Power Rankings & Team Performance

The MLB landscape shifted in Week 9 as power rankings solidified at the top with a top-10 debut and an AL club reaching its highest ranking of the season. Meanwhile, Yordan Alvarez continued his power surge with his second consecutive two-homer night, breaking a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning to propel the Astros to a 4-3 victory over the Rangers. In St. Louis, Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth before the Brewers rallied with three hits and two runs in the frame, securing a 2-1 victory and spoiling what could have been a historic pitching performance.

Individual Performances

Carson Benge found his groove after a grooming change, as the rookie outfielder shaved his mustache and responded with a pair of clutch singles in the Mets' win. Shohei Ohtani, despite hitting a leadoff home run and positioning the Dodgers for a combined no-hitter, lamented flaws in his performance following Wednesday night's game. In Philadelphia, Cristopher Sánchez extended his scoreless innings streak to 44⅔ innings on Wednesday, setting the Phillies franchise record by passing Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander's previous mark from 1911.

Injuries & Roster Moves

The Dodgers suffered significant setbacks on the injury front, placing super-utility man Enrique Hernandez on the injured list Wednesday with a "significant" oblique tear and announcing left fielder Teoscar Hernandez will join him on the IL Friday. The Rangers made a surprising roster move by designating former NL MVP outfielder Andrew McCutchen for assignment Wednesday, ending his tenure with the team after he hit just .192 in 37 games.
