Red Sox Extend Winning Streak; Dodgers Struggle Amid Losing Streak

Jackson Jobe is making his return from Tommy John surgery as he starts for the Tigers against the Giants tonight. Jobe, the third overall pick in 2021, had a 3.91 ERA in his first 12 games before undergoing surgery in June 2025.

The Red Sox continued their impressive performance with a 13-1 victory over the Athletics, marking their ninth consecutive win and a remarkable 32-5 record over their last 37 games. Payton Tolle stood out on the mound, striking out 14 batters in six innings while allowing just one run.

In contrast, the Dodgers extended their losing streak to seven games after a 4-3 defeat to the Diamondbacks, where Ryan Waldschmidt hit a walkoff homer. Despite this slump, the Dodgers maintain a 7.5-game lead in the NL West. Meanwhile, the Yankees staged a comeback against the Braves, winning 3-2 with a game-winning sac fly from Ryan McMahon, ending Atlanta's eight-game winning streak.
