It’s not that the Dodgers have been outright struggling of late, however they’ve hit a little bit of a tough patch, for them. They had been 7-9 of their earlier 16 video games, relationship again to the Angels sweeping them throughout rivalry weekend, so a walk-off win towards the highest group within the NL as of this second is a boon. Particularly after a failed comeback the night time earlier than towards the identical group.
The Rockies gained a collection!
The Rockies have confronted the Marlins twice this week, and gained each instances. That is proper: not solely did they handle to win two video games in a row for simply the second time this season, however on this event they had been even towards the identical group. That gave Colorado their first series win of 2025, snapping a 22-series-long dropping streak that dated again to September 18 of 2024, once they took two of three from the Diamondbacks.
Now, to not be a downer, however now we have to do some contextualization right here. The Rockies have gained two in a row towards a group that’s now on tempo for 99 losses due to that. The Rockies themselves are nonetheless on tempo for 133 defeats, which might crush the new record set in 2024 by the White Sox by a dozen defeats. If the Rockies by some means gained half of their remaining video games in 2025, they’d nonetheless lose 100 for the season. They’ve dug themselves a really deep gap, and it is virtually inconceivable to climb out of it in-season.
Nonetheless, although, you’ll be able to solely take issues one recreation at a time, because the cliché goes, and avoiding digging any additional down has its deserves.

It might need been the debut of extremely touted prospect Jac Caglianone’s, however Bobby Witt Jr. stole the headlines.

Caglianone, by the best way, began at DH and went 0-for-5, so he is nonetheless looking out for his first big-league hit. However at the very least these first-game jitters had been dealt with in a win.
Marte and Carroll go Bash Bros. on the Braves
The No. 1 and No. 2 hitters within the Arizona Diamondbacks‘ lineup mixed for seven of the group’s eight RBIs of their 8-3 win on Tuesday, they usually did it with multi-home run nights. Second baseman Ketel Marte received issues going with a solo shot in first inning. He adopted that up with one other dinger within the third inning that scored Carroll.
With the Diamondbacks main the Braves 4-3 within the fifth inning, Carroll prolonged their benefit with a solo shot. Then, within the ninth inning, he padded their lead with a towering three-run shot into right-center area.
A game-saving catch
The Brewers have been thriving of late, successful eight in a row in a stretch that features back-to-back walk-off dubs. The Reds introduced them again to Earth for at the very least one night time, nevertheless, turning a would-be heroic second for Milwaukee into simply one other out… and a loss.
TJ Friedl robbed a possible game-tying house run to avoid wasting a win for the Cincinnati Reds. With the rating sitting at 4-2, with two outs within the prime of the ninth inning and Caleb Durbin on base for Milwaukee, Jake Bauers hit a ball off of Reds’ nearer Emilio Pagán deep to middle area.
