Overview

• Los Angeles fell on a walk-off in Baltimore for a fourth straight loss despite an emergency 3⅔ scoreless start from Shohei Ohtani, yet still leads the NL West after the Padres lost to the Rockies.
• San Francisco won for the 11th time in 12 games and extended its homer run to 18 straight contests, closing to four games behind the Mets for the final NL wild-card spot.
• Edwin Díaz wriggled out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam to seal the Mets’ 5-4 win over the Reds, keeping New York in the third NL wild-card position and dropping Cincinnati six back.
• Texas edged Houston 4-3 in 12 innings to move within a half-game of the Mariners for the final AL wild card and within four of the AL West lead as Seattle’s road slide continued.
• Cleveland halted Tampa Bay’s seven-game win streak with a 7-1 win, and MLB ruled Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell’s confiscated bat illegal but imposed no penalties.
