MLB The Show podcast Jessica Kwong:

#1 The New York Yankees of all teams set a Major League mark for a team to strike out 17 times in two straight games. The Yankees KO’d 17 times on Monday and Tuesday nights at the Tropicana in St Petersburg to set the record. The Yankees a have a rough time of things having lost eight of their last ten games.

#2 Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O’Hearn hit for ten RBIs in a game against the Atlanta Braves. No one has ever done that for the Bucs. O’Hearn set a club record on Tuesday night the record was last set on May 30, 1939 when Johnny Rizzo hit nine RBIs agianst the St Louis Cardinals some 54 years before O’Hearn was born.

#3 Kansas City Royals Tyler Tolbert set a Major League record hitting in 12 straight plate appearances. Tolber reached the record with an infield hit in the Royals 16-12 win over the New York Mets Tuesday. Tolbert hit a two run home run in the second, then singled in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh ending the streak in the ninth inning with a fly out in the ninth inning.

#4 Detroit Tigers third base coach Joey Cory separated with the Tigers after “philosophical differences” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said of Cora and quoting, “I love Joey. Joey loved being a Tiger. He’s been instrumental in his time here. But similar to a family, sometimes it doesn’t last forever. and “We both just agreed it’s probably best for the players and everybody to separate.”

 #5 Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani will pitch the Friday right after the All Star break according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani had left in the seventh inning of last Friday’s game due to tightness in his right biceps in the bottom of the sixth inning while hitting.
