Kyle Schwarber put on a show at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, launching two home runs deep into the cornfield to push his major-league-leading total to thirty-seven on the season. The Phillies rolled past the Twins seven to one, and honestly, there is no better stage for Schwarber to be doing this kind of damage.
Shifting to football, the NFL preseason is officially alive, and Pittsburgh's rookie quarterback Drew Allar made a statement in his debut against Green Bay. Three touchdowns across three series of work — that is not a guy easing into the moment, that is a guy announcing himself. The Steelers have something worth watching here.
On a more sobering note out of Foxborough, Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury during Indianapolis's preseason opener against New England. Mason was caught on the sideline when the play spilled out of bounds, took contact despite trying to get clear, and went down hard. The Colts organization is monitoring the situation closely, and our thoughts are with him as he gets evaluated.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
