MLB ROUNDUP: FRAMBER VALDEZ FANS 9 AS TIGERS WIN 5TH STRAIGHT Framber Valdez threw seven innings of one-run ball to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 4-1 win over the visiting Athletics on Thursday night. Valdez (5-6) retired the first 11 hitters he faced and allowed just three hits, struck out nine and issued no walks in a dominant performance. Jake Rogers, Zach McKinstry and Eduardo Valencia hit home runs for Detroit, which won its fifth consecutive game and completed a sweep of the A’s, who have dropped six straight contests. Valencia, called up to give Detroit cover at catcher as starter Dillon Dingler deals with a right-hand contusion, pinch hit for Kerry Carpenter in the seventh. The 26-year-old from Venezuela delivered a homer to center off Hogan Harris, becoming the 10th Tigers player to homer in his first career major league at-bat. Jacob Wilson was 2-for-4 for the Athletics, whose five hits were all singles. Jack Perkins (2-5) took the loss, serving as the bulk reliever on a scheduled bullpen day and allowing three runs in three innings. Rangers 7, Angels 6 Wyatt Langford singled in Alejandro Osuna with one out in the bottom of the ninth as Texas moved into first place in the American League West with a walk-off victory over visiting Los Angeles in the rubber match of their three-game series. Langford, activated off the injury list earlier in the day after missing time with a hamstring strain, lined a 1-1 fastball from Angels reliever Kirby Yates (0-4) over the head of left fielder Jose Siri to drive in Osuna. Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored, Justin Foscue homered and doubled with two RBIs and Ezequiel Duran also hit a two-run homer for Texas. Nolan Schanuel went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored and Wade Meckler had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI for Los Angeles, which lost for the eighth time in the last nine games. Braves 10, Pirates 5 Mike Yastrzemski crashed his third career grand slam in the ninth to break open the game and clinch Atlanta’s first series win in Pittsburgh in four years. Rookie Jim Jarvis (3-for-5) contributed his first career homer and Matt Olson added a solo homer for the Braves. Dylan Dodd (2-0) tossed a perfect fifth after starter Bryce Elder surrendered four hits and four runs (three earned) in four innings. Jake Mangum stroked four hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs for the Pirates. Bryan Reynolds and Esmerlyn Valdez cracked back-to-back solo shots in the third. Starter Mitch Keller (6-7) gave up three runs and four hits in a season-low three innings. Red Sox 2, White Sox 1 Caleb Durbin cracked a two-run homer and Patrick Sandoval pitched effectively in his first major league outing in two years as Boston extended its winning streak to eight games while sweeping host Chicago. Sandoval, sidelined by Tommy John surgery and other injuries since June 21, 2024, scattered five hits and one run over 4 1/3 innings in his Red Sox debut. Tyron Guerrero (1-1) got five outs in relief and Aroldis Chapman earned his 19th save. The Red Sox had just four hits as Willson Contreras started to serve his five-game suspension. White Sox starter Anthony Kay (6-4) allowed two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. Colson Montgomery posted two of the seven hits for the White Sox, who became the first MLB team this season to go without an extra-base hit in a three-game series. Mets 7, Royals 3 Rookie Carson Benge and Francisco Alvarez hit RBI singles in a five-run fifth inning, Sean Manaea pitched a season-high seven innings and host New York recorded a victory over Kansas City to win its first series since mid-June. Tyrone Taylor started the big inning with a tying homer to left field. Soto also homered and reached base three times for the Mets. Manaea (2-4) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and went seven innings for the first time since the 2024 NLDS against the Phillies. Lane Thomas hit a leadoff homer and Bobby Witt Jr. also homered for the Royals. Michael Wacha (5-7) allowed six runs on six hits in a season-worst 4 2/3 innings, dropping Kansas City to 4-10 in its last 14 games. Yankees 12, Rays 4 Ben Rice bashed two home runs and finished with five RBIs and three runs as New York walloped Tampa Bay to split a four-game series in St. Petersburg, Fla. Rice hit a two-run shot during the Yankees’ six-run third inning. Austin Wells had a solo home run and Ryan McMahon had two doubles and two RBIs as the Yankees scored at least six runs in a game for the first time in 21 contests. Rays slugger Junior Caminero homered for the 12th time in 16 games. Chandler Simpson lashed two triples, and Ben Williamson and Jonathan Aranda each had two hits. Orioles 3, Cubs 2 Jeremiah Jackson hit a pinch-hit, two-run double in the eighth inning to give Baltimore the lead, paving the way to a 3-2 defeat of Chicago to avoid a three-game series sweep. After entering in the seventh inning Wednesday and homering in both at-bats, Tyler O’Neill homered in the second to double his season total to six after going yard in three straight at-bats. Starter Trevor Rogers allowed one run on five hits over six innings. Seiya Suzuki had both of the Cubs’ RBIs, homering in the sixth and delivering a go-ahead double in the eighth. Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong rapped doubles for Chicago, which had nine hits to Baltimore’s three. David Peterson held Baltimore to one run on two hits for five innings before Tyler Ferguson (0-1) allowed two runs in a third of an inning. Guardians 5, Twins 2 Gavin Williams matched a season high with 11 strikeouts and Cleveland belted three solo homers in a victory over Minnesota in Minneapolis. Williams (10-4) allowed two runs on three hits over seven innings to halt a five-start winless skid. Gabriel Arias went deep in the second inning, rookie Chase DeLauter added the go-ahead blast in the sixth and Patrick Bailey homered in the ninth. Cleveland produced six hits in the game — three home runs and three doubles. Minnesota’s Royce Lewis scored on Tristan Gray’s RBI single in the fifth inning and led off the seventh with a homer. Lewis (2-for-3) had two of the Twins’ three hits. Marlins 8, Mariners 4 Janson Junk, pitching for the first time since May 25, threw five strong innings to lead streaking Miami to a win over visiting Seattle. The Marlins have earned six straight victories, matching their best streak of the season, and have also won 16 of their past 18 home games. Griffin Conine homered and had three hits as Miami gave Junk plenty of run support, as he allowed one earned run on three hits. The Mariners got homers from Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone but still lost their third straight game. Bryce Miller (4-3) took the loss as his ERA rose from 1.71 to 2.18. He allowed season highs across the board — nine hits, four walks, six runs, four earned — in five innings. Phillies 1, Reds 0 Justin Crawford drove home pinch runner Derek Hill for the game’s only run to support seven masterful innings from Jesus Luzardo as visiting Philadelphia claimed the rubber game with Cincinnati. Luzardo (8-4) outdueled Cincinnati starter Brady Singer (3-9) to improve to 6-0 in 11 road starts this season. Jonathan Bowlan pitched a perfect eighth and Jhoan Duran handled the ninth for his 23rd save in 24 chances this season. Luzardo was pulled after seven innings, allowing just two hits, striking out 11 and walking two. Luzardo now has a 1.38 ERA on the road. Singer allowed four hits and one walk, striking out five over a season-high 7 1/3 innings. Brewers 8, Cardinals 4 Jake Bauers and Brice Turang went deep for Milwaukee, who capped a long week in St. Louis by beating the Cardinals and taking four of the five games. Turang (2-for-5) and Bauers (2-for-4) were joined by Jackson Chourio (2-for-5), Sal Frelick (2-for-4) and Cooper Pratt (2-for-3) as part of an 11-hit attack. Bauers hit a three-run shot, his 17th, to cap a four-run third inning. Turang hit his 13th long ball to lead off the seventh as he drove in a pair. Jordan Walker homered for the Cardinals, who managed just five hits while falling for the fifth time in their last six games. Starter Andre Pallante (10-6) went five innings, giving up six runs on eight hits and two walks. ===== CARDINALS OF JORDAN WALKER ENTERS HR DERBY Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker will take a swing at the Home Run Derby on Monday night in Philadelphia. A first-time All-Star, Walker entered Thursday with a career-high 21 home runs and led Major League Baseball with 70 RBIs in a breakout season in St. Louis. Walker, 24, is the first Cardinals player in the annual slugfest since Albert Pujols in 2022. Fans at Citizens Bank Ballpark on Monday night would be advised to take cover. Walker is averaging 94.2 mph exit velocity, tied for fifth among qualified hitters, per Statcast. He’ll participate alongside Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, Yankees first baseman Ben Rice, Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone and Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras. Three spots remain to fill the eight-player field. ===== ALAN PORTER TO UMPIRE BEHIND THE PLATE IN MLB ALL-STAR GAME AT PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK (AP) — Alan Porter will be the umpire crew chief and call balls and strikes for Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park. The 48-year-old made his major league debut in 2010, joined the major league staff in 2013 and became a crew chief in 2023. He was the right field umpire for the 2015 All-Star Game and worked the World Series in 2019, 2022 and 2025. Porter will be joined by Chris Conroy at first, Chad Whitson at second, Ryan Additon at third, Adam Beck in left and Edwin Moscoso in right. Vic Carapazza will be the video review umpire in New York. ===== WHO GOES NO. 1 IN THE DRAFT? HERE ARE THE ODDS AND THE CASE FOR EACH CANDIDATE The start of the 2026 MLB Draft is just days away. On Saturday, shortly after 1 p.m. ET, the White Sox will answer the question everyone has been waiting to have answered: Who will be the No. 1 pick? In these final days, the White Sox still have three players they are discussing for that first overall selection: Texas high school shortstop Grady Emerson, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky and Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey. Those are the top three prospects, in order, on MLB Pipeline’s current Draft Top 250 prospects list. 2026 MLB DRAFT PRESENTED BY NIPPON EXPRESS Day 1: Saturday, July 11 (Rounds 1-4) • 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET – Picks 1-10 (NBC/Peacock) • 2:30-4:30 p.m. ET – Picks 11-40 (MLB Network, MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+) • 4:30-7:45 p.m. ET – Picks 41-135 (MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+) Day 2: Sunday, July 12 (Rounds 5-20) • 11:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. ET (MLB.com, MLB.TV, MLB+) They’re not on the same plane in terms of how likely they are to go in the top spot though. The general consensus is that it’s a two-man race, with Emerson and Cholowsky pretty much even with each other as the only true contenders. Lackey is on the outside looking in, still being discussed only as a contingency plan. 1. Chicago White Sox Pick: Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (TX) The top tier of this draft is generally seen as three players deep: Texas high school shortstop Grady Emerson, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, and Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey. Teams picking behind the top three believe the most likely scenario is that those guys will come off the board in some order, with Roch and Emerson having been mentioned up top with Chicago, while Lackey has not been. The White Sox attempted to sign Cholowsky out of high school and no doubt like him, but everyone has the same question about Roch: Will his swing work in pro ball as well as it has so far? There really aren’t questions like that about Emerson. We might learn pretty quickly that Cholowsky is going to strike out more than we want him to, whereas that seems unlikely for Emerson. Conversely, Emerson might surprise us and get stronger than we expect, at which point he’d pretty clearly have the best ceiling of this trio, and you can’t really say that about the college guys, who can either meet our expectations or fall short of them. 2. Tampa Bay Rays Pick: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This seems like a match made in heaven for both player and team. The Rays have been looking for their catcher of the future for a long time, and they value the things Lackey does well (like throw and play defense) as highly as any team. He’d move quickly and aid a perpetually competitive roster, and perhaps exorcise the Buster Posey/Tim Beckham demons. If the Rays want to cut an under-slot deal, Tyler Bell is the player I would both recommend and predict the Rays do it with given that they drafted him coming out of high school. 3. Minnesota Twins Pick: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA The Twins seem likely to take whichever of the top three players remains, which in this scenario is Cholowsky. When the Giants traded for Cleveland’s comp pick in May as part of the Patrick Bailey deal, there was speculation that it might be with an eye toward buying one of the top three players back to the fourth pick. If that’s true and I’m Minnesota, I’m asking for forgiveness and not permission as I take that player. I’m turning in the name without having a conversation with the agent and daring them not to take slot here, especially if it’s a college player who remains. 