With “No Kings Day” behind us, it is safe for the Padres’ Michael King to make his third start of the season in Pittsburgh.

King, a former Yankee, reigned when he one-hit the Tigers for five frames, but the Red Sox scored four runs in 5 ²/₃ innings in his last start.

And fans in San Diego were rallying against tyranny again.

The Pirates’ Mitch Keller was sharp in both of his starts, allowing two runs and nine hits over 12 innings. King me.

Play $50 on the Padres.

It was 36 degrees in Chicago, and it got much colder when the White Sox took a 2-0 lead at Trevor Rogers’ expense.

But the Orioles warmed to the task and came back.

With the game tied at 2-2, Gunnar Henderson launched a two-run homer off Chris Murphy.

The Baltimore bullpen threw no-hit ball for 3 innings and the Blackbirds soiled the White Sox 4-2.

Winner. Up +98 earlweavers.
