By Elsie A. Dotson 3 years ago

June 14th, 2022 features a jam-packed 16-game MLB Tuesday highlighted by Aaron Judge‘s Yankees facing Wander Franco‘s Rays in a divisional battle. Christian Yelich‘s slumping Brewers visit Francisco Lindor‘s NL-leading Mets, the Phillies host Miami after Rhys Hoskins‘ walk-off double, and Max Fried leads the Braves’ quest for a 13th-straight win in Washington. The Finals move back to Boston after Golden State’s comfortable win (despite Curry‘s struggles) pushed BOS to the brink, while QB’s settle into their new teams at NFL minicamps. 

See what happened in sports on June 14th last year, headlined by the Clippers and Hawks getting even at 2-2 with No. 1 seeds Utah and Philly, Kawhi‘s rim-rattling poster as he and PG13 each had 30-plus in their win, and the NBA releasing their All-Defensive teams as well as what happened in sports on June 14th, 2020 ft. ESPN’s ‘Long Gone Summer’ documentary premiering plus the anniversary of Michael Jordan’s iconic game-winner over the Utah Jazz in Game 6 to seal a championship.
