Welcome to another episode of Big Dill Sports! I'm Dillon, your host, ready to dish out today's juiciest MLB updates. Buckle up for today's "Daily Double Play," where we spotlight the biggest stories and standout performances from around the diamond.

Let's start with the Milwaukee Brewers, electrifying fans with a 10-game win streak after a rollercoaster victory over the Dodgers. At Miller Park, Isaac Collins stepped up to bat cleanup for the first time and broke a 4–4 tie with a clutch two-run single in the sixth. How about that for a debut in the cleanup role? The Brewers' bullpen, anchored by Trevor Megill, staved off a late rally, securing a statement win. This triumph pulls Milwaukee into a tie atop the NL Central. Brewers fans, the excitement just keeps building.

Next, over in Chicago, the Red Sox put a pin in the Cubs' momentum with a 6-1 win. Rookie sensation Wilyer Abreu delivered late-game heroics, launching a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh and adding a solo shot in the eighth. That’s two homers in back-to-back innings, a sensational way to break open a tightly contested finale.

Meanwhile, the Astros roared back to crush the Mariners 11–3, squashing Seattle's winning streak decisively. Taylor Trammell and Victor Caratini led the offensive explosion, ensuring Houston maintained a firm grip on their division lead. As they eye a midweek matchup with the Brewers, the Astros seem ready for a showdown.

And now to Detroit, where Tarik Skubal fanned 11 in a two-hit masterpiece against the Rangers, propelling the Tigers to become MLB’s first 60-game winners. Skubal’s finesse was unmatched, leaving Texas batters guessing and Detroit fans cheering. A game-winning single from Matt Vierling sealed this one, a game as tight as they come.

In other highlights, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. found his swing again for Toronto, sparking an 8–6 win and sweeping the Giants. His 420-foot bomb set the tone, helping the Blue Jays extend their home win streak to 10 games. Toronto is cruising, folks, and the Yankees are next on their schedule.

Eugenio Suárez put on a power display with two homers, leading the Diamondbacks past the Cardinals 5–3. Arizona’s wild-card hopes remain alive, thanks to Suárez’s timely blasts.

Over to Cleveland, Gavin Williams delivered a masterclass on the mound, matching his career-high with 11 strikeouts in an 8–2 victory over Oakland. David Fry chipped in with four RBIs, and Angel Martínez had a standout night. The Guardians are heating up as the trade deadline looms.

Shifting to roster moves, Philadelphia signed veteran reliever David Robertson to bolster their bullpen. Phillies fans, it looks like they’re gearing up for a strong second half.

Before we wrap up, let's highlight today's "Big Dill" player: Tarik Skubal. To bounce back from the All-Star Game and dominate like he did today? That's what makes him a big dill.

And a quick roundup: Aaron Judge continues smashing records for the Yankees, while San Diego's Nick Pivetta logged his 12th quality start. The White Sox completed a morale-boosting sweep over the Pirates, and there are some notable injury updates for the Astros and Mets.

That's the scoop for today on Big Dill Sports. I'm Dillon, reminding you to keep swinging for the fences. Join me next time for all the plays and players that make this game great. Until then, stay salty and stay tuned!
