CBS Dallas/Fort Worth June 8, 2021 Summer is still two weeks away, but a few races around the league are already heating up. As of Monday, the three top teams in the National League West — the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers — boasted the top three records in the National League. In three other divisions, the top two teams are separated by a game or less. On the other hand, the Chicago White Sox, who have emerged from years of rebuilding, are enjoying a four-game lead in the American League Central. Tony La Russa's leadership has certainly helped the young squad. And over the weekend he led the White Sox to a milestone win, one that put him in second place on the all-time manager's win list. This week's Baseball Report looks at La Russa passing John McGraw on the career manager wins list, the coming crackdown on pitchers using foreign substances and the Boston Red Sox's sweep of the New York Yankees.
