There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves.
That’s why we’re here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days’ games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn’t have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball:
Yo Dodgers, get Yoshinobu Yamamoto some run support
The Los Angeles Dodgers have had some tough pitching luck this season. As soon as they got Clayton Kershaw back, they had to send another starter, Roki Sasaki, to the injured list. (Their IL is exclusively made up of pitchers right now.)
And while Kershaw was shaky in his 2025 debut, the Dodgers at least have Yamamoto. The Japanese right-hander has the second-best ERA in the NL (1.86) and was dealing again Tuesday night as he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Although he gave up a single to Ketel Marte in the seventh, Yamamoto finished his outing with nine strikeouts, one hit allowed and zero runs surrendered.

He was also in line for the win, except, well L.A. had given him just one run of support at that point. In his 10 starts this season, the Dodgers have scored a measly 14 runs when Yamamoto is in the game.
Unsurprisingly, the Diamondbacks were able to get one whole run on the board after Yamamoto exited, sending the game into extra innings.
Fortunately for the Dodgers, their offense woke up in the 10th inning and scored three runs, including Max Muncy’s sacrifice fly that brought Shohei Ohtani to home plate for the game-winner. That ended the Dodgers’ four-game skid.
But here’s a suggestion for Yamamoto’s sake: Maybe try scoring those runs while he’s still in the game!
Poor doggo
All this sweet dog wanted to do was watch his favorite team, the Minnesota Twins and their barking dawgs in the bullpen. Instead, another rainy day in Minneapolis washed out the game for a second day in a row, leaving our dog friend to make his very own Sarah McLachlan commercial.
Anyone have any tissues?
Well well well if it isn’t the Boone brothers
Aaron Boone has been managing the Yankees for eight years now, but his older brother Bret Boone had been out of the game for a while, as it were. He’s back now, however, as the hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, and the two faced off for the first time since they were both still in their playing days. Well, faced off as much as coaches can, anyway.
Aaron got the win in this first meeting, with the Yankees defeating the Rangers 5-2. Maybe Bret can take this experience to convince the Rangers that the secret to more offense is a 314-foot wall out in right field. Hey, it works for Aaron Judge, doesn’t it?
Kidding, kidding. Aaron Judge regularly hits balls that would be homers in national parks, never mind baseball’s version. Baseball parks should have more unique eccentricities, anyway, not fewer, so bring in those walls. Or push them way back. Or turn them into weird shapes and heights. Just do something that opposing fans will routinely get annoyed about, and you’re on the right track.
The Cubs can’t stop scoring
Maybe the reason that the White Sox can’t score a ton of runs is because the crosstown Cubs are using up the city’s entire supply. On Tuesday, the North Siders scored 8 runs in an inning against the Marlins, giving them both a 14-1 victory and their 10th game of the young season with 10 or more runs. This defeat also snapped the Marlins’ four-game win streak, which had pushed them off of their 100-loss pace. At 19-28, they’re aiming for 97 losses at the moment, but there’s a whole lot of season left. Whether that sentence sounds optimistic or threatening likely depends on your familiarity with the Marlins.
As for the Cubs’ big inning, they broke things open in the sixth against Calvin Faucher by batting around and then some. Dansby Swanson singled to center to score Seiya Suzuki, giving the Cubs a 2-1 lead, which was all Chicago ended up needing. That’s when the pile-on began. Pete Crow-Armstrong singled to drive in Kyle Tucker. Nico Hoerner then sent both Carson Kelly and Swanson home with his own single, and the Marlins got Faucher out of there, putting in Lake Bachar, but that pitching change barely slowed the Cubs.
Justin Turner scored Crow-Armstrong with a sacrifice fly. Matt Shaw doubled and scored Hoerner. Seiya Suzuki, who led off the inning with a walk and had already scored once, would go deep to put the Cubs up 9-1. Tucker would follow with another hit, but Kelly would strike out swinging to end the threat.
Listen, when Jack Reacher himself is a fan of the team, what are you supposed to do besides go big?

Fantasy football waiver wire pickups: NFL Week 8
Another week of the 2025 NFL season is just about in the books. Here are the players you should be targeting in your fantasy football leagues, including options for smaller leagues and deeper leagues, as well as players to avoid. Jump to a position group: QB | RB | WR | TE QUARTERBACK Jaxson Dart, New York Giants (Rostered in 43.3% of leagues on ESPN) League Size: 10 Time Frame: Week 8, Short Term, Long Term Dart has started the past four games for the Giants, averaging 23.0 fantasy points per game during that stretch (fourth best among quarterbacks).

4 Takeaways From the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 6 Win Over the Mariners
While the National League Championship Series was decided with the minimum, the AL counterpart will go the maximum. With a chance to reach the World Series for the first time in their franchise’s history Sunday night in Toronto, the Mariners were stifled in Game 6 of the ALCS by a 22-year-old rookie starter who had other ideas in a 6-2 Blue Jays win, setting up a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night. Here are my takeaways: 1. With the season on the line, Jays’ rookie wins the battle The last time Trey Yesavage and Logan Gilbert faced off in Game 2, neither left with an impressive line. Yesavage was unable to baffle Blue Jays hitters with his splitter the way he did against the Yankees in the American League Division Series, while Gilbert looked rusty coming off just two days of rest after being […]
Dak Prescott Is Playing Like an MVP, and the Cowboys Defense Finally Did Its Part
ARLINGTON, Texas - What if your quarterback has an MVP-caliber season, but your defense is so bad you can't even make the playoffs? Call it the Joe Burrow effect.It was one thing when the Cowboys scored 40 and managed only a tie against the Packers, another when they scored 27 and still lost to the Panthers.So, this past week, in defensive meetings, the message was clear and urgent for Dallas players: Don't let an amazing season by Dak Prescott get buried in high-scoring losses."We talk about it all the time: When you've got an offense like this, that's a championship offense, and we don't want to let that go to waste," defensive tackle Kenny Clark said. "I'm just being real. We have to keep improving and keep stepping up, because they're balling. They're putting up points, and you saw today, […]
