Peralta allows 1 hit in 6 innings and Brewers beat Cubs
All-Star pitcher Peralta (15-5) shut Chicago out over six innings to help Milwaukee advance to an MLB-best record of 79-45. The Brewers, which had their franchise-record 14-game winning streak snapped by the Reds on Sunday, have won 23 of 28 games since the break.
Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each had two hits, two RBIs and a solo home run to lead the way. Milwaukee's Abner Uribe, Jared Koenig and Grant Anderson held Chicago to one combined hit over the final three innings of relief.
The Brewers attacked Cubs pitcher Cade Horton (7-4) early. After Turang's homer in the third, Horton allowed three of the next four batters to reach base and was removed from the game with a blister on his right middle finger. Reliever Drew Pomeranz retired the ensuing batter to escape the inning with a one-run deficit.
TIGERS 10, ASTROS 0
DETROIT (AP) — Jack Flaherty struck out nine batters in seven scoreless innings and Detroit went on to beat Houston Astros.
Wenceel Pérez, Riley Greene, Trey Sweeney and Colt Keith homered for the Tigers, who were coming off a 5-2 road trip.
Flaherty (7-12) allowed three hits and a walk to win for the second time in 12 starts. Former closer Alex Lange, who underwent lat surgery last season, pitched the ninth — his first MLB appearance since May 22, 2024.
Spencer Arrighetti (1-4) gave up five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings.
PIRATES 5, BLUE JAYS 2
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes kept the American League's top team in relative check for six innings and Pittsburgh took advantage of some sloppy play by Toronto Blue to pull away for a victory.
Skenes bounced back from a rare shaky performance in his previous start to limit the American League-leading Blue Jays to two runs over six innings. The burly 23-year-old struck out eight against one walk as his ERA ticked up to 2.16.
Evan Sisk (1-1) picked up his first big league victory with a scoreless seventh. Dennis Santana worked the ninth for his eighth save as the Pirates won for just the second time in nine games.
Henry Davis doubled off Yariel Rodríguez (2-1) leading off the seventh, and scored on a wild pitch by Brendon Little to put Pittsburgh in front to stay. Spencer Horwitz, a former Toronto first baseman, had two hits for the Pirates.
PHILLIES 12, MARINERS 7
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner had four hits, including his first home run at home this season, Bryce Harper homered twice and Philadelphia defeated Seattle.
Turner hit a three-run homer off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (3-5) as part of a six-run second inning. Turner also had two singles and a double for his fifth straight multihit game. He finished with five RBIs.
Harper hit homers in back-to-back innings. His solo shot in the sixth marked the 11th time he's had 20 home runs in a season. An inning later, his two-run homer off the second deck made it his 30th multihomer game.
J.T. Realmuto had three hits, including a home run, and the Phillies also got RBI hits from Kyle Schwarber, Max Kepler and Bryson Stott. All told, the Phillies got 21 hits.
Ranger Suárez (9-6) matched a career high with 10 strikeouts to earn the win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits.
ORIOLES 6, RED SOX 3
BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Rogers took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Gunnar Henderson had a solo homer and an RBI to lead Baltimore to a victory over Boston.
Top Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo, who was the No. 8 prospect in all of baseball before he was called up for his major-league debut on Sunday, doubled off the Green Monster for his first extra-base hit and added a two-run single in the ninth. Ryan Mountcastle had three singles.
Boston starter Dustin May (7-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, striking out five in six innings to lose for the second time in three starts since he was acquired by Boston from the Dodgers at the trade deadline.
Boston cut it to 6-3 in the ninth on Jarren Duran's two-out, two-run double. But Yennier Cano got Ceddanne Rafaela to hit a broken-bat grounder to third for the final out.
CARDINALS 8, MARLINS 3
MIAMI (AP) — Alec Burleson went 3 for 4, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and St. Louis ended their five-game losing streak with a win against Miami.
Miami right fielder Dane Myers was unable to make a routine catch at the warning track in the seventh, which put a runner in scoring position for the Cardinals. Burleson's RBI single sent Iván Herrera home for a 4-3 lead.
