The @astros are the second team to trail by 4+ runs on the road while facing elimination in the #WorldSeries and come back to win.
The other was the White Sox in Game 6 of the 1919 World Series at Cincinnati.
Excited for former @RMCJackets alum @cemoore41 (Class of 2018) and his rapid ascension in the college coaching ranks! Another #DiamondJacket giving back to the game.
The Rangers have lost 10 straight and haven't held a lead at any point since early in the first of those 10 losses (July 10).
Their streak of 86 consecutive innings without leading is the longest since the Braves had a 96-inning drought in April/May 1977.
Players to reach 30 HR in a season prior to August at age 22 or younger, all-time:
Joe DiMaggio (1937 NYY)
Eddie Mathews (1953 Mil Braves)
Johnny Bench (1970 Cin)
Alex Rodriguez (1998 Sea)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2021 Tor) - July 16
Fernando Tatis Jr. (2021 SD) - Today

I know some fantastic people/orgs who are hiring, and I will forward the postings to you.
Tonight the @Padres:
-scored 24 runs
-had a player hit for the cycle (Cronenworth)
-had a player with 7 RBI (Myers)
-had a player score 5 runs (Pham)
Since RBI became official in 1920, no other team has accomplished all of those feats in the same season, much less one game.
The @Nationals Trea Turner became the first player in MLB history to hit for the cycle on his birthday.
He also became the third player in the modern era to complete a cycle with his 100th hit in a season, joining HOFers Joe Medwick (6/29/1935) and Chuck Klein (7/1/1931).
