Andrew Benintendi (OF/DH - CWS)
8/20/26 7:50 PM - Braves' Grant Holmes loses no-hit bid in seventh against White Sox in Chicago. Grant Holmes’ slider was working again, and he knew he was on a roll against the Chicago White Sox. The Atlanta right-hander was getting outs in a hurry Thursday. The few times White Sox batters made solid contact — flies to the warning track or infield liners — his fielders were in position. Holmes didn’t allow a hit until Andrew Benintendi lined a single to left with no outs in the seventh. That turned out to be Chicago’s only hit in the contest as the Braves won 2-0.

Craig Albernaz (C - TB)
8/20/26 3:14 AM - Orioles call for more technology after Pete Alonso's near-homer is ruled foul vs. Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles are calling for Major League Baseball to use technology to determine whether balls are fair or foul. The Orioles felt aggrieved Wednesday night against the New York Yankees after Pete Alonso’s deep fly to left field in the seventh inning was ruled foul — and the call was upheld on a review. The play occurred with the game tied at 3-all, and the Yankees went on to win 5-3. Alonso says baseball should do something like football with its pylon camera. Manager Craig Albernaz says there's no reason not to use ball-tracking data on calls like that.
