Speaking personally: while I can appreciate that Germán was impressive tonight, that obviously doesn't change what he's done. His 81-game suspension beginning in 2019 was one of the longest under the league's domestic violence policy, and that's not something I take lightly.

The #Angels bullpen may be part of the reason we got 12 glorious innings of baseball today, but they pushed through to complete a sweep of the A's. Here's a look at how L.A. has used its 'pen after a bit of post-Deadline shuffling:

Post-Deadline 'pen a big part of Angels' sweep

OAKLAND -- Magneuris Sierra called game in extra innings -- twice. The first time he knocked in a go-ahead run for the Angels, the A's responded in the bottom of the 10th inning to keep the game...

That's eight shutout innings for Nate Eovaldi for the third game in a row. He joins Martín Pérez (2014) and Charlie Hough (1983) as the only #Rangers pitchers with three consecutive starts of eight-plus scoreless innings.

#SFGiants manager Gabe Kapler noted that the coming days should be "a good opportunity" for Austin Wynns with several projected opposing lefty starters. Over at Triple-A Sacramento, Joey Bart is catching six innings today and Gary Sanchez is DHing today and catching tomorrow.

This Austin Hays home run didn't come down ... literally. (It got stuck in the foul pole.) The #Orioles ' first hit off Ken Waldichuk evens it up at 1-1 in the top of the fourth.

#WhiteSox Dylan Cease's second-inning strikeout of Oakland's Cristian Pache was his 200th of the season. This is his second season with at least 200 punchouts (226 in 2021).

Austin Slater just laid out for this play on a Will Benson fly ball to preserve Alex Cobb's no-hit bid through eight innings. Call stands upon review. The #Reds are down to their last three outs.

#Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said the team is "starting to turn the corner" when it comes to injuries. Multiple players will likely begin a rehab assignment this week, including Esteury Ruiz.

Spending my 4th of July listening to an Eagles cover band in the park with my parents. There's a pickup wiffle ball game going on nearby. One kid got plunked and charged the mound, then ran from there to first. The pitcher followed him and retaliated. The American Dream, folks.

Zack Gelof got his first Major League hit, an RBI double off the top of the right-field wall that tied the game at 2-2 (before Jace Peterson put the #Athletics ahead on a sac fly).

Resilience, in many senses, has been a defining quality of the 2023 #Rangers . On a day when they lost another All-Star to the injured list, they grinded out a full-team effort for their seventh straight win:
