New York Mets, 5 — Washington Nationals, 4. New York trailed 4-3 entering the bottom of the ninth and scored twice to win it. The Mets were down before that inning in every frame but the second and sixth, making the finish a genuine walk-off rather than a late pad to a lead they already had.

Miami Marlins, 8 — Cincinnati Reds, 4. Miami trailed 4-3 through seven innings before a four-run eighth put the Marlins ahead for good. Cincinnati's four runs all came in two innings, the third and fifth, and the Reds had nothing left to answer with in the ninth.

St. Louis Cardinals, 8 — Chicago Cubs, 4. Chicago out-hit St. Louis 8-7 and still lost. The Cardinals spread their runs across four different innings — the first, fourth, sixth, and eighth — while the Cubs' offense bunched into two big frames that weren't enough to cover the deficit.

Quick Hits

• Toronto Blue Jays, 4 — New York Yankees, 1. Toronto trailed 1-0 after New York's second-inning run, tied it in the third, then broke it open with a two-run eighth.
• San Francisco Giants, 7 — Colorado Rockies, 1. San Francisco turned a 1-1 tie into a rout with a six-run fourth inning.
• Boston Red Sox, 4 — Pittsburgh Pirates, 0. Boston shut out Pittsburgh, scoring one early and breaking it open with three runs in the ninth.
• Philadelphia Phillies, 9 — Minnesota Twins, 1. A seven-run fifth inning did the damage as Philadelphia piled up 13 hits.
• Seattle Mariners, 10 — Houston Astros, 5. Seattle scored four in the second and tacked on five more across the eighth and ninth, out-hitting Houston 15-8.
• Chicago White Sox, 4 — Detroit Tigers, 3. Chicago out-hit Detroit 12-7 and made a two-run third stand up.
• Cleveland Guardians, 6 — San Diego Padres, 1. Cleveland spread its runs across four innings and held San Diego to a single hit all night.
• Arizona Diamondbacks, 10 — Atlanta Braves, 3. Arizona spread ten runs across four innings, three of them three-run frames, to blow past Atlanta.
• Los Angeles Angels, 1 — Kansas City Royals, 0. The Angels and Royals combined for one run on eight hits, with Los Angeles's only run coming in the eighth.
• Texas Rangers, 5 — Athletics, 3. Oakland's three-run second held up until Texas answered with a three-run sixth and added an insurance run in the ninth.
• Milwaukee Brewers, 4 — Los Angeles Dodgers, 1. Milwaukee's two-run second and two-run fourth were enough to hold off a Dodgers club that managed only a third-inning run.
• Baltimore Orioles, 4 — Tampa Bay Rays, 3.
