On today’s episode …

 

ACT 1: THE BIG STORIES (0:56-5:38)

The Dodgers will be without two of their stars for a while as Mookie Betts suffered a fractured hand on a hit-by-pitch and Yoshinobu Yamamoto is dealing with a strained rotator cuff. A bright spot in their win over the Royals? Shohei Ohtani went deep twice. Also, the Red Sox swiped a club-record nine bases against the Yankees, and Reds speedster Elly De La Cruz scored all the way from second on an errant pickoff throw.

 

ACT 2: WHIPAROUND (5:40-8:23)

Elsewhere around the league, Gunnar Henderson hit his Majors-best eighth leadoff homer of the season for the Orioles, Ronel Blanco, who has the lone no-hitter so far this season, tossed seven no-hit innings for the Astros before being pulled after 94 pitches vs. the Tigers, and rookie Pedro Pagés (with his dad in the stands on Father’s Day) homered to push the Cards past the Cubs.

 

 

ACT 3: LOOKING AHEAD (8:24-9:46)

Today’s must-see game is a big one. Pirates phenom Paul Skenes – sporting his 102 mph fastball and unique splinker – makes the seventh start of his young career as the Bucs battle the Reds in Pittsburgh.
