In the NBA playoffs, Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks bring a one-nothing series lead into tonight's Eastern Conference second round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tip-off is set for seven o'clock at Madison Square Garden, with New York favored by six and a half. The Knicks have been the sharper team, and Philadelphia needs a response badly.
Shifting to the diamond, the New York Yankees swept the Baltimore Orioles in four games, and Aaron Judge was the story — a two-run blast in the first inning, four runs batted in, reaching base three times. The Bronx was also heavy-hearted, the team playing through the loss of the legendary voice John Sterling. Judge and company made sure the win was worthy of the moment.
And out in Anaheim, Munetaka Murakami is making a serious case to be one of baseball's most compelling power hitters right now. The Chicago White Sox outfielder went three for three, scored three runs, and crushed his fourteenth home run of the season to back Davis Martin in a shutout victory over the Angels. Murakami is quietly putting together a remarkable stretch.
That's your play-by-play.
