Jacob Misiorowski was absolutely dealing Monday night. The Brewers ace struck out twelve Cardinals batters, carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and crossed one hundred miles per hour on more than half of his fifty-seven fastballs. That is not a pitcher in a groove, that is a pitcher on a different planet.
Shifting to a much darker story out of the Dominican Republic, Wander Franco was declared criminally responsible by a Dominican judge for the sexual and psychological abuse of a minor. The ruling is significant, but Franco will serve no jail time. It is a verdict that will continue to draw scrutiny and raises serious questions about accountability in and out of sport.
And crossing the Atlantic to Roland Garros, Great Britain's Katie Boulter gutted out a first-round win at the French Open, defeating American wildcard Akasha Urhobo in what was described as a gruelling battle on clay. For context, Boulter only won her first WTA Tour match on clay last year at twenty-eight years old, so every match she earns on this surface is hard-fought ground.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
