## Resource

Welcome back, Daylight Burners. Happy Sunday – Monday’s staring us down again – but it’s weekly recap time for Burnin’ Daylight Baseball. Jake was at the Tigers game getting lit up while Detroit was rolling, the A’s and Rockies gave us a little heartburn, and we’re a month into the season with some things starting to feel real. We kick off with a full Sunday scoreboard: Astros–Red Sox in extras, Mets snapping out of free fall against the even‑more‑free‑fall Angels, Twins finally picking one up over the Blue Jays, Dodgers stopping the bleeding in St. Louis, Cubs extending their home streak, Braves finishing a sweep in Coors, Pirates walking off the Reds 1–0, plus the rest of a packed slate. R/H/E, who shoved, who got shelled, and where the “AI is lazy” box scores came up short. Then it’s standings and storylines:– Yankees and Braves looking like the class of each league.– AL Central with Guardians and Tigers tied up, only Detroit in the black on run differential.– A’s somehow two games clear in the AL West despite a negative run diff.– NL Central with every team over .500 and the Pirates flipping the whole thing by sweeping the Reds.– NL West with Dodgers/Padres on top, D‑backs and Rockies streaky, Giants just flat‑out bad. We close with homer segments: Tigers as a real‑ish first‑place team, the “dummies” leading the AL West out of West Sac, and Rockies sitting at “not terrible” after running into the Braves buzzsaw.
