What’s Happening in Sports: June 29, 2022

By Elsie A. Dotson 3 years ago

June 29th, 2022 features a stellar 15-game MLB schedule highlighted by Alek Manoah continuing his breakout campaign as Toronto looks for a sweep over Boston after Vlad Guerrero‘s walk-off single. The ageless wonder Justin Verlander and Houston try to take a fourth straight against Pete Alonso‘s Mets, Atlanta and Philly continue a huge NL-East set, while Shohei Ohtani goes for LAA vs. the White Sox. The Knicks are amongst teams clearing cap space as free agency approaches, plus NFL franchises look to lock up stars after McLaurin re-signed in DC. 

See what happened in sports on June 29th last year, headlined by Atlanta taking ECF Game 4 to even the series vs. Milwaukee despite Trae Young‘s absence after Giannis missed the second half with a rough-looking knee injury and Lou Williams‘ big outing (21 PTS, 8 AST, 7-9 FG) in place of Ice Trae, plus Kyle Schwarber‘s homer streak continued as well as what happened in sports on June 29th, 2020 ft. Ryan Zimmerman and many other MLB players opting out of the 2020 season plus J.R. Smith signing with the Lakers to replace Avery Bradley.
