Walker powers Kansas City!
This is The Sports Reset for Tuesday September 15th
In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 31 to 10 behind a dominant debut from Kenneth Walker III. Walker ran for 173 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yard score on fourth-and-one, while Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in his return from knee surgery. In MLB, the Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Cincinnati Reds 4 to 1 and secured their 14th consecutive postseason berth, tying the league record, as Tarik Skubal worked seven scoreless innings. The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 8 to 3, with Aaron Judge’s three-run homer completing a six-run eighth, and clinched their 61st playoff appearance. The Chicago White Sox stayed atop the AL Central by beating the Cleveland Guardians 7 to 3.
Up next, the Dodgers continue their MLB series with the Reds carrying a magic number of three for a fifth straight NL West title. The White Sox and Guardians meet again in a key AL Central game, while the Yankees return against the Twins after winning six of seven. Elsewhere, the Detroit Tigers face the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Athletics visit the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. In the NFL, the Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night after Walker produced the most rushing yards by a Kansas City player since 2012. Beyond the scoreboard, the Toronto Raptors finalized the NBA trade bringing Kawhi Leonard back from the Los Angeles Clippers for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a pick swap.
