Milwaukee cemented itself as the best team in baseball with a 14-game winning streak.

Overview

  • The Cincinnati Reds rallied in the 10th inning to halt Milwaukee’s 14-game midseason surge in extra innings.
  • New York secured a 7-3 Little League Classic win at Bowman Field to notch consecutive victories for the first time since late July.
  • Mark Vientos delivered a three-run homer and both Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez recorded multihit nights to power the Mets’ offense.
  • Alvarez exited with a right-thumb injury and is headed to New York for an MRI, intensifying concerns over his hand health as the wild-card race tightens.
  • The Yankees completed an 8-4 sweep of the Cardinals with late-inning heroics and the Blue Jays crushed the Rangers 14-2 behind Myles Straw’s first career multi-homer game.