4. San Francisco Giants Pick: Jackson Flora, RHP, UC Santa Barbara I’m cutting against the grain of my sources here, who have tended to put one of the next tier of high school hitters with San Francisco. That’s simply not what the Giants did last year under their current leadership; instead, they took safe college players. That hasn’t solely been their modus operandi since Michael Holmes became Amateur Director in 2022 (they drafted Bryce Eldridge and Walker Martin in 2023), but it mostly has been, Dakota Jordan aside. The other decision-makers (Posey and Zack Minasian) were inserted late in 2024. Maybe that means they’ve had an opportunity to get comfortable with this year’s high school class in a way that wasn’t true of last year’s group, putting high school outfielder Eric Booth Jr. and shortstop Jacob Lombard truly in play here. Teams picking behind the Giants certainly think so. No pitcher is “safe,” but Flora’s combination of ceiling, proximity, and polish (not to mention good vibes, which the Giants badly need) threads the needle for them and fits better with the way the team has actually behaved of late. I’d have Booth ahead of Lombard here if it turns out I’m wrong; there’s just a different degree of risk associated with the latter. 5. Pittsburgh Pirates Pick: Eric Booth Jr., OF, Oak Grove HS (MS) It makes sense for the Pirates to cut here because they have four top-51 selections and there’s a good chance they could buy back a top-30 player to at least one of those, but they simply haven’t operated like that lately. They’ve happily taken high schoolers for slot and still walked away from drafts with lots of exciting young talent without having to get creative. There’s industry speculation that the suddenly competitive Pirates will take a college player who can move quickly to help the big league cause, but as we’ve seen with Konnor Griffin, it doesn’t necessarily take long for the high schoolers to arrive when you draft the right one. 6. Kansas City Royals Pick: Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Prep (FL) There is persistent industry buzz that the Royals are at least considering cutting a deal here, right on down to the amount they’d be looking to save (about $2 million), but logically, that’s contingent upon the players they like a lot being gone when they pick. I am not sure what they think of Lombard. Scouting Director Brian Bridges has had an appetite for hit tool risk before (Jac Caglianone, Sean Gamble and Josh Hammond were the tops picks in his two drafts as Royals’ Director) and he was with the Giants they drafted Eldridge, Martin, and Reggie Crawford. Lombard is in that category of player. If the Royals cut a deal, the names bandied about have been two-way high school player Jared Grindlinger, top high school pitcher Gio Rojas, and USC left-hander Mason Edwards. 7. Baltimore Orioles Pick: Tyler Bell, SS, Kentucky The Orioles have drafted toolsy hitters with strikeout issues, including some who feel like they have zero chance to hit (like Vance Honeycutt), and in that vein, folks are putting them with Lombard if he’s here. More broadly, the Orioles prioritize players who can access power and have positional value, and similar to Colton Cowser a few years ago, Bell is that guy. Of the college hitters who project to start coming off the board in this range, Bell, Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron, and Arkansas catcher Ryder Helfrick are the players who best fit that description, along with high school third baseman Bo Lowrance (who I have ranked in this range). 8. Athletics Pick: Christopher Hacopian, 2B, Texas A&M The A’s tend to be on college bats, including ones who have little to no defensive ability, especially when they have some elite data characteristics. That’s Hacopian to a tee. He has a 95-97% contact rate versus fastballs the last two seasons, including on Cape Cod, and performed this way despite fighting through injury. On the one hand, the injuries have limited his data sample and made it less reliable. On the other, it’s incredible what he’s done despite being dinged up. LSU center fielder Derek Curiel and Louisville outfielder Zion Rose (this is the earliest he’s been mentioned) are the other college hitters with a premium data trait (contact) in this range, and there are folks picking behind the A’s who think they might see Ryder Helfrick as a Sean Murphy reboot. 