Thursday's card was smaller than Wednesday's and somehow louder.
Detroit hung another shutout on Seattle. The Mets swept Cleveland with 13 runs. Atlanta made it eight in a row. Boston needed 13 innings to beat Chicago 12-11. And Dylan Cease threw the best pitching line on the slate in a Blue Jays loss, because baseball refuses to make the boards tidy.

From the six featured games
What stood out
Detroit's 25 team fantasy points led the night, and the Tigers are no longer a post-deadline curiosity. They are a wild-card problem. The other board story was the split between production and result: Cease at 30 pitching FP in a loss, Meidroth at 16 hitting FP in a loss, Boston at 16 team FP only after 13 innings of chaos. AthX Engine grades the performance. The standings still grade the last run.
