Somebody call the fire department, because Oracle Park was on fire Wednesday night! The San Francisco Giants put on one of the biggest offensive shows of the 2026 season, stomping the Milwaukee Brewers 16–3 in a game that wasn't even close. The Giants just kept hitting and hitting — and the poor Brewers couldn't stop any of it.
The star of the show? Catcher Danny Susac, who went 2-for-4 with TWO home runs, FOUR RBI, three runs scored, and a walk. That is a video-game stat line! Susac basically had a one-man wrecking crew night against a Brewers squad that entered the game as the hottest team in the NL Central at 67–41. Now that's an upset statement. The Giants, sitting at 46–62, gave Brewers fans a major headache.
This result is a massive deal in the NL Central standings. Milwaukee still leads the division by 13 games over the Cubs (61–47), but losing by 13 runs has to sting. Meanwhile the Giants needed a win like this badly — they're 22 games behind the division-leading Dodgers in the NL West and fighting to stay relevant. Susac's monster night was exactly the energy boost San Francisco needed heading into the second half of summer baseball!
Sixteen games were played Wednesday and there was something wild in almost every one of them! Two games went to 12 innings, one went 10 innings, and the Braves and Mets played a crazy doubleheader where each team won one game. Here's the full breakdown:

Three games needed extra innings last night — and all three were absolutely gripping! The Baltimore Orioles edged the Detroit Tigers 10–9 in 12 innings in a wild slugfest. Then the Chicago White Sox stunned the New York Yankees 6–5, also in 12 innings, handing the Yankees a gut-punch loss they won't forget. And the Boston Red Sox held on to beat the Oakland Athletics 4–2 in 10 innings thanks to Andruw Monasterio's big homer. Three bonus games in one night — what a Wednesday!
It was All-Star night on the soccer pitch! The MLS All-Stars took on the Liga MX All-Stars in a super fun exhibition matchup, and MLS came out on top 4–3 in a thrilling match. Liga MX — that's Mexico's top soccer league — always brings the heat in this annual showdown, so a one-goal MLS victory is something to celebrate. No individual stats were provided, but a seven-goal All-Star game is always a blast to watch!
