The Baltimore Orioles are not holding back after Wednesday night's gut-punch against the Yankees. Pete Alonso crushed a ball deep to left that looked every bit like a home run, ruled foul on the field and upheld on review. The Orioles came out swinging at MLB's replay technology, calling it outdated and simply not good enough for moments this big. Hard to argue with them.
Shifting to the hardwood, Olivia Miles is doing things WNBA rookies just don't do. The Minnesota Lynx guard pulled out a sharp step-back three-pointer against the Golden State Valkyries Wednesday that had cameras rewinding and highlight reels updating in real time. She's not just breaking rookie records, she's rewriting the expectations for what a first-year player can look like.
And in MLS, Austin FC handed Seattle another loss, beating the Sounders two to one on the road Wednesday night. Facundo Torres and Guilherme Biro found the net, and goalkeeper Damian Las was steady in his MLS debut with five saves. For Seattle, the losing streak now sits at eight straight, the longest single-season skid in franchise history. That is a rough stretch for a club that expects better.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
