What happened: Chicago lacked the elite pitching prospects Detroit prioritized in deadline negotiations. Tarik Skubal said he would welcome a return to Detroit in free agency this winter.
Why it matters: Los Angeles added a two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner while pursuing a third consecutive championship. The specialty game returns to Dyersville for the first time since 2022.
By the numbers: Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson set an MLB record with 111 consecutive errorless games at the position. Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski became the second-fastest pitcher to 200 strikeouts in a season, while Max Scherzer reached 3,516 career strikeouts and moved into 10th place all-time.
What to watch: MLB Network carries Tuesday's Triple-A game at 6:35 p.m. CT; Netflix has Thursday's major-league game. Skubal's winter free agency will determine whether his Los Angeles stay extends beyond the stretch run.
