Overview
- The Seattle Mariners reunited with Eugenio Suárez and rode Cal Raleigh’s major-league-leading 42nd homer to a 6-0 win over Texas in their first post-deadline outing.
- The Atlanta Braves, despite acting as sellers, edged the Cincinnati Reds 12-11 in a wild opener marked by back-to-back eight-run eighth innings and a three-run homer from new acquisition Ke’Bryan Hayes.
- New York Mets relievers Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers and outfielder Cedric Mullins have bolstered the bullpen and outfield, with Mullins arriving just before Friday’s opener against the San Francisco Giants.
- Houston’s newly acquired trio—Carlos Correa, Ramón Urías and Jesús Sánchez—debuted at Fenway but the Astros managed only one run in a 2-1 loss despite Hunter Brown’s seven strong innings.
- The Milwaukee Brewers, who made minimal deadline moves, opened a series against the Washington Nationals, who traded veterans including closer Kyle Finnegan and infielder Amed Rosario for prospects.
