SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 5
A look at seven statistical highlights from games played during the 9:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET windows on Sunday, October 5, the fifth week of the 2025 season.

This marks the first week since Week 7, 2024 to feature five comebacks of at least 10 points and the first since Week 1, 2024 to feature three comebacks of at least 14 points.
With rookie Cam Ward as their starting quarterback, Tennessee is the first team to overcome a deficit of at least 18 points and win with a rookie starting quarterback since the New York Giants on Sept. 22, 2019, who overcame an 18-point deficit against Tampa Bay with Daniel Jones as their rookie starting quarterback.
The Houston Texans defeated Baltimore, 44-10, and the Indianapolis Colts defeated Las Vegas, 40-6. With two games remaining in Week 5, there have been 14 40-point performances by teams this season, already the most through five weeks of a season since 1970.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated Seattle, 38-35, on Chase McLaughlin’s 39-yard field goal as time expired. Tampa Bay – who scored a game-winning touchdown with 59 seconds remaining in Week 1, a game-winning touchdown with six seconds remaining in Week 2 and a game-winning field goal with no time remaining in Week 3 – are the first team in NFL history to have each of their first four wins of the season come on a game-winning score in the final minute of regulation.
In the Buccaneers’ win quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 29 of 33 pass attempts (87.9 percent) for 379 yards and two touchdowns, while Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold completed 28 of 34 pass attempts (82.4 percent) for 341 yards and four touchdowns.
It marks the first game in NFL history in which opposing quarterbacks each recorded at least 325 passing yards and completed over 80 percent of their passes.
- The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Cleveland Browns, 21-17, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, marking the first of three games to be played in the United Kingdom this season. The Vikings, after appearing in the first regular-season game in Ireland against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, are the first team to play consecutive international games in different cities.
Quarterback Carson Wentz connected with wide receiver Jordan Addison for the game-winning 12-yard touchdown with 25 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. It marked the first-ever game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining in regulation or in overtime of an international game.
Minnesota wide receiver Justin Jefferson had seven receptions for 123 yards in the victory and now has 7,881 career receiving yards since entering the league in 2020, He surpasses Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (7,866 receiving yards) and Calvin Johnson (7,836) for the third-most receiving yards by a player in his first six seasons in NFL history. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss (8,375 receiving yards) and Torry Holt (8,156) have more.
- Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott passed for 237 yards and four touchdowns and tight end Jake Ferguson had seven catches for 49 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s 37-22 win over the New York Jets.
Per Next Gen Stats, this marked the second week in a row in which Prescott aligned under center for over 40% of the team’s plays, from which Prescott completed eight of nine passes for 85 yards and all four touchdowns. Targeting the seams, Prescott completed 11 of 15 attempts for 152 yards and two touchdowns.

NFL ROUNDUP: BRONCOS KNOCK EAGLES FROM UNBEATENS WITH FURIOUS COMEBACK
Bo Nix and the visiting Denver Broncos wiped out a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and snapped Philadelphia’s 10-game winning streak with a 21-17 victory on Sunday.
After punting on seven of their first eight drives, the Broncos (3-2) scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions to seize the lead. J.K. Dobbins made it 17-10 with a 2-yard TD run with 13:11 remaining, and Nix put Denver ahead with an 11-yard TD pass to Evan Engram and a gutsy two-point conversion toss to Troy Franklin with 7:36 left.
The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles (4-1) also had a 12-game home winning streak snapped, dating back to Week 2 of last season. Nix passed for 242 yards and improved his career record to 5-1 against NFC opponents. Courtland Sutton caught eight passes for 99 yards and Dobbins ran for 79 yards.
Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts passed for a season-high 280 yards and threw touchdowns to Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert, but he was also sacked six times.
Titans 22, Cardinals 21
Joey Slye booted a 29-yard field goal on the final play to cap Tennessee’s rally from a 21-6 fourth-quarter deficit in Glendale, Ariz., to claim its first win.
Cam Ward, who completed 21 of 39 passes for 265 yards, directed the Titans (1-4) on a 71-yard drive in the final two minutes to set up Slye’s game-winner. Tony Pollard rushed for a 1-yard score to start the Titans’ comeback, then Tyler Lockett recovered a loose ball for a score with 4:39 left on a wild play that began with Ward throwing an interception to the 5-yard line that the Cardinals fumbled, kicked and poked into the end zone.
Kyler Murray completed 23 of 31 for 220 yards for the Cardinals (2-3), who held a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter on rushing scores by Michael Carter, Murray and Bam Knight. Emari Demercado thought he broke away for a 72-yard touchdown run with 12:40 left that would have made it 27-6, but he deliberately let the ball drop inches before crossing the goal line.
Texans 44, Ravens 10
C.J. Stroud passed for 244 yards and four touchdowns, and Houston rode a dominating defensive performance to a road victory over injury-plagued Baltimore.
Jalen Pitre snagged two interceptions for the Texans (2-3) and Stroud was exceedingly efficient, completing 23 of 27 attempts while benefiting from solid pass protection. Xavier Hutchinson and rookie Jaylin Noel each recorded their first career scoring receptions, with Hutchinson adding a second touchdown catch just before halftime.
Derrick Henry finished with 33 yards on 15 carries for the Ravens (1-4) and scored their lone touchdown on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter. Cooper Rush passed for 179 yards and tossed three interceptions in place of two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, who was out with a hamstring injury.
Vikings 21, Browns 17
Carson Wentz threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Addison with 25 seconds left in regulation, lifting Minnesota to a win over Cleveland in London.
