Jefry Yan has been a joy to watch in LIDOM the last few years

So awesome to see him finally get his MLB chance

[New York Mets @Mets]

We have made the following roster moves.

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Luis García Jr. is the second player in franchise history with a go-ahead home run in the 7th inning or later in his Yankees debut, joining:

Alex Johnson Sep 10, 1974
Solo HR to break 1-1 tie Top 12 at Fenway Park

(go-ahead counts even with the loss today)

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Alec Burleson is the first visiting player with a 3-homer game at Yankee Stadium since Jordan Diaz 5/9/23

He’s the first NL player with a 3-HR game at the Yankees since interleague play began in 1997

Only 2 NL 3-HR gms vs NYY prior, both at home (9/12/21 Lindor, 6/22/11 Chris Heisey)

[MLB @MLB]

ALEC BURLESON HAS A THREE-HOMER GAME!

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Most scoreless starts of 6+ innings, Giants last 50 years:

Tim Lincecum: 40
Madison Bumgarner: 36
Matt Cain: 34
Logan Webb: 23
Jason Schmidt: 22
Barry Zito: 22

Two homers to very similar spots for Jung Hoo Lee

His second career multi-HR game (4/13/25 at NYY)

[MLB @MLB]

It's a 2-homer night for Jung Hoo Lee!

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

81.0 mph bat speed 
80.2 mph bat speed

These are Junior Caminero’s 37th and 38th homers with a 80+ mph bat speed since the start of last season, 10 more than anyone else in MLB in that span

[MLB @MLB]

Junior Caminero launches home run No. 32 💪

It's his second of the night!

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

What a moment!!

[MLB @MLB]

Luis García Jr. for the LEAD!

What a way to come through in his @Yankees debut 😤

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

2020: No. 65
2019: No. 92
2018: No. 63

2024: All-Star. Now, he’s a coveted Deadline bat

development isn’t always linear. baseball is SO hard

but stories like this are why it’s the best

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Luis Arraez & Trea Turner for PHI will be the 10th duo of *multi-time* batting title winners to play for the same team in the same year (@EliasSports)

**having already won 2+ entering that season*

They’ll join:

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Being traded in the NL means Luis Arraez can still win a batting title (AL he would’ve not qualified in either distinct lg)

Can he become the 1st in MLB history to win batting titles for more than 3 teams?

Players to win a batting title for 3 diff tms:

Luis Arraez (2024 SD, ‘23 MIA, ‘22 MIN)
Dan Brouthers (1891 Boston Reds, 1889 Boston Beaneaters, 1883 Buffalo Bisons, 1882 Bisons)
