Rangers’ Winning Streak Snapped


The resolve and resiliency the Rangers have shown in the previous few weeks came out too little, too late in a 5-2 loss to the Penguins at Madison Square Garden, bringing the Blueshirts’ impressive five-game win streak to a halt.
It was the Rangers’ fifth loss since the start of March, when the club went 10-3-1 while facing some of the top teams in the NHL.

The Penguins, who were ranked 22nd in the league and second-to-last in the Metropolitan Division at the start of the game, are not the team they were just two seasons ago — when they lost a 3-1 series lead on the Rangers in the first round of the 2022 playoffs.
But Pittsburgh looked like a team fighting for its pride, while the Rangers didn’t look like they were fighting for anything at all.

Yankees Win Three Over Astros


The New York Yankees defeated the Houston Astros, 7-1 at Minute Maid Park, relying on some stingy pitching while taking advantage of some costly mistakes from their opponents.
Though the Astros led 1-0 for the first six innings of the game, this Yankees squad once again showed they have the ability to rally late in games, getting some major production from the bottom of the lineup.

Oswaldo Cabrera and Juan Soto led the way in the late-game heroics, getting the Yankees off to a 2-0 start to the season and guaranteeing at least a split of the four-game series.
Manager Aaron Boone is thrilled to see Cabrera’s strong start after he struggled early this spring.
“He’s delivered,” Boone said. “In these first two games he’s been right in the middle of everything. And it’s so good to see him swinging the bat like this and contributing offensively like this because then he becomes so valuable.”

New York starter Carlos Rodón allowed five hits and a run with three walks in 4 innings, and Clayton Beeter, a 25-year-old right-hander, made his major league debut for the Yankees with a one-hit ninth.

Mets Drop Opening Day Game to Brewers


Simply, the Mets got over-matched by Freddy Peralta and the Brewers bullpen, falling silent in a 3-1 Opening Day loss before a Citi Field sellout crowd of 42,137.
Starling Marte’s second-inning homer provided hope for the afternoon.

It turned out to be the Mets’ only hit. Masters of Opening Day, the Mets lost their first opener since 2019 in Washington.
The homer was Marte’s first since July 4 of last season. It marked the third straight season in which Marte homered in the Mets’ first home game.

Marte’s shot into the wind on this day registered 109 mph off the bat. It was one of the limited opportunities for Mets fans to cheer as the offense stumbled out of the gate, striking out eight times against the Brewers ace and twice more against the Brewers bullpen.
DJ Stewart and Francisco Lindor were the only other Mets to reach base, with walks in the second and seventh innings.

MLB Investigating Shohei Ohtani Allegations


The Los Angeles Dodgers have fired Shohei Ohtani‘s interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, amid allegations of a “massive theft” of millions, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

Mizuhara, 39, a longtime friend of the two-time American League MVP, reportedly sent $4.5 million from Ohtani’s bank account to a Southern California bookmaking operation currently under federal investigation. The interpreters firing came after reporters asked questions about the wire transfers.
A spokesperson for Ohtani claimed the baseball player transferred the funds to cover Mizuhara’s gambling debt. The spokesman would later disavow Mizuhara’s account of the incident and said Ohtani’s lawyers would prepare a statement.

“In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft, and we are turning the matter over to the authorities.”
Ohtani’s spokesman declined additional questions regarding the incident and didn’t specify when they believe the alleged theft took place.

Saquon Barkley Signs With The Eagles


Saquon Barkley’s wish to be a Giant for life will not be granted. Instead, he has flown the coop and is headed to the rival Eagles.
The star running back on the first day of free agency agreed to a three-year contract to trade blue for green and move on down the Jersey Turnpike to suit up for the Eagles.
The deal is worth $37.75 million, with a guarantee of $26 million.
This will not sit well with all those Giants fans who bought Barkley’s No. 26 jersey and now will see him play for an NFC East opponent they despise.

Barkley posted a brief goodbye on X, writing “Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support over the past 6 years… forever grateful! Excited for the next chapter.’’ He followed that up with two emojis of bald eagles.
With the Giants, Barkley endured five losing seasons in his six years, playing for three different head coaches.
In many ways, his first season was his finest, with 1,307 rushing yards and what turned out as career-highs in rushing average (5.0) and receptions (91). Barkley was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and he was on his way to greatness, it seemed.
