Cubs Make History

The Chicago Cubs set a franchise record Tuesday by scoring their 30th unanswered run over a three-game span, surpassing the previous club mark of 29 set in 1969. The offensive surge has propelled Chicago to a dominant stretch as they chase a wild-card spot.

Brewers Discipline Rookie

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy benched rookie Cooper Pratt Tuesday night after the infielder failed to hustle out of the box on a popup, replacing him with a pinch runner. "You've got to be locked in if you're going to play here," Murphy said, making clear the organization's standard for effort.

Awards Race Heating Up

With the stretch run approaching, the MVP and Cy Young races are tightening across both leagues. The National League picture has shifted notably in recent weeks, with several pitchers and position players making late surges to enter the conversation.

Astros Stand Pat

Astros owner Jim Crane confirmed Joe Espada will finish the season as manager, one day after the club parted ways with general manager Dana Brown. Crane addressed the front-office shakeup directly, signaling stability in the dugout despite the organizational changes.

Injury Updates

The Giants suffered another pitching blow as left-hander Carson Whisenhunt tore his UCL and is likely headed for surgery, further depleting an already injury-ravaged staff. Meanwhile, the White Sox placed reliever Huascar Brazoban on the 15-day IL and recalled right-hander Jonathan Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte.

Padres Coach Released

A San Diego Padres minor league coordinator who was detained by federal immigration officers in Texas has been released on bond, the organization confirmed Tuesday.
