• Phillies 6, Rockies 0: Schwarber and Sánchez proved to be too much

Photo by Zoe Davis/Getty Images The Royals need to plug some holes in the rotation. The deadline to make trades is 5 p.m. CT, and the Royals may be active despite rather slim playoff odds.

• Orioles series preview: The biggest disappointment in the league

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images The Orioles were hoping to be contenders, but have not played like it at all. Not long after the Orioles fell to the Royals in the 2014 ALCS, the team fell into a rut and decided to embark on an aggressive rebuild.
