Reds 3, Brewers 2 (10)

Milwaukee’s franchise-record 14-game win streak ended on Austin Hays’ walk-off single down the left-field line, scoring automatic runner TJ Friedl in the 10th. The Reds played it perfectly in extras: Spencer Steer bunted Friedl to third, Milwaukee issued intentional walks to Elly De La Cruz and Will Benson, and Hays delivered. William Contreras had briefly stunned Cincinnati with a two-run homer off Emilio Pagán in the ninth, but an unearned Reds run forced extras and set the stage. Graham Ashcraft worked a scoreless 10th for the win; Grant Anderson took the loss.

Dodgers 5, Padres 4

Los Angeles completed a sweep after Mookie Betts drilled a go-ahead solo shot in the eighth, moments after San Diego erased a 4-0 first-inning deficit. Freddie Freeman’s three-run blast and Andy Pages’ solo homer powered the early cushion; Tyler Glasnow struck out eight over five innings. Alex Vesia retired all five batters he faced to close it out. Luis Arráez had three hits and Ramón Laureano homered for the Padres.

Phillies 11, Nationals 9

Philadelphia survived a furious late push to split the four-gamer. Alec Bohm returned from the IL with three RBIs and two runs, Nick Castellanos homered, and the Phillies’ 6-0 cushion proved just enough after Paul DeJong’s three-run shot in the ninth tightened it. Washington had won three of four coming in but couldn’t quite finish the rally.

Marlins 5, Red Sox 3

Down 3-2 in the ninth, Miami flipped the script at Fenway. Dane Myers led off the inning with a game-tying homer off Greg Weissert, then rookie Jakob Marsee belted a two-run shot off Steven Matz to seal it. Eric Wagaman added a solo homer earlier, while Boston’s Wilyer Abreu launched a two-run blast in defeat.

Rangers 10, Blue Jays 4

Texas left little doubt behind seven strong from Nathan Eovaldi and four long balls. Marcus Semien, Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter hit two-run homers, Corey Seager added a solo shot, and Jonah Heim chipped in three hits and two RBIs. George Springer, Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went deep for Toronto, but José Berríos was tagged for six in 4 1/3.

Orioles 12, Astros 0

Dean Kremer fired seven scoreless (three hits, seven K) and Jordan Westburg drove in a career-high five as Baltimore routed Houston to take the series. Westburg went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer, Jeremiah Jackson scored three times, and Samuel Basallo delivered a two-run single in his MLB debut. Cristian Javier exited after three innings due to illness.

Royals 6, White Sox 2

Kauffman magic continued as Kansas City made it 14 straight home wins over Chicago. Jonathan India’s game-tying two-run homer in the seventh flipped momentum, and Maikel Garcia’s two-out, two-run double punctuated a four-run eighth. Adam Frazier also homered. The Sox stranded 11; Brooks Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a double.

Twins 8, Tigers 1

A six-run third broke it open, highlighted by Brooks Lee’s first-career grand slam. Byron Buxton snapped a mini-slump with a 3-for-5 day and a homer, and Royce Lewis also went deep. Detroit managed three hits total, including Colt Keith’s RBI double.

Braves 5, Guardians 4

Jurickson Profar’s two-run homer in the sixth put Atlanta in front for good to complete the sweep. Profar, Ozzie Albies and Nick Allen all had multi-hit games as the Braves won for the ninth time in 11. Bo Naylor paced Cleveland with a 4-for-5 showing and an RBI; Daniel Schneemann doubled, tripled and drove in two.

Cubs 4, Pirates 3

Dansby Swanson’s sacrifice fly in the eighth stood up as the winner at Wrigley. Ian Happ went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI, while Caleb Thielbar nabbed the win and Andrew Kittredge closed a perfect ninth for his first save. Joey Bart’s two-RBI double had given Pittsburgh a sixth-inning lead; Nick Gonzales and Bryan Reynolds each had two hits.

Yankees 8, Cardinals 4

Paul Goldschmidt returned to Busch and tormented his old club with a 3-for-5 day capped by an RBI double during a four-run, ninth-inning surge of unearned runs. Jasson Domínguez added two hits and an RBI as New York completed the sweep. Yohel Pozo homered and Thomas Saggese doubled and drove in two for St. Louis, which has dropped five straight.

Giants 7, Rays 1

San Francisco snapped a seven-game skid behind Logan Webb’s seven strong frames (three hits, seven K). Dominic Smith’s bases-loaded, three-run single broke it open, and rookies Drew Gilbert and Tyler Fitzgerald went back-to-back. Yandy Díaz produced Tampa Bay’s lone RBI.

Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 5

Colorado surged late, posting four in the seventh capped by Mickey Moniak’s two-run single. Ezequiel Tovar, Ryan Ritter and Warming Bernabel had two hits apiece, and rookie Juan Mejía earned his first MLB save with a leaping snag of Ketel Marte’s popup to end it. Corbin Carroll homered and Jake McCarthy/Alek Thomas each logged three hits for Arizona.

Angels 11, Athletics 5 (10)

Jo Adell carried the Halos with a 3-for-5 night, a homer, a double and four RBIs—including the go-ahead knock in a six-run 10th. Zach Neto homered, Luis Rengifo ripped a two-run triple and Christian Moore drove in three. Kenley Jansen wriggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth for the win. Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers and Lawrence Butler homered for Oakland.

If you’re tracking tight finishes and late comebacks like these, sharpening your approach to moneyline tips and when to take a run line can help. And with contenders rounding into form, it’s a good time to skim the MLB playoff betting keys for what tends to matter most in September—and beyond.
