The Brewers and Yankees punched their tickets to the postseason, while the Wild Card races continued to stay close. Here’s everything you missed from last night’s MLB action.
Milwaukee Brewers 2, Philadelphia Phillies 1
The Brewers had already clinched the division before they even took the field. However, a Jake Bauers walk-off single in the ninth inning officially started the celebration.
Los Angeles Dodgers 8, Miami Marlins 4
Shohei Ohtani got one step closer to his 50-50 season with his 49th stolen base. The Dodgers bounced back after a disappointing loss in game one.

San Francisco Giants 5, Baltimore Orioles 3
The Giants handed the Orioles their third straight loss. The top of the Orioles order went 2-12 as the offense couldn’t do enough against Hayden Birdsong.
Cleveland Guardians 5, Minnesota Twins 4
Both teams went back and forth scoring runs, but in extra innings, the Guardians came up big. Three RBI singles in the bottom of the tenth helped deliver a walk-off win. Brayan Rocchio came through with the final hit to give the Guardians a 5-4 win.
Atlanta Braves 7, Cincinnati Reds 1
The Braves did not gain any ground in the Wild Card race, but they did not lose any either. A ten-hit night powered a Braves win.
Boston Red Sox 2, Tampa Bay Rays 1
Warren Duran delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning to take the lead. The Rays offense couldn’t answer, setting up a rubber match.
New York Mets 10, Washington Nationals 0
The Mets offense scored ten runs for the second consecutive night. Luisangel Acuña went 2-4 at the plate and hit his second career home run.
Detroit Tigers 4, Kansas City Royals 2
The Tigers are now just half a game back of the Twins in the Wild Card race. Quietly, the Royals might now be in danger of losing their spot in the postseason after losing to Detroit for the second straight game.
