What a Monday night in Major League Baseball! We saw aces dominate, grand slams fly, and plenty of extra-inning drama. If you’re always on the hunt for the latest MLB Baseball odds and scores, or keen on detailed service plays for baseball, you’re in the right place!

Braves Batter Brewers, Sale Shines Bright

The Atlanta Braves finally snapped their painful seven-game losing streak, taking down the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on the road. It was all about Chris Sale, who absolutely carved up the Brewers’ lineup. Sale (4-4) was nearly unhittable, allowing just one run over seven-plus innings, fanning a season-high 11 batters, and walking only two. The Braves’ bats woke up too, with Matt Olson and Eli White each crushing two-run homers, and Ronald Acuna Jr. adding a solo shot. It was a much-needed win after dropping 14 of their last 17. Plus, Ozzie Albies hit two singles, reaching 1,000 career hits and extending his impressive on-base streak to 24 games. The Brewers, meanwhile, continue to struggle offensively, scoring just one run total in their last three losses. For more general sports odds and scores, check out our main page.

Walk-Off Wonders: D-backs & Phillies Grab Thrilling Wins

Talk about clutch! The Arizona Diamondbacks recovered from a late-game scare to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4 in 11 innings. The hero? Josh Naylor, who delivered a massive walk-off grand slam in the 11th, his third hit of the game, breaking a three-game skid for the D-backs. The Mariners had clawed back from a four-run deficit in the ninth with RBI singles and a two-run homer, but it wasn’t enough.

Over in Philadelphia, the Phillies also celebrated an 11th-inning walk-off, rallying to defeat the Chicago Cubs 4-3. After the Cubs took a lead in the top of the 11th, Philadelphia roared back with a game-tying single from J.T. Realmuto and then Brandon Marsh’s RBI single for the dramatic win. Otto Kemp picked up his first three MLB hits for the Phillies, who also snapped a five-game losing streak.

Pirates Stay Hot, Reds Beat Rivals, Jays Walk Off Cards

The Pittsburgh Pirates are on a roll! They extended their season-high winning streak to four games with a dominant 10-3 victory over the Miami Marlins. Adam Frazier and Andrew McCutchen each had three hits, and Bryan Reynolds added a bases-clearing triple. Every Pirate starter recorded at least one hit in their highest-scoring game of the season.

The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a 5-4 extra-inning victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alejandro Kirk was the star, going 4-for-5 with a homer and the decisive RBI double in the 10th. Jonatan Clase forced extras with a game-tying homer in the ninth, helping the Jays to their 10th win in 12 games.

Rays Win High-Scoring Marathon, Angels Stay Perfect Against A’s

The Tampa Bay Rays outlasted the Boston Red Sox in an 11-inning slugfest, winning 10-8. Jake Mangum had a huge night with four hits and two RBIs, and Massachusetts native Ian Seymour earned a win in his major league debut for the Rays.

Finally, the Los Angeles Angels continued their dominance over the Oakland Athletics, winning 7-4. Yusei Kikuchi was brilliant, tossing 7 1/3 shutout innings, and Jo Adell blasted a homer with three RBIs. The Angels are now a perfect 5-0 against the A’s this season.
