After a stretch of near-misses and narrow defeats, the New York Yankees finally broke through with a monster seventh inning Tuesday night, setting the stage for a high-stakes rubber match against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. With their bats coming alive in spectacular fashion, the Yankees aim to ride that momentum into the series finale at Yankee Stadium. Trailing by a run and facing the best bullpen in baseball, the Yankees erupted for 10 runs in the seventh inning Tuesday—matching their biggest inning since 2015. Seven hits, a pair of walks, and clutch swings against San Diego lefties Adrian Morejon and Wandy Peralta turned a close game into a 10-1 rout. Austin Wells was the star of the inning,

The Cincinnati Reds are in desperate need of a turnaround, and they’re turning to their ace, Hunter Greene, to deliver one. As they visit the Atlanta Braves for Game 3 of a four-game set on Wednesday, Greene is tasked with halting a four-game losing streak and keeping the Reds from falling further behind in the standings. The Braves have taken the first two games of the series, winning 4-0 on Monday and walking off with a 2-1 victory in 10 innings on Tuesday.

The team’s hottest hitter exited Tuesday’s 8-4 loss with right hip tightness after an awkward swing, casting doubt on his availability for Wednesday’s rematch at Tropicana Field.

Diaz is slashing 16-for-46 with two home runs and nine RBIs over his last 12 games—one of the few bright spots in a lineup that has been shut out twice during its current 2-5 slide. Tampa Bay has been

After his roughest outing of the year, Sonny Gray is set to take the mound Wednesday afternoon looking to right the ship for himself and continue the St. Louis Cardinals’ hottest stretch of the season. Hosting the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cardinals will go for a three-game sweep and their fifth straight win. Sonny Gray (3-1, 4.12 ERA) endured his first loss of the season last Friday against the New York Mets, surrendering a season-high nine hits, including a two-run homer, and issuing three walks over just 4 1/3 innings. Despite fanning six, Gray admitted to overthinking his pitch selection in key moments. Prior to his last two starts, Gray had been sharp, boasting 29 strikeouts and just four walks