9. Atlanta Braves Pick: Derek Curiel, CF, LSU The Braves tend to prioritize up-the-middle players regardless of whether they’re high school or college players, and they’ve been willing to use top picks on high school pitching in recent years. It might be tempting for them to take Georgia Tech outfielder Drew Burress here. He’s a local kid, and they have first hand knowledge of the fact that small players can be great (Ozzie Albies). It’d be fun, but Burress isn’t a center field lock like Curiel is, and the Braves love to take speed/contact guys who they help to swing harder and unlock power. Curiel fits that bill. I’ve heard Christopher Hacopian’s name here, too. There’s speculation that Florida high school lefty Gio Rojas could be a fit here, but all the high school pitchers the Braves take have pretty deliveries, and Rojas does not. 10. Colorado Rockies Pick: Zion Rose, OF, Louisville When a team has turnover at the top of their front office, I tend to mock college players to them the following year because it’s much easier to get up to speed on the college class since the important high school activity has already happened when they’re hired. Rockies GM Josh Byrnes, who came from the Dodgers, has always seen lots of players throughout the amateur calendar, so I’m not sure that logic holds as true for him as the baseline. That said, Rose, who has homes from here to the mid-20s, does a lot of the stuff the Dodgers targeted in their drafts while Byrnes was there. He hits for contact, he’s fast, and he might have another offensive gear if his approach and swing can be tweaked so that he pulls the ball more. 11. Washington Nationals Pick: Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech The Nats brought in Justin Horowitz from the Pirates and Desmond McGowan from the Mets analytics department to help navigate the draft under Paul Toboni. Horowitz, of course, piloted high-upside drafts in Pittsburgh, while the Mets’ draftee traits have been measurable power and pitchers with big stuff, but relief risk. Burress has the measurable power piece and would be nice value here. Gio Rojas would be the upside/relief risk guy in this spot (arguably Florida righty Liam Peterson, too), but I don’t have team-specific dope to that end. Two-way California high schooler Jared Grindlinger has been mentioned here. 12. Los Angeles Angels Pick: Mason Edwards, LHP, USC Here’s a happy medium between what the Angels were doing under recently-fired GM Perry Minasian and what newly-hired John Mozeliak was doing in St. Louis. Edwards is a college lefty with knockout secondary stuff (especially his curveball) and a deceptive fastball that plays a little better than its velo, and he’s likely to move quickly. I’ve also heard the Angels with several of the college hitters who are already off the board in this scenario. 13. St. Louis Cardinals Pick: Jared Grindlinger, OF/LHP, Huntington Beach HS (CA) Grindlinger could go inside the top 10 on an under-slot deal, but he has homes from just before this pick running though the next several. The Cardinals’ approach has shifted from the command-oriented pitching prospects to guys with huge stuff and relief risk, which puts several of the next tier of college arms in play here. 14. Miami Marlins Pick: Gio Rojas, LHP, Stoneman Douglas HS (FL) The Marlins have targeted big upside in recent drafts, usually with power-hitting position players who have struggled to hit. A continuation of that strategy could lead them to Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron in this scenario. If they want to change course, well, most of the high-contact college hitters are off the board here. High school outfielder Trevor Condon is the prep version of that profile. This is late for the first prep arm to go and would be great value, with a cherry of positive optics on top because Rojas is local. 15. Arizona Diamondbacks Pick: Trevor Condon, CF, Etowah HS (GA) The D-backs like lefty bats and there are still several remaining here, though some of them have issues that would arguably make them feel like reaches. Mississippi State third baseman Ace Reese has huge power, but he strikes out a lot and can’t play defense, while Texas Tech and Virginia outfielders Logan Hughes and AJ Gracia are contact-oriented corner guys with modest power. I like third baseman Bo Lowrance enough to take him this high, but my sources have not connected him with Arizona. Condon is in their wheelhouse as a potential A.J. Ewing type of outfielder if he can add some pop as he gets stronger. 