MLB Roundup – August 07, 2025

Athletics 6 - 0 Washington Nationals

The Athletics looked as spry as spring chickens while they shut out the Washington Nationals 6-0. The A's pitching staff was on fire, throwing a combined 2-hit game, and the hitters seemed to have a sixth sense about where the ball was going. Fans might start calling Matt Chapman "Midas" as everything he touched turned to gold, smashing two home runs out of the park. The Nationals, on the other hand, looked a bit more like turkeys, struggling to get their bats going and leaving the field with goose eggs on the scoreboard.

Chicago White Sox 3 - 4 Seattle Mariners

In a neck-and-neck battle, the Seattle Mariners narrowly edged out the Chicago White Sox with a final score of 4-3. In a game that could've been a scene from Moby Dick, the Mariners reeled in the victory, with their pitcher striking out ten and their clean-up hitter belting a two-run homer in the 8th. The White Sox put up a good fight, with their leadoff man contributing two RBIs but ultimately, they just couldn't find safe harbor against the Mariners' storm. This win nudges the Mariners a little closer to the coveted playoff berth.

Cincinnati Reds 0 - 7 Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates swashbuckled their way to a resounding 7-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, proving that the Jolly Roger still flies high. Pirates’ pitcher, "Cannonball" Callahan threw a stunning shutout, while slugger "Buccaneer" Barnes belted a pair of home runs to seal the deal. A moment of silence for the Reds' bats, which apparently took a nap throughout the game. With this win, the Pirates are keeping their playoff hopes afloat, while the Reds might need a treasure map to find their way back into contention.

Miami Marlins 6 - 8 Atlanta Braves

In a Southern showdown that seemed to have more swings than a playground, the Atlanta Braves came out on top with an 8-6 victory over the Miami Marlins. The Braves' infielder, known for his flair for dramatic, delivered a crucial 3-run homer while the Marlins' rookie sensation notched another multi-hit game. With this win, the Braves inch closer to securing a playoff berth, leaving the Marlins to, well, swim with the fishes. To the Marlins' credit, they fought till the last inning - proving once again that in baseball, it ain't over till it's over.
