Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Talk is the Gunnar Henderson is one of the big reasons why the Baltimore Orioles are a half game ahead just ahead of second place New York Yankees. Henderson hitting .279, 25 runs, 24 RBIs and ten home runs.

#2 Charlie, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was ejected for verbalizing his displeasure on being called out on a strike call by home plate umpire Ryan Blakney which Aaron disapproved of saying the pitch was outside and got tossed out for the first time in his career. What was surprising about it it was the first ejection for Judge in 869 games. Judge said he’s said worse things when he struck out so he was surprised when he got the heave ho.

#3 For the first time since March Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole threw off the mound as Cole shoots to get back on the hill. Cole had been suffering from a elbow injury. Cole came in hours before the Detroit Tigers and Yankees match at Yankee Stadium on Saturday at 10:40 AM. Cole said ” It was exciting, this was a good day for me. I was fired up.”

#4 The Giants lost four of their last five games they faced the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Phillies scored five runs in the first inning and four runs in the second and beat up on Giants pitching for a 14-3 laugher. Plus Giants catcher Patrick Bailey is on the 7 day IL after taking a ball off the mask on Friday. Giants back up catcher Tom Murphy has taken Bailey’s place.

#5 The Oakland A’s have been rolling they won their seventh straight game they crushed the Florida Marlins 20-4 on Saturday. The A’s have been getting clutch hitting and have been getting great relief pitching to close out games from closer Mason Miller.

On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, lots of talk about the Chicago White Sox problems all around, lack of attendance, team doesn’t have enough hitters and pitching to win games, Sox have won only three games this season, they have won only one road game out 12 so far this season, and are in dead last place in the AL Central.

#2 Amaury, San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell is out with a left strained adductor and on the 15 day IL. Snell was a scratch on Wednesday’s day game at Oracle Park and was replaced by starter Ryan Walker in a bullpen game. Snell has been rocked in his last two starts Apr 14th vs. Tampa Bay giving up six hits and seven runs and Apr 19 against the Arizona Diamondbacks giving up nine hits and five runs.

#2 After getting swept in Cleveland in three games the Oakland A’s came to New York and won the first game of the three game series at Yankee Stadium on Monday on a Zack Gelof ninth inning two run homer. There are just some games that the A’s pull a rabbit out of the hat.

#3 It’s not often you get to see the A’s throw a shutout on the road but A’s starter JP Sears pitched six inning of shut out ball giving up three hits and striking out seven batters. A’s relievers Lucas Erceg and closer Mason Miller also kept the shutout in tact.

#4 Amaury if you had to point to one thing where the A’s improved a little this season and have had some success over the last few weeks what one thing would it be, JP Sears pitching, Zack Gelof’s hitting or the return Esteury Ruiz?

#5 Amaury, the San Francisco Giants are fourth in the NL West with the Dodgers, Padres, and Diamondbacks in front of them in the standings that said the Giants are only two games out of first place.
