Isaac Collins' 3-run homer eases Brewers past Braves
Priester (11-2) won his fifth consecutive start, allowing just one run on two hits, while striking out four and walking two. The Brewers mustered just three hits, but Collins' 376-foot homer to right field was enough to help the club post its seventh win in eight tries. In the ninth, closer Trevor Megill needed just seven pitches to retire the Braves in order, picking up his 25th save.
Erick Fedde (3-12) surrendered three runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out none. Jurickson Profar homered and walked twice, but the Braves fell to 5-11 after the All-Star break.
Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, as Profar clubbed Priester's first pitch of the game for his fourth home run of the season.
Fedde hit William Contreras on a 3-2 pitch to begin the top of the fourth, before Andrew Vaughn singled and Christian Yelich grounded into a force out. Collins then connected on his seventh homer of the year to give the Brewers a 3-1 edge.
After walking Contreras and retiring Vaughn in the sixth, Fedde was replaced by Aaron Bummer, who threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
Priester retired the final seven Braves batters he faced, before he was relieved by Abner Uribe in the bottom of the eighth. Pinch-hitter Marcell Ozuna walked to open the frame and Matt Olson laced a one-out single, but Uribe got Drake Baldwin to line out and Sean Murphy to fly out to the warning track to escape the jam.

Leagues Cup roundup: Unbeaten Toluca knock out NYFCF
August 6 - Paulinho scored his fourth goal of the tournament in the 39th minute and Toluca again came from behind to earn a 2-1 road victory over New York City FC on Matchday 3 of Leagues Cup opening-phase play on Tuesday. Jesus Angulo recorded his second of the tournament in the 37th minute for Toluca (2-0-1, 8 points), which moved momentarily to the top of the standings on the Liga MX side. Four Mexican teams and four MLS teams will earn quarterfinal berths. Alonso Martinez scored his second goal of the tournament for New York City FC (1-2-0, 3 points), which was eliminated with the defeat. The Cityzens became the second straight Leagues Cup opponent to lose to Toluca after scoring first, and the third to drop points. Crew 1, Club Leon 0 Max Arfsten scored early in the second half to give host Columbus a victory against already eliminated Leon. Patrick Schulte made four saves to keep his first tournament clean sheet to go with two so far during the MLS regular season. That was enough to push the Crew (2-0-1, 7 points) for the moment to the top of the MLS side of the standings. But as of the final whistle, eight sides still had the chance to surpass Columbus in their final opening-phase matches. Leon (0-2-1, 1 point) went their last 259 minutes of play without scoring after Rogelio Funes Mori's early strike in a 1-1 draw against CF Montreal on Matchday 1. CF Pachuca 2, Houston Dynamo 1 Gaston Togni's 85th-minute winner lifted visiting Pachuca momentarily to second in the Liga MX standings. Luis Quinones gave the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup winners the lead in the 23rd minute as the Tuzos (2-0-1, 7 points) tried to prolong their bid for another continental honor. Amine Bassi pulled Houston (0-3-0, 0 points) level from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute on a foul awarded by referee Adonis Carrasco following video review. However, Togni's goal came only three minutes later. It was enough to secure victory against Dynamo, who have scored one goal or fewer in 10 of their past 11 matches in all competitions. Puebla 2, CF Montreal 1 Ricardo Marin scored in the 73rd minute as visiting Puebla eventually seized on a lengthy numerical advantage to rally past Montreal and keep their knockout phase hopes alive. Emiliano Gomez added his second goal of the tournament for Puebla (2-1-0, 6 points) earlier in the second half after seeing his first-half penalty kick saved. Montreal's Joel Waterman was sent off for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity on the foul that led to the penalty. However, Prince Owusu scored his second goal of the tournament early in the second half to briefly give CF Montreal (0-2-1, 2 points) the lead on a night when their elimination became official. Both teams finished with 10 men when Raul Castillo received his second caution in second-half stoppage time. --Field Level Media

Zach Littell delivers strong Reds debut in win over Cubs
August 6 - Spencer Steer belted a three-run homer and Zack Littell tossed seven strong innings in his Cincinnati debut, fueling the visiting Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Steer had an RBI single in the fifth inning and launched his 13th homer of the season to snap a 1-1 tie in the seventh. Miguel Andujar joined Steer, Jose Trevino and TJ Friedl by recording two hits and Santiago Espinal added a sacrifice fly to propel Cincinnati to its second straight victory to begin the three-game series. The offense was more than enough for Littell (9-8), who allowed one run on three hits and struck out eight batters. He was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays prior to the trade deadline last week. Littell's lone blemish was Matt Shaw's solo homer with one out in the fifth inning. Graham Ashcraft, Sam Moll and Tony Santillan combined to work the final two innings to send the Cubs to their third loss in four games. Andrew Kittredge (2-3) relieved starter Shota Imanaga in the seventh inning and promptly walked Austin Hays and permitted Andujar's single to left field. Steer provided the big blast by depositing a 2-1 slider from Kittredge over the wall in left-center field. Cincinnati wasn't done, however, as Noelvi Marte ripped a double and came around to score following a single by Trevino and a sacrifice fly from Espinal. That signaled the end of the evening for Kittredge, who yielded four runs on four hits in one-third of an inning. Andujar ripped a ground-rule double with one out in the fifth inning off Shota Imanaga before coming around to score on Steer's single just inside the left-field line. Shaw forged a tie after depositing a 0-2 fastball from Littell over the wall in left-center field. The homer was Shaw's seventh of the season and fifth since July 19, and it was the majors-leading 27th allowed by Littell. Imanaga retired the first nine batters he faced before Friedl reached on a bunt single to lead off the fourth inning. Imanaga, however, picked off Friedl when the latter strayed too far off first base. --Field Level Media
