Shohei Ohtani needed a ninth-inning single on Saturday night to extend his on-base streak to 50, but he made it 51 early in Sunday’s game, moving past Willie Keeler for third all-time in Dodgers franchise history. The four-time MVP will try to keep the streak alive when Los Angeles concludes a four-game series at the Colorado Rockies on Monday night in Denver.

The Mariners are scheduled to open a three-game home series against the American League West rival Athletics on Monday. “You never want to be in a slump, especially early in the year, new team, new city,” said Refsnyder,

The Cardinals entered Sunday ranked third in the National League in homers and seventh in runs. They have scored at least five runs in five straight games.
