IINDYCAR driver Helio Castroneves will return for the full 2022 NTT INDYCAR Series. Castroneves will drive the number six car, an AutoNation/Sirius XM Honda for the Meyer Shank Racing.

The relatively new team has two podium finished, along with an Indy 500 win to its record.
The Detroit Tigers’ winning streak was extended to seven games on Thursday afternoon as they defeated the Rangers, 7-5. Eric Haase opened the scoring for Detroit with a 3-run first inning homerun.

Austin Meadows had the game winning RBI as Tampa Bay won 5 to 4 in ten innings.
The Cubs and Cardinals wrapped up a four game series on Thursday. The Cardinals opened up a quick three run lead after three innings.

In the fourth, Jake Marisnick doubled home Baez and Wisdom to cut the lead to 3-2. That score would hold the remainder of the ball game.
