Philadelphia's pitching staff limited the Boston lineup to maintain a narrow lead during defensive contests on Tuesday and Wednesday. In Chicago, the White Sox outlasted the Kansas City Royals in a 6-5 divisional win, protecting a late lead despite an extensive injury list. The St. Louis Cardinals earned a road win, defeating the Athletics 6-4 behind a JJ Wetherholt home run. Off the field, the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted a reunion of Ice Cube and Chris Tucker at Dodger Stadium, while Ariel Helwani offered support for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Teams will transition to Thursday matinees and evening series finales as the mid-May schedule continues.
