ACT 1: THE BIG STORIES (0:56-3:29)

Not that long after they were 11 games below .500, the Mets suddenly find themselves one game out of the NL Wild Card race after a 14-2 rout of the Rangers for their sixth straight victory. Also, Pirates rookie Paul Skenes continued his dominance as he improved to 4-0 after striking out seven over six innings, and Tyler O'Neill homered twice as the Red Sox slugged four home runs in Toronto.

ACT 2: WHIPAROUND (3:30-5:00)

Elsewhere around the league, the Dodgers didn't miss a beat in their first game since losing Mookie Betts to a fractured hand. Miguel Rojas took his spot on the roster and promptly collected three hits in a 9-5 win over the Rockies. Ozzie Albies also hit a clutch home run for the Braves, and the Cardinals and Giants each won behind their own late-inning drama.

ACT 3: LOOKING AHEAD (5:02-6:36)

Will this be the year for the Guardians or Mariners to end their lengthy World Series droughts? They are in first place so far with commanding leads in their divisions, and they meet tonight in Cleveland.

ACT 1: THE BIG STORIES (0:56-5:38)

The Dodgers will be without two of their stars for a while as Mookie Betts suffered a fractured hand on a hit-by-pitch and Yoshinobu Yamamoto is dealing with a strained rotator cuff. A bright spot in their win over the Royals? Shohei Ohtani went deep twice. Also, the Red Sox swiped a club-record nine bases against the Yankees, and Reds speedster Elly De La Cruz scored all the way from second on an errant pickoff throw.

ACT 2: WHIPAROUND (5:40-8:23)

Elsewhere around the league, Gunnar Henderson hit his Majors-best eighth leadoff homer of the season for the Orioles, Ronel Blanco, who has the lone no-hitter so far this season, tossed seven no-hit innings for the Astros before being pulled after 94 pitches vs. the Tigers, and rookie Pedro Pagés (with his dad in the stands on Father’s Day) homered to push the Cards past the Cubs.

ACT 3: LOOKING AHEAD (8:24-9:46)

Today’s must-see game is a big one. Pirates phenom Paul Skenes – sporting his 102 mph fastball and unique splinker – makes the seventh start of his young career as the Bucs battle the Reds in Pittsburgh.
