The Opener:
Key Points:
- The rarely seen "fourth out" rule affected the Red Sox/Blue Jays game when a run counted despite an apparent double play, as the Blue Jays failed to appeal at third base, which would have nullified the run.
- Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy announced that catcher Adley Rutschman, sidelined since mid-July with wrist inflammation, is expected to rejoin the team on Tuesday after rehab games with Triple-A Worcester.
- Twins pitcher Dean Kremer, recently traded from the Orioles, delivered a strong performance against his former team, pitching seven innings of one-run ball and earning his first win with Minnesota.
- Mets closer Devin Williams was placed on the injured list with a shoulder strain, leading interim manager Andy Green to appoint former starter Kodai Senga as closer, who secured his first MLB save in his debut relief appearance.
