You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
In Los Angeles, Justin Wrobleski was absolutely dealing. The young left-hander held Philadelphia to one hit over seven dominant innings, and the Dodgers backed him up with four solo home runs in a four to two win. That's six straight for LA, and this team is rolling with real conviction right now.
Meanwhile, Canada's Stanley Cup drought just got a little more painful. The Montreal Canadiens fell to the Carolina Hurricanes, stretching the wait for a Canadian champion to thirty-three years. Thirty-three. The last time a Canadian franchise hoisted that trophy, grunge was on the radio and the internet barely existed. The drought is real, and it is brutal.
And in Denver, the Colorado Rockies did something nobody saw coming. Down late against San Francisco, Hunter Goodman and Ezequiel Tovar went back-to-back in a five-run ninth inning to stun the Giants eight to six. The Rockies have had a rough season but tonight they reminded everyone that baseball doesn't care about your record when the ninth inning rolls around.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
