Overview

  • Juan Soto’s eighth-inning dash secured a 3-2 Mets win over the Reds and prevented a three-game sweep, with Ryne Stanek earning the save after Edwin Díaz’s blown opportunity.
  • Wilyer Abreu hit two late homers and Alex Bregman delivered a pinch-hit three-run shot to fuel the Red Sox’s 6-1 win over the Cubs, backed by Garrett Crochet’s six sharp innings.
  • Shota Imanaga spun seven scoreless innings and leadoff batter Michael Busch launched a first-pitch homer in the Cubs’ 6-0 blanking of Boston, a win that moved Chicago to 59-39 and held the majors’ best record.
  • Chandler Simpson extended his hitting streak to 18 games and scored the go-ahead run on Ryan O’Hearn’s throwing error in the Rays’ three-run eighth, leading to a 4-3 comeback win over the Orioles.
  • Cincinnati reached five games above .500 for the first time since 2023 but fell 3-2 in Sunday’s finale as Andrew Abbott allowed two runs over six innings.
