Alex Rodriguez padded his record for most grand slams in MLB history Tuesday night, when he crushed the ball just right of center field for a go-ahead blast.

The Boston Red Sox are in the middle of a disappointing season, but their future looks much brighter with the addition of Dave Dombrowski as the new president of baseball operations, which Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported Tuesday.

The San Diego Padres made more noise in the offseason with a number of splashy additions than they have at any point during the 2015 campaign, so they elected to get younger and add some depth to their farm system Tuesday in the form of catcher Marcus Greene Jr.

MLB.com noted that San Diego acquired Greene Jr. and a player to be named later from the Texas Rangers for veteran outfielder Will Venable.

The Texas Rangers need outfield depth for the season’s stretch run as Josh Hamilton deals with a lingering knee injury, and they acquired some Tuesday in the form of Will Venable.

The New York Mets' pitching staff will be missing a piece for a short period of time as Bartolo Colon will take a leave of absence from the team. 

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence was out of Tuesday's lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals with a left oblique injury, according to Carl Steward of the San Jose Mercury News.

And Father of the Year goes to…not this guy.

After Albert Pujols bombed a second-inning home run to left field Monday night, this Los Angeles Angels fan did all he physically could to reel in the ball. At the last second, the ball squirted out of his mitt, and the usher burned him by tossing it to someone else.

Thing is, something much more important nearly slipped out—the baby in his right arm.

On Monday night, Christopher Duffley, a blind and autistic 14-year-old from New Hampshire, showed off his musical talents at Fenway Park on behalf of Autism Speaks as the Boston Red Sox hosted the Cleveland Indians.

The crowd loved him.

The Boston Red Sox acquired Alejandro De Aza from the Baltimore Orioles in June, but the outfielder could be on the move again before the season’s stretch run.

Monday, Aug. 17

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports noted Monday that the Los Angeles Dodgers talked to the Red Sox about De Aza’s availability as a potential alternative to trading for Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Just as their adorable matching jerseys tell us, Carol and Warren Reckmeyer have been married since 1952.

Carol is a huge San Francisco Giants fan, and her 92-year-old husband deeply loves the St. Louis Cardinals.

What happens when their teams play each other, just as they did Monday night when the Birds took home a 2-1 victory?

“We make a truce,” Carol said laughing, per Scott Leber of MyStateLine.com.
