Overview

  • The Kansas City Royals opened their post-deadline slate with a 9-3 victory over the Blue Jays, fueled by newcomer Mike Yastrzemski’s two-run homer.
  • The New York Yankees’ newly acquired relievers Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval combined to allow nine runs in seven outs, resulting in a 13-12 walk-off loss to the Marlins.
  • The Boston Red Sox secured a 2-1 walk-off win over the Astros, as Dustin May and Steven Matz bolstered the pitching staff and Roman Anthony delivered a 10th-inning RBI.
  • The New York Mets fell 4-3 in 10 innings to the Giants despite closer Ryan Helsley striking out three in a scoreless ninth during his debut.
  • After trading Tyler Rogers, the San Francisco Giants leaned on Robbie Ray’s seven-inning outing and a reshaped bullpen to edge the Mets 4-3 in extra innings.
