You're tuned into Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Jacob Misiorowski is doing something that almost no pitcher in baseball history has done. The Milwaukee Brewers ace reached two hundred strikeouts on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, getting there in just one hundred twenty-nine and a third innings — making him the second-fastest pitcher ever to hit that mark. He punched out Twins outfielder Alan Roden for strikeout number two hundred, and at this pace, the conversation around Misiorowski is only going to get louder.
Shifting to the NFL, the New Orleans Saints took a significant hit to their offensive line Sunday. Guard Dillon Radunz is done for the season after tearing his ACL. It's a brutal blow for a Saints team already navigating plenty of uncertainty heading into the year, and finding reliable interior line depth just became a lot more urgent for New Orleans.
And over in English football, Xabi Alonso's Chelsea wrapped up pre-season, and all eyes remain fixed on the new manager as he shapes his squad ahead of the Premier League campaign. Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo is closing in on a season-long loan move to Liverpool, with a fifty-five million euro purchase option attached — a potentially significant piece of business for Arne Slot's backline.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
