⚾️Red Sox: Rafael Devers went three-for-four and blasted his 19th home run of the year yesterday, helping the Sox to a 9–2 win and a series sweep over the NY Yankees. It’s the second time Boston has swept the Yankees this season. Some rivalry, huh?

  • The Sox now face the Kansas City Royals tonight at 7:10 p.m. ET, but while you wait, you can vote for Boston’s four All-Star finalists beginning today at noon.

👟Track & Field: Massachusetts will be well-represented on the international stage in Tokyo. As we mentioned, Harvard grad Gabby Thomas qualified for her first-ever Olympics with a blazing fast finish in the 200m.

  • She’ll be joined by Peabody-native, UMass Amherst alum and Dunkin’ lover Heather MacLean, who finished third in the 1,500m, and former UMass Boston star Wadeline Jonathas, who qualified in the 400m. Wicked proud.
