How much do Yankees fans want to see Aaron Judge tie the AL home run record? Some of them were actually rooting for the Red Sox to rally in the 9th inning yesterday since it would have meant another at-bat for Judge.
The moment was so unusual it caught the attention of Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who said one Yankees fan told him: "Let's go! First time I've ever said it, but, let's go Red Sox!"
Think it's safe to say those same Yankees fans will return to rooting against Boston when the two rivals match up again tonight.
Jacob deGrom's MLB-record streak of 40 games with three or fewer earned runs allowed that dated back to Sept. 3, 2019, was snapped yesterday when the A's tagged him for 5 earned runs in only 4 innings.
Albert Pujols has homered off an AL/NL record 455 pitchers, but none more than Ryan Dempster, who served up 8 of the 700 HRs Pujols has hit. Dempster also, we must note, struck out Pujols TWICE.
The Braves are just 1 1/2 games back of the Mets in the closest division race left to be settled, the Padres leapfrogged the Phils into the 2nd NL Wild Card and the Jays are sitting atop the Wild Card in the AL.
Anticipation continues to build for the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Especially at loanDepot park, which will become the first venue in tournament history to host games in all three rounds in the same year.
The States Play Invitational at Chase Field allows the stars of tomorrow the chance to experience the thrill of playing at a big league ballpark, and the feeling, as one player said, was, "very surreal and awesome."
