Brice Turang's sac fly in 10th lifts Brewers past Astros
May 29, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Astros second baseman Nick Allen (20) drives in a run with a sacrifice fly during the fourth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Daikin Park. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Brice Turang produced a sacrifice fly that scored Christian Yelich in the top of the 10th inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the Houston Astros 5-4 on Friday in the opener of a three-game interleague series.
Yelich, who opened the 10th at second base, used speed to manufacture the winning run. He made a daring dash to third on a shallow flyout to center fielder Jake Meyers, whose errant throw allowed Yelich to advance. Yelich scored when Turang followed with a flyout to right off Astros reliever Alimber Santa (0-1).
Trevor Megill earned his seventh save with a scoreless 10th. Abner Uribe (3-2) retired pinch-hitter Brice Matthews and Isaac Paredes with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
The Brewers fashioned a rally in the top of the eighth against Astros reliever Bryan Abreu, whose inability to throw strikes greased the skids to his departure after recording only one out.
Abreu threw nine consecutive balls to begin his outing, issuing four-pitch walks to Jackson Chourio and Turang before getting a called strike with a 1-0 fastball to William Contreras, whose flyout to center field placed runners on the corners for Jake Bauers. Abreu departed before Bauers came to the plate, with Astros closer Bryan King entering to preserve the one-run lead.
However, Bauers delivered a run-scoring groundout to the right side of the infield that tied the game at 4-4. King held the line, but the Brewers had new life after erasing a three-run deficit.
The Astros seized that early advantage behind Cam Smith, whose solo homer with one out in the bottom of the second broke a scoreless tie. Smith drilled an 0-1 cutter from Brewers starter Coleman Crow 419 feet to left-center for his sixth homer. Two innings later, Smith struck again.
After Milwaukee pulled even via a leadoff home run from David Hamilton in the third, Smith keyed a three-run uprising in the fourth with an RBI double to right-center that plated Yordan Alvarez and pushed the Astros to a 2-1 lead. Jake Meyers added a run-scoring double that scored Christian Walker before Nick Allen produced a sacrifice fly to drive in Braden Shewmake.
Crow allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks with one strikeout over four innings. But the Brewers removed him from the hook with their rally, which started when Chourio crushed a two-run homer to left-center off Astros starter Kai-Wei Teng in the fifth inning.

Athletics RHP Luis Severino exits after 1 inning with injury
May 29, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA; Athletics pitcher Luis Severino (40) follows through on a pitch against the New York Yankees in the first inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images Right-hander Luis Severino exited the Athletics’ Friday game against the New York Yankees in West Sacramento, Calif., before the top of the second inning due to an undisclosed injury.
Severino, 32, was warming up when he suddenly walked to the back of the mound and looked toward the dugout, prompting catcher Shea Langeliers to signal to the dugout. Severino left the game following a brief discussion with a trainer and manager Mark Kotsay.
He was replaced by left-hander Jose Suarez.
Severino was initially scheduled to start against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, but his start was pushed back. The initial reasoning was that the A’s wanted left-handers to start against the Mariners.
Severino gave up four runs — all unearned — in the first inning due to a throwing error by first baseman Nick Kurtz. Aaron Judge had an RBI single, and Paul Goldschmidt drilled a three-run homer.
Severino pitched for the Yankees from 2015-23, and the right-hander had been treated rudely by his former teammates entering Friday, compiling an 0-2 record and a 10.66 ERA in three starts. He is in his second season with the Athletics after spending 2024 with the New York Mets.
Through 12 starts this year, Severino has a 4.16 ERA.

Hurricanes finish off Canadiens in Game 5, will face Vegas in Stanley Cup Final
May 29, 2026; Raleigh, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Hurricanes left wing Eric Robinson (50) reacts after scoring an even strength goal against Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes (75) in game five of the Eastern Conference Final of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs during the first period during the first period at Lenovo Center. Mandatory Credit: James Guillory-Imagn Images Taylor Hall and Logan Stankoven each posted one-goal, two-assist performances to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., that sends them to the Stanley Cup Final.
Jackson Blake and Seth Jarvis both scored once and added an assist, while Eric Robinson and Shayne Gostisbehere added singles for Carolina, which claimed the Eastern Conference finals in five games.
Goaltender Frederik Andersen made 23 saves.
The Hurricanes will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, which begins on Tuesday in Raleigh. Vegas swept the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference finals.
The Golden Knights won the two meetings this season, both taking place in the opening month.
Cole Caufield replied for the Canadiens, who won the series opener but became overmatched by the more veteran Hurricanes as the series continued.
Goalie Jakub Dobes stopped 23 shots.
The Hurricanes have lost only one game en route to reaching the final for the first time since they won the Stanley Cup in 2006. They are the first team to start the playoffs with a 12-1 mark since the 1976 Canadiens.
Just like in Game 4, the hosts used a three-goal first period to springboard to victory.
Hall opened the scoring just past the midway point of the opening frame when he pounced on a rebound opportunity created by Stankoven’s rush to the net.
Stankoven doubled the lead six minutes later when he rifled a top-corner shot from the right faceoff dot for his team-leading ninth tally.
Robinson capped the dominant period by converting a breakaway chance at the 16:52 mark for his third goal of the series.
The Hurricanes did not let up after the intermission. Blake made it a four-goal edge at 7:19 of the second period when he buried a rebound after Stankoven was denied on a breakaway chance.
Gostisbehere’s power-play goal with 1:58 remaining in the middle frame — he slid home an opportunity from the doorstep — made it a 5-0 affair.
Caufield spoiled Andersen’s bid for a second consecutive shutout when he notched a power-play goal with 9:10 remaining in regulation.
Jarvis rounded out the scoring with an empty-net goal.
