Aroldis Chapman etched his name into baseball history Sunday, recording his four hundredth career save as the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Chapman joins just eight other players ever to reach that milestone, and at forty-one years old, the man is still closing doors.
The celebration in Boston comes with a cost, though. Outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela has been placed on the ten-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain. Rafaela had been a spark plug in that lineup, so this one stings for a Red Sox club riding momentum heading into the stretch run.
Shifting to the gridiron, the New York Giants have locked up backup quarterback Jameis Winston on a two-year, thirteen million dollar extension. It's a clear signal that New York wants stability behind center and sees Winston as more than a clipboard holder. Whether he gets a shot to start remains the real question hanging over Big Blue.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
