Jordan Romano (P - PHI)
7/9/25 2:56 AM -
Giants catcher Bailey makes history with game-ending, inside-the-park home run. Patrick Bailey’s entrance into the Major League Baseball record books began with a tight swing that sent a fastball from Phillies reliever Jordan Romano into Triples Alley. It ended with Bailey chugging his way around third base then getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit a game-ending, inside-the-park home run. It was also the first time in nearly nine years that a player has hit a walk-off, inside-the-park home run in the majors. Cleveland’s Tyler Naquin was the last to do so on Aug. 19, 2016.

Juan Soto (OF - NYM)
7/9/25 2:52 AM -
Despite Juan Soto's snub for NL squad, the Mets insist 'he's an All-Star for us'. The New York Mets consider Juan Soto to be a bona fide All-Star, regardless of the snub he received from those who selected the NL squad for the Midsummer Classic on July 15. Soto, in his first year with the Mets, has performed well enough to earn the respect of his manager and teammates. In their opinion, he’s deserving of a place in the All-Star Game. Manager Carlos Mendoza says, "He’s an All-Star for us.” Soto drove in the winning run with a sharp single on the first pitch of the 10th inning. That capped a night in which he went 3 for 5 to raise his batting average to .269 with 21 homers and 52 RBIs.

Jackson Holliday crushes big homer vs. Mets before Orioles implode. The 2024 Detroit Tigers give hope to all seemingly moribund ballclubs, but the Baltimore Orioles (40-50) are heading closer towards a colossally disappointing season. Jackson Holliday has yet to meet the lofty expectations that come with being a former No. 1 overall pick, but he is starting to find his MLB bearing in his age-21 season. Holliday recorded an RBI single to put the O's on the scoreboard in the third inning and later helped them build a 6-2 lead in the seventh after smashing a 406-foot solo home run. A comfortable advantage evaporated in Camden Yards, as Bryan Baker surrendered four runs on four hits.

Brayan Bello goes the distance as Red Sox erupt for 10 runs — including six in the seventh inning — in a rout of the Rockies. “I tried not to show too much emotion in the ninth inning so I was able to complete it,” Bello said through an interpreter. Hunter Goodman's two-run home run spoiled the shutout bid, but Bello came away with a satisfying consolation prize, the first nine-inning complete game of his career. Bello struck out a season-high 10. As reliever Isaiah Campbell warmed up in the bullpen — Bello pushing his pitch count to 107 — Cora was taking a batter-to-batter approach, hoping Bello would be able to end it but operating with a backup plan.

The performance of the rotation stood out to Mariners color analyst and former MLB pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith, especially that of right-hander George Kirby.

Giants GM had trade talks with Red Sox while at his grandmother's funeral (report). Zack Minasian really wanted international bonus pool space. The San Francisco Giants general manager told ESPN that he was still working the phones at his grandmother's funeral trying to acquire more money, and ultimately found a trading partner in Boston. Minasian was able to land that $500,000 in two separate deals, one of which involved the Red Sox. San Francisco traded catcher Blake Sabol to Boston for $250,000, and landed another $250,000 from Miami for reliever Will Kempner.

Colorado took Dollander with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft in hopes that he would become their Ace of the future, and the rookie made his big league debut back at the start of April. The Rockies promoted the righty in hopes that he would add some stability to a shaky at best rotation, but it's become very apparent that he isn't quite ready for The Show just yet.

Predicting Nationals' next big trade before deadline. As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Washington Nationals once again find themselves in a familiar role: sellers looking to extract value from their veteran assets. Despite flashes of promise from young stars and a brief surge in early summer, the Nationals are well out of the playoff race and have signaled a clear intention to continue their rebuild. The Nationals' 2025 campaign has been defined by inconsistency and underperformance. The emergence of young talents like James Wood and Dylan Crews has offered hope for the future, but the supporting cast has not kept pace, leaving the Nationals little choice but to focus on maximizing the value of their trade chips.

Astros Legendary Superstar Heating Up at Exactly Right Time. The Houston Astros are on absolute fire, winning 11 of their last 13 coming off a sweep over the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers this past weekend. The Astros entered the new week with a seven-game lead in the division over the Seattle Mariners as they continued to creep up on the best record in the American League, but a loss in their series opener against the Cleveland Guardians halted that momentum temporarily. For a team that was cast aside before the season with the thought being their dominant run was over, Houston is certainly looking the part of a group that can win the pennant once again. It was no small coincidence that as the Astros struggled, their face of the franchise in Jose Altuve was in the midst of one of the worst seasons of his stellar career.

Seth Lugo (P - KC)
7/8/25 12:26 AM -
Mitch Keller, Seth Lugo go toe to toe for struggling Pirates, Royals. With their respective teams sitting below .500, Kansas City's Seth Lugo and Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller appear to be enticing options for a postseason contender as the trade deadline looms. In the meantime, each hurler looks to continue his own run of success when Lugo and the Royals try to hand Keller's Pirates a fifth straight defeat Tuesday night. With Monday's 9-3 victory in the series opener, Kansas City won for just the fifth time in its last 24 home games. The Pirates, last in the NL Central, snapped a 30-inning scoreless streak with Tommy Pham's two-run, third-inning homer Monday, but they're 0-4 to start a nine-game road stretch.
