In Dallas, the Cowboys made it official — defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is staying put on a massive one hundred million dollar extension. But the real headline came from co-owner Stephen Jones, who took a pointed shot at past defensive stars, suggesting the franchise finally has the anchor it's been missing. That noise you hear? That's Micah Parsons, watching his leverage quietly evaporate.
Meanwhile in Phoenix, Nolan Arenado made his former team pay in the worst way possible. The veteran third baseman crushed a grand slam in the first inning against Colorado, his eighth career slam, and the Diamondbacks never looked back in a nine to nothing blowout. Arizona moves eight games above five hundred for the first time all season — and Arenado looked very comfortable with that decision to leave.
And over in Atlanta, Kodai Senga picked up the first save of his career closing out the Mets eight to five win over the Braves — but rookie Carson Benge accidentally tossed the keepsake ball into the crowd before Senga could grab it. Senga wanted that ball. The crowd wanted that ball more. Rookies, man.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
