Myles Garrett is making his case loud and clear — the Cleveland pass rusher is now the betting favorite to take home Defensive Player of the Year honors, and honestly, it's hard to argue. When you're consistently wrecking offensive lines the way Garrett does, the hardware tends to follow.
Shifting to the pitch, the USMNT gets its biggest pre-tournament test yet, squaring off against Germany at Soldier Field in Chicago in their official send-off match ahead of the two thousand twenty six FIFA World Cup. The Americans are riding momentum off a strong showing against Senegal, but Germany comes in unbeaten in their last four, and they're the favorite even on American soil. This one means something.
And in Minnesota, Royce Lewis is back in the big leagues after absolutely punishing minor league pitching to the tune of a one-point-three-oh-three OPS. The Twins designated a former Dodgers outfielder to clear the roster spot, and Lewis wasted no time reminding everyone what a healthy version of him looks like. The Twins needed this.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
