The Red Sox snapped a five-game skid with a tenth-inning rally in the Bronx, while the Mariners and Athletics traded leads for eleven frames before a walk-off in Seattle. Out west, the Dodgers torched the Giants for fifteen hits and a double-digit margin. Cleveland's ace tossed a complete-game shutout, the Phillies and Mets combined for fifteen runs in Queens, and the Brewers buried the Reds early on the strength of three home runs in the second.

Letter From the Editor
The Sporting Telegraph is a sporting paper, plain and simple — a love letter to the box scores you used to unfold over breakfast and the agate type you squinted at on the bus to school. We believe games are best understood as numbers in a neat little grid, and that the grid itself is a kind of poem.
We started here with the national pastime, but the desk has plans for the hardwood, the gridiron, and the ice. Each league will have its own scores, standings, and leaderboards, kept in the same honest, no-nonsense layout. No flashing graphics, no autoplay video, no algorithmic feed — just the day's results, set in good type.
The Contents of This Edition
Each morning's paper carries the full slate of the day's contests — every match set in the traditional line score, with the complete account of each side's bats and arms folded beneath. The Standings column holds the divisional table; Stat Leaders names the men at the top of every category worth counting.
On the Wire
Our figures are drawn each morning from the official league wire and set into type before the ink is dry. Batting lines, pitching ledgers, standings, and statistical leaders are final as of press time. The occasional misprint is corrected in the following edition — telegraph [email protected] and we will see to it.
Corrections & Letters
For corrections and questions, please telegraph [email protected]. We answer every letter, eventually.
