Major League Baseball is big business, but baseball is still a kid’s game.

Brewers shortstop Willy Adames met his boyhood hero, played card games during a rain delay, legged out a Little League home run and even made a couple of mistakes in Milwaukee’s 9-2 win over the Yankees on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

The Brewers are scoring in bunches and getting stellar relief at the most serious juncture of the season, but Adames’ pregame glee after a meeting with Derek Jeter reminded everyone that this is also meant to be fun.

The Blue Jays and D-backs pulled out big winsto gain ground in their respective Wild Card races.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. often scores a run by hitting the ball over the fence, but he found a more creative way to get the job done yesterday with a nifty swim move on a play at the plate.

Jose Altuve is putting together maybe his best season at the plate since winning the AL MVP Award in 2017, but he is doing it in a different way.

Usually when you see a play scored 4-6-3, it’s a double play. In this case, it was a bit of creativity as Michael Massey’s glove flip to Bobby Witt Jr. highlighted yesterday’s best defense.

Look back at all of the big moments from the past week at noon ET on MLB Network.
