00:00But we begin with one of the biggest upsets at the French Open in years.
00:05Yannick Sinner, who's the number one player in the world, has been eliminated from the French Open,
00:09not in the semifinals, but in the fourth round, losing to the 65th ranked player in the world,
00:16Juan Manuel Cerindolo, who was 24-1 to win the match.
00:24In fact, Sinner was the favorite to win the French Open itself at minus 400.
00:31So naturally, with Alcaraz out, it could be Novak Djokovic's tournament to win.
00:37We'll see what happens at Roland Garros in the future, but certainly a huge upset.
00:41They're saying one of the biggest upsets ever at the French Open this morning.
00:45Meanwhile, Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have introduced the Protect College Sports Act.
00:49I'll tell you all about it.
00:50It's introduced by these lawmakers who are attempting to impose federal rules on college athletics
00:56because the instability that's been caused by the NIL, restoring order and standardizing some rules in college sports.
01:04And we'll see if this also affects the Olympic Games as well.
01:08Meanwhile, Shea Gilgis-Alexander, who's getting ready to play today,
01:11people in his camp are very upset with a sports operator making fun of all of the free throw attempts
01:17that he gets and the fouls.
01:19In fact, Underdog, the sports prediction market company, has received a cease and desist
01:24about a game that makes fun of SGA drawing fouls.
01:28Underdog created a board game called Unethical Hoops,
01:33styled like Operation, where a buzzer would sound every time SGA was touched.
01:38SGA's legal representation said,
01:41take it down, and you're not allowed to use his name or likeness.
01:46See what happens here.
01:47Naturally, they'll play tonight, and we'll see if SGA's going to the line some more.
01:51In Major League Baseball, the losing streak is officially over for the Chicago Cubs.
01:54They beat the Pirates yesterday 10-4, so it's done.
01:57Ian Happ, 2-for-6 with a home run, but the key was he drove in 5 yesterday.
02:01Nico Horder was also 2-for-5 in the game, so the Cubs finally win.
02:05That means Craig Council should be happy, but basically saying a long way to go, even with the win.
02:10Well, yeah, I mean, look, you know, whatever you want to call it, monkey on your back, whatever, it's just,
02:17it's nice, it's gone, you know, and it, you know, we got to, you know, it starts over tomorrow, and
02:23you got to win a game tomorrow, but, you know, we needed it.
02:28The room needed it, we all needed it, and we played a good game tonight.
02:34Meanwhile, another losing streak coming to an end, this one for the New York Mets.
02:37They had lost five games in a row going into their game last night with the Reds, but they come
02:41out on top 4-2.
02:42Juan Soto hit his sixth home run in the last seven games, 10 home runs this month.
02:46He's been awesome for the Mets, despite them losing a lot.
02:49So, simply put, putting them on their back despite the losing, here's Carlos Mendoza on Soto's home run stretch.
02:55For Soto, now eight home runs in his last 12 games.
02:58I know you've seen these types of runs out of him, but what is the, even if it's a slight
03:02difference when he gets onto these types of heaters?
03:06He's locked in.
03:07He's locked in, and he's one of the best, if not the best, you know, at what he does.
03:11It doesn't matter if he's a lefty, righty.
03:13We saw it today on a breaking ball against a lefty, but he's just, they compete.
03:18He's just, in the at-bat, the takes, the swings, he gets a little scary when he swings and misses
03:25there, you know, but he goes away.
03:26But, man, he's just a special player doing his thing.
03:31Meanwhile, the National League Cy Young chase keeps heating up.
03:34It appears Shohei Otani is not satisfied with being third or fourth in the odds.
03:38He's now got the lowest earned run average among qualifiers in the National League.
03:42He pitched six innings.
03:44He did not give up a hit, one run, four walks, seven strikeouts.
03:48He also hit a lead-off home run in their four-to-one win against the Colorado Rockies,
03:53and the Dodgers were one of the biggest home favorites in baseball all season, minus 450 in their sweep against
04:00Colorado.
04:01Here's Dave Roberts on the win.
04:03Compete.
04:04I think you saw that in that Tovar at-bat where he gave up a run, and then Will had
04:10the visit,
04:10and then he came out there and just, you know, dominated Tovar in that at-bat.
04:15Yeah, tonight against the Padres, it just, for me, the fastball command wasn't there.
