The Sports Grind 7/5/23 Hour 1: Ohtani and Trout Go Down for the Angels. Joey Chesnut’s Case Among the Greatest Athletes. Dame Officially Asks Out of Portland.

It wasn’t all fireworks this holiday weekend in the MLB, and the Los Angeles Angels have almost seen the season blow up in their face. First, Mike Trout went down with a fractured wrist that will cost him time, then Shohei Ohtani was pulled early from the mount with more discomfort on his pitching hand. While those athletes are sidelined, Joey Chesnut was center stage as he claimed his 16th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest title. San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama called Chesnut the most dominant athlete of all time, but is eating really a sport? Speaking of the NBA, Damian Lillard officially asked for a trade out of Portland over the weekend, and the Spurs could play a major part.    Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso
