Giancarlo Stanton's performance led the Yankees to a 4-0 victory over the Red Sox, extending New York's winning streak to four games.
"I feel like 100 is the new 95," said Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Will Klein, who first hit 100 in a summer ball all-star game in 2020 and expects to again this season, having topped out thus far at 98.8 mph. "It used to be, 'You throw 95, that's gas.' Now, it's 100. And now you see starters out there sitting 100."
Colin Rea shut down the Phillies Monday night, allowing just 1 run in 6.2 innings to lift the Cubs to their sixth straight win. It was only the second start of the season for Rea, who worked behind an opener in Philadelphia his last time out and has also served in a long relief role.
The Cubs are sitting as slim -115 favorites, with the Phillies at -105 to win outright. Even with Aaron Nola on the bump, the books are showing respect to Colin Rea's undefeated start.
The logjam actually serves as a positive in the long-run. Every guy in the equation is motivated to keep the intensity higher throughout the season, pushing each other to perform at their best.
