Kevin Gausman wasted no time making an impression in Chicago. The two-time All-Star, acquired from Toronto just days ago, delivered seven strong innings in his Cubs debut, leading Chicago to a six to four win over Kansas City. The Royals had to be wishing that makeup game against the Blue Jays had happened instead.
Over in Phoenix, Merrill Kelly was dealing Friday night, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth against the Dodgers before things unraveled in a hurry. Tommy Edman broke it up with an infield single, and then Kelly was pulled with cramping in his right leg. A tough exit for a pitcher who was absolutely locked in through five.
And sixty thousand plus fans packed Lambeau Field for the Packers' annual Family Night, giving Green Bay's roster a chance to perform under the lights in front of a full house. It wasn't always clean — penalties and sloppy execution showed this team still has work to do — but for young players getting their first taste of an NFL atmosphere, the experience was priceless.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
