Last Night in Sports: July 28, 2026

Fifteen games on the Tuesday card, and the Cubs went to Busch Stadium and put 10 on the Cardinals. Detroit topped that margin entirely with a 14-0 shutout of Baltimore. On the other end, Marlins-Phillies was 1-0 final. Three shutouts, a split doubleheader in Cincinnati, and Seattle stealing one at Dodger Stadium in the late closer.
