You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Boston is making history right now, and it is something to witness. The Red Sox picked up a six to three win over Baltimore in Game one of a Wednesday doubleheader, tying the all-time franchise record with fifteen consecutive victories. Caleb Durbin got the offense moving, and this team just refuses to stop. Fifteen straight. The record is right there.
Meanwhile, Kansas City dropped three billion dollars worth of renderings on the world this week, unveiling plans for a new domed stadium. And look, the facility is going to be stunning, but it raises a real question about what the NFL is slowly trading away. Cold weather, open skies, genuine misery for the opposing offense — that is football. More domes means more comfort, and some would say less soul.
And in Kansas City's own backyard, the Royals are dealing with a significant blow. Shortstop Bobby Witt Junior, one of the best young players in the game, is heading to the injured list for the first time in his five-year career with lower back tightness. He has never missed time like this before, and Kansas City will feel every at-bat he sits out.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
