The Rochester Red Wings kept pace in the International League on Saturday, edging the Worcester Red Sox 3-2 in a tight one. No individual stats were available, but the win keeps Rochester in the mix heading deeper into the summer schedule.
The bigger news came out of New York, where the Knicks wrapped up the NBA Championship with a 94-90 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Jalen Brunson carried the offense with 45 points, doing most of the heavy lifting against a Spurs team that finished the season 62-20 — a genuinely strong opponent to knock off for the title. It’s worth noting: the Knicks finished the regular season 53-29, making this a case where the better record didn’t win the ring.
The Yankees continued their steady run of form, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on a Paul Goldschmidt home run in the ninth inning. New York has now won five of their last six games and sits at 42-27 on the season. Toronto falls to 34-37 with the loss.
