Well that didn't take long. Guardians prospect Angel Genao needed just one pitch to log his first big league hit in his MLB debut.

Per Elias, this is the first time in MLB history that both teams led off a game with left-on-left homers

How's that for an MVP duel? Shohei Ohtani and Pete Crow-Armstrong go punch-for-punch with 1st inning leadoff homers

Craig Counsell had to jump out of the way to avoid getting drilled by this Andy Pages foul ball

Tarik Skubal takes the loss in his Dodgers debut. Gotta believe LA is already starting to regret this trade.* *not a serious post

Coors Field is probably the worst park to try and prove yourself to your new team on the mound. That said, this has been such a disheartening season from Freddy Peralta, a guy whose 2025 numbers sure made it look like he had great days ahead of him.

Teoscar Hernández puts one on Waveland so loudly the Cubs' broadcast doesn't even pretend there's doubt about it

Pedro Ramírez with a play so good it makes you shout the rest of your ad read

Carson Kelly with the Cubs' third homer already tonight. Seems Chicago is a bit energized after a busy deadline day.

The Dodgers took an early 3-0 lead at Wrigley Field in the span of five pitches

The Reds’ moves were weirdly minor. Maybe they convinced themselves they can make a Wild Card run. My guess - especially with the “we just may keep Brady Singer” report -is they overvalued their rentals, waited to be wowed, weren’t and threw 2 trades up at the buzzer to say they did something.

Man the Cubs up and got themselves a whole new pitching staff in the span of 24 hours

Adley Rutschman was seen as the first of many top prospects who arrived to guide the Orioles out of their malaise and into consistent contention. That he departs without Baltimore winning even one playoff game during his five years there is kinda surreal.

Jo Adell has struggled to live up to his status as a former top prospect and somehow also becomes the Guardians’ 2026 home run leader the second he arrives in Cleveland

So really the Cubs and Blue Jays did a nice little Jameson Taillon for Kevin Gausman swap

A reminder of the toll the trade deadline can take on players: catcher Tyler Stephenson, the Reds' 2015 first-round pick whose name has come up in the rumor mill, gets emotional after what could be his final game in Cincinnati. Even reporter Jim Day appears to get caught up in the moment.

Awkward moment here as the Guardians and D-backs benches cleared but things had to be broken up because "Um please move we need to tarp the field"

The Reds are yet another team playing in a monsoon today and trying to "dirt" the problem away

The field conditions in Baltimore aren't great...

So yeah NL Rookie of the Year is basically Sal Stewart's to lose at this point

The Rays feel like a perfect destination for Freddy Peralta. Doesn't need to be *the* guy in a rotation pitching as well as Tampa's this season, feels like an ease of pressure might do wonders for him.

I sure hope the Guardians have more up their sleeve than a trade for Blake Perkins…

The Reds were 1-for-15 tonight with runners in scoring position and they somehow won the game in a way that reflects that

Take a listen to what it sounds like when Elly De La Cruz hits a ball 115.7 mph

James Wood made a diving attempt for the final out of the fifth. He came up short, and two pitches later, the Braves made him pay for it.

You guys Luis García Jr. just hit a baseball out of Truist Park

It seems Mike Vasil is taking his role as White Sox Dugout Wizard to a whole new level

Julio Rodríguez with your classic "no sense in the outfielder pretending he can catch that" dinger

Paul Sewald came on in the ninth to protect the Diamondbacks' 6-3 lead over Pittsburgh and seal the win. He did not accomplish that.

Dane Myers - who missed time earlier this year after crashing into the wall to make a catch - crashes into the wall to make a game-ending catch for the Reds
