You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Austin Wells made history in the Bronx on Sunday, and it's the kind of history that sticks. The Yankees catcher came off the bench in a sixteen to one blowout win, delivered a sacrifice fly in the sixth, then did something in the eighth inning that no player in major league baseball history had ever done before. The details are still unfolding, but the record books have been updated and Wells' name is in them permanently.
Staying in baseball, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs is having himself a summer for the ages. The young outfielder launched a home run this August that hadn't been done in thirty-two years, putting him in rare company and giving Chicago fans something to genuinely believe in down the stretch of what's shaping up to be a fascinating National League race.
And over in Detroit, the Tigers are making moves before a critical series against Minnesota, promoting an infield prospect for his major league debut. There's nothing quite like a first call-up, and Detroit is betting this kid can contribute immediately as they try to stay relevant in a tight AL Central picture.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
