Monday brought a full 15-game slate of action across Major League Baseball and there was a tremendous amount of nail-biting drama. Nine of the contests were one-run affairs with widespread tension and little things deciding the eventual outcome.
The Dodgers once again stymied the Mets as the two teams from opposite coasts are headed in opposite directions. Los Angeles continues to enjoy the best record in baseball and the Mets have now dropped seven consecutive games. Also on a prolonged skid? The Brewers and Rockies, who dropped their sixth and fifth straight respectively. Things got even bleaker for the Red Sox in a shutout stumble against the Twins.
