Texas Rangers Sweep Brewers, Mariners Edge Cardinals in Extras
Baseball News Tracker
About
The Texas Rangers capped their sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers with a 6-3 win, ending Milwaukee’s impressive streak without being swept since Opening Day. Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio led off the game for the Brewers with back-to-back solo home runs, but despite that hot start, the Rangers’ offense proved too much and sealed the series. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners pulled off a dramatic 4-2 victory in 13 innings over the St. Louis Cardinals thanks to a walk-off two-run homer from Leo Rivas, stretching their winning streak to five and keeping pace in a tightly contested American League West race. The Mariners remain one game behind Houston for the division lead and maintain a narrow edge over the Rangers for the final AL Wild Card spot.
The Houston Astros edged the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2, scoring the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth after the Jays tied the game late. In the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies cemented their commanding position with an 11-3 rout of the New York Mets, extending their lead to 10 games in the NL East. The Mets’ loss means their margin for a wild card berth remains slim as they continue to slump.
Elsewhere, the Arizona Diamondbacks hammered the San Francisco Giants early and never looked back in a crucial face-off that may shape the National League Wild Card chase. On the American League side, the Boston Red Sox continued to shine offensively, with Aroldis Chapman’s stellar relief season drawing attention, even after finally allowing a run and taking the loss last night. The Red Sox are still very much in the playoff conversation as they lean on elite bullpen performances.
Notable player milestones included Bryce Harper blasting his 25th home run of the season, a strong sign the Phillies slugger is peaking at the right moment. Carlos Correa hit his 200th career home run, joining exclusive company among MLB shortstops. In roster news, the Chicago Cubs’ focus remains on getting key pieces back to health before October—particularly right fielder Kyle Tucker (dealing with a calf strain) and closer Daniel Palencia (shoulder). Palencia’s health is drawing close scrutiny as the Cubs will need bullpen stability in the playoff stretch, and Brad Keller has emerged as a critical late-inning option.
Off the field, the Chicago Cubs are preparing for a special ceremony to honor franchise icon Anthony Rizzo, which is expected to draw a massive response from fans over the weekend. No major trades or signings have broken in the last 24 hours, and there are no recent rule change announcements from MLB. However, the minor leagues continue to showcase fresh talent, with playoff pushes intensifying at the Triple-A and Double-A levels, and scouts keeping tabs on intriguing prospects.
Upcoming series to watch include the Mariners against both their division rivals and the powerhouse Astros, as well as the Phillies and Dodgers, whose head-to-heads could have playoff implications. With a handful of games separating teams in both Wild Card races, every matchup is magnified as we barrel toward October.
