  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Stumbles in finale

    Gausman did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rays, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out five.

    It was a rocky finish to the regular season for Gausman, who allowed eight runs on 17 hits across 9.1 innings in his last two outings -- he had given up just three runs over 30 innings in his previous four outings. The 34-year-old Gausman will wrap up the campaign at 10-11 with a 3.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 189 strikeouts across 32 starts (193 innings).

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Smacks homer in season finale

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI single during the Astros' 6-2 win over the Angels on Sunday.

    Diaz got Sunday's scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning before giving the Astros a 2-1 lead with a solo shot in the fifth. His long shot was his 20th of the season, and he has reached the 20-homer mark in two of the last three years. With the Astros eliminated from playoff contention, Diaz will end the year with a .256/.284/.417 slash line with one steal, 56 runs, 25 doubles and 70 RBI over 567 plate appearances.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Powers Jays in finale

    Kirk went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 13-4 win over Tampa Bay.

    Kirk put the Jays ahead 5-1 with a grand slam off Ian Seymour in the first inning before extending Toronto's lead to 8-4 in the fifth with his second homer, a 419-foot blast off Edwin Uceta. Following a six-game stretch where he went 0-for-20, Kirk has gone 4-for-8 with three home runs in his last two contests. The 26-year-old catcher will finish the regular season with a .282/.348/.421 slash line, a career-best 15 homers, 76 RBI and 45 runs scored across 506 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Lance McCullers: No-decision in season finale

    McCullers did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four across three innings.

    McCullers was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday after recovering from a right hand injury. He gave up a solo homer to Mike Trout in the first before keeping the Angels off the board over the next two frames, but he did not return to the mound for the fourth frame after tossing 54 pitches (35 strikes). McCullers will end the 2025 regular season with a 2-5 record across 16 games (13 starts) with a 6.51 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 61:39 K:BB over 55.1 innings. The 32-year-old right-hander is under contract with Houston through 2026.

  • Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Victorious in final start

    Kershaw (11-2) earned the win in Sunday's 6-1 win over Seattle, striking out seven and allowing four hits and one walk over 5.1 scoreless innings.

    The future Hall of Famer dazzled in his last regular-season start, generating 16 whiffs out of his 94 total pitches to stymy the division-winning Mariners. The only extra-base hit Kershaw allowed was a Miles Mastrobuoni double in the third inning. The star southpaw wraps his final regular season with a 3.36 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84:35 K:BB across 112.2 total innings. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed prior to Sunday's game that because Kershaw was making a normal start in the regular-season finale, the southpaw wouldn't be available for the team's three-game wild-card series with the Reds, per Andrew Destin of the Associated Press. Kershaw could still be included on the roster for the NLDS if the Dodgers are able to advance past the wild-card round.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Flounders again in loss

    Miller (4-6) took the loss in Sunday's contest against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over four innings with two strikeouts.

    The Seattle right-hander's run of less-than-stellar work continued in his final outing of the regular season. Miller allowed all four runs on a pair of two-run homers -- Hyeseong Kim in the second and Freddie Freeman in the fourth -- as he wraps 2025 on a stretch of 12 consecutive starts allowing two or more earned runs. Over that span, Miller tallied just one quality start while pitching to a 6.79 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 59.2 frames. The Texas A&M product concludes his regular season with a 5.68 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 74:34 K:BB in 90.1 total innings.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Breaks own Dodgers HR record

    Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Mariners.

    The Japanese superstar broke his own Dodgers single-season homer mark with his 55th long ball. Ohtani cracked a 412-foot solo shot off Seattle southpaw Gabe Speier in the seventh to make history. The 31-year-old wraps another incredible regular season at the plate, slashing .282/.392/.623 with 20 steals, 146 runs scored and 102 RBI over 726 plate appearances.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Clubs third long ball

    Kim went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-1 win at Seattle.

    The Los Angeles rookie opened the contest's scoring with a 409-foot, two-run shot off Mariners starter Bryce Miller in the second. With the home run, Kim snapped a 49-game stretch dating back to May 31 without a round tripper. The 26-year-old concludes his first season with a .281/.315/.388 slash line, 13 steals, 19 runs scored and 17 RBI in 169 total plate appearances.

  • Freddy Peralta SP | NYM

    Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Allows a run in two frames

    Peralta took a no-decision in Sunday's 4-2 win against the Reds, conceding one run on three hits and no walks over two innings. He struck out three.

    The Milwaukee right-hander threw only 44 pitches, 30 of which were strikes, in this short tune-up before his team enters the playoffs. The lone blemish on Peralta's line came via an Elly De La Cruz solo homer in the second. With this effort, Peralta concludes the finest regular season in his eight-year career. He pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 204:66 K:BB across 176.2 total innings.

  • McCade Brown P | COL

    Rockies' McCade Brown: Falls to Giants

    Brown (0-5) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He struck out two.

    Both runs charged to Brown came via the long ball -- he gave up a solo shot to Willy Adames to lead off the game before Rafael Devers led off the fourth with another homer. It's a tough way to finish the season for Brown, who allowed one run while striking out 10 in his last time out against the Mariners. Overall, Brown posted a 7.36 ERA with a 1.83 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings in his first seven major-league starts.
