Overview

• Milwaukee beat Chicago to avoid a four-game slide and became MLB’s first 80-win team, though the Cubs still took the five-game set 3-2.
• Boston rookie Roman Anthony delivered a game-tying single and a late home run at Yankee Stadium as the Red Sox opened a four-game series with a win.
• Francisco Lindor set a Mets record with his eighth leadoff homer of the season, but New York lost and saw Cincinnati pull within a half-game in the wild-card race.
• Vinnie Pasquantino homered for the fourth straight game, and the Royals’ 24-14 run over their past 38 games has them two back of a wild-card spot.
• Oakland’s Tyler Soderstrom went 4-for-4 to push MLB’s longest active hitting streak to 19 games.
