The Padres showed they’re going for it in the NL West by trading with the Athletics for closer Mason Miller and starter JP Sears. The Padres also acquired first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano from the Orioles in exchange for six players.

The Colorado Rockies made their first sizable move ahead of the MLB trade deadline last week. Homegrown star Ryan McMahon was traded to the New York Yankees in exchange for two pitching prospects: left-hander Griffin Herring and right-hander Josh Grosz.

Time after time Wednesday night, the Yankees avoided defeat. They were shut out by the Tampa Bay Rays for seven innings, only to rally in the eighth. They overcame a blown save by Devin Williams, a baserunning blunder by Austin Wells and deficits in the ninth and 10th innings.
