Zion Williamson has now scored 25+ points on 70.0% shooting in 4 straight road games at Minnesota. He’s the first player to have 4 straight road games with 25+ points on 70.0% FG% against any opponent since Wilt Chamberlain (November 25, 1966-March 19, 1967) at the Bullets.

The Nets' last 2 games: Lost by 54 to Knicks on Wednesday Lost to Celtics in 2OT on Friday They are the second team in NBA history to have a 50-point loss and a 2OT loss in the same month (let alone a two-game span), joining the Pacers in March 1977.

The @Mariners (17-1) and @Seahawks (3-1) are a combined 20-2 over the past 20 days. It's the first time ever an MLB team and an NFL team from the same metro area combined to win 20+ games in 20 days with each team contributing multiple wins (reg or post).

The @Yankees are the first team in MLB history to hit back-to-back-to-back homers in the first inning 3 times in the same season (March 29, April 29 & tonight).

Mason Fluharty of the @BlueJays recorded his first MLB save by retiring two batters, Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, with the bases loaded. The last MLB save which saw two former MVPs retired with the bases loaded was by Trevor Hoffman on 9/15/02 (Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent).

Shohei Ohtani has scored 110 runs this year. No one else in the NL has more than 80. This is the first time an NL player has had at least 30 more runs than any other player in the Senior Circuit at the end of any given day since 1932, when Chuck Klein led by as many as 37 runs.

In the last 40 years, only one MLB player has had a direct outfield assist (no relay) to cut down the potential tying run at the plate and end the game on two separate occasions. That one player is the @Brewers' Blake Perkins (June 16 last year vs. Reds, Friday night vs. Mets).

Kyle Teel of the @whitesox is the first MLB player to catch a 1-hitter (or no-hitter) while also driving in the only run(s) of the game since Buster Posey did it in a 3-0 win over the Rockies on August 26, 2014.

The Yankees are the only MLB team in the modern era to have 3 different relievers each allow multiple hits and multiple runs in their team debut in the same game (Bird, Bednar, Doval).

Intentional walks became an official MLB statistic 70 years ago, in 1955. Since then, only one player has been intentionally walked with his team an out away from losing and nobody in scoring position and then come around to score the winning run: Shohei Ohtani.

The 2025 Tigers are the first team in MLB history to have 6 or more players play in the All-Star Game but have none of them get a hit at the plate or toss a scoreless outing on the mound.

There were 104 extra-base hits in MLB on Wednesday. None of them were triples. That's the most extra-base hits without a triple on any single day in the modern era.

Left-handed pitchers earned the win in 10 of the 12 MLB games on Wednesday (83.3%). That's the highest percentage of games won by lefties on any single day with at least 10 games in the modern era.
