Yankees rightfielder Aaron Judge snapped his strikeout streak at 37 consecutive games, going 1-for-1 with 3 walks in a win over the Tigers. Judge and Bill Stoneman (a pitcher for the 1971-72 Expos) share the mark for longest such streak all-time, Judge still remains on pace to crush Curtis Granderson's franchise record for strikeouts in a season.

Watch Joe Maddon discuss Ben Zobrist's contribution after showing up late to Tuesday's game against the Reds. He likened it to a moment in Tampa Bay when a former teammate showed up late only to produce a big hit.

Jackie Bradley Jr. "not worried" about his left thumb, which he said "bent in all directions" when he slapped home plate on a slide in the seventh inning Tuesday night. "It feels all right, I guess. As good as it can be after the injury." Described it as "just uncomfortable." X-rays negative, MRI Wednesday in Boston, will return to Cleveland in time for game but not likely to play.

Watch Kris Bryant discuss getting hit on the left hand by a pitch on Tuesday night.
Dan Shulman @DShulman_ESPN
With win tonight, #dodgers now 54-10 in last 64 games, 79-23 since starting season 10-12. #ridiculous

Kris Bryant probably won't play on Wednesday after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand in the ninth inning Tuesday night against the Reds. X-Rays were negative but the injuries have piled up on him. He's had a bad ankle, pinky finger and now the outside of his left hand has a contusion.

Kinda crazy the #yankees have a run differential of +120 and the #twins -32, yet they're only separated by 2.5 games.

X-rays negative on Jackie Bradley Jr.'s left hand, but he will return to Boston on Wednesday for an MRI exam, according to manager John Farrell.

The Cubs beat the Reds 13-9 after getting down 3-0 and 6-3 before tallying 10 runs in innings 6-8. Javy Baez tied it with a 2 run single in the seventh then Ben Zobrist followed with a 2 run double giving the Cubs their first lead of the night. They scored 4 runs in the 8th on four consecutive pitches, 3 singles and a wild pitch. Its the first time the Cubs scored at least 13 runs without hitting a home run since 2000. They're a season high 10 games over .500.

Red Sox 9, Indians 1: Doug Fister threw a complete-game one-hitter in his best start as a member of the Red Sox. Fister gave up a leadoff homer, then didn't allow a hit to the next 28 batters. It was his eighth career complete game and the first in which he allowed one hit. Eduardo Nunez, another midseason pick-up, hit his fifth homer in 100 plate appearances with the Red Sox after going deep four times in 318 plate appearances with the Giants.

Anthony Rizzo is playing third base in the ninth inning against the Reds with the Cubs leading big. Kris Bryant was hit by a pitch last inning and left the game after running the bases. The Cubs are out of position players besides catcher Rene Rivera so he entered sending Alex Avila to first base and Rizzo to third. Its Rizzo's first appearance at third base in his career.

The Yankees beat the Tigers, 13-4, as Gary Sanchez put on a show. He hit a 493-foot two-run homer in the first and added an opposite field two-run shot in the ninth. Masahiro Tanaka, off the DL, pitched seven innings of three-run ball.
Scott Lauber ESPN Staff Writer
Jackie Bradley Jr. leaves with what the Red Sox are calling a "left thumb injury" on the play at the plate. More details after the game, presumably.
Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer
Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went the opposite way for good measure in the ninth. His second homer of the night didn't travel as long as the first, but it gave him 25 on the year and 11 in his last 24 games. His first inning shot went 493-feet.
Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer
Masahiro Tanaka was pretty good in his return from the DL. Tanaka, who had inflammation in his shoulder, went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits. He struck out four and walked none. He was given a seven-run lead before the bottom of the third.
Jesse Rogers ESPN Staff Writer
The Reds are the first team with three different pitchers to record a hit in the same game since April 17, 2002 when the Expos did against the Cubs. Bruce Chen, Britt Reams and TJ Tucker had hits in that game while Cubs starter Jadon Bere went 1 for 2 as well. On Tuesday, Homer Bailey, Kevin Shackelford and Michael Lorenzen all singled while Cubs starter John Lackey walked twice.
ESPN Stats and Information
Gary Sánchez hit a 493-foot home run against the Tigers tonight. That's 2 feet shy of the longest HR in the majors this season, a 495-foot shot hit by his Yankees teammate, Aaron Judge on June 11 against the Orioles.
Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer
The streak is over. Aaron Judge's strikeout streak has come to an end. Judge had K'd in a major league record 37 games, but didn't on Tuesday night. He went 1-for-1 with three walks before being lifted as the Yanks were blowing out the Tigers.
