More importantly, it made the score 6-1 Cubs, with what looked like a lot of bad road ahead. The Mets hadn't exactly covered themselves in glory so far Tuesday night: David Peterson was terrible, looking again like a pitcher whose tank is on E, and didn't make it out of the second; Juan Soto misplayed a flyball into a two-run double; and Francisco Alvarez allowed two steals while concentrating on framing and/or looking for rulings on checked swings.

Righty Charlie Morton was on the bump for the Tigers. He's had decidedly mixed results since the trade deadline deal that brought him to the D, including allowing 11 earned runs in his last two starts. The White Sox led off with a Mike Tauchman single to right. A liner that Colt Keith dropped initially was a prime double play candidate, but Keith misplayed it by throwing to first instead of second and the Tigers only got the batter, moving Tauchman to second.

Each of Teoscar Hernández, Michael Conforto, and , were unable to make plays that would've changed the outcome of the game, with the latter having the most difficult of the plays. Clayton Kershaw gave up four runs in the first inning due in part to Hernández's aforementioned error, but settled in well after that, ultimately leaving the game tied after five innings.

Despite appearing to have blood coming from his right hand, Glasnow retired the first 10 batters faced before hitting Ketel Marte with a pitch to give the Diamondbacks their first baserunner of the game with one out in the fourth inning. Glasnow then retired six more batters in a row before Ildemaro Vargas beat the shift with an infield single.

For the majority of its mid stages, it had ugly loss written all over it. Ceddanne Rafaela failed to make not one, but two plays he would normally secure, each leading to an Oriole run. Then, Roman Anthony, Alex Bregman and Trevor Story came up and blew a first and third nobody out situation in the eighth after Connor Wong and David Hamilton of all people set that table.
