Brad Marchand flew toward the empty net, and there wasn’t a thing that Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo could do so he threw his stick at the puck. Forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi shattered his stick across the goal in frustration. Marchand had 2 goals, Patrice Bergeron, Jake DeBrusk and David Pastrnack all contributed 1 goal. The Boston Bruins pull of a 5-2 Game 4 victory to tie the series up at 2 games a piece.

The New York Mets win the 2nd game in a double-header against the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 and become the 1st team to hit 20 wins.
Colin Moran hit a grand slam and a 2-run homer against his former team, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday and finally giving the Reds their first series win of the season.
Yankee Stadium is known for its short porch that often turns routine fly balls into home runs. Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward is definitely not a fan of Yankee Stadium. Woodward’s Rangers fell victim to the ballpark’s short outfield during the 1st game of their doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Sunday. Yankees 2nd baseman Gleyber Torres walked off Texas with a home run into the right-field bleachers. “It’s a small ballpark. That’s an easy out in 99% of ballparks,” Woodward told reporters.
