7/18 5:29 AM Ketel Marte (2B/DH-AZ) D-backs lose to Cardinals after star Ketel Marte fails to use ABS system on blown call. Major League Baseball’s new Automated Ball/Strike system was implemented to help players challenge pitches that they feel weren’t called correctly. But there’s one big caveat — it only works if it’s used. The Arizona Diamondbacks and three-time All-Star Ketel Marte learned that the hard way Friday night when Marte failed to challenge a called strike three by umpire Bill Miller for the final out in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Television replays showed that the 100 mph sinker from Riley O’Brien was high and out of the strike zone. The D-backs still had both of their ABS challenges remaining.

7/18 2:33 AM Gerrit Cole (P-NYY) Boone faults himself for leaving in Cole, who gives up go-ahead homer to Muncy in Dodgers' win.

The Yankees led on an unearned run in the fourth. Los Angeles improved to a major league-best 62-36 and New York dropped to 54-43. The game featured a key defensive play by Mookie Betts, Andy Pages and Dalton Rushing.
