You're listening to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Angel Reese is under the microscope tonight after a slow-motion replay of a recent foul is circulating fast across WNBA circles, and fans are not holding back. The footage has gone viral, with many calling the contact far more deliberate than it appeared in real time, and league discipline may be coming.
Shifting to baseball, Samuel Basallo made an immediate statement in Baltimore's win over Cincinnati Saturday night. The nineteen-year-old slugger launched a three-run shot in the very first inning off Hunter Greene, his fourteenth of the season, and the Orioles never looked back, rolling to an eight to five victory. Gunnar Henderson extended his hitting streak to ten games in the process.
And over in Tampa Bay, Junior Caminero is doing something that simply does not happen very often. The Rays third baseman has now gone deep in eleven consecutive games, connecting on home run number eleven in eleven, and has earned his second straight American League All-Star Game starting nod, becoming the first player in franchise history to pull that off back to back.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
