Overview

  • The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 Monday as Eduardo Rodríguez tossed six one-run innings and Tommy Troy, Nolan Arenado and Ketel Marte hit homers that tied, gave the lead, and provided insurance.
  • Seattle extended its win streak to seven with a 3-2, 10th-inning walk-off over the New York Mets when Cole Young delivered a broken-bat single for the winner.
  • Detroit snapped a four-game skid in a 10-9 upset of Tampa Bay that featured five Tigers homers and a five-out save, a result that has intensified speculation about trading rehabbing ace Tarik Skubal.
  • Georgia Tech advanced to the regional final and reached 50 wins for the first time since 2006 after Parker Brosius hit two two-run homers and has totaled nine homers since graduating earlier in May.
  • Taken together, Monday’s results highlight the growing emphasis on quality starts, late-inning execution, and injured-star timelines as factors that could reshape standings and trade-market activity before August.
