line to left center field. It’s in for a base set. Here comes a glacius around. The throw is up the line. Padres walk it off. Elias Diaz from mob.com. This is the morning lineup podcast. I’m your host Matt Mon. Today is Tuesday, July 29th, and we had a pitcher duel, some all-time defense, some high-powered offense, and an unbelievable ending. And that was all in just the Mets Padres’s game. The Cubs and Brewers tied for first place faced off in game one of a huge series. There were some trades and one prime trade candidate who had a hit by pitch scare. And we finally remember a Cubs icon and Hall of Famer Ryan Samberg who sadly passed away on Monday at the age of 65. The Mets Padres’s game looked to be a pitcher du on Monday night. Frankie Montas and Dylan CE were dealing giving up just a run a piece into the fourth inning. CE even ended up with nine strikeouts. But in that fourth inning with a man on, Mark Ventos had his sights on getting the Mets their eighth win in a row. One problem. There’s that guy in right field named Fernando Tatis Jr. and he’s kind of athletic. Now the pitch and Bento sends it in the air to right field. That’s well struck. Fernando’s going back. He is at the wall. He leaps up and he had it and he dropped it and the umpires will say it’s an out. What a play by Fernando. Went up and took a home run away from Bentos. But you know what they say in baseball, rob me once, shame on you. Rob me twice. Well, you can’t rob me again. Vietentos came up to the plate in the very next inning. This time with the bases loaded and Marky Mark got the party started. 3-2 to Vietentos and he flies one out to right field. This one’s deep. Back goes Tatis. This one’s at the wall. It’s out of here. There’s Ventos with an opposite field grand slam. Tatis couldn’t catch this one. 5 to one Mets. But Mark’s party might have woken up the Padres’s, too. In the bottom of the inning, Luis Arise hit a two-run homer to make it five to three. Two more singles tied things up, and Ias Diaz, whose nickname is the beautifully sounding El Mokucho, delivered San Diego the lead. It stayed six to five until Robert Suarez, one of the best closers in baseball, who hadn’t given up a home run all year, came in for the save. Sure thing, right? Wrong. And he hits one in the air. deep right center back goes. Tatis takes a look and this game is tied. Ronnie Mauricio for the second straight night. Ronnie Mauricio’s sixth homer of the year, six to six. But the Padres’s got two on in the bottom of the ninth. And with two outs, it was that guy El Marakucho once again. And Diaz lines it into left field. Here comes NMO has to play it on a hop. Eacius rounding third. Here’s the throw to the plate. No shot. And the Padres’s walk it off. The winning run scored by of course Mr. OMG Jose Glacius himself. O Mets fans. A big seven to6 win for the Padres’s to end the Mets sevengame winning streak. The Cubs vers the Brewers. Chicago dogs with no ketchup. What gives? Versus Milwaukee Sausages with whatever you want to put on them. The two teams collided for a three-game set this week in a tie for first place in the NL Central. Jacob Miserowski, the Whiz Miz kid, took on Sai Young candidate Matthew Boyd in game one last night. And the Miz, he had a rough first inning. Little dribbler out front of the mound. Miserowski picks it up, throws it away, and two runs come in to score. The Cubs on top three to nothing. Merowski gave up three runs in the first to allow the Cubs an early three to nothing lead. Things did not look great, but Matthew Boyd, who hasn’t really had a hiccup all season, finally had his hiccup. He couldn’t stop hiccoping in the third inning. Lined to right. A base hit that’ll tie the game. Vaughn headed for third. It’s a brand new contest in Milwaukee. Milwaukee scored four in the third to take a one-run lead. They scored another in the fifth on an Andrew Vaughn home run. Another in the sixth on a South Freelick dinger. And then in the seventh it was that guy Christian Yelich again. The 1-1. Yelich drills it deep into a right. This is way back. Tucker looking track wall top of the wall. It’s gone. It went over. Oh my. Yelich a two-run home run off the yellow and into the Cubs bullpen. Yelich’s 20th home run of the year. His first 20 homer season since he hit 44 in 2019. He might be back. He’s definitely back. De Miz ended up only giving up two earned runs and striking out seven over four frames. Good enough to help the Brewers get an eight to four win and more importantly get into first place by a game in the