Overview

  • David Peterson was tagged for a career-high eight runs in two-plus innings, and New York’s rally behind Juan Soto’s two homers fell short in an 11-8 loss to Miami at Citi Field.
  • Connor Norby, in his second game back from the injured list, delivered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh and a two-run double in the ninth to seal it for the Marlins.
  • Recently called up Chris Devenski provided three scoreless innings of relief for the Mets, who are 73-63, 5.5 games behind the Phillies in the NL East, and still hold a multi-game cushion for the final wild card.
  • After Milwaukee’s back-to-back ninth-inning homers beat Toronto on Saturday, the Blue Jays avoided a sweep Sunday with an 8-4 win; the Brewers remain MLB’s best at 85-53 as Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5.
  • The White Sox snapped the Yankees’ seven-game streak 3-2 on Lenyn Sosa’s eighth-inning homer, leaving New York three games behind Toronto and narrowly ahead of Boston for the top AL wild card.
