Last night, the Dodgers clinched a close 3-2 win over the Mariners, with Kiké Hernández delivering a crucial two-run homer while Dalton Rushing added two hits and a pivotal RBI. With this win, the Dodgers continued their strong performance heading into the postseason, and both teams remain highly relevant to the playoff picture according to ESPN. The Blue Jays downed the Rays 4-2, maintaining their tie with the Yankees atop the AL East, while the Yankees secured an 8-4 victory over the Orioles to stay locked in this division race. Toronto also welcomed back Anthony Santander from the injured list, a timely boost as they push for a division title.
In the National League, the Reds kept their playoff hopes alive by edging the Brewers 3-1, pulling even with the Mets for the NL’s final wild card slot. Francisco Lindor continues to make history for the Mets, who fell to the Marlins last night and now face mounting pressure in the final days of the season. The Cubs routed the Cardinals 12-1, keeping up their momentum in the NL Central as they build toward a likely playoff berth. Meanwhile, the Phillies shut down the Twins 3-1 behind solid pitching, having already eliminated Miami from wild card contention.
Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo struck out twelve before leaving with a groin injury according to ESPN, raising concerns for Cincinnati’s pitching staff during this pivotal stretch. The Rangers snapped their losing skid with a 7-3 win against the Guardians, but Texas had previously been eliminated from postseason consideration after a rough stretch, and they’re now without key contributors Corey Seager and Marcus Semien for the remainder of the year.
Shohei Ohtani continues his MVP-caliber season by hitting his 54th home run, tying his career high and helping the Dodgers clinch the NL West earlier this week. The Pirates pulled off a 9-3 upset over the Braves while the White Sox outlasted the Nationals 10-9 in a wild extra-innings affair. Elsewhere, the Red Sox edged past the Tigers 4-3, the Giants dispatched the Rockies 6-3, and the Padres topped the Diamondbacks 7-4. The Royals lost a tight 4-3 contest to the Athletics in West Sacramento.