St. Louis added another run on a single by Pedro Pagés.
The Marlins were undone by two errors, three unearned runs, four wild pitches and five walks allowed.

Yankees drafted player who admitted drawing swastika on Jewish student's door
The New York Yankees selected 19 players in the 2025 MLB Draft, including one prospect who admitted that he drew a swastika on a Jewish student's door while attending college at the University of Nebraska. Core Jackson, who was the Yankees' fifth-round selection this year, told The Athletic that the incident happened in 2021 when he was a 17-year-old freshman, also telling the website that he couldn't remember drawing the swastika because he was "blackout drunk." Jackson said that he called teams to let them know about what he had done before the 2024 draft, adding the incident was a "really stupid mistake," and he is no longer 'the person he was when it all happened." "I think it's important that it is part of my story,' Jackson told The Athletic. 'I have this platform now that God has given me, and I can share my story about his forgiveness." Nebraska's discipline for Jackson included a fine, sensitivity training and community service. "I felt like the worst person in the world," Jackson said of the incident. "I don't want there to be any excuses for my actions." Jackson transferred to South Mountain Community College in Phoenix the next season, then played for the University of Utah for his junior season, hitting .321 with four homers and 33 RBIs, He also ran into trouble in Utah after being charged with driving under the influence last September. Jackson performed community service, paid fines and was ordered to do substance abuse training after the DUI was dropped to a misdemeanor charge of impaired driving. Jackson received a signing bonus of $147,500 when he was drafted and was assigned to High-A Hudson Valley. According to the article, the Yankees did their "most thorough 'due diligence' " on Jackson, and owner Hal Steinbrenner signed off on the draft pick. "I would ask for their forgiveness and let them know I'm not the same person I was when that happened," he said of people upset about his past. "I've grown up. I've learned. I've reconciled. I've done the things I needed to do to learn about it."

All eyes on top-rated recruit Bryce Underwood at QB for No. 14 Michigan in Sherrone Moore's 2nd year
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Bryce Underwood is ready to have all eyes on him this season, playing quarterback for No. 14 Michigan hailed as the top-rated recruit in the country. He's also ready to take some hits. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Underwood told two reporters earlier this summer — at a car dealership that leveraged his name, image and likeness to draw fans for autographs — that he has put on 15 pounds of muscle to get bigger, stronger and quicker. 'It's made me more explosive,' Underwood said. 'I feel way more faster.' The Wolverines trail four Big Ten teams in the AP Top 25, but Underwood said people should expect a lot from them on both sides of the ball. 'Offense and defense that they never seen before,' he said. Second-year coach Sherrone Moore, who might name a starting quarterback on Monday, said Underwood's talent and comprehension of the offense under new coordinator Chip Lindsey are what have stood out the most so far from the freshman. 'Consistency is the biggest thing,' he said. 'Don't turn the ball over, command the offense, make plays.' Sign-stealingMoore will be suspended for the third and fourth game of the season as a self-imposed sanction in response to the NCAA investigation into the sign-stealing scandal that has loomed over the program for two years. The NCAA also suspended Moore for the 2026 opener, fined the school tens of millions of dollars and reduced official visits by 25% this season. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said the governing body made errors interpreting its bylaws, adding that conclusions were made that were contrary to the evidence. 'We will appeal this decision to ensure a fair result and we will consider all other options,' Manuel said. On the ground Michigan expects to take pressure off Underwood with a potentially dynamic duo in the backfield. Justice Haynes, who started six games last season at Alabama, and sophomore Jordan Marshall, who ran for 100 yards against the Crimson Tide in a bowl game win, are expected to split time at running back to give the team quite a 1-2 punch. 'They compete in the weight room every single day, push each other and they just work as hard as they can,' Underwood said. Over-under Michigan was 8-5 in Moore's debut season, closing with three straight wins, including a fourth in a row against rival Ohio State and over Alabama in a bowl game. The Wolverines are projected to have similar results this year. The Wolverines over-under is 8 1/2 wins, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Michigan's mantra Robby Emery, director of character development for Michigan football, has tried to set the tone with coaches and players to control what they can and to let the rest go. 'We're really living by this motto of TNT — today not tomorrow,' Moore said. The schedule Michigan opens with New Mexico on Aug. 30 under the lights at the Big House. The Wolverines travel to play Oklahoma, where Moore was an offensive lineman nearly 20 years ago, in Week 2. Moore will miss a home game against Central Michigan and the Big Ten opener at Nebraska. The Wolverines play rival Michigan State on the road Oct. 25 and close the regular season at home against rival and third-ranked Ohio State on Nov. 29. Michigan is not scheduled to play No. 2 Penn State, No. 7 Oregon or No. 12 Illinois. ___ AP college football: and Sign up for the AP's college football newsletter:

With the WR depth chart slashed by injury and suspension, who could the Vikings add?
