Pastries caused Aroldis Chapman's meltdown: Report

Announcer: Sweets sunk Chapman Sunday

Aroldis Chapman saved the Reds' win over the Mets on Monday, one day after an uncharacteristic blown save against Philadelphia. According to a Spanish-language broadcaster for the Phillies, the Reds' closer's sweet tooth may have helped to derail him.

Fantasy Focus: Buy Or Sell

ESPN's Cary Chow and Eric Karabell discuss if you should buy or sell on players such as Jurickson Profar, and Oswaldo Arcia.

A Shocker In Philadelphia

From Elias: Aroldis Chapman allowed back-to-back home runs for the first time in his career when Erik Kratz hit a game-tying solo shot with one out in the ninth inning and Freddy Galvis followed that with a walk-off round-tripper that gave the Phillies a 3-2 win over the Reds. It was the second game in the majors this season that was won in walk-off fashion with back-to-back home runs, and the Reds were the victors in the other game of that kind. (Devin Mesoraco and Shin-Soo Choo went belly-to-belly off Craig Kimbrel to cap a Cincinnati win on May 7.) There were only two major-league games over the past seven seasons (2006-2012) that ended with back-to-back home runs. The Phillies hadn't hit back-to-back home runs capped by a walk-off shot since they did it against the Cardinals at Baker Bowl on September 15, 1922. Butch Henline's solo shot, his third home run of the game, tied the score at 9-9 in the bottom of the ninth and Cliff Lee (no, not the pitcher) followed Henline with a game-ending homer.

Weekend wrap: Here comes Profar!

A quick warning about Jurickson Profar's call to the majors to replace the disabled Ian Kinsler: Do not expect Mike Trout; do not expect Bryce Harper; do not expect Manny Machado.

Pastries to blame for Chapman's implosion?
