Welcome to "Daily Double Play: Your MLB Update," brought to you by Big Dill Sports. I'm Dillon, here to catch you up on all the thrilling action from July 26, 2025. Let's dive right in with the standout games and performances that made yesterday a memorable day in baseball.

First up, a classic showdown at Fenway Park where the Red Sox edged the Dodgers 4–2. Garrett Crochet was a hero on the mound for Boston, shaking off a rocky start after back-to-back homers from Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández. Crochet found his rhythm, striking out ten and shutting down the Dodgers for six innings. On the offensive side, Jarren Duran was the spark, hitting two triples and a double. His clutch two-run triple in the second inning got Boston on the board, and they never looked back. Aroldis Chapman nailed down the save, getting Mookie Betts looking to secure the win.

Over in the Bronx, the Phillies' bats erupted in a 9–4 victory over the Yankees. Kyle Schwarber was an absolute beast, driving in six runs, including a crucial two-run double in the seventh. Bryce Harper chipped in with a solo shot to kick things off, while Edmundo Sosa’s two-run blast added to the excitement before he exited with a back contusion. On the mound, Ranger Suárez bounced back from recent struggles, keeping the Yankees in check. Unfortunately, the injury bug hit New York’s lineup again, with Aaron Judge landing on the injured list, leaving the Yankees struggling to find their groove.

In Milwaukee, the Marlins showed off their power in a 7–4 win against the Brewers. Heriberto Hernandez cracked a pivotal three-run homer, tipping the scales in Miami's favor. Dane Myers added a two-run shot, helping seal the deal. Janson Junk earned the win, backed by a stellar relief effort from Tyler Phillips, who notched his first career save.

Moving to Houston, the Athletics blanked the Astros 2–0 with a standout pitching performance. Brent Rooker’s early RBI double put Oakland on top, and Shea Langeliers’ solo homer provided all the insurance they needed. The A’s bullpen was dominant, preserving the shutout and keeping the Astros’ bats silent.

In other notable scores from around the league: the Cubs routed the White Sox 8–1, powered by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s pair of homers. The Rangers secured a 5–3 victory over the Braves, continuing their winning streak. Baltimore unleashed an 18-run onslaught against the Rockies, and the Mariners rode Cal Raleigh’s 40th homer to a 7–2 victory over the Angels.

Now, let’s talk trades. With the deadline looming, teams are making moves to gear up for the postseason. The Mets boosted their bullpen by acquiring Gregory Soto, adding a powerful lefty arm. Meanwhile, the Yankees added versatility with Amed Rosario, hoping to plug some gaps in their lineup. The Mariners scored first baseman Josh Naylor, aiming to beef up their offensive output. And the Diamondbacks have several enticing players drawing interest from the Yankees and Red Sox.

And now, it's time for our Big Dill Player of the Day: none other than Kyle Schwarber. His six-RBI performance was key in toppling the Yankees and stands as one of the day’s most remarkable efforts.

That’s all for this episode of "Daily Double Play." Thanks for joining me, Dillon, on Big Dill Sports. Keep your eye on the field as the trade deadline approaches. There’s plenty more action ahead in this exciting MLB season. Until next time, stay sporty!
