9/19 10:52 AM Tarik Skubal (P-DET) Skubal strengthens case for AL Cy Young as playoff-chasing Tigers sweep Royals. Tarik Skubal allowed three hits over five innings for his 17th win and the streaking Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Wednesday night to move within a half game of a playoff spot. Riley Greene hit a go-ahead home run as the Tigers won their fourth straight and ninth in the last 11 games. Skubal, who has won his last five decisions, made his case for the AL Cy Young Award stronger by matching Atlanta’s Chris Sale for the major league lead in wins and lowered his AL-leading earned run average to 2.48. He walked one and struck out seven. Will Vest got the final two for his second save.

9/19 8:29 AM Tommy Pham (OF/DH-KC) Tommy Pham quote highlights embarrassing fact about the White Sox. The 2024 season has been an abject embarrassment for the Chicago White Sox. With only nine games remaining in the season, the 2024 White Sox have won a grand total of 36 games. In particular, the White Sox's interpretation of the data available to them has been described by a former employee as “comical” as “no one knew what was what”, as reported by Brittany Ghiroli and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. One of the worst applications of the data they have gathered has been in their outfield positioning instructions — with former member of the team Tommy Pham attesting to this.

9/19 7:06 AM Jackson Chourio (OF-MIL) Brewers Troll 'Baby' Jackson Chourio During NL Central Celebration. The champagne was popping in the Milwaukee Brewers clubhouse Wednesday night as the scrappy NL Central team celebrated a division title. Not everyone was enjoying bubbly adult beverages though, most notably Brewers star outfielder Jackson Chourio. Chourio, 20, cannot legally indulge in drinking alcohol, so the Brewers playfully laid into Chourio's youth by giving him special beverages to celebrate with. Milwaukee set up a bucket full of non-alcoholic beer and champagne (perhaps sparkling cider) in front of Chourio's locker.
