Before possibly trading Wheeler/Syndergaard, Mets land a top-tier pitcher from Toronto who has another year of control beyond 2019. After a below-average 2018, Stroman has been dominant (2.96 ERA, 1.227 WHIP, 99 K/35 BB in 125 IP) this year. NY is 6 GB in the WC race w/ 57 to go https://t.co/sloOWfZkVR

After the Rays blew a 7-run lead on Saturday, they responded by igniting a 7-run comeback of their own on Sunday. Also, earlier in the day, the teams agreed to a trade that would send Blue Jays 2B Eric Sogard to Tampa Bay.
It was 8-1, it’s now it’s 9-9

The last 2 @RaysBaseball–@BlueJays games marked the 1st time in @MLB history that a team won after trailing by 7+ runs and lost after leading by 7+ runs in back-to-back games.
Toronto rallied to victory on Saturday, and today, Tampa Bay returned the favor.

Milwaukee Brewers fans wish Kyle Schwarber never showed up to the game on Sunday. Because it appeared more Cubs fans showed up than Brewers fans in Milwaukee. 7 RBI’s later, Schwarber helped Chicago avoid the sweep.
