With the score tied at 4-4, Freeman singled in Shohei Ohtani to give the Dodgers the win on a day that will best be remembered for Clayton Kershaw picking up strikeout number 3,000. Freeman is now hitting .309/.381/.500 on the season, and it seems pretty likely he’ll be joining Kershaw in Cooperstown someday.

Dave Roberts said the team was “optimistic” after initial testing, which is good news. Torn ACLs tend to be easy to diagnose, and the Dodgers should already know whether or not his intact. Either way, Muncy will have an MRI on Thursday and is surely IL bound after putting himself in a really bad spot with Michael A. Taylor sliding headfirst into third base. Hyeseong Kim and Enrique Hernández will likely pick up his at-bats.

Kershaw becomes the 21st player in MLB history to reach 3,000 strikeouts in the start. The 37-year-old was not terribly effective despite that milestone as he gave up nine hits and one walk against a lineup that isn’t exactly competing for world titles right now. Still, a pretty impressive accomplishment. He’ll look to add to that punchout total next week against the Brew Crew, with that start against Milwaukee scheduled for Monday.

The Guardians had a homer parade early against Shota Imanaga with Santana, David Fry, and Lane Thomas giving them an early 3-0 lead. Then, Tanner Bibee unraveled and they couldn’t fight back. Santana has been the same steady, boring contributor he’s always been so far this season with 10 home runs, four stolen bases, and a .708 OPS just past the halfway point of the season.

The Braves had a furious, two-out rally which led them to victory here and Olson put the exclamation point on it with his grand slam. After singles by Jurickson Profar and Ozzie Albies knocked Yusei Kikuchi out of this game with two outs in the sixth inning, Sean Murphy launched a three-run home run to give Atlanta their first lead. Then, Angels’ reliever Ryan Zeferjahn allowed a single to Michael Harris II and walked both ninth hitter Nick Allen and Ronald Acuña Jr. which set Olson up for his grand slam. It was his first RBI in over a week and first home run in two weeks as he and his Braves try to shake loose from the malaise that’s overcome their season.

The Reds were down 3-0 in the seventh when CES hit his sixth homer of the year with the bases loaded against Greg Weissert. The no-doubter left his bat at 109.1 mph and was projected at 439 feet. Encarnacion-Strand wasn’t even supposed to play tonight; he hurt his foot during the completion of last night’s suspended game this afternoon, but he was needed after Spencer Steer was scratched. The big game is very well timed for him, as the Reds infield is close to getting quite a bit more crowded with Noelvi Marte’s expected return from the IL.
