August 19th, 2022 was highlighted by Triston McKenzie’s spectacular 14-strikeout gem leading Cleveland to a big win against AL-Central rival CHW. Kevin Gausman posted another great road start as NYY’s historic offensive funk continued in their 24th loss in 36 contests, Vlad Guerrero Jr. notched 500 hits faster than any Blue Jay ever, and Pete Alonso set a Mets record with his 100th RBI. Trayce Thompson saved the Dodgers win vs. Miami with a sparkling snag, while Albert Almora added to his ridiculous highlight reel by making two crazy catches.
