A'ja Wilson is making her case for a fifth MVP in seven years, and the WNBA race is heating up fast. Olivia Miles is pushing hard, Caitlin Clark is lurking, and Paige Bueckers isn't going anywhere either. The next few weeks could reshape this conversation entirely.
Shifting to the diamond, Drew Rasmussen was absolutely locked in Friday night, throwing seven scoreless innings as the Tampa Bay Rays edged the Seattle Mariners two to one. Jonny DeLuca and company did just enough offensively to back up a masterclass performance from the All-Star right-hander.
And on the mound Saturday, it does not get much bigger than this — Chris Sale facing Gerrit Cole, Atlanta against New York. Sale has been thriving on extra rest, and the Braves are riding that rhythm heading into what should be one of the most compelling pitching matchups of the weekend across Major League Baseball.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
