Overview
- Cleveland beat Tampa Bay 7-1 behind a five-run second inning triggered by an Ian Seymour error, snapping the Rays’ seven-game win streak and bringing the Guardians to 70-70.
- Texas edged Houston 4-3 in 12 innings on rookie Dustin Harris’s game-ending double after his call-up for the injured Adolis García, pulling the Rangers within four games in the AL West and a half-game of the final wild card.
- Houston’s hitters continue to profile among MLB’s most aggressive, with high swing and chase rates and the fewest pitches seen per plate appearance, a balance manager Joe Espada, GM Dana Brown and Carlos Correa have publicly dissected.
- Arizona topped Boston 10-5 as Eduardo Rodríguez allowed one run over six innings, returning the Diamondbacks to .500 and keeping their postseason hopes in play.
- Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. left his game with back spasms, and manager Matt Quatraro said trainers were working to calm the issue with no immediate update.
