When Legends Strike: The Summer of Baseball's Highs and Lows

The Yankees are experiencing a frustrating summer slump with defensive issues and pitching injuries, losing their division lead as Clayton Kershaw makes MLB history by becoming just the 20th pitcher to record 3,000 career strikeouts. Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins are the hot teams heading into the All-Star break, with the former taking the lead in the AL East and the latter climbing out of the division basement.

• Yankees playing poorly with sloppy defense, lazy at-bats, and bullpen struggles
• Clark Schmidt likely needs Tommy John surgery after a strong season
• Clayton Kershaw joins the elite 3000 strikeout club as only the 20th player in history
• Kershaw is one of only three players to achieve this milestone with one team
• Blue Jays take over AL East lead after sweeping Yankees and winning 9 of 10
• George Springer delivering clutch hits including grand slams in key moments
• Marlins winning 7 of 10 games and moving up from the bottom of their division
• All-Star game and draft coming up in Atlanta on July 15th
• RIP Dave Parker "The Cobra" - 7-time All-Star and Pirates legend
