Jacob deGrom said his goal is to win with the #Rangers and still believes they can win this season, and he told that to management. Said he initially asked for the no-trade clause because this is where he wanted to be and wanted to win.

Jacob deGrom: “I want to win here. I signed to win here. We can win.”

The San Diego Padres are finalizing a trade to acquire left-hander Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants, sources tell ESPN.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

BREAKING: The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring catcher Liam Hicks in a trade with the Miami Marlins, sources tell ESPN.

[John Gambadoro @Gambo987]

Have to wonder if this is the end of the line for Zac Gallen. Not sure how many more time you can run him out there every fifth day. He gets saved by the injuries to Burnes and now Nelson but this is getting harder and harder to watch.

[jeremy taché @jeremytache]

The Miami Marlins are the only team in baseball to hand losses to JACOB MISIORWOSKI and SHOHEI OHTANI and PAUL SKENES.

[Jared Sandler @JaredSandler]

The Rangers have 56 GIDPs this year, T-2nd most in MLB and most in the AL.

[The Triple Play Podcast @thetripleplay18]

Definitely intentional..

[Goldschmidt Happened @GoldyHappens]

This is targeting & suspension in college football. Max Muncy leaves his feet to hit Ildemaro Vargas high and injure him😂 All time dirty play, media will ignore it bc Dodgers bias. Like @DamonDawg said, baseball gods weren’t gonna let LA win after that

[Baseball Is Dead @baseballisdead_]

17 years ago, Randy Johnson became the very last pitcher to cross the 300 win threshold with 6 innings of 1-run ball (0 ER) against the Nationals.

Hard to imagine another pitcher ever doing it. Johnson accomplished the feat at 45.

[Arizona Diamondbacks @Dbacks]

NOLAN ARENADO GRAND SLAM!!!!

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

Incredibly, this weekend marks the first time in 18 years, dating back to June 27–29, 2008 at Wrigley Field, that the Chicago Cubs (28-16) and Chicago White Sox (22-21) will be playing one another in a non-Covid year with each team having winning records.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

Don Mattingly wins his 900th career game as manager, and is now 11-3 since taking over as manager of the Phillies.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

The New York Mets lose 5-1.
Juan Soto and Bo Bichette go 0-for-20 with three walks in the 3-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Mets produced just nine hits and 3 runs in 22 innings against the D-backs three starters.
The Mets are 15-25.

[Jared Sandler @JaredSandler]

The long-standing tradition of the Yankees grounds crew doing its job after the 6th and dancing to YMCA is one of the cooler in-stadium traditions. Shows some fun personality for our sport in between innings.

[Gordo @BOSSportsGordo]

AJ Hinch isn’t happy with Framber:

"We play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn't feel like it. I'm not judging intent. But I know when you go out on the field in those confrontations, you usually feel like you are in your right. It didn't feel good being out there."

[Foul Territory @FoulTerritoryTV]

Framber Valdez hit Trevor Story after giving up back-to-back homers, causing the benches to clear.

Valdez was ejected.

The Phillies lose their 10th-consecutive game, their longest streak since 1999.

[MLB @MLB]

EVAN CARTER INSIDE-THE-PARK HOMER!

[Jayson Stark @jaysonst]

.353/.417/..657/1.074

Joe DiMaggio the year he hit in 56 games in a row:
.357/.440/.643/1.083

[The Triple Play Podcast @thetripleplay18]

We all had this right? Phillies and the Mets having slow starts?

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The longest losing streak in baseball now belongs to the Philadelphia Phillies, who dropped their eighth straight and are tied with the Mets for the worst record in the National League at 8-16. At -50, the Phillies also have the worst run differential in baseball by 15 runs.
