In Tampa Bay, Cedric Mullins put on an absolute show Friday night, going four for four with a homer, three singles, and a stolen base as the Rays handled the Marlins seven to two. Tampa has now won eleven of their last thirteen games and is sitting firmly atop the AL East, looking every bit like a team that means business.
Shifting to the injury front, Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol has hit another wall on his road back. The hard-throwing right-hander, who hasn't taken the mound since last October's World Series, has been pulled from his rehab assignment after his back flared up again. Imaging and further evaluation are ahead, and the timeline for his return is now completely unclear.
And in the NBA playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves squared off in a Game six elimination showdown Friday night, with San Antonio pushing for a series victory and Minnesota fighting to stay alive and force a Game seven. High stakes, no margin for error, exactly what second-round playoff basketball is supposed to feel like.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
