On today’s episode: Act I: THE BIG STORIES (0:57-3:01) Max Scherzer pitched for the first time since the World Series and didn't miss a beat, throwing five solid innings to top the Royals.

Act II: WHIPAROUND (5:16-6:32) Edwin Díaz came on to close things out in the ninth for the Mets at Wrigley Field, but he was ejected before throwing a pitch following a "sticky stuff" check.

The Astros are suddenly the Astros again, having won five in a row to put some heat on the AL West-leading Mariners. And the Yankees lost their third series in a row, this time to the Braves. Act III: LOOKING AHEAD (7:35-8:48) The series of the week begins tonight in Baltimore, where the Orioles take on the team with the best record in the AL, the Guardians.
