Cincinnati Reds star Elly De La Cruz played with a heavy heart on Sunday. That’s what he wanted to do after learning of the death of his sister, Genelis.

The Boston Red Sox becoming sellers at the 2025 trade deadline would be an absolute debacle. After three years of missing the playoffs, the Red Sox put their cards on the table this offseason. The Garrett Crochet trade and the Alex Bregman signing were the two most obvious signs that this Boston team expected to find itself in the postseason.

Michael Busch homered and drove in three runs, helping Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-3.

Shaw made two stellar plays at third base in the Cubs' victory Sunday, his glove continuing to stand out since his return from the minors.

Seiya Suzuki lofted an eighth-inning pitch from Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft high down the right-field line, where Wrigley Field’s brick side wall runs narrowly close to the chalk line. The old ballpark’s unique dimensions created an opening for a much-needed run on Saturday.

Counsell misspoke when calling it a “start” since he used Drew Pomeranz as an opener to try and combat Brown’s recent first-inning struggles, allowing the young righty to avoid the top of the Reds lineup. Brown struck out nine and walked just one with one hit allowed in the outing, looking as dominant as he ever has.

Jonathon Long, who is one of the best hitting prospects in the minors for the Chicago Cubs, had to walk on his college team at Long Beach State.
