Just because there couldn’t be one good thing about the Mets, Juan Soto was scratched prior to Sunday’s loss with flu-like symptoms.
In another modern miracle, the Mets offense has continued to find ways to be disappointing and lackluster,
even with lowered expectations.
Around the National League East
Left with few answers for the Guardians pitching this weekend, the Phillies dipped back below .500 once again following a 3-1 loss to Parker Messick and Cleveland.
Playing a nice and dry game for the first time in what feels like forever, the Nationals and Forest Griffin handed the Braves a 2-1 loss.
Around Major League Baseball
Things have gone pretty terribly for Toronto since the bottom of the ninth inning started in Game Seven of last year’s World Series and losing Dylan Cease and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to injury in the same inning might make this the second worst day in that span.
Following his retirement and unretirement, former Dodger Chris Taylor has once again announced his retirement from Major League Baseball. Officially this time…probably.
Corbin Carroll hit a pair of triples and continued to paint baseball’s list of leaders and accolades with his name alongside Lou Gehrig.
In what seems to be a bi-yearly tradition at this point, Reid Detmers had a start that made him look like one of the best pitchers in the entire world.
Charlie Moore, the pennant-winning right fielder for the 1982 Brewers team died over the weekend at 72.
It won’t fix anything here in New York, but Pete Alonso isn’t having the most fun time in Baltimore either.
Esmerlyn Valdez hit the first home run of his career into the stands in Toronto and got the ball back after an intense negotiation between the Pirates bullpen and the child who caught the ball.
