You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Luke Littler is doing something that the darts world genuinely thought was impossible. The Nuke is on the hunt for a Nuclear Slam — a clean sweep of every PDC major — and what was once dismissed as fantasy is now being spoken about in serious terms, including by Littler himself. The kid is rewriting what this sport thinks is achievable.
Over in baseball, Baltimore delivered one of the wildest comebacks you'll see all season, rallying from seven runs down to beat Detroit ten to nine in twelve innings. Jackson Holliday drove in three and Colton Cowser delivered the decisive blow — and this all came on a night that may have been Tarik Skubal's final start in a Tigers uniform. Brutal timing for Detroit.
Then in the National League, Ivan Herrera ended it in style for St. Louis, lashing a walk-off two-run double in the tenth to lift the Cardinals past the Cubs and snap a three-game skid. Three-run rally in the final frame, Herrera the hero — exactly the kind of moment a struggling club needed to breathe again.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
