The Pi Brew
We’re back at it again with a new Morning Brew. The Sixers have taken the series lead against the Hawks in their second round match-up. While the Sixers got bad news about Danny Green, they managed to turn the series around in Games 2 and 3. Meanwhile, Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid were robbed of league awards. Luke Williams had an amazing start to his big league career. This and so much more in this week’s Brew. Let’s do this.
Sixers took Game 3 on Friday night

Luke Williams is the 6th player in the last 20 years to hit a #walkoff HR in his first @MLB start.
