This Date in Baseball - Ken Griffey Jr. retires and Clayton Kershaw records his 2,000 career K

June 2 1928 -- Les Bell of the Boston Braves hit three home runs and a triple at Braves Field, but the Cincinnati Reds came away with a 20-12 triumph. 1928 -- The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1. All the runs came from three pinch-hit home runs. 1941 -- Lou Gehrig died in New York at age 37. 1949 -- The Philadelphia Phillies hit five homers in the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds. Andy Seminick hit two and Del Ennis, Willie Jones, and Schoolboy Rowe hit one apiece. Seminick had homered earlier in the game. 1959 -- The Baltimore Orioles-Chicago White Sox game at Comiskey Park was delayed for nearly half an hour as a swarm of gnats overcame the field. Groundskeepers tried using bug sprays and torches, but the gnats wouldn't budge. A postgame fireworks display was brought in from center field and a smoke bomb was attached to the framework. The gnats left and the Orioles defeated the White Sox, 3-2. 1990 -- Randy Johnson pitched the first no-hitter in the Seattle Mariners' history as he beat the Detroit Tigers 2-0. The 6-foot-10 left-hander, walked six and struck out eight while pitching the first no-hitter at the Kingdome, which opened for baseball in 1977. 1996 -- Houston starter Darryl Kile tied the modern major league record by hitting four batters in a 2-0 loss at St. Louis, and the first to do it in the NL since Moe Drabowsky in 1957. 2000 -- Tampa Bay's Fred McGriff hit his 400th career home run, but the Devil Rays lost to the Mets 5-3. 2000 -- Rick Aguilera of the Chicago Cubs became the 13th pitcher with 300 saves in a 2-0 win over Detroit. Aguilera reached the mark in 614 career appearances, third quickest. 2002 -- Philadelphia pitcher Robert Person drove in seven runs with a grand slam and a three-run homer in an 18-3 win over Montreal. Person had just come off the disabled list and collected his first win of the season. 2005 -- Kansas City completed a sweep of the New York Yankees with a 5-2 victory. The Royals, who have the worst record and second-lowest payroll in the major leagues, finished their first three-game sweep of the Yankees at home in 15 years. 2009 -- Dan Uggla of the Marlins became the fastest second baseman to 100 homers in Florida's 10-3 win over Milwaukee. Uggla's two-run shot in the bottom of the second came in his 502nd game as a second baseman, beating Alfonso Soriano to 100 by 34 games. 2010 — Ken Griffey Jr. announces his retirement after 22 seasons in the major leagues. Hitting only .184 in part-time duty for the Mariners, he retires with 630 career home runs and six seasons of 40 or more homers. Most of his career was spent with Seattle and the Cincinnati Reds. 2010 -- Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers lost his bid for a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning on a call that first base umpire Jim Joyce later admitted he blew. First baseman Miguel Cabrera cleanly fielded Jason Donald's grounder to his right and made an accurate throw to Galarraga covering the bag. The ball was there in time, and all of Comerica Park was ready to celebrate the 3-0 win over Cleveland, until Joyce emphatically signaled safe. 2011 -- Aubrey Huff hit three home runs and matched his career best with six RBIs and the San Francisco Giants posted a 12-7 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Huff hit two-run homers in the fourth and ninth and a solo shot in the seventh. 2015 — In a memorable major league debut, Rangers 3B Joey Gallo hits a two-run homer in his second at-bat on the way to collecting 3 hits and 4 RBIs in leading Texas to a 15-2 beating of the White Sox. 2017 — Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers records his 2,000 career strikeout. 2018 — Jacob deGrom matches a career high set just two weeks earlier by racking up 13 strikeouts in 7 innings in a start against the Cubs. _____

Eagles gain $6.42M of cap space thanks to June 1 designations for Slay and Bradberry

Eagles gain $6.42M of cap space thanks to June 1 designations for Slay and Bradberry The NFL's June 1 Date is here, and the Philadelphia Eagles gain $6.42 million of salary cap space with the release of Darius Slay and James Bradberry It's not the official start of summer in the NFL, but June 1 is a massive date around the league and will likely play a factor in several players moving on or teams taking a risk on a considerable trade. In NFL terminology, June 1 is the final day that teams see all future prorated money accelerate as 'dead money' if a player is released. This morning, Philadelphia gained salary cap space, as any player designated for a post-June one release earlier this year will move from the active roster to the dead money side of the books. Darius Slay is now a Steelers cornerback, and James Bradberry is a free agent, but their salary cap ramifications will be felt in the coming season. June 1 impact June 1 marks the final day of the NFL calendar when a player is cut or traded; any future bonus money accelerates into the 2025 league year. Starting tomorrow, the rules allow the team to defer all that acceleration to 2025 if they release a player. June 2nd also marks when the NFL will officially process the post-June 1 designations. Starting Thursday, June 2, any released player will only have his current season's prorated money count against the salary cap, and the rest will be deferred to 2026. Darius Slay According to Over The Cap, Darius Slay will see his cap number for the Eagles drop from $13.77 million to $9.44 million this year. He will count for $13.26 million on the cap in 2026. Slay signed a 1 year, $10 million contract with Pittsburgh following his release. James Bradberry Philadelphia released Bradberry before the start of free agency, and according to Over the Cap, his salary cap number drops from $4.86 million to $2.76 million, with $7.75 million in dead money hitting the books in 2026. Trade time Lots of trades happen after the June 1 date, and a player to watch was soon-to-be former Eagles pass rusher Bryce Huff, who could use a change of scenery. Had the Eagles cut Huff before June 1, they'd have a dead cap hit of $28,849,412 on their books and a cap loss of $21,438,559. UPDATE: Philadelphia is indeed finalizing a deal that'll send Huff to San Francisco for a mid-round pick. The agreement should be officially announced in the coming days. According to Over the Cap, the Eagles will pick up about $3.6 million with the trade of Bryce Huff and the retirement of Brandon Graham. Huff will have $4.94 million in dead money this year and $16.614 million next year. What is dead cap money in the NFL? Dead money, which is also known as "dead cap space" or simply "dead cap." Dead money is a salary cap charge for a player no longer on a team's roster. Typically, it stems from guaranteed money already given to a player in the form of signing bonuses who is either released, traded or retires. In the event that the team and player part ways before the end of the contract, whether it's via a release, trade, or retirement, the remaining prorated bonus accelerates onto the team's current salary cap. That creates the dead money charge, which ensures the total value of the contract paid by the team matches the overall cap charges the player accrued while with the organization. According to Over The Cap, Philadelphia will carry $55,531,930 in dead money. Jason Kelce -$16,438,000 Josh Sweat -$16,438,000 Fletcher Cox -$10,100,000 Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Jr. -$4,620,000 Mekhi Becton -$3,484,706 Devin White- $2,193,412 Zack Baun -$1,900,000 Dylan McMahon -$139,575 TOTAL- $55,531,930
