With the Red Sox planning to honor David Ortiz, here's what those who know him best will remember about Big Papi. es.pn/2dwJuUc
Cards walk off in controversial fashion
Reds manager Bryan Price's attempt to challenge whether Yadier Molina's game-winning double should have been a ground-rule double -- which would have kept the winning run at third -- is too late, as the Cardinals win a crucial game.
Jim Caple ESPN Senior Writer
The odds may not be great but it's not over yet. The Mariners beat Oakland 3-2 to stay two games behind Baltimore and Toronto in the wild card race with three games to play. Jays and O's also playing tough opponents (Red Sox and Yankees) while Seattle playing Oakland.
David Ortiz's farewell to Yankee Stadium
Ortiz received numerous standing ovations from the Yankee Stadium crowd, including when he was removed from the game after drawing a walk in his final at-bat in the Bronx.

Mets and Cardinals fans need not worry. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said his club plans on playing the Giants hard this weekend with playoff implications present. At question, though, would be how long starters Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill are extended in their outings.
David Schoenfield SweetSpot blogger
With 10 strikeouts so far through six innings, Johnny Cueto becomes the third straight Giants starter to record 10+ K's -- the first time they've done that since 1975. More importantly, the game is 2-2. Win, and the Giants remain a game up on the Cardinals; lose and they're tied as the Dodgers come to San Fran for the final series.
