A’s Stun Cubs, Tigers Sweep Rays, Rockies Get Rocked, Sánchez Makes History, Ohtani Is AI | BD Baseball 6‑4‑26

Solo Thursday BD Baseball — Jake’s out, I’m running the full slate east‑to‑west, then shutting it down to read about New World screwworm instead of doing the farm and ranch report. We hit every game on the board: Marlins–Nats ruining my over, Tigers absolutely cooking the Rays at the Trop behind Troy Melton’s best start yet and Dillon Dingler’s third homer and ninth RBI of the series, and the White Sox offense dragging the Twins through the mud while Sam Antonacci reaches six times. From there it’s Mets ending Seattle’s eight‑game heater, Braves winning their 12th straight on two‑out bombs, Giants–Brewers playing a 1–0 game decided by a rookie’s first homer, Royals–Reds drama, Yankees–Guardians, and an Astros–Pirates game where Houston explodes late and Josh Hader finally closes one for them. In the homer block, the A’s pull a 10‑inning win at Wrigley on a Nick Kurtz RBI and a Colby Thomas rocket off the bench, Rockies get exposed by the Angels as Vaughn Grissom and friends hang 11, and then we zoom out: Cristopher Sánchez’s scoreless streak ends at 50 2/3 but he sets the all‑time lefty record, and Shohei Ohtani throws six scoreless while reaching base five times in a 7–0 Dodgers win. We close with today’s probables — Wheeler, Rodón, Chris Sale, Seth Lugo, JT Ginn, Robleski and more — plus a quick reminder that if you think Ohtani isn’t MVP, I don’t know what you’re watching.
