You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.
Pete Alonso is making himself right at home in Baltimore. The first baseman went yard twice Sunday in Arlington, driving in four runs as the Orioles rolled past the Rangers ten to five. It snapped a three-game skid for Baltimore, and Alonso's two-homer performance was his first multi-shot game since joining the club.
Over in LIV Golf, Joaquin Niemann put on a clinic at Bedminster, closing with a two-under sixty-nine to win LIV New York by three shots. That's nine career LIV victories for Niemann in just three years, cementing his status as the circuit's most consistent winner. Jon Rahm struggled badly, shooting a seventy-six and tying for forty-first, but it didn't matter — he still clinched his third consecutive season points title, a remarkable run since leaving the PGA Tour.
And some injury news out of Miami — Marlins first baseman Kyle Stowers left Sunday's blowout win over the Angels after tweaking his left hamstring. Stowers will undergo further evaluation, and with the Marlins already navigating a tough stretch, the timing couldn't be worse for a club that needs every healthy body it can get.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
