Marlins 6, Rockies 2: J.T. Realmuto hit a grand slam during a five-run seventh inning for Miami. The Marlins stopped a three-game skid and ended the Rockies' winning streak at four.

The last Reds pitcher to hit a grand slam was Bob Purkey against the Cubs on Aug. 1, 1959.

Cardinals 3, Brewers 2: Yadier Molina homered twice to back a strong start by Miles Mikoas and lift St. Louis to a victory. Molina's two-run homer in the sixth inning off reliever Jeremy Jeffress gave St. Louis the lead and the Cardinals held on behind the pitching of Mikolas and four relievers.
