Sometimes, that happens.

Freddy Galvis gave a jolt to a struggling offense with a momentum-changing two-run home run that triggered the Phillies’ 6-2 comeback win over the reeling Marlins on Monday at Marlins Park.

In Monday’s 11-5 victory over the Twins, the Kansas City offense gave the back end of its bullpen a much-needed break with six late insurance runs, including four from Eric Hosmer, that turned a tense one-run game into a blowout by the eighth inning.

With three more homers against the Royals in Monday’s 11-5 loss, Brian Dozier is in some exclusive company as he became only the second Twins player to hit more than 35 homers in a season, joining Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew.

Though Masahiro Tanaka doesn’t nearly have the zip on the ball exhibited in the early part of his Major League career, he has remained injury-free and quietly putting together an outstanding season.

It’s hard to call the return of Yasiel Puig a success after just two games, but that didn’t stop manager Dave Roberts from saying Monday that Puig could begin to see starts against right-handers as well as left-handers.

Rockies left fielder Ryan Raburn left Monday’s 6-0 win over the Giants with a left foot contusion. He is day-to-day. Raburn appeared to foul a ball off his foot in his fifth-inning at-bat in which he struck out. He was removed before the top of the sixth inning for David Dahl.

Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis, pitching for Spokane in the short season Class A Northwest League, went five innings and 66 pitches in his third rehab start on Monday afternoon.

Miguel Montero has gone from being the Cubs’ regular catcher to a backup. Chris Coghlan was traded in February, then brought back. Joe Smith is just trying to make up for a bad first impression. And without them, the Cubs would have had a hard time beating the Brewers on Monday.

Enjoy your new lease on life, guy.

In an era where hard throwers and eye-popping velocity readings are standard, the pair of starters in Monday’s game between the Cubs and Brewers at Miller Park provided a change of pace in what has become the new norm. Right-handers Kyle Hendricks and Zach Davies brought two of the best changeups in baseball to the mound and flashed exactly why they have been so successful with the pitch in the Cubs’ 7-2 win.

For all of his struggles with command and inconsistency at Triple-A Louisville, credit Reds pitching prospect Robert Stephenson for being able to elevate his performance at the highest level. Of course, there was still room for improvement after Stephenson gave up two home runs during the Reds’ 5-0 loss to the Mets on Monday at Great American Ball Park.

Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Indians with left shoulder inflammation, manager A.J. Hinch said prior to Monday’s game against the Indians.

It happened without an audience and well in advance of first pitch, but for the first time since July 25, Trevor Rosenthal threw off the mound on Monday.

The Yankees placed outfielder Aaron Hicks on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Sept. 1, with a right hamstring strain.

Blue Jays left-hander Francisco Liriano exited Monday afternoon’s 5-3 loss to the Yankees after two innings of work because of tightness in his lower back.

For the fourth time this season, Kyle Hendricks started after a Cubs extra-inning game, and for the fourth time the right-hander picked up a win. Hendricks lowered his ERA to a Major League-leading 2.07 on Monday in the Cubs’ 7-2 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park.
