Liberty Win, Yankees Dominate

The New York Liberty are on fire, winning their second straight game with a 75-68 victory over the Phoenix Mercury, led by rookie Pauline Astier’s 16 points and 6 assists, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton’s 13 off the bench, and Jonquel Jones’ dominant double-double. Meanwhile, the Yankees crushed the A’s 8-2 despite Jazz Chisholm’s quiet night, fueled by home runs from Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt. Ronald Acuña Jr. launched a homer as the Braves, under Antoan Richardson, beat the Reds 8-3. And in the minors, Chicago Cubs’ BJ Murray is lighting up Triple-A, nearly hitting for the cycle with a single, double, triple, and three runs scored — a breakout performance that’s got major eyes on him.