16. Texas Rangers Pick: Hunter Dietz, LHP, Arkansas There are lots of exciting college pitchers with some kind of injury history lurking in this portion of the draft, but Dietz’s issue (a stress fracture in his elbow) was a couple of years ago and he dominated the SEC this year. 17. Houston Astros Pick: Justin Lebron, SS, Alabama The Astros love toolsy, strikeout-prone college players, and they get an extreme version of that profile here with Lebron. Georgia catcher Daniel Jackson has also been mentioned with them, but it’s unclear if they’d have to take him here or if Jackson would make it to their next pick. High school third baseman Bo Lowrance’s range seems to start here. 18. Cincinnati Reds Pick: Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida The Reds have taken many players from Florida (the state and the university) over the years, and they aren’t obsessed with fastball shape (Peterson’s isn’t great), caring more about velocity and breaking ball quality, which Peterson has plenty of. Ryder Helfrick would be excellent value here, as he’s likely to be a good defensive catcher and get to power despite lots of strikeouts. There’s some Trevor Condon smoke if he gets here. 19. Cleveland Guardians Pick: Tyler Spangler, SS, De La Salle HS (CA) The Guardians tend to take someone who, four months ago, we’d have been shocked to learn had fallen so far. Sometimes that’s been Chase DeLauter and sometimes it’s Jace LaViolette. There are a number of players who either had down seasons or who felt like they plateaued in a disappointing way. Spangler looked like a top-15 pick coming out of last summer, then missed most of his senior year with injury and looked rusty at the Combine. Coastal Carolina righty Cameron Flukey is another faller. He entered the season as arguably the top pitcher in the class, but missed two months due to a stress fracture in his ribs and was wild when he returned. 20. Boston Red Sox Pick: Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina The Red Sox used high picks on nasty pitchers with relief risk last year, and there are several still around at this pick, including ASU lefty Cole Carlon, but Flukey’s strike-thrwoing track record with his fastball is much better, which is something last year’s Sox picks have struggled with. This is also a spot mentioned for an under-slot deal with a college bat. NC State and TCU center fielders Ty Head and Chase Brunson are Boston’s type. 21. San Diego Padres Pick: Bo Lowrance, 3B, Christ Church Episcopal (SC) Zion Rose would be in San Diego’s mix if he gets here, but I don’t think he’ll come close. Teams assume the Padres will be in play for whichever of the nasty lefties are still around (regardless of demo, though there are some who think they’ll just take another high schooler), but Lowrance does some of the things that Jackson Merril does, like cover the top of the strike zone with power, except he’s a huge-framed third baseman with the scout-y physical projection the Padres love. AJ Preller was at Notre Dame righty Jack Radel’s ACC Championship start, so perhaps he’s an under-slot option here. 22. Detroit Tigers Pick: Cole Carlon, LHP, Arizona State Carlon’s stuff would ordinarily come off the board in the middle of the first round, about where I’ve mocked Hunter Dietz, but he dealt with injury at the very end of the year (he was back for the Big 12 tournament and looked fine) and sometimes had trouble holding his velo deep into games. He has maybe the best breaking ball in the entire draft. 23. Chicago Cubs Pick: Aiden Robbins, OF, Texas The Cubs care a ton about Cape Cod performance, and Robbins, who has other homes toward the back of the first round, had a .936 OPS there in a huge sample. 24. Seattle Mariners Pick: Ryder Helfrick, C, Arkansas This would be a surprising tumble for Helfrick, and he could easily go up where I have the other strikeout-prone college hitters. There will probably be a few good college pitchers left here in real life. 25. Milwaukee Brewers Pick: Ace Reese, “3B”, Mississippi State Similar to Andrew Fischer, Reese has huge lefty power but is probably not a third baseman. Could the Brewers coax more power out of a better pure hitter, like AJ Gracia or Logan Hughes? 26. Atlanta Braves Pick: Carson Bolemon, LHP, Southside Christian (SC) Bolemon is the Braves’ type of high school pitcher, a well-built athlete with a graceful delivery, vertical fastball attack, and a power breaking ball. 27. New York Mets Pick: Tegan Kuhns, RHP, Tennessee Unlike some of the other relief risk pitchers the Mets have taken and developed of late (like Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat), Kuhns’ issues have to do with the quality of his secondary pitches. He’s a great athlete who throws strikes with an uphill fastball, and has some low-hanging developmental fruit (throw harder versions of his breaking balls). High school catcher Will Brick gets mentioned here as well. 28. Houston Astros Pick: Daniel Jackson, C, Georgia As mentioned above, the Astros like toolsy college guys, even when they have strikeout issues. Jackson’s were particularly bad once conference play began, though he went on to win the Golden Spikes.
