Hearts: Fan ownership, Tony Bloom and upsetting the Old Firm status quo

Failure to launch: Giants' Matt Chapman still searching for his home run swing
LOS ANGELES — In terms of contact quality, there was nothing special about the otherwise history-making flare that Jung Hoo Lee hit to the opposite field in the fifth inning Thursday night.It left the bat at a relatively soft 73.2 mph.
