Salvador Perez made history in Kansas City on Saturday, launching his three hundred eighteenth career home run to surpass George Brett as the Royals' all-time franchise leader. Perez now stands third among active players who've spent their entire career with one club, and the Royals walked away with a three to two win over Detroit to make it sweeter.
Meanwhile in New York, the Mets took a significant hit to their lineup as Juan Soto lands on the ten-day injured list with a left calf strain. Soto has been the engine of that offense, and his absence puts real pressure on a Mets club fighting to stay relevant deep into the summer stretch. They'll need contributions up and down the roster while he recovers.
And the story that has the NFL buzzing — Aaron Donald may not be done. Rams head coach Sean McVay says the all-time great defensive tackle is putting himself through a strict, regimented process as he weighs a return to the field. McVay used the word excited, and when Sean McVay gets excited about a player, Los Angeles tends to get very dangerous very fast.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
