Despite setting new franchise marks with 177 runs and 53 home runs this August, the Mets suffered a disappointing 11-17 month marked by defensive mistakes. Now, they look to regroup and find consistency on a critical road trip following a sloppy series against the Marlins.

In a staggering display of offensive power, the Houston Astros handed the Los Angeles Dodgers their worst home defeat ever, an 18-1 blowout that left fans in disbelief on Independence Day. The Astros dominated with five home runs, including a decisive 10-run sixth inning, overwhelming the Dodgers’ pitching staff.

Indianapolis suffered a heavy 17-2 loss to Omaha, highlighted by pitching struggles from starter Thomas Harrington and reliever JC Flowers. Despite offensive efforts from Nick Solak and Malcom Nunez, the team couldn’t overcome the deficit.
