Hendriks Gets Another Win on Sunday
Though technically only one win per the box score, Liam Hendriks is riding high after returning to the major leagues after beating cancer. On Sunday, the White Sox put him in the game tied 2-2, and his stuff was wicked as usual. He emphatically retired the side, and going into the bottom of the ninth, Andrew Benintendi got the rally started. Eventually, Jake Burger got to the plate and did not miss the opportunity to send fans home happy, smashing a grand slam and giving Hendriks the win.
What’s better? Hendriks notched the victory on National Cancer Survivor’s Day.

Possible IL Stint for Yankee Captain?
We all saw the magnificent catch Aaron Judge made on Saturday against the Dodgers. And if not, see below. Well, as it turns out, he injured his toe on the play and was out of the lineup on Sunday. Yankee manager Aaron Boone says an IL stint is possible. Judge has been on yet another historic campaign, posting numbers similar to his MVP season last year.

Best Moment From Yesterday
Braves Storm Back in the Ninth
Chicago wasn’t the only place housing grand slam victories. Arizona was hosting them too. Unfortunately for Arizona, it was against their opponent, the Atlanta Braves. Diamondbacks had a 5-4 lead going into the ninth. Their closer Miguel Castro got into trouble though, and Eddie Rosario was not willing to help him get out of it. He clobbered a homer and led the Braves to an 8-5 victory.
