In the Bronx, the Yankees sent a message loud and clear — Cam Schlittler was untouchable on the mound, and Ben Rice made sure his hometown Red Sox felt every bit of it, launching a late grand slam in a dominant nine-to-nothing Game one blowout. New York holds a one-nothing series lead.
Shifting to the hardwood, Caitlin Clark put on a performance for the history books Tuesday night. She became the first player in WNBA history to record a points-assists double-double in the first half of a playoff game, finishing with twenty-seven points and fifteen assists as Indiana knocked off Las Vegas eighty-nine to ninety-nine and forced a decisive Game three. The Fever are alive.
And on the track, Kenya's Sabastian Sawe is already looking beyond the barrier he just broke. The thirty-one-year-old ran one hour fifty-nine minutes and thirty seconds in London back in April, becoming the first human to crack two hours in the marathon — and now he says even that wasn't the ceiling. No limits, he says, and right now nobody's arguing.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
