Overview
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched a complete game in an 8-2 Dodgers win over the Yankees in the morning half of Sunday’s rain‑forced day‑night doubleheader, allowing four hits with seven strikeouts and no walks.
- The Dodgers broke the game open with a multi‑run eighth inning and used Yamamoto’s efficiency to set up a rested bullpen for the nightcap.
- Detroit continued its hot stretch after Hao‑Yu Lee’s two‑run, two‑out double lifted the Tigers to a 2-1 comeback win over the Angels on July 17 and Casey Mize was scheduled to start in the series finale as the Tigers chase more wins.
- The Mariners won a 10‑inning game in Seattle when Cole Young hit a three‑run homer to tie the game and Julio Rodríguez delivered a 10th‑inning sacrifice fly in his first game back from the concussion injured list.
- Across the league teams are juggling lineup gaps and governance issues as they plan for the Aug. 3 trade deadline, with the Yankees managing absences for Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe and Paul Goldschmidt, the Mets facing a report of unauthorized AI use on league iPads and Tigers arms such as Tarik Skubal being mentioned as potential deadline targets.
