MLB Highlights: Major League Baseball Highlights for July 14, 2022
Triston McKenzie tames the Tigers
In the best pitching performance of the night, Triston McKenzie showed no mercy to Detroit’s weak offense, which saw the right-hander set a personal strikeout record with 12 strikeouts .
McKenzie led the Guardians in the 4-0 shutout, working eight innings in which he gave up no tickets and gave up just five hits, all singles. It was the 24-year-old’s seventh win, allowing Cleveland to even its record at 44-44 and stay close to the Minnesota Twins for the American Central Division lead.
Reds win series over Yankees in New York
After sweeping the Rays, the Cincinnati Reds came to Yankee Stadium looking to make the Yankees’ days a little bit miserable, and boy did they do it.
The team, which is last in the NL Central Division, took the series 2-1 and even came close to a sweep after falling in extra innings on Tuesday. The Reds scored 17 runs against one of the best collective pitching teams in the league and proved to the other teams that the “Bronx Bombers” are not invincible.
There’s no one to stop the Mariners
The Seattle Mariners are one of the hottest teams in the Major Leagues after posting their 11th consecutive win, the second-longest streak in franchise history, and taking over second place in the American League Wild Card.
In the opener of a four-game series against the Rangers, the Seattle team trailed 5-1 early in the seventh inning before continuing their torrid hitting and pulling off the comeback with a two-run RBI single by the always clutch Ty France.
Yandy Diaz leads Rays’ sweep
After being swept by the Reds, the Rays returned home and did their thing by sweeping a four-game series from their division rivals, the Red Sox.
With a pitching staff that only allowed 12 runs to Boston’s offense, Tampa Bay scored five runs in the seventh inning, including a two-run hit by Cuban Yandy Daz, to consolidate second place in the East and the first wild card of the junior circuit with a 49-40 record.
Twin Cities Slaughter
The White Sox showed no mercy towards the locals in the first game of a crucial series between the White Sox and the Twins, slaughtering them with 12 runs.
The man of the night was Luis Robert, who sealed the game early by hitting a grand slam in the fourth inning to make the score 6-1 at that point. The White Sox are now five games behind Minnesota in the American League Central with three more games remaining this weekend.
