On the MLB podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Jasson Dominguez became the youngest player in New York Yankees history to hit a home run at age 20 and 206 days in his first MLB game and first at bat. Dominguez was the first Yankees since Aaron Judge to hit a home run in his first at bat since Aug 13, 2016.

#2 The Los Angeles Angels waived six players on Thursday and manager Phil Nevin told the call ups to go out and have fun. It wasn’t too much fun for the Halos on Friday as this revamped team got whipped by the last place Oakland A’s 9-2 and the Angels dropped game two of the series on Saturday 2-1 .

#3 How about Angels shortstop Kyren Paris who made his MLB debut on Friday and batted ninth. Paris was thrilled playing in Oakland where he grew up in Oakley (48 miles from the Coliseum). “To play right here in the Coliseum is going to be special,” Paris said.

#4 Jose Altuve Houston Astros infielder is injured again he left Friday night’s game against the New York Yankees with a bruised left leg. Altuve was hitting leadoff and grounded out and walked back to the dugout gingerly and was assisted by the trainer to the clubhouse.

#5 Charlie, we wanted to get a chance to ask you about MLB keeping the pitch clock for post season which time framed the hitter and the pitcher for the regular season and how you see the clock impacting the post season. Also the league will not use the ghost runner for the post season. So we might be able to see a 12 or 13 inning game yet.
