El Mago Strikes Again
Seems like every time boricua brothers Francisco Lindor and Javy Báez meet in a series there’s a play involving them both that reminds us why we love béisbol. Oh and kudos to Kyle Schwarber on the throw.

First Hit-First Homer
What a Tuesday for the Rays’ Willy Adames. Early in the day, the Rays called him up. He flew up to Tampa and his first hit in a Rays uniform was a homer. Not a bad start. Enjoy the home run call en Español.
