Wednesday night's slate of MLB action featured some crisp action and tremendous pitching resulting in no shortage of late-inning drama. Five of the contests were one-run affairs and top hurlers like Shohei Ohtani and Jacob Misiorowski continued to build on their excellent seasons. The latter was unfortunately forced out of an eventual Brewers loss with an injury, joining the Yankees' Max Fried, who was also pulled early. Top-level hurlers have been bitten by the injury bug early this season and the next one always feels right around the corner.
The scalding-hot Braves continued their winning ways and now have taken four straight decisions. They share the longest current winning streak in baseball with the White Sox. Chicago's 6-5 victory over the Royals kept them in second place in what's looking like a very winnable American League Central and ran their overall record to 21–21.
