The Rochester Red Wings edged the Worcester Red Sox 7-6 on Tuesday, picking up a hard-fought win in Triple-A East action. Details on the late innings weren’t available, but the one-run margin tells the story well enough.
The big story from a national standpoint was hard to ignore: the New York Knicks came back from 22 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-104 in overtime in Game 1 of their playoff series. Jalen Brunson led the charge for New York, which came in with a 53-29 record against Cleveland’s 52-30. A 22-point fourth-quarter deficit isn’t something teams typically climb out of — this one is worth noting.
The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in what sounds like a warm one — 90-degree heat at game time. Homers from Rice and McMahon provided the margin, and New York held on for the win to improve to 30-19. Toronto falls to 21-27 with the loss, continuing a rough stretch for the Blue Jays.
