The Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep over the Houston Astros, winning 1-0 thanks to Ty France's solo home run. Controversy arose during the game when a pitch to Alex Bregman that grazed his arm was incorrectly ruled a foul ball, leading to an unsuccessful challenge by the Astros. In another incident, Byron Buxton, on a rehab assignment, was ejected from a minor league game after a pitch clock violation, marking his first ejection in professional baseball. The Twins, needing Buxton's return to boost their offense, are looking ahead to crucial games against rivals. Meanwhile, Chicago White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore was also ejected during a loss to the Baltimore Orioles after arguing a called strike, reflecting the mounting frustrations in a challenging season for the team. Both Buxton and Sizemore's ejections highlight the tensions faced by players and managers amid critical game moments.
