The Chicago White Sox lost their 121st game. Here’s everything you missed from last night’s MLB action.
Detroit Tigers 4, Chicago White Sox 1 – As the Tigers clinched a postseason spot for the first time in 10 years, the White Sox lost their record-breaking 121st game, passing the 1962 New York Mets for the worst record in modern history. The Tigers have won their last six and are 9-1 in their last 10.
Chicago Cubs 1, Cincinnati Reds 0 – Behind a quality start from Jameson Taillon, the Cubs shut out the Reds. Taillon went seven innings with two strikeouts, allowing just four hits.
Washington Nationals 9, Philadelphia Phillies 1 – While the Phillies have secured a bye through the Wild Card Series, they are still fighting for home-field advantage through the postseason. However, a Dodgers win paired with this loss makes it tougher with just two games left.
Pittsburgh Pirates 4, New York Yankees 2 – The Yankees scored both runs off of a bases-loaded single by Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. However, Bryan Reynolds’ two home run game was enough to push the Pirates ahead.
Miami Marlins 15, Toronto Blue Jays 5 – The top of the Marlins order went 10-18 with seven RBIs. Xavier Edwards had four RBIs on four hits.
Houston Astros 5, Cleveland Guardians 2 – The Astros held the Guardians to just three hits in the game. Two of those hits and both Cleveland runs came off of Josh Hader in the ninth inning.
Tampa Bay Rays 2, Boston Red Sox 1 – All of the scoring in the game came in the seventh inning. Christopher Morel drew a bases-loaded walk to give the Rays a 2-0 lead. The Red Sox could only respond with one run on a sacrifice fly from Nick Sogard.
Atlanta Braves 3, Kansas City Royals 0 – After two days off, the Braves have tied up the National League Wild Card race. The Braves, New York Mets, and Arizona Diamondbacks are all tied for the last two spots in the postseason. The Braves and Mets will play a doubleheader on Monday, September 30.
Los Angeles Dodgers 11, Colorado Rockies 4 – The Dodgers inched closer to home-field advantage through the NL postseason. Shohei Ohtani stole his 57th base and hit his 55th home run. He passed Ichiro Suzuki for the most stolen bases in a season by a Japanese player.
Baltimore Orioles 7, Minnesota Twins 2 – The Twins’ historic collapse is complete. They are officially out of the postseason race. They had just four hits in a game where their season was on the line.
Milwaukee Brewers 8, New York Mets 4 – Rhys Hoskins continued his torture of the Mets with a first inning grand slam. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Ramon de Jesus in the fourth. The Mets doubleheader on September 30 could decide their fate.
Texas Rangers 5, Los Angeles Angels 2 – Jacob deGrom struck out five in his four innings of work. Wyatt Langford hit his 15th home run of the season.
San Diego Padres 5, Arizona Diamondbacks 2 – The Padres can start thinking about resting arms and giving days off to position players. They have secured the top NL Wild Card spot. Their final two games are against the Diamondbacks, who are fighting for a spot in the postseason.
Seattle Mariners 2, Oakland Athletics 0 – Bryan Woo struck out eight in his five innings of work. The Mariners bullpen allowed two hits in four innings of work behind him.
St. Louis Cardinals 6, San Francisco Giants 3 – Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 at the plate. Lars Nootbar started off the scoring for St. Louis with a two-run home run in the third inning.
