The New York Yankees are making history, and not the kind they want. In a six to four loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, the Yankees struck out seventeen times, becoming the first team in American League history to reach that mark in back to back nine-inning games. Whatever is happening in that lineup right now, it is a genuine crisis.
Flip the script entirely and head to Kansas City, where Tyler Tolbert just etched his name into the record books. The Royals outfielder tied a major league record with hits in twelve consecutive plate appearances, capping the streak with an infield single in a wild sixteen to twelve win over the Mets Tuesday night. Twelve at bats, twelve hits — that kind of contact is almost impossible to comprehend.
And over in Miami, the Heat are dreaming big after landing Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the asset cupboard is looking pretty bare. Reports suggest their odds of adding Kevin Durant are essentially nonexistent, and projections now have them missing out on LeBron James entirely, with a seventy three million dollar All-Star emerging as the more realistic offseason target.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
