Who made the decision to have McDonald's character Grimace throw out the first pitch at a Mets game? Genius! The @mets won 7 in a row and are playing well. @Dodgers Shohei Ohtani hit a 476 foot homer in Denver, the longest homer recorded this season. @nationals Kyle Finnegan walked in the game-winning run on a pitch clock violation which was the first time that's happened since the new rules were implemented in 2023.

Both @cubs Shota Imanaga and @yankees Luis Gil were shelled last week impacting their chances to start the #MLB All-Star game next month. @Rangers Max Scherzer returned in style as part of a shutout victory pitching 5 one-hit innings. @Orioles Kyle Bradish is out for the season with yet another UCL injury. @whitesox find new ways to disappoint.
