Overview
- Edgar Quero’s 12th‑inning RBI single gave the White Sox a 6-5 extra‑innings victory over the Yankees on July 30, erasing New York’s early lead.
- The White Sox followed with an 11th‑inning walk‑off when Tristan Peters drew a bases‑loaded walk that produced the deciding run on July 31.
- Those consecutive extra‑inning losses have pushed the Yankees several games back of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East and left New York evaluating its bullpen and roster moves.
- The Mets and Marlins split the short series as Luis Robert Jr. hit a two‑run single to lift the Mets in one game and Jakob Marsee’s two‑run double plus Kyle Stowers’ homer gave Miami a 5-2 win the next night.
- National League wild‑card positioning tightened as the Padres beat the Rockies to sit close to Philadelphia and Eduardo Rodríguez’s eight scoreless innings helped the Diamondbacks move two games ahead of Pittsburgh for the final wild‑card spot.
