Some people may be wondering what’s going on in the MLB right now. Well first when the LA Dodgers played the San Diego Padres, the games were very heated, and people said it was like watching a playoff game in April.
Then we have the New York Yankees, who have started out with one of their worst winning records in franchise history. Unfortunately, the Washington Nationals have not had the best start, between a delayed season due to COVID and injuries, but they are really starting to heat up, especially infielder Trea Turner.
Now going to the American League (AL) Chicago White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodón is looking like a possible Cy Young award winner. Now let’s move on to the Chicago team, the Chicago Cubs, they are not off to the best start but 1st baseman Anthony Rizzo Struck out last year's National League (NL) most valuable player (MVP) Freddie “Fredrick” Freeman.
Throughout the season so far, it has seemed like a lot of the star players have gotten injured, and while some teams have been doing fine without their stars; other teams just haven’t been so lucky.
Lastly Nationals right hand pitcher Kyle Finnegan threw the first immaculate inning since Zac Plesac on September 18th, 2020, Finnegan threw his against the Braves striking out Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson and William Contreras.
