Overview
- The Milwaukee Brewers erupted for a 22-0 victory Tuesday, tying the club record for runs in a game and producing one of the most lopsided home shutouts in modern Major League Baseball.
- The Chicago Cubs posted back-to-back walk-off wins, with Alex Bregman delivering a ninth‑inning single, giving the club 13 walk-off victories this season which leads MLB and ties a modern franchise mark.
- Fernando Tatis Jr. homered twice and robbed a would‑be grand slam in the San Diego Padres' 5-2 win over the New York Mets, a performance that helped the Padres maintain a two‑game cushion for the third National League wild‑card spot.
- In Baltimore, Shane Baz struck out 10 over 6.1 strong innings but took a 3-1 loss after the Orioles went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, while Carlos Rodón returned from an almost two‑month absence to allow one run over four innings in the Yankees’ win.
- Taken together, these games underscore post‑trade‑deadline trends: clubs are balancing starter workloads, managing bullpen and depth, and relying on timely individual outings that can shift short-term standings and clubhouse confidence.
