Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac back with another Sports Report for ya! Baseball, basketball, gambling…all in this edition! But first!
Holy Cow! Did you see the Yankee game last night? Starter Domingo German threw a perfect game! BAM!
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 28: Domingo German #0 of the New York Yankees pitches against the Oakland Athletics in the bottom of the ninth inning enroute to a no-hit perfect game at RingCentral Coliseum on June 28, 2023 in Oakland, California.

It’s just the fourth perfect game in Yankee history (Don Larson, David Wells, David Cone did it previously)…as German was amazing…going the distance…giving up no runs, no hits, no walks, while striking out nine. And it’s just the 24th perfect game in MLB history. It’s also the first perfect game in the MLB since 2012.

German has had a bit of a roller-coaster start to his young career as a member of the Yanks. He has excellent stuff…but has been up-and-down mostly. Hopefully this is a turning point in his career where he realizes he has dominant stuff.

In any event…what an absolutely incredible performance by German. If the Yankees can’t hit without Aaron Judge, at least they can pitch! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents!

German Perfect In Yanks Win
As discussed above, Domingo German threw a perfect game in he Yankees’ 11-0 victory over the A’s last night. German improves to 5 and 5 this year and hopefully this brings him more consistency. The Yanks are now 44 and 36.

Mets Owner Cohen Calls Out Team
Mets owner Steve Cohen is NOT happy with the team right now. Cohen stated yesterday: “All is not lost yet, but it’s getting late. I’m preparing my management team for all possibilities. If they don’t get better, we have decisions to make at the trade deadline. That’s not my preferred end result. We’re preparing all contingencies.” The Mets currently have the highest payroll in MLB history at $360 million and are currently in fourth place.
