00:00All right, Dave's got quick sports. It's the morning rat race from 95.9 The Rats.
00:06Okay, let's start with baseball where it was a good win for the Yankees last night.
00:12Yankees took down division rival Blue Jays 4-2 as Toronto has become a bunch of bastards for the Yankees.
00:20Accusing 6'9 Aaron Judge of cheating and all this ridiculous nonsense.
00:24How tall he's 6'9"?
00:26So, yeah, so this Blue Jays-Yankee rivalry is heating up the way it used to be in the late 70s through mid-80s.
00:33Aaron Judge did slug his 12th home run of the year.
00:37So all they did was wake up a sleeping giant.
00:40Meanwhile, Yankee rookie Anthony Volpe hit a big insurance run, home run late in the game.
00:46His seventh homer, Nestor Cortez, picked up the win.
00:48And Ronnie Sauce got the save.
00:51Ron Marinaccio of Tom's River.
00:53Oh, Ronnie Sauce.
00:54Pitched very well out of the bullpen this year.
00:56Been a while since I heard his name on your show.
00:58Yeah, so he's not the regular closer, but with Holmes struggling, Wandi Peralta working a lot.
01:05They had Ronnie Marinaccio pitch last night, and he got the save.
01:08Yankees now 26-20.
01:11Meanwhile, the Mets beat the Rays 3-2.
01:14Pete Alonzo homeward for the 16th time this season.
01:18He is off to a fiery start.
01:22Mets starter Tyler McGill gets the win as the Mets improve to 22-23.
01:28The Phillies were off.
01:29They play the Cubs this evening in Philadelphia.
01:31The Phillies 20-23.
01:34Over to the NBA postseason as the Denver Nuggets defeated LeBron James and the LA Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, 108-103.
01:43How about that, Denver, huh?
01:45LeBron had a missed open layup, a missed dunk where he had all the time in the world, and he went for like a two-handed windmill dunk and just straight up missed it.
01:59Wow.
01:59When he dropped the ball, is it covered in butter or something?
02:01The ball just slipped out of his hands, and this is, you know, LeBron James still great.
02:06He averaged 28 points a game this season, but I'll tell you, it was the first time where he did show a sign of age in his 20-year career.
02:17Missing open layups and dunks last night was weird.
02:20So now Denver has a two-games-to-nothing lead.
02:23Meanwhile, game two of the Eastern Conference Finals is tonight.
02:27Miami Heat lead the Boston Celtics, one game to none, obviously a huge game in Boston with the series headed to Miami after this evening.
02:35NHL playoffs.
02:37The Florida Panthers got past the Carolina Hurricanes in overtime last night in Game 1 of the East Final, 3-2.
02:45Matthew Chakuk scored the game winner for the Panthers in OT.
02:50And what a game it was.
02:52What's that name again?
02:55Matthew Chakuk.
02:58Some of these hockey names are hard to pronounce.
03:02NFL, the Giants cornerback, Deontay Banks.
03:07He is their first round pick this year.
03:10They got him signed, so that's good.
03:12Fully guaranteed rookie deal worth $13.6 million for four years.
03:17It's always nice to have your first round draft pick signed and ready to go for camp.
03:21And finally, one of golf's four majors, the PGA Championship, is underway.
03:26After one round, Bryson DeChambeau has the lead with a four-under, 66-1 shot better than Dustin Johnson, Scotty Scheffler, and Corey Connors.
03:37That's your quick look at sports.
