• Cubs 6, Royals 0: All-Star Matthew Boyd shines bright

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs posted their 12th shutout of 2025.

• Royals get stepped on literally and metaphorically in 8-3 loss to Mets

The Royals got stepped on literally and metaphorically. | Denny Medley-Imagn Images The Mets’ seven runs in the 8th and 9th killed the vibe. Welp, the bullpen blew it.

It was good enough - ...2025

Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Salvy is almost certainly going to be a feature in the Royals lineup, whether he is hitting well or not.
