BD Baseball Daily – Walk‑offs, Dumbest Angels Walk‑off Ever, and Dansby’s 11 RBI Day (6/24/26)

BD Baseball Daily for Thursday, June 24, 2026, and the board was absolutely loaded. Matt runs through a full slate that included an A’s gut‑punch walk‑off loss to the Giants in “Gaytown,” a dumb Angels walk‑off swinging bunt, and a monster day from Dansby Swanson in a Cubs doubleheader sweep. We open with the A’s getting walked off at Oracle: Gage Jump shoves for five scoreless with nine punchouts, Tyler Mahle looks suddenly competent, and then Alvis Alvarado gets tagged by Rafael Devers and Victor Berroa for back‑to‑back solo shots to blow his second straight save. Injury updates hit too: Jacob Wilson’s shoulder scare on a play at the plate, Zach Gelof’s mangled throwing hand putting him on the IL and ending his 24‑game hit streak, and the A’s overall injury bug. From there it’s a scoreboard run: DeGrom and the Rangers lose to a surging Marlins squad; Paul Goldschmidt continues to torch lefties with two homers off Tarik Skubal in a Yankees win; the Rockies storm back on the Red Sox with Cole Carrigg’s bases‑clearing double and Rockies bullpen work; Guardians walk off the White Sox in extras; the Pirates blow out the Mariners behind Braxton Ashcraft’s 10‑K gem; Rays keep pace in the AL East; Phillies chip away and come from behind against the Nationals while the Braves continue to wobble; Astros beat the Blue Jays; Brewers hang on against the Reds; and the D‑backs hang a six‑run fourth on the Cardinals. We close with Dodgers drama (Shohei vs. Dalton Rushing with a challenged low strike and ERA splits by catcher), a Padres win behind JP Sears while the Braves struggle, and previewing today’s slate: Rays and Pirates already rolling, A’s trying to avoid the sweep in San Francisco, Astros–Tigers, Phillies–Nats, Rangers–Jays, Cubs–Mets, Yankees–Red Sox, D‑backs–Cards, plus some thoughts on where to look for overs. As always, Matt mixes gambling angles, injury notes, and rants about rainbow hats, MLB uniform rules, and Congress getting involved in San Francisco. Learn more about your ad choices.
