Giancarlo Stanton finally had reason to display some positive emotion. The slugger, who has slumped most of the season, broke out on Thursday night with a home run, but his greatest satisfaction was a two-out, full-count, RBI single to right field in the eighth in the Marlins’ 4-2 win over the Cubs at Marlins Park.

Facing a Reds bullpen susceptible to the home-run ball, Derek Norris’ three-run shot in a four-run sixth helped lift the Padres to a 7-4 victory on Thursday night at Great American Ball Park.

Jose Berrios was absolutely dominant in Triple-A Rochester’s 2-0 win over Columbus. Berrios (Twins’ No. 1) is the No. 15 overall prospect, and after his electric outing, it’s very clear why he’s so highly regarded.

Padres catcher Derek Norris didn’t get off to the start he or anyone else expected. A career .243 hitter, Norris saw his average hover around .180 through most of May and ended the month hitting .179.

The first weekend of summer is upon us, and with the boys of summer doing their thing all over the country, a matchup in the heart of Texas promises to provide plenty of sizzle. The Red Sox, fresh off a walkoff win over the White Sox at Fenway Park, travel to Arlington to take on the American League West-leading Rangers.

The Braves continued both their mastery of the Mets and their overall surge on Thursday, coming from behind to nab a 4-3 win over New York at Turner Field. Adonis Garcia hit a go-ahead two-run homer off Addison Reed in the eighth inning, giving the Braves their first lead of the night.

Noah Syndergaard, whose MRI revealed nothing more than right elbow inflammation, will start as scheduled Monday against the Nationals. And Yoenis Cespedes, who has a mild left wrist sprain, could return to the starting lineup as soon as Friday.

The active Beat the Streak leader advanced to 47 on Thursday and now sits 10 picks shy of the game’s $5.6 million grand prize.

He’s stolen our hearts, but he can steal bases too.

As teams scramble to add stretch-run reinforcements ahead of the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline, there is one significant player who will cost only money, rather than top prospects. That would be infielder Yulieski Gurriel, a longtime star in Cuba who was officially declared a free agent last week.

Xander Bogaerts hit a walk-off single in the 10th inning to score Mookie Betts as the Red Sox won a back-and-forth affair, 8-7, and avoided a four-game sweep against the White Sox at Fenway Park.

Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was roughed up in his Thursday night rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hall of Famer and President.
