Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets
SAN DIEGO -- Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the NL East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third, but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning, on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole followed by an epic bat flip. Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. It was the Padres' fifth walk-off win this season. Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter. ___

Red Sox targeting ace starting pitcher at "annoying level"
Despite a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Twins, the Boston Red Sox will likely be buyers before the trade deadline as they hold the last Wild Card playoff spot. Boston dealt with an extremely tough schedule coming out of the All-Star break, playing series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies, but is still in the playoffs with a 57-51 record. With the trade deadline less than a week away, the Red Sox need to make some additions if they truly want to make a run this season. Boston is reportedly trying to acquire one of the best starting pitchers on the trade market, as The Athletic's Jim Bowden reported that a handful of teams, including the Red Sox, are calling the Twins about ace pitcher Joe Ryan at an "annoying level". "The Red Sox, (New York Yankees), (Toronto Blue Jays), (Philadelphia Phillies), and (Seattle Mariners) are speed dialing the Twins at an annoying level with continued interest in Joe Ryan, basically their whole bullpen, Willi Castro and Harrison Bader," Bowden said. "Twins could end up being the headliner at the deadline as talks heat up according to sources." Ryan is in the midst of his best season in the big leagues with a 10-5 record in 21 appearances with a 2.82 ERA and 137 strikeouts. The 29-year-old pitcher was named to his first All-Star game this season and still has two seasons of arbitration Twins aren't necessarily out of the playoff race, so there's no guarantee that they deal Ryan in the first place. As Boston heads down the stretch, Ryan is the type of pitcher who can make an impact now and in the future. The price tag on the All-Star would likely be high, but it could be worth it for the Red Sox. More MLB:

The Mets have to seize this golden trade deadline opportunity
SAN DIEGO — If you haven't noticed, the National League is wide open. The superteam from up the road here in Southern California that was supposed to dominate and maybe set a record for wins in a season has been crippled by injuries and, though still formidable, can't be considered such a favorite for the World Series. With the Dodgers hardly appearing as a collection of immortals, the opportunity is here for the Mets. We say this as the hours pass toward Thursday's 6 p.m. trade deadline. The Mets can take the conservative route and add another power arm to the bullpen and call it a day. Such a move would leave the Mets as an improved team with an excellent chance of holding off the Phillies to win the NL East before taking their shot in the postseason.
