The Detroit Tigers showcased their offensive firepower in a dominant 10-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox, fueled by Kerry Carpenter's historic performance. Carpenter smashed three home runs, marking the first three-homer game for the Tigers since Victor Martinez in June 2016, and contributed five RBIs. His success came as Parker Meadows made his return to the lineup, recording two hits. Pitcher Jack Flaherty delivered a solid outing, allowing only one run over six innings while striking out four. The Tigers' bats were relentless, helping them pull further away in the AL Central.

Cody Bradford, the Texas Rangers' promising left-handed pitcher, has taken a significant step in his recovery from an elbow strain. After a prolonged rehab, he successfully threw curveballs and sliders during a bullpen session without experiencing pain. This crucial test demonstrated that his elbow has responded well to the increased intensity and gives hope that his UCL has healed without the need for surgery. Bradford aims to throw live batting practice during an upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins, depending on his progress.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy shared positive updates on Bradford and fellow pitcher Josh Sborz, who is also nearing a return following shoulder surgery. Bochy emphasized the importance of Bradford's health and his potential impact on the Rangers' pitching rotation, which needs to be solidified as they navigate the season.

Lance McCullers Jr. (0-1, 6.57) is set for his fourth start since returning from an arm injury, taking the mound for the Houston Astros as they face off against the Oakland Athletics.

This matchup at Daikin Park is scheduled for 1:10 PM on Wednesday, and fans can catch the action on the Space City Home Network or listen in on 790 AM and 93.3 FM.

Before the game, there are two notable storylines for the Astros.

Secondly, Jake Meyers' enhanced plate discipline this season is becoming increasingly beneficial for the team's lineup.

The rivalry between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox heated up this week as drama unfolded in their recent series. Walker Buehler's ejection highlighted the tension, while Alex Cora's outburst over a dugout phone only added to the spectacle. Meanwhile, Juan Soto found himself in a slump, raising concerns about his performance. As the season approaches its one-third mark, discussions pivot to potential MVP candidates, with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani considered frontrunners. However, new challengers are emerging that could shake up the standings. In the latest segment, 'The Good, The Bad & The Uggla,' Rich Hill's performance and the prospect of baseball's return to NBC were discussed.

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to thrive under the capable voice of Joe Davis, who recently clinched the Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Personality and Play-by-Play. Having taken over from the legendary Vin Scully after his retirement in 2016, Davis has seamlessly transitioned into a leading role, becoming the lead play-by-play announcer for FOX Sports and maintaining his passion for the game.

In the past season, Davis had the honor of calling the Dodgers' World Series victory against the New York Yankees, solidifying his place in baseball history. His passion and dedication to the Dodgers have been evident, even as he balances this with his commitments to NFL broadcasts. This year, he has also welcomed Stephen Nelson to join Orel Hershiser in calling the Dodgers' games, ensuring that the team’s legacy continues to be narrated with excellence.
