MLB roundup: Isaac Collins’ walk-off HR lifts Brewers to 9th straight win

Brewers Rally Late to Stun Mets

The Milwaukee Brewers just keep finding ways to win, and on Sunday it was Isaac Collins delivering the knockout punch. Trailing the Mets 5-0 early, Milwaukee chipped away with a William Contreras solo homer in the fourth and a two-run single by Joey Ortiz. Pete Alonso added an RBI double in the fifth to stretch New York’s lead, but Contreras answered again with a two-run blast to pull within one. After a scoreless eighth, Nick Mears set the stage with a perfect ninth before Collins crushed Edwin Díaz’s fifth pitch of the inning just over the right-field wall for a 7-6 walk-off win. The victory extended Milwaukee’s streak to nine straight and gave them 12 wins in their last 13 games, solidifying their MLB-best 73-44 record. Meanwhile, the Mets have dropped seven straight and 11 of their last 12, watching their NL Wild Card lead over Cincinnati shrink to just 1.5 games.

Game Leaders – Brewers vs. Mets

Blue Jays Avoid Sweep in LA with Late Power

In Los Angeles, the Blue Jays avoided a sweep in dramatic fashion as Ernie Clement blasted the first pitch of the ninth over the left-field fence to break a tie and secure a 5-4 win over the Dodgers. Down 3-2 in the eighth, Toronto got back-to-back solo homers from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and rookie Addison Barger to take the lead, but Freddie Freeman’s bases-loaded walk in the bottom half tied it again. Clement’s ninth-inning heroics proved decisive, and the Dodgers’ attempt to sweep a winning-record opponent for the first time this season came up short.

Cardinals Edge Cubs in Tight Central Clash

The Cardinals topped the Cubs 3-2 in St. Louis thanks to Nolan Gorman’s redemption moment. After committing a throwing error earlier in the game, Gorman delivered the game-winning RBI. Pedro Pages homered in the second inning to give St. Louis an early edge, while Matt Shaw’s two-run blast for Chicago kept things close. Sonny Gray earned his 11th win of the year, allowing just one earned run over seven innings, and the Cubs’ loss pushed them six games back in the NL Central.

Astros Shut Down Yankees Behind Alexander’s Gem

Jason Alexander nearly made history at Yankee Stadium, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth before settling for six scoreless innings in Houston’s 7-1 win. Jose Altuve opened the scoring by crushing Max Fried’s first pitch for his 250th career home run, giving the Astros an early spark. Rookie Cam Smith added a clutch two-run double, and Houston’s pitching staff limited the Yankees to just three hits on the day. New York’s lone run came on a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Mariners Sweep Rays with Raleigh’s Big Bat

Seattle’s Cal Raleigh continued his monster season by hitting his MLB-leading 45th home run in a 6-3 win over the Rays, sealing a three-game sweep. Josh Naylor also went deep, and Bryan Woo delivered another strong start, striking out nine over six innings for his 10th win. Ha-Seong Kim homered for Tampa Bay, but it wasn’t enough to stop their third consecutive loss. Mariners fans can follow their hot streak on baseball service plays.

Nationals Blank Giants, Spoil Verlander’s Milestone

It was supposed to be Justin Verlander’s day as the veteran reached the 3,500-strikeout milestone in the first inning, but the Nationals spoiled the celebration with an 8-0 rout in San Francisco. James Wood drove in four runs with a pair of doubles, CJ Abrams added a two-run homer, and Washington’s pitching staff combined for a three-hit shutout. Verlander’s tough season continued as he fell to 1-9.

White Sox End Skid with Win Over Guardians

The White Sox jumped on Cleveland early with back-to-back first-inning homers from Lenyn Sosa and Colson Montgomery, cruising to a 6-4 win that snapped a six-game losing streak. Chicago built a 5-0 lead after three innings and held on despite Kyle Manzardo’s two solo shots for the Guardians, ending Cleveland’s five-game win streak.

Twins Walk Off in Extras Against Royals

Rookie Luke Keaschall sent Target Field into a frenzy by smashing a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 11th to lift Minnesota to a 5-3 win over Kansas City. Fellow rookie Ryan Fitzgerald hit his first big-league homer earlier, while the Royals got a two-run shot from Vinnie Pasquantino but couldn’t hold a late lead.
