## Resource

The season has been INSANE so far. Jackson Merrill robs Julio Rodriguez of a two-run home run and then hits a walk-off double, giving the Padres their seventh straight win. While Shohei Ohtani may not be hitting, he is on fire with his pitching. In a game against the Mets, he throws 10 strikeouts helping the Dodgers secure an 8-2 win. Ben Rice has the best stats in the MLB right now, so why hasn’t he been in the Yankees’ starting lineup for the past few games? Plus, The Mets trade Richard Lovelady and Shea Langeliers hits the longest home run of the season. One thing to pack, five ways to power!
