The Mets stacked early offense with three solo homers, led by Alonso’s milestone, as he tied the club’s all‑time mark with his franchise-record-tying 252nd homer. Soto kept his hot run going with his 28th of the season, part of a breakout stretch that included three straight games with a homer. Yet Milwaukee answered late. Frelick’s seventh-inning RBI groundout tied the game, then Collins knocked one off Mauricio’s glove to push the go-ahead run across, and Contreras finished it with a two‑run blast off Helsley for a 7‑4 win. The Mets’ six-game skid persists as the Brewers continue to pace the league. Montas worked three innings in a bullpen‑type outing, allowing three runs, one earned, before the late surge ended New York’s comeback hopes.

The 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby promises to be an exciting event, showcasing some of the MLB's most powerful hitters. Leading the pack is Oneil Cruz from the Pittsburgh Pirates, with odds set at +340 despite a batting average of just .204. Meanwhile, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who currently leads the league with 36 homers this season, is close behind at +375. Hometown favorite Ronald Acuña Jr. follows at +425, and Washington Nationals' James Wood rounds out the top contenders at +550.

With the longest home run this season hit by Byron Buxton at 479 feet, he holds odds of +800 but has attracted the fewest bets due to a recent injury. James Wood, on the other hand, is generating significant interest, accounting for 18% of all wagers and 34.4% of total dollars wagered, marking him as a key player to watch. The event is set to take place in Atlanta, heightening the competitive spirit among these hitters.

The Philadelphia Phillies secured a thrilling 9-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics, thanks to a stellar performance from Kyle Schwarber, who drove in crucial runs during the 11th inning and tied Aaron Judge for the MLB home run lead with 18 homers this season. His double off Mitch Spence propelled the Phillies ahead, capping a comeback that showcased their resilience throughout the game. The win marks the Phillies' ninth consecutive victory and boosts their record to an impressive 34-18, leading the league.

The Athletics had initially taken a narrow lead thanks to contributions from Tyler Soderstrom and Brent Rooker, but the Phillies demonstrated their offensive prowess, with Nick Castellanos adding an insurance run. With this win, the Phillies are two games clear of the Los Angeles Dodgers and maintain a solid lead in the NL East.
