Overview

  • Max Muncy crushed three home runs, finishing with a two‑out walk‑off in the ninth Friday, to give the Dodgers an 8‑7 win over the Rangers.
  • The Mariners beat the Astros 9‑6 Friday after starter Tatsuya Imai failed to finish the first inning, stretching Houston’s losing streak to five.
  • Houston set a medical check for Imai’s “tired arm” and adjusted its staff, sending JP France to Triple‑A Sugar Land and recalling Jayden Murray.
  • The Mets called up veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel on Saturday to boost a bullpen that has struggled to miss bats during a three‑game slide.
  • The Phillies halted a three‑game skid Saturday as Kyle Schwarber hit a go‑ahead three‑run homer and Bryce Harper went deep two pitches later to top the Diamondbacks 4‑3.
