MLB — Monday, July 6

Los Angeles Dodgers, 8 — Colorado Rockies, 7. The marquee finish. Dalton Rushing hit a walk-off single for Los Angeles, delivering a come-from-behind win over Colorado in the late closer. The Rockies had led but couldn't hold it in the final at-bats.

Washington Nationals, 12 — Houston Astros, 11. The wildest game on the Monday board. Washington edged Houston by one run in a high-scoring contest at home, handing the Astros a one-run road loss. Twenty-three combined runs and the home team needed every one of them.

Kansas City Royals, 15 — Philadelphia Phillies, 1. Kansas City romped at home, winning 15-1 over Philadelphia. The Royals built a commanding lead and the Phillies had no answer — one of the more decisive margins of the season.

Milwaukee Brewers, 4 — St. Louis Cardinals, 3. Milwaukee held on for a 4-3 road win in St. Louis. The Cardinals couldn't close the one-run gap, and the Brewers took the series opener.
