Overview
- Dansby Swanson drove in 11 runs in a day-night doubleheader and has 15 RBIs in the first three games of the series, setting a Cubs franchise record for RBIs in a doubleheader and becoming the first MLB player with 15 RBIs in a series since 2016.
- The Cubs swept the doubleheader at Citi Field with 10-3 and 10-5 wins, and Swanson supplied go-ahead homers, a grand slam, a run-scoring triple and a two-run single across the games.
- New York's defense crumbled in the nightcap when the Mets committed six errors that led to five unearned runs and contributed to a five-game losing streak and a season-low 12 games under .500.
- The Dodgers completed a separate sweep of the Twins on Wednesday as Shohei Ohtani struck out eight over six innings and Mookie Betts hit his 300th career home run, underscoring pitching and individual milestones shaping recent series outcomes.
- Braves reliever Robert Suárez was held out with right forearm soreness and will play catch for re-evaluation, a development that tightens bullpen planning for Atlanta as teams manage injuries before the All-Star break.