04:22And, you know, at times when it gets stressful, he makes pitches when he needs to,
04:27but then there's some kind of uncharacteristic walks in there and getting into bad counts.
04:33But when it gets stressful, he makes pitches when he needs to.
04:36But I think tonight it was just, you know, the fastball command he just didn't feel good with.
04:42One of the pitchers, Ohtani, will have to chase down to win the Cy Young Award,
04:45and it's going to be tough as Christopher Sanchez of the Philadelphia Phillies.
04:48He did not give up a run in the month of May.
04:51Let me say that again.
04:52Pitched the entire month, no runs.
04:54His scoreless streak is now 44-2.
04:58The Phillies beat the Padres 3-0.
05:01It's naturally a franchise record.
05:03Here's Don Mattingly on Sanchez's performance this month.
05:08Many times when Sanchez starts, how do you describe it?
05:11But when this just keeps going, does it almost feel like it can't end?
05:15A little bit.
05:16You just don't expect him to give up any runs.
05:20I thought he was a little rough early.
05:25You know, I don't know if this thing's on his mind at all.
05:28You know, going through it and knew he had to get through four, I think it was.
05:32Seemed to settle down a little more after that.
05:35But, yeah, he's been amazing from the standpoint of it.
05:38It just seems like every time out, no matter what team or who it is, just kind of keeps going.
05:47Phillies are playing good baseball.
05:48Diamondbacks are playing the best baseball of anyone in the National League right now.
05:52They've won 10 out of their last 11, including sweeping the San Francisco Giants twice.
05:57They win 3-2 yesterday behind Michael Soroka.
06:01Six innings pitched.
06:02He gets the win and three strikeouts.
06:05And things pointing all down right now on the Giants.
06:08Looks like they're going to be on the outside looking in again in the postseason.
06:11Here is Tony Vitello on the Giants being swept by Arizona two times in a week.
06:17Tony, that's the second time you've been swept by the Diamondbacks in two weeks.
06:20Just how disappointing is it to face these guys so often in such a short amount of time and not
06:25end up with a single win?
06:26Yeah, it's frustrating.
06:27One of the guys had good words before the game, and it was, you know, relative to we've had five
06:35goes at it.
06:36And there's been a little theme to, I think, each one of those games.
06:39In specific, the three there, you know, yesterday we just didn't kind of match everything up.
06:47We swung the bats fairly well on a night where, you know, typically this place plays a little bit to
06:53favor.
06:54And if you can get five or six on the board, you're in good shape and, you know, determined as
07:00all hell to squeeze one out today.
07:02And I don't know that that necessarily led to any mistakes or anything different.
07:06I mean, I'm fast forwarding to maybe questions, but we got on the scoreboard first, which is what we want.
07:14I think that's been a theme or a topic for us that's been crucial.
07:20And then, you know, TMAC did exactly what we're looking for our guys to do.
07:25I mean, he was relentless in the strike zone and gave us a good opportunity to win.
07:29Garrett Cole's return to the Yankees has gone very well as New York beats Kansas City 7-0 to complete
07:35the sweep.
07:36Cole, six innings pitched, no runs, no walks, and ten strikeouts.
07:40So it would appear at least he's close to being all the way back.
07:44Scary to think what he would be like when he is officially all the way back.
07:47Here's Cole after the game, and he said he was pleased.
07:49What were you most pleased with?
07:52I think really the sequencing was crisp for the most part.
07:56A few mistakes.
07:58But really, I thought, like, I thought the game really got going with Judge's play.
08:03I just, he set the tone.
08:06I mean, I was, like, kind of caught in the middle.
08:09I thought that run was going to score for sure, and I might have to back up second base.
08:13And, I mean, he was dead to rights.
08:15And I thought that just kind of elevated our play a little bit.
08:20And we rolled from there.
08:21One other quick baseball note.
08:22The White Sox beat the Twins yesterday 15-2.
08:26Muniteka Murakami ended up hitting his 20th home run of the season.
08:30That officially leads Major League Baseball tied with Jordan Alvarez of the Astros.
08:34Also in hockey last night, it looks like the Carolina Hurricanes are headed toward the Stanley Cup final.
08:39They just need one more win Friday night in Carolina after beating the Habs last night 3-1.
