Dodgers End Slide, But Snell Returns

After a stunning collapse that saw them lose their season-high seventh straight game on a walk-off homer by Diamondbacks rookie Ryan Waldschmidt, the Dodgers finally snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory in 10 innings at Chase Field. Left-hander Blake Snell is expected to return from the injured list Tuesday against the Royals, adding a major boost to the rotation.

Pitching Milestones and Comebacks

Blue Jays ace Max Scherzer moved into 10th place all time with 3,516 strikeouts after fanning four against the Phillies. Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom struck out nine in five innings of a 5-1 win over Baltimore, his first start since telling the club he did not want to be traded. Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe was “electrifying” in his first big league outing in 14 months after Tommy John surgery, leading Detroit to an 8-0 shutout of the Giants. Phillies lefty Cristopher Sanchez became the majors’ first 15-game winner with a 7-3 victory over Washington.

Red Sox Streak Snapped and Extended

Boston’s bid for a second winning streak of 10 or more games this season ended with a 7-3 loss to the Athletics, as the Red Sox failed in their attempt to extend a nine-game run. Just days earlier, Payton Tolle struck out a career-high 14 in six innings to fuel a rout of the A’s. In a wild 13-inning marathon, Caleb Durbin lined a go-ahead single to cap a 12-11 comeback over the White Sox, extending the winning streak to eight games at the time.

Brewers Dealing with Depth Issues

The NL Central–leading Brewers placed shortstop Cooper Pratt on the IL with a strained right hamstring, testing their infield depth. The club also designated reliever Bryse Wilson for assignment and called up Lyon Richardson from Triple‑A.

White Sox News: Retirements, Prospects, and Moves
