Who won Yankees vs D-Backs Game Last Night?
With an early-season record of 5-0 owing to their sweep of the Houston Astros on opening weekend, the Yankees sought to extend their winning streak over the defending NL champs in the desert.

After battling injuries last season, Yankees starter Nestor Cortes was hoping to start the new season with a win. However, things got rough for the Cuban quick after young D-Backs catcher Gabriel Moreno's RBI single made it 3-0.
Cortes would be chased after five innings before Christian Walker's three-run shot solidified the 7-0 Snakes win, handing the New York Yankees their first loss of the season.
Who won Rays vs Rangers Game Last Night?
The Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays linked up for a rematch of the 2023 AL Wild Card Series at the Trop.

Rangers catcher Jonah Heim would knock in a couple, but the Rays still won 5-2.

Shohei Ohtani's Los Angeles Dodgers were looking to keep their spot at the top of the NL West as they played host to the Giants on Tuesday.

The Dodgers were able to seal the 5-4 victory and maintain their top position.
