About this listen

The Yankees capped a sweep with an 11-3 rout over the Orioles, fueled by a seven-run eighth inning, seven homers including two from Cody Bellinger, and a tribute to legendary broadcaster John Sterling. The Cubs extended their Wrigley Field win streak to 12 straight thanks to Michael Conforto's pinch-hit walk-off homer. Atlanta became the first team to 20 wins, beating the spiraling Phillies to stretch their division lead to six games, while Matt Olson crushed a walk-off homer for the Braves in another thriller.

Injuries hit hard: Tigers ace Tarik Skubal heads for elbow surgery to remove loose bodies, sidelining Detroit's staff; Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet landed on the IL after a rocky start; Tigers also placed Casey Mize and Javier Báez on IL; Mets' CF Robert joined the IL list; Astros' Yainer Diaz incoming to IL.

Trades shook things up: Braves dealt catcher Jonah Heim to the Athletics for cash and activated Sean Murphy from hip surgery; White Sox signed outfielder Randal Grichuk to a major league deal. Phillies fired manager Rob Thomson amid struggles.

Standouts included Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto with eight strikeouts in a Houston win, Munetaka Murakami's 429-foot blast tying Aaron Judge, and Giants calling up top prospect Bryce Eldridge to boost their offense. Off the field, the Padres finalized a record $3.9 billion team sale pending MLB approval.

Mexico City saw a wild D-Backs-Padres shootout with 19 runs and six homers. ABS challenge stats show Mets, Cubs, and Royals leading success rates.
