Spain is writing history in real time. With a one-nothing win over Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium, La Roja broke Italy's all-time unbeaten record, stretching their run to thirty-eight matches without a loss across twenty-nine wins and nine draws. That is a generational streak, full stop.
Shifting to baseball, and the Pittsburgh Pirates handed the Yankees a gift they didn't even need to unwrap. On what should have been a routine double play ball off Paul Goldschmidt's bat, Pittsburgh turned a simple ground out into an absolute disaster, gifting New York a crooked number in the first inning before the game even had a chance to breathe. Little League would have handled it cleaner.
And some tough news out of Miami, where the Marlins placed All-Star right-hander Max Meyer on the fifteen-day injured list with a neck strain. Meyer is being sent to a specialist, which never sounds encouraging. Pair that with Otto Lopez sitting out for a second straight game and the Marlins are suddenly dealing with some serious injury noise at the worst possible time.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
