THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ARE NOT PREPARED TO GO QUIETLY IN THE STANLEY CUP FINALS. THEY USED A FOUR GOAL SECOND PERIOD TO VAULT THEM TO A 6-2 WIN OVER COLORADO IN GAME 3, AND CLOSE THE SERIES DEFICIT TO 2-1.
THE DALLAS STARS ARE NEAR A DEAL TO NAME PETER DEBOER THEIR NEXT HEAD COACH.
THE NBA DRAFT IS LATER THIS WEEK, WITH THE ORLANDO MAGIC OWNING THE TOP PICK. IT’S A YEAR WITHOUT A CLEAR CUT #1 CANDIDATE, BUT ONE OF THEM IS CHET HOLMGREN OUT OF GONGAZA. HOLMGREN PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL IN MINNESOTA. HAVING MADE THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVERAL YEARS, THE TIMBERWOVLES WILL NOT BE DRAFTING WITHIN THE TOP HALF OF THE FIRST ROUND.
GERRIT COLE TOOK A NO-HIT BID INTO THE 8TH INNING BEFORE IT WAS BROKEN UP, BUT THE YANKEES STILL EARNED THEIR 50TH WIN OF THE SEASON, 4-2 OVER TAMPA BAY.
THE OTHER NEW YORK TEAM IS CRUISING AS WELL, THE METS PICKED UP WIN NUMBER 45, 6-0 OVER MIAMI.
THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX BEAT THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS 8-7.
A COUPLE OF PITCHERS DUELS… ATLANTA WINS 2-1 OVER SAN FRANCISCO. ORLANDO ARCIA HAD THE WALK OFF SINGLE. THAT WAS MAX FRIED OUTDUELING LOGAN WEBB.
CORBIN BURNES THREW SEVEN SHUTOUT INNINGS, AND MILWAUKEE BEAT ST LOUIS 2-0. THAT PUTS THE BREWERS BACK ON TOP OF THE NL CENTRAL. MILES MIKOLAS’ ONLY MISTAKE WAS A TWO-RUN HOME RUN BY TYRONE TAYLOR.
YU DARVISH WAS GOOD AGAIN FOR SAN DIEGO, GOING 7 INNINGS OF ONE RUN BALL, AS THE PADRES BOPPED THE DIAMONDBACKS 4-1.
A BLOWOUT GAME BETWEEN TWO BAD TEAMS GOT SOME EXTRA ENTERTAINMENT. THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES BEAT THE CHICAGO CUBS 12-1… THE GAME WAS DELAYED BRIEFLY IN THE 2ND INNINGS AFTER A SQUIRREL GOT LOOSE ON THE FIELD.