NL Central. Coming up, a top trade target comes out of the game after getting hit by a pitch and remembering Rhino. The Dbacks lost to the Tigers 5 to one. Detroit’s recently called up prospect Troy Melton pitched seven scoreless with five strikeouts. But the big news out of the game was top trade deadline target Euano Suarez getting hit on the hand by a pitch in the ninth. Suarez came out of the game wincing in pain when the trainer tended to him. The slugger went in for x-rays and they came back negative as Dback’s manager Tory Lavella said about a half a dozen teams were holding their breaths. Ronald Akuna Jr. hit a 468 ft home run, his longest of the year and the fifth longest of his career to help the Braves to a 10 to7 win over the Royals. Marcel Zuna and Austin Riley also homered in the victory. The Orioles blew out the Blue Jays 11 to four. Those hit four homers including Raone Lauraniano’s 15th and Cedric Mullen’s 15th, roughing up Chris Bassin. George Springer was also hit in the head by a pitch late in the game and removed. Manager John Schneider said it more got him in the shoulder and was hopeful there wasn’t serious injury. The Dodgers stopped the Red’s 4game winning streak, topping Cincy 5 to2. Yoshino Yamamoto struck out nine across seven innings, giving up just a run. He’s now 9 and seven on the season with a 2.4 RA, third best in the NL. Chase Burn struck out 10 in the loss, but gave up three runs. Junior Commonro hit his 27th homer and Drew Res Mucen gave up just two runs over five to get the Rays a 4-2 win over the Yankees in the Bronx. The Angels stopped the Rangers six-game winning streak, beating Jacob Deg Grom in Texas 6 to four. Deg Grom gave up four runs. The Grocer went up to 2.55 on the year, tied for fourth in the league. Taylor Ward homered in the win, his 25th of the season. In some other trade non-game news, the Tigers traded their number 14 prospect catcher Enrique Jimenez to the Twins for right-handed pitchers Chris Paddock and Randy Donak. The two will give Detroit some depth, but they won’t be aces by any means. Paddock has put up a 4.95 RA in 111 innings this season, while Donak has spent most of the year at AAA with an erra over seven. The Brewers are in the process of finalizing a trade with the Rays for catcher Danny Jansen, providing some backup help behind Wilson Cadras. Jansen has posted 11 homers in a 703 OPS for the Rays this year. The Braves acquired Carlos Carrasco from the Yankees, mostly as a placeholder for their injured rotation. Seth Lugo is not going anywhere, signing a 2-year extension to stay in Kansas City until at least 2027, while Casey has lost all-star Chris Bubich for the rest of the year to a left rotator cuff strain. and Emanuel Class A has been placed on nondisciplinary paid leave through August 31st while MLB continues its sports betting investigation. In some tragic news, Cubs great and baseball hall of famer Ryan Samberg passed away yesterday at the age of 65. Samberg had battled prostate cancer into remission in August 2024, but it came back and spread to other organs by the end of last year. Still, he promised to fight on and made appearances at Wrigley Field this season, even firing a first pitch on opening day. Rhino was one of the best second baseman to ever step on a major league diamond, doing everything possible on the field. He went to 10 all-star games, won nine gold gloves, stole 344 bases, hit 282 home runs, including a league leading 40 in 1990, and took home an NL MVP award in 1984. He even has a game named after himself, the Sandberg game when he helped the Cubs come back from a 7 to1 deficit against the Cardinals with seven RBI’s, including a game-tying homer in both the ninth and tth innings. He was beloved by fans at Wrigley and baseball fans everywhere. Much of it because of the respectful way he played the game, something he noted in his 2005 Hall of Fame speech that was recently beautifully recited at this past weekend ceremony in Coopertown. Here’s the original from Rhino himself. The reason I am here, they tell me, is that I played the game a certain way. That I played the game the way it was supposed to be played. I don’t know about that. But I do know this. I had too much respect for the game to play it any other way. And if there is a single reason I am here today, it is because of one word, respect. That’s all for today’s morning lineup. I will be back with you tomorrow. We have some nearly morning baseball for you East Coasters, but definitely in the central time zones and the West Coast.
