In Boston, the Athletics put a stop to something special. The Red Sox were chasing history, looking to become the first team to rip off two winning streaks of ten or more games in a single season, but Oakland had other plans, handing Boston a seven to three loss on Saturday and shutting that door for good.
Shifting to the octagon, Darren Elkins walked into his retirement fight and walked out in thirty-five seconds flat. Cuban featherweight Yadier del Valle connected with a left hand at UFC Vegas one twenty that was as clean as it was brutal, sending Elkins to the canvas and ending a career on the harshest possible note.
And in Kansas City, Jac Caglianone put on an absolute show at Kauffman Stadium. The young Royal launched a home run in the first inning against the Cubs and kept right on rolling, finishing with twelve or more total bases in the game, the first Royal to do that since Lorenzo Cain's legendary three-homer performance years back.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
