Seattle Mariners 3 - 5 
Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles swooped in for a 5-3 victory against the Seattle Mariners last night, proving the early bird gets the worm (or in this case, the win!). Key player, Chris Davis, hit a pivotal two-run homer in the 7th inning, further solidifying the Orioles' lead. Despite their spirited defense, the Mariners' sails fell flat, dropping them further in the playoff race. In this bird vs. fish showdown, it seems feathers triumphed over fins.
Chicago Cubs 1 - 2 
Toronto Blue Jays
In a tight and tense game, the Toronto Blue Jays just barely edged out the Chicago Cubs with a 2-1 victory. The Blue Jays' impenetrable defense was the star of the night, with their pitchers only allowing a single run to cross the plate. Despite Cubs' hitter Anthony Rizzo's best efforts, his solo home run wasn't enough to overcome the Jays. Looks like the Blue Jays flew higher today, making the playoff race that much more interesting!
Miami Marlins 4 - 9 
Cleveland Guardians
The Cleveland Guardians showed the Miami Marlins who's boss in a 9-4 victory, turning the diamond into their personal playground. Guardians' shortstop was the star of the show, making ripples with a grand slam, while their pitcher tamed the Marlins with nine strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Marlins' offense seemed to be on vacation, managing only a few sporadic hits. With this win, the Guardians inch closer to a playoff spot, while the Marlins may be starting to feel the heat.
