In New York, Jets quarterback Geno Smith was scratched from the team's preseason opener Friday with an injury, but the news isn't as bad as it sounds. The ailment is considered minor and Smith is listed as day-to-day, giving the fanbase some room to breathe heading into the regular season.
Shifting to the diamond, Jeff McNeil put on a show for the Athletics, going four for four with three RBIs including a go-ahead home run as Oakland pulled away from Texas eight to three. McNeil's career night sparked a dominant performance from the A's offense, and that win looks good in the standings right now.
And out in San Francisco, the Colorado Rockies made some noise with Zac Veen sending one splashing into the Bay and Kyle Freeland dealing eight innings of four-hit ball. Freeland was locked in from the jump, and Veen's power stroke is turning heads as Colorado opens this three-game set with a statement win over the Giants.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
