Former Vols by the numbers in 2025 MLB Week 6
Former Vols by the numbers in 2025 MLB Week 6
Week 6 of the 2025 MLB season has concluded.
Four former Vols began the week in MLB: Jordan Beck (Colorado), Chase Dollander (Colorado), Garrett Crochet (Boston) and Seth Halvorsen (Colorado).
Former Tennessee pitcher Blade Tidwell also made his MLB debut Sunday for the Mets. He was called up from Triple-A to make a spot start at St. Louis. Tidwell's promotion raised the number of former Vols to reach MLB from the Tony Vitello era to nine.
Former Vol pitcher Ben Joyce has not returned to the Angels after being placed on the 15-day injured list April 11, retroactive to April 9, due to shoulder inflammation.
Below are performances from former Vols during Week 6 of the 2025 MLB season.
Blade Tidwell
Tidwell started in game No. 1 of the Mets' doubleheader at St. Louis on Sunday.
He pitched 3.2 innings and totaled two strikeouts, while allowing nine hits, six runs and three walks. Tidwell recorded a loss in the Cardinals' win.
Jordan Beck
Beck hit two doubles and an additional trip to second base as a result of errors against the Braves on April 28. He reached base twice on April 29, walking in the third inning and hitting a single in the sixth inning that led to him scoring a run.
Beck hit a ground-rule double to tie the game and later scored the winning run at San Francisco on May 1. He hit a single in each of the final three games of the series and scored runs in two of the contests.
Garrett Crochet
Crochet earned his third win of the season on April 29. He pitched seven innings and struck out six Blue Jays, while allowing four hits, two runs and three walks.
A line drive bounced off Crochet's nose in his start against the Twins on Sunday. He totaled six strikeouts and allowed four hits, one run and two walks in 5.2 innings. Boston's bullpen allowed four runs in a loss to Minnesota.
Chase Dollander
Dollander totaled four strikeouts and allowed two hits, one run and three walks against the Braves on April 30.
After pitching 5.2 innings, he suffered a finger cut and left the game. Dollander's effort was enough to earn his second win of the season.
Seth Halvorsen
Halvorsen allowed two hits and one run in the eighth inning against Atlanta on April 29. He appeared again in the eighth inning on April 30, totaling two strikeouts and 15 pitches.
Halvorsen's final appearance last week was in relief of Tyler Kinley on Sunday. He allowed a single to score a runner, but recorded the last out in the seventh inning three pitches later.

Springs leads Athletics to 5-1 win over Guardians
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Jeffrey Springs allowed three hits in a season-high 7 1/3 innings, rookie Nick Kurtz homered for a third straight game and the Athletics beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-1 on Friday night. Springs (6-5) struck out six and walked one, throwing 104 pitches for his first win since May 13. He left with a 4-1 lead after giving up Angel Martínez's homer. Kurtz followed a two-out single by Brent Rooker with his 10th home run — a 406-foot shot to left-center field — to give the Athletics the lead against Guardians starter Tanner Bibee (4-7). Tyler Soderstrom singled leading off the second and two straight fielding errors by José Ramírez at third loaded the bases. Lawrence Butler singled for a 3-0 lead. Wilson had a two-out RBI single for a 4-0 lead in the seventh. Soderstrom singled with two outs in the eighth, stole his fifth base and scored on Luis Urías' single for the final run. Michael Kelly got the final two outs in the eighth and Mason Miller pitched the ninth, closing out the four-hitter with help from another dazzling catch by Denzel Clarke. Bibee allowed five runs — four earned — on 11 hits with season highs of eight innings and 10 strikeouts. The Athletics have won six of their last eight. Key moment Cleveland never recovered after Kurtz homered for the fifth time in his last six games and the ninth time in his last 15. Key stat Kurtz, who played his first game on April 23, is the only player to hit four home runs in the ninth inning or later in a five-game span of a single season. He is one of five players age 22 or younger to hit two walk-off homers in a calendar month. Up next Guardians RHP L.L. Ortiz (3-8, 4.64 ERA) starts Saturday opposite Athletics RHP Mitch Spence (2-1, 3.50). ___ AP MLB:
