There was only a half-slate of games on Monday, but they produced plenty of social-media-worthy moments. Two National League contenders, the Phillies and Brewers played a four-hour game that was decided in strange fashion. The Angels welcomed back Shohei Ohtani’s home-run swing. The Astros kept rolling. The Mariners broke a losing streak with a walk-off victory. And the Twins … well, they lost, but they had some fun doing it.

After a nearly hour-long rain delay, the Phillies and Brewers proceeded to play one of the season’s longest nine-inning games. Of all things, a strikeout-wild pitch to start a seventh-inning rally decided it.

The nation of Japan watches every time Shohei Ohtani bats. It has become apparent the rest of our nation should be watching, too.

The Astros keep on winning. A day after going 5-for-5, George Springer made a great catch at the wall in a victory over the Tigers.

The Mariners had lost four games in a row and 12 of their past 14, and they were down to their final strike a couple of times in this one. Then, walk-off magic.

Not sure what’s going on here, but it’s cool to watch. So check out the Twins and a sunflower seed shower in all of its glory.
