Sept. 17, 2019: Blue Jays 8, Orioles 5
Cavan Biggio becomes the third player in Blue Jays history to hit for the cycle, joining Jeff Frye (2001) and Kelly Gruber (1989). Biggio’s face as he rounds second base and heads for third on his triple is one of the 2019 season’s best shots.

Kevin Pillar stole second base, third base and then home in the eighth inning, one of the most exciting plays of the 2018 season in just the third game.
June 25, 2018: Blue Jays 6, Astros 3
This game featured two home runs from Curtis Granderson and a battle between J.A. Happ and Justin Verlander on the mound, but it’s best remembered for a tense ninth inning in which Randal Grichuk robbed George Springer of a game-tying home run with an incredible catch at the wall.

Aug. 17, 2019: Brewers 15, Nationals 14
Christian Yelich homered -- No. 40 -- as part of a three-homer, four-run ninth inning for a 12-11 Brewers lead, only to see the Nationals come back to tie it up against Josh Hader. Yelich homered again in the 13th for a 13-12 lead, only to see the Nats come back again. Finally, in the 14th, the Brewers scored twice and this time held off another Nats surge.
June 27, 2019: Dodgers 12, Rockies 8
The Dodgers overcame a shaky Coors Field start from Walker Buehler (seven runs) with a six-homer onslaught -- two by Max Muncy -- for their 12th consecutive win over Colorado.
July 25, 2019: Orioles 10, Angels 8
The Orioles and Angels had been engaged in a marathon, 6-hour, 16-inning, back-and-forth affair when things went from simply weird to historic. That's because of who closed the game -- outfielder Stevie Wilkerson, who recorded a 1-2-3 bottom of the 16th throwing nothing but mid-50 mph floaters to record the first save by a position player in MLB history.
July 12, 2019: Rangers 9, Astros 8
The Rangers scored five runs in the last three innings to erase the Astros' 8-4 lead. The Rangers hit five home runs in this game, including three off Astros starter Gerrit Cole.
June 23, 2019: Pirates 11, Padres 10
Former manager Clint Hurdle called this “one of the best wins that I’ve watched in nine years here,” and it was a wild one. Down three in the ninth against a closer who hadn’t blown a save all season, the Pirates rallied to force extra innings. Down three again in the 11th, they battled back -- and then all of a sudden rookie shortstop Kevin Newman was at the plate, working a walk-off walk to cap the Bucs’ fourth straight win.
