#1 Former New York Yankees Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara have been accused of being a non protector a girl that was abused by an older child at Rivera’s church that they own in Westchester County in New York. The Rivera’s were added to a defendants list in a civil lawsuit by the girl and the mother stating that the girl was abused in 2018. It is important to note that the Rivera’s have not been charged with any crime.
#2 A scary and tragic fall took place at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during Wednesday night’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. A man fell above the 21 foot Roberto Clemente wall in right field. The training staffs from the Cubs and Pirates attended to the man and he was taken from the right field warning track on a cart. Pittsburgh Public Safety, Pittsburgh Police and EMS said the man was listed in critical condition and listed it as an accident.
#3 Kansas City Royals left hand pitcher Noah Cameron took a no hitter into the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night in his big league debut. Cameron was called up to replace pitcher Cole Ragans who is out with a sore groin. Cameron stayed in until the Rays Curtis Mead broke up the no hitter with a base hit to left field. Royals manager Matt Quataro came out and replaced Cameron and the next day (Thursday) he was demoted to the triple A Omaha. Cameron became the first pitcher who debuted to go seven innings since the Toronto Blue Jays Nick Kingham who got two outs in the seventh against the St Louis Cardinals on April 29, 2018.
#4 The Colorado Rockies ended the month of April with a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. It didn’t make a difference the Rockies still went down with the losingest April in the history of Major League Baseball going 5-25. The Rocks had a eight game losing streak going until they snapped the skid on Wednesday. Last season the White Sox had won just six games in the month of April.
#5 The Sacramento A’s who started the 2025 season in the cellar have got a bump up in their last homestand they took out of three from the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox. On this current road trip they took three out of four from the Rangers and have improved their home record to 6-9 and moving five games over .500 on the road record to 11-6. For the A’s has it been getting the key hits? The right kind of pitching? and to manager Mark Kotsay’s credit just great managing?
