Around the league ...
Pete Alonso broke the NL rookie home run record yesterday with his 40th home run of the year. Cody Bellinger previously held this record with 39 home runs in 2017 and he was a really good sport about it.

ESPN analyst Jessica Mendoza was involved in a car accident last week, resulting in her missing last week’s Sunday Night Baseball broadcast. She is doing better and is now doing coverage of the Little League World Series.
Speaking of the Little League World Series, the Pirates and Cubs played in the Little League Classic yesterday. It’s the annual game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the two teams both wore “little league” uniforms!
It was a fun day for baseball.
