In Boston, the Red Sox opened their final week of the regular season with a two to three loss to Cleveland at Fenway, and the timing couldn't be worse. Erik Miller's struggles out of the bullpen in the ninth inning are a real concern for a team that needs every arm healthy and sharp heading into October.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the Dodgers are rolling. Tommy Edman and Will Smith went deep as LA dropped seven on San Diego, scoring five of those runs with two outs in a dominant shutout win. The Dodgers are now just one game behind Milwaukee for the best record in the National League and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
And the story that could shake the entire National League postseason picture — Ronald Acuna Junior left Tuesday's game with an injury, and Atlanta is just one week from their Wild Card series. The Braves have leaned on Acuna all season, and if he can't go, their World Series window takes a serious hit. This one bears watching very closely.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
