"The Brewers stay in the top spot after splitting a four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks and taking two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays. They are still 6.5 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs and cruising toward a playoff berth. Jackson Chourio returned from the injured list to excellent results, with six hits in two games. He will be key to Milwaukee breaking its playoff slump, with no series wins since 2018."
"The Phillies were swept by the New York Mets to start the week, bringing their Citi Field losing streak to 10 games. But they bounced back in Philly, taking three of four from the Atlanta Braves. Their division lead is now six games over the Amazins. Kyle Schwarber became the 21st player in MLB history to hit four home runs in one game, continuing an MVP-caliber season."
"The Blue Jays hold their spot in the MLB Power Rankings, taking two of three from the Minnesota Twins and dropping two to the Brewers. They avoided the sweep against the Crew on Sunday thanks to Nathan Lukes' two RBI in an 8-4 win. They saw their lead in the AL East shrink to two games on Saturday night, but it is back up to three with a big week ahead. The Blue Jays visit the Cincinnati Reds and the Yankees for three games each."
