Today’s Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes and 43 seconds

Good Morning and Happy Sunday. This is the Daily Breakroom and we’ve got all sorts of action going on today. Today is the end of the first half of the MLB season and we’ve got All-Star activities starting tomorrow. We’ve also got close matches on a few different golf courses and we’ve also got USA representing on two soccer pitches today.

Don’t worry, we’ve also got NBA and tennis news too! And YES, all in 5 minutes.

Let’s go.

Major League Baseball

The Elly De La Cruz Show

Let’s just start by telling you that the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday 8-5.

Now let’s start telling you about the Elly De La Cruz show. This dude is just wild. He’s only 21 years old and he just got called up to the Majors 33 days ago. He’s played in 29 games, is hitting .328, has 40 hits, 16 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.

Let’s talk about those stolen bases.

De La Cruz broke a 5-5 tie in the 7th with a two-out RBI single.

De La Cruz then stole 2nd base.

He then stole 3rd base.

Do you see a trend?

GOOD

Because De La Cruz then stole home!

He stole 3 bases and only 2 pitches were thrown.

Check it out.
