The two long flies Heaney allowed would have been homers in 19 and 16 ballparks, respectively. Alas, they were both homers in Houston, while only one would have been a homer in Arlington. Heaney fell to 3-10 in spite of his solid 3.79 ERA. He’ll probably log some bullpen time in the second half, if only because the Rangers figure to get Tyler Mahle and Jacob deGrom back from Tommy John at some point.

Rizzo knocked a base hit in the second inning to score Jason Domínguez for the first run of the game. With things tied up in the tenth inning, he came through for the Yankees again with a double to give New York the lead with what would be the game-winning run.

Turner knocked a double in the second inning, then came up clutch in a big spot for the Mariners in the eighth. With Seattle trailing by one run, he took Clay Holmes deep for a game-tying solo homer. The Mariners would eventually fall in the tenth, with Turner striking out to end the game.

Hamilton took the mound in the bottom of the tenth to close out the game with a one-run lead. He gave up a base hit to put runners on the corners before striking out a batter while Julio Rodríguez was picked off at third. Hamilton then struck out the final batter to end the game, securing the win and locking up a playoff spot for the Yankees.

Cortes was brilliant in Seattle on Wednesday, holding the Mariners scoreless over six frames. He worked around four hits and three walks, inducing six groundouts and striking out six batters. The 29-year-old right-hander will take a 3.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 162/39 K/BB ratio across 174 1/3 innings into a start against the Orioles in New York on Tuesday.

Miller worked around a walk in the first inning, then gave up a run on a walk and a base hit in the second. He then worked around a bases loaded jam in the third, striking out Jazz Chisholm to end the threat. Miller fired three more clean frames to end his day after six innings with eight strikeouts. He’d get saddled with a no-decision after getting no run support. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 3.06 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a 166/43 K/BB ratio across 173 1/3 innings into a start against the Astros on Houston on Monday.

Correa was responsible for all four of the Twins’ runs in just his third game back since returning from injury. He drove in a run on a fielder’s choice in the first inning and singled in another in the fifth inning. His bases-loaded two-run single in the top of the 10th inning, gave the Twins a 4-2 advantage. Correa is hitting .315 with a .910 OPS and 51 RBI on the year.

Not only did Jansen have some command issues with two walks, but his velocity was down. Cora said that he was good enough to get through the inning in terms of health, but this is a situation to monitor; especially with the Red Sox closer to lottery status than playoff contention.

Gimenez’ stolen base was his 30th of the season. He’s hitting just .250 on the year, but has eight home runs and 60 RBI to go along with the steals.

Naylor now has 31 home runs on the year. He hit two solo shots off Bailey Ober with one coming in the second inning and the other in the seventh inning. Naylor had one home run in his last 22 games entering play Wednesday. He’s hitting .245 with a .789 OPS and 105 RBI on the year.

Floro was awful with the Diamondbacks with a 9.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP after being acquired by Arizona at the deadline. The right-hander is now free to sign with a new team, but may need to wait until 2025 to find a new home.
