The slumping New York Yankees were shut out in consecutive games for the first time since 2016, losing to Ryan Yarbrough and the Tampa Bay Rays 4-0.

Drew Rasmussen took a perfect game into the ninth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays expanded their lead over Baltimore for the final AL wild card to 1 1/2 games with a 4-1 victory over the Orioles.

Luis Castillo traded to SeattleAfter missing all of April (which is typically his worst month of the season), Castillo was good in May (3.38 ERA), slightly better in June (3.26 ERA) and terrific in July (1.93 ERA). Castillo’s splits have fantasy managers dreaming of how well he could fare now that he pitches for a team with an offense-suppressing venue. Castillo should be valued as a top-20 starter for the remainder of the season. The biggest fantasy loser of the Castillo trade is likely rookie righty, George Kirby. His IL stay is expected to be a short one, which is welcome news for fantasy managers and Mariners fans.

Minnesota’s Luis Arraez, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa became the seventh trio of teammates to open a game with three straight home runs, starting a barrage of five long balls in 2 1/3 innings against New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.

Hunter Greene allowed a bunt single to begin the game and then faced the minimum through seven innings, retiring his final 20 batters as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 in a rain-shortened game.

Rojas led off the ninth with a chance to tie the big league record of four home runs in a game, but struck out looking. Jenkins, in fact, led the National League in home runs allowed during five of his 10 seasons with Chicago. Rojas and Peralta tagged Kyle Hendricks (2-4) with Arizona’s first four homers as the Cubs ace righty yielded a season-high seven runs and eight hits in five innings. Rojas and Peralta hit solo drives off Hendricks in the third to put Arizona ahead 4-2.

Josh Rojas launched his first three longballs of the season and the Arizona Diamondbacks powered past the Chicago Cubs 10-6 in a game of home run derby at Wrigley Field.

Walker Buehler tossed a three-hitter for his first career shutout, Will Smith launched a solo homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0.

Sergio Alcantara snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, Ketel Marte added an RBI double and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Mets 3-2.

He has four homers in his first 19 spring at-bats in Cactus League play. He's off to a good start in the Grapefruit League with a .412 average and four homers. The 23-year-old has a legit chance to earn a spot on Philadelphia's opening day roster, especially after three homers in his first 20 spring at-bats. He's already in midseason form in Grapefruit League play, striking out 12 batters in his first 11 innings while giving up just three earned runs. He looks ready for another big year after giving up just one hit over his first seven innings in the Grapefruit League.

Francisco Lindor wasn’t the franchise-altering shortstop the New York Mets were hoping for last season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have clinched a postseason berth by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 for their fifth straight win.
