- This story adds another great chapter, with the pizza place that Jesse Winker got his surprise pizza from providing a $1,000 donation to St. Jude’s in the name of the Doordash driver who delivered it to him.
“Making a donation is the ultimate sign of solidarity. Actions speak louder than words.”
Thank you so much @MountainMikes

- The Mariners have agreed to a minor league deal with right-hander Chris Mazza.

Around the league…
- Ronald Acuña, Jr. and Aaron Judge were guaranteed All-Star Game spots since they earned the most votes in the first round of voting. Major League Baseball also announced the finalists for every other position. Ty France will go up against Vlad Guerrero, Jr. for the right to represent the American League at first base.
- It’s been a really tough season for Joey Gallo.
Joey Gallo had a .138 BA with 32 K in June.
Gallo is the first player in Yankees history with a sub-.150 batting average and 30+ K in any month.
