You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Baltimore is making a statement. The Orioles have agreed to a five-year, ninety-million-dollar extension with right-hander Kyle Bradish, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. That's a significant commitment to a young arm at the front of their rotation, and it signals that Baltimore is serious about contending for years to come.
Shifting to the diamond in Denver, the Colorado Rockies rolled past the Cincinnati Reds ten to three behind a dominant performance from Tomoyuki Sugano in his return from the injured list. Sugano went six and a third innings, walked nobody, and looked completely unbothered by the back issues that sidelined him. TJ Rumfield added a two-run homer as part of a four-hit night to put it away.
And one of the better moments you'll see all season happened at Wrigley Field, where retired first baseman Anthony Rizzo was in the bleachers for a ceremony honoring the two thousand sixteen Cubs championship team. Current first baseman Michael Busch hit a solo home run, and Rizzo, still in the stands, reached out and snagged it. The baton passed and caught in the same motion.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