When you have Justin Jefferson on your roster, wide receiver is always going to be a position of strength. And while the top of the Vikings' receiver depth chart is as solid as ever, injuries and a suspension mean the team is thinner there than they'd like heading into this season. Jefferson himself just returned to practice after being held out for a while with a hamstring strain. The team insists he'll be ready for Week 1. Jordan Addison, the route-running Robin to Jefferson's Batman, is suspended for the first three games after a reckless driving conviction. No. 3 receiver Jalen Nailor is nursing a hand injury and free agent addition Rondale Moore will miss a second straight season after suffering a knee injury in the Vikings' first preseason game. Behind that group, the Vikings have several rookies, including third-round pick Tai Felton, and a handful of unproven vets and depth pieces. Given that, the team could look to sign a wide receiver — or even trade for one, as the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. So, who's available? This close to the start of the season, the pickings are slim, but there are some viable trade and free-agent targets for the Vikings to go after, including a couple of ghosts of Vikings past. Palmer is entering his third season with the Buccaneers, and he's buried on one of the deepest depth charts in the league. Though the Bucs have injury questions of their own with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan, they just spent a first-round draft pick on Emeka Egbuka and signed Sterling Shepard this offseason. Palmer has a similar size profile to Addison, and while he's obviously not as talented as the Vikings' No. 2, he only has to replace him in the short term. Palmer also brings skills as a returner, where the Vikings have an open competition. Pierce is coming off the best season of his career (824 yards and seven touchdowns), and would likely command the highest trade return of any name on this list. The 25-year-old is a great deep threat, averaging 22.4 yards per reception last year. So why would the Indianapolis Colts trade him? Well, they just named Daniel Jones their starting quarterback, and Jones is among the league's most reluctant deep passers. The Colts' offense will likely be predicated on short passes, and while Pierce could be used as a decoy to free up space underneath, he may want to seek greener pastures elsewhere. At 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, he also would give the Vikings an element of size they're currently lacking. Here's a familiar name. The Vikings released Thielen after the 2022 season and he signed a deal with the Carolina Panthers. He's been solid in Carolina, collecting 1,629 yards and nine touchdowns across two seasons. But the Panthers just took a wide receiver with the No. 8 overall pick, and they have some other young prospects as well. A reunion between the Vikings and Thielen would make sense for everyone involved. Davis is a free agent, so the Vikings wouldn't have to give up anything but money to get him. But he's coming off an injury of his own, so depending on his recovery, the Vikings might be hesitant to add him as a failsafe. Still, before his injury last season, he was one of the league's most consistent backup receivers, averaging 682.5 yards and 6.8 touchdowns across four season with the Buffalo Bills. If the medicals check out and the money's right, the Vikings could get a steal in Davis. Another free agent and another familiar face. Powell spent the last two seasons with the Vikings, serving as a depth piece and occasional returner. While he won't move the needle on the field, he's familiar with the offense and likely wouldn't be an expensive add. If the Vikings are just seeking a Band-Aid while Addison's suspended and Nailor is recovering, Powell would be a fine option.
