Shohei Ohtani turned in a monster outing Friday night against San Diego, throwing a season-high one hundred ten pitches before his right biceps tightened up on a swing in the seventh inning. The Dodgers are keeping him out of the lineup Saturday as a precaution, and you can bet Los Angeles is watching this one very closely.
Meanwhile in Boston, Aroldis Chapman made history Friday night, surpassing Hoyt Wilhelm to become the all-time strikeout leader among relievers in major league history. One thousand three hundred sixty-four career punchouts — a number that belongs to Chapman alone now, and it's a record that may stand for a very long time.
And on the world stage, Cape Verde's run at the two thousand twenty-six World Cup is over, but what a story they wrote getting there. The Blue Sharks went unbeaten through the group stage in their very first World Cup appearance, held Spain, scored against Uruguay, and pushed reigning world champions Argentina all the way to extra time. Remarkable.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
