Blue Jays 5, Marlins 2
Shane Bieber’s first big-league outing in 507 days was worth the wait. The 2020 AL Cy Young winner, making his Toronto debut, carved through Miami for six innings with nine strikeouts and no walks, yielding only a solo shot to Javier Sanoja. Daulton Varsho supplied the thump with a double, a homer, and three RBIs as the Jays controlled the night. If you’re eyeing spots like a returning ace at a short price, these MLB moneyline tips explain why elite command and strikeout profiles often move numbers quickly.
Red Sox 1, Yankees 0
Brayan Bello silenced New York again, spinning seven scoreless frames of three-hit ball to clinch the season series for Boston. The only run came in the seventh when Connor Wong rifled a double down the left-field line to score Nathaniel Lowe. Max Fried was solid across six innings (seven K’s), but the Yankees’ bats couldn’t solve Bello’s tunneling and late sink.
Padres 2, Dodgers 1
Yu Darvish outdueled Blake Snell in a crisp duel at Petco. San Diego’s two-run fourth—Manny Machado’s RBI single followed by a Xander Bogaerts sac fly—was just enough, with Robert Suarez closing his MLB-leading 34th save. Rookie Alex Freeland’s first major-league homer accounted for L.A.’s run.
Brewers 5, Giants 4
After a wild pitch tied it in the top of the ninth, William Contreras restored order with a two-out walk-off homer to give Milwaukee win No. 81. Randy Rodríguez had retired the first two Brewers before Contreras turned on No. 14 for the season. Willy Adames kept San Francisco afloat earlier with a pair of solo shots.
Mets 12, Braves 7
Rookie Nolan McLean looked beyond his years—seven innings, seven K’s, two runs—while Juan Soto snapped an 0-for-9 with three hits and four RBIs, including his 32nd homer. New York rapped 21 hits (tying a season high) and flipped an early Atlanta lead into a comfortable road win despite a Ronald Acuña Jr. blast.
Diamondbacks 6, Reds 5 (11)
Back from the 60-day IL, Gabriel Moreno wasted no time, crushing a three-run homer in the third. The winner came in the 11th when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. lined a single to center to score Corbin Carroll. Jalen Beeks tossed a scoreless top half; Scott Barlow couldn’t match in the bottom.
Rays 10, Cardinals 6
Top prospect Carson Williams made a loud debut with two hits and a two-run homer, while Junior Caminero, Brandon Lowe, and Tristan Gray also left the yard. Jake Mangum piled up four hits as Tampa Bay snapped a four-game slide. Adrian Houser worked into the seventh for the win; St. Louis got homers from Nathan Church and Willson Contreras but couldn’t keep pace.
Twins 9, White Sox 7
Royce Lewis powered Minnesota with a three-hit night headlined by a grand slam, and Justin Topa recorded the final five outs to secure it. Chicago rallied late to within one before Lewis cut down the tying run at the plate on a foul-out tag attempt—a game-saving hose that capped a wild eighth.
Pirates 9, Rockies 0
Pittsburgh’s pitching was clinical: Braxton Ashcraft set the tone over five strong innings and Bubba Chandler finished a rare four-inning save in his MLB debut to complete the shutout. Tommy Pham homered and doubled, Andrew McCutchen drove in four, and the Bucs stacked 10 extra-base hits in a rout.
Nationals 5, Phillies 4
Washington erased a ninth-inning deficit when Daylen Lile tied it with an RBI single, then scored the winner on a throwing error moments later. Riley Adams’ three-run homer set the early tone. Philadelphia got long balls from Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto and a three-hit night from Nick Castellanos, but the bullpen couldn’t land the final punch.
Tigers 7, Royals 5
Riley Greene launched his 30th (a two-run shot) and Zach McKinstry added a solo blast as Detroit rallied past Kansas City for its fourth straight win. Kyle Finnegan delivered two scoreless innings in relief to lock it down. Vinnie Pasquantino stayed sizzling with a ninth-inning homer—his fifth straight game with a dinger—to tie a Royals record.
Cubs 3, Angels 2
Pete Crow-Armstrong’s go-ahead laser in the ninth decided it in Anaheim. Brad Keller earned the win in relief and Daniel Palencia slammed the door for save No. 19. Yoan Moncada’s two homers weren’t enough to end Tyler Anderson’s team-record winless skid, which reached 21 consecutive starts.
Rangers 4, Guardians 3
Texas walked it off in Arlington: after a Wyatt Langford double and a Corey Seager game-tying single, Joc Pederson ripped the next pitch into the right-field corner to plate Seager. Earlier, Rowdy Tellez and Langford homered as the Rangers overcame José Ramírez’s late two-run double.
Astros 10, Orioles 7
A pair of three-run homers—from Jeremy Peña early and Christian Walker in the fifth—gave Houston enough cushion to withstand multiple Baltimore rallies. The O’s cut it to 7-6 before the Astros answered with three in the eighth. Colton Cowser and Vimael Machín homered for Baltimore, which stranded 11.
Mariners 3, Athletics 2
Josh Naylor’s 100th career homer broke a seventh-inning tie as Seattle snapped a five-game skid. Bryan Woo was superb—seven innings, one hit, one run—before Andrés Muñoz navigated the ninth for save No. 30. Brent Rooker’s solo shot highlighted Oakland’s offense, but two A’s mistakes in the seventh proved costly.
