Atlanta Braves ace Spencer Strider struck out his 100th batter of the season on Sunday — in just 61 innings pitched.

Why it matters: That's the fastest any pitcher has reached 100 strikeouts in a season in modern Major League Baseball history (since 1900).

History is on the line this summer in Miami, which could win championships on both the hardwood and the ice.

State of play: The Miami Heat and Florida Panthers are chasing two rare feats as the National Basketball Association Finals and National Hockey League's Stanley Cup Final approach. Let's call them "the double" and "the grand slam."

The Vegas Golden Knights blanked the Dallas Stars, 6-0, on Monday night in Dallas to advance to the Stanley Cup Final against the Panthers.

What's next: The National Hockey League is guaranteed to have a new champion, with Vegas and Florida both seeking their first Stanley Cup.

Boston was on the cusp of history. But in the end, it was Miami who completed an unlikely run to the National Basketball Association Finals.

Driving the news: The Heat blew out the Celtics, 103-84, in Game 7 on Monday to become just the second No. 8 seed to reach the NBA Finals, joining the 1999 New York Knicks.
