Comeback Win

White Sox Hand Yankees Second Straight Extra-Inning Loss

White Sox Beat Yankees in Extra Innings Again

The Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees in extra innings on July 30 at Rate Field in Chicago — the second consecutive extra-inning loss for New York in the same series. The Yankees had led 4-0 with Cam Schlittler cruising on the mound before the game slipped away in a collapse reminiscent of the night before. Jasson Dominguez was photographed sliding into third base in the 11th inning but the rally came up short for New York. The back-to-back extra-inning defeats stretched the Yankees' poor record in games beyond nine innings and left the bullpen with little rest heading into the next series.

Orioles Rally from 7-0 Down to Beat Tigers 10-9 in 12 Innings

Orioles Complete 7-Run Comeback in 12 Innings

The Baltimore Orioles trailed 7-0 through six innings at Comerica Park on July 29 but mounted a historic rally against the Detroit Tigers, winning 10-9 in 12 innings. Baltimore scored five runs in the seventh and two in the eighth to force extra innings. Colton Cowser delivered the go-ahead two-out RBI single in the 12th, with Jackson Holliday driving in three runs overall. The win is the Orioles' largest comeback since a nine-run deficit erased in 2009, and only the third time since 2020 a team overcame a 7-plus run deficit in the sixth inning or later.

Tigers Confirm Skubal Trade Imminent Before Deadline

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on July 29 that the Detroit Tigers will trade two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal, with the team set to engage interested clubs within days of the August 3 trade deadline. Skubal recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in his final start against Baltimore, finishing 6.2 innings with six strikeouts and three runs allowed while leaving with a 7-0 lead that the Tigers ultimately blew. The Dodgers and Brewers are reported as the frontrunners, with teams needing strong prospect packages to compete. The announcement comes hours after the Tigers lost a 12-inning game that likely sealed the decision to sell.
