Chisholm Jr. homers in 500th game, Yankees reach halfway point with 3-0 victory over A's
Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered on the first pitch he saw in his 500th game and the New York Yankees beat the Athletics 3-0 on Friday night to reach the halfway point of the season. Chisholm hit his fifth homer in 21 games since returning from an oblique injury on June 3 and gave the Yankees the lead in the second by driving a cutter from A's starter Mitch Spence (2-3) to the second deck in right field. As he rounded third, the third baseman shrugged his shoulders and did a little shuffle before crossing the plate. Chisholm has 89 homers and 109 stolen bases since debuting with the Miami Marlins on September 1, 2020. The only other players with as many homers and stolen bases through 500 career games are Eric Davis (107, homers, 190 stolen bases) and former Yankee Alfonso Soriano (97 homers, 121 RBIs). Cody Bellinger and DJ LeMahieu hit RBI singles as the Yankees reached the halfway point at 47-34, putting them on a 94-win pace. The Yankees were 52-29 at the halfway point last season when they finished with 94 wins and reached the World Series for the first time since 2009. New York rookie starter Will Warren (5-4) survived issuing three walks in the first inning and allowed two hits in five innings. Four relievers followed Warren and Devin Williams got the last three outs for his 11th save to complete New York's ninth shutout. Aaron Judge was walked intentionally for the 18th time this season in the third before Bellinger singled. LeMahieu hit an infield single in the fourth after Paul Goldschmidt reached on catcher's interference. Spence, a former Yankees minor leaguer, allowed three runs and three hits in five innings. The A's lost for the fifth time in six games and were blanked for the sixth time this season. Key moment Warren ended a 36-pitch first inning by getting a called third strike on former Yankee Gio Urshela. He ended his 100-pitch outing by stranding runners at first and second in the fifth. Key stat Warren has 39 strikeouts on called third strikes — most in the majors. Up next Athletics LHP JP Sears (5-7, 5.44 ERA) faces Yankees RHP Clarke Schmidt (4-3, 2.84) on Saturday.

Bobby Witt Jr. ‘finds' fix that will terrify MLB
The post Bobby Witt Jr. 'finds' fix that will terrify MLB appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Kansas City Royals have endured recent struggles, including a five-game losing streak. Infielder Bobby Witt Jr. was blunt after a June 14 loss to the Athletics. Advertisement 'We have to figure something out, he said, per Anne Rogers of 'We have to change something. So the time was now.' Nevertheless, Witt is having a fairly decent season. He's batting .285 with 83 hits, nine home runs, and 39 RBIs, along with an OPS of .830. Good numbers, but pale in comparison to the numbers he put up last year. In 2024, Witt batted .332 with 211 hits, 32 home runs, and 109 RBIs as well as an OPS of .977. He was in the hunt for the American League MVP before it was given to Aaron Judge. Witt was named one of the 50 best MLB players entering this season. He entered Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers 28% above the league average in OPS. Also, the Royals are ranked 29th in runs per game, just above the Pittsburgh Pirates. Advertisement However, Witt is improving thanks to a few techniques, per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. According to a team official, Witt's been working with his hitting coaches as well as biomechanical experts to improve his hitting. Moreover, he's made a crucial adjustment to hit the ball better. Over the last four games, Witt is 7-for-15 at the plate, a batting average of .467. He's added a home run and three doubles in the process. On Thursday, he went 2 for 3, including a walk, as the Royals defeated the Rangers 4-1. The Royals are 37-38 and are in 4th place in the American League Central Division. The value of Bobby Witt Jr. to the Royals Witt is considered to be the face of the Royals. In February 2024, Witt signed a massive $288 million contract extension with the franchise for 11 years. Advertisement He's a consistent hitter who can hit for average and power. In addition, Witt is ubiquitous on the base paths. In the field, he can play shortstop and third base and won a Gold Glove Award in 2024. The hope for the Royals is to build the team around him for the future.