Wentz completed 25 of 34 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown for Minnesota (3-2), which bounced back from a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin last week. Justin Jefferson had seven catches for 123 yards, and Addison tallied five catches for 41 yards despite being benched at times for what was referred to as a coach’s decision.
Quinshon Judkins had 23 carries for 110 yards for the Browns (1-4). Fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel made his first career start at quarterback and completed 19 of 33 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns.
Colts 40, Raiders 6
Jonathan Taylor rushed for three touchdowns and Daniel Jones threw for two more as Indianapolis blasted visiting Las Vegas.
Jones completed 20 of 29 passes for 212 yards for Indianapolis (4-1), which bounced back from a Week 4 loss at the Los Angeles Rams by scoring 40 consecutive points in the middle two quarters. This included three touchdowns — two by Taylor — in a span of less than 4 1/2 minutes in the third quarter.
Geno Smith hit 25 of 36 passes for 228 yards and two interceptions for the Raiders (1-4), who lost their fourth straight game. Rookie Ashton Jeanty rushed 14 times for 67 yards for Las Vegas, which was blown out despite the Colts’ modest 317-296 edge in total yards.
Panthers 27, Dolphins 24
Bryce Young threw for two touchdowns and Rico Dowdle ran for 206 yards and a touchdown as Carolina rallied past Miami in Charlotte.
Young’s 4-yard pass to rookie tight end Mitchell Evans with 1:59 to play gave the Panthers (2-3) the lead for good as they matched the largest comeback to win a game in franchise history by overcoming a 17-point hole. Dowdle, filling in for injured Chuba Hubbard, came up 4 yards shy of matching the single-game franchise rushing record.
Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 of 36 throws for 256 yards with three touchdowns and Jaylen Waddle gained 110 receiving yards on six catches and scored a touchdown, but the Dolphins (1-4) dropped to 0-3 in road games.
Cowboys 37, Jets 22
Dak Prescott passed for 237 yards and a season-high four touchdowns to help Dallas roll to a victory over woeful New York at East Rutherford, N.J.
Javonte Williams rushed for 135 yards and one touchdown and also had a scoring reception, and Jake Ferguson caught two scoring passes for the Cowboys (2-2-1). George Pickens caught a touchdown pass and Ryan Flournoy had six receptions for 114 yards for Dallas, which scored 30 straight points after falling behind 3-0 with a pair of touchdowns in the final minute of the first half.
Justin Fields was 32-of-46 passing for 283 yards and two touchdowns as the Jets became the first team in NFL history to start 0-5 without forcing a single turnover. Breece Hall rushed for 113 yards but lost a key fumble. Garrett Wilson and Andrew Beck caught touchdown passes from Justin Fields, who threw for 283 yards.
Saints 26, Giants 14
Spencer Rattler threw an 87-yard touchdown pass, Kool-Aid McKinstry recorded two interceptions, Jordan Howden returned a fumble 86 yards for a touchdown and host New Orleans beat New York to give rookie head coach Kellen Moore his first victory.
Rattler completed 20 of 30 passes for 225 yards, and the Saints (1-4) won for the first time in his 11 starts over his two-year career.
Rookie Jaxson Dart completed 26 of 40 for 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Giants (1-4), who turned the ball over five times and did not force any turnovers.
Buccaneers 38, Seahawks 35
Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals, including a 39-yarder as time expired, to give Tampa Bay a victory against host Seattle.
Baker Mayfield completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns for the Buccaneers (4-1). He hit Sterling Shepard with an 11-yard scoring strike with 1:08 remaining to tie the score at 35. Tampa Bay got the ball back on Lavonte David’s interception on a ball that deflected off the helmet of teammate Logan Hall at the line of scrimmage to set up the winning kick.
Sam Darnold was 28-of-34 passing for 341 yards, four TDs and two interceptions for the Seahawks (3-2), who had a three-game winning streak snapped. AJ Barner caught two scoring passes for Seattle.
Lions 37, Bengals 24
David Montgomery tossed a touchdown pass and ran for another in his return to his hometown as Detroit hung on to beat host Cincinnati.
Montgomery, a running back, threw a 3-yard option pass to tight end Brock Wright in the second quarter and ran 8 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Detroit quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of 23 passes on the day for 258 yards and three touchdowns.
The Lions (4-1) were rolling to their fourth straight blowout win before the Bengals (2-3) made it close with Jake Browning’s three fourth-quarter touchdown passes. Two went to Ja’Marr Chase, who finished with six catches and 110 yards; he also made three tackles on the day, bringing down the defender after all three Browning interceptions.
Commanders 27, Chargers 10
Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 111 yards and two scores, Jayden Daniels passed for 231 yards and a touchdown in his return to the lineup and Washington rallied from a 10-point deficit against Los Angeles in Inglewood, Calif.
Daniels, who missed the previous two games with a left knee injury, completed 15 of 26 passes and ran for 39 yards. Deebo Samuel had eight catches for 96 yards and a touchdown for Washington (3-2), which scored the final 27 points of the game.
Justin Herbert completed 22 of 29 passes for 166 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Chargers (3-2), who have lost two straight. Keenan Allen caught five passes, giving him 1,003 career receptions in 159 games. He became the fastest player in NFL history to reach the 1,000-catch mark, breaking the record owned by Marvin Harrison Sr.
DRIVER CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE IN STABBING OF EX-QB, CURRENT ANALYST MARK SANCHEZ
A 69-year-old delivery driver alleged to have stabbed former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez said he feared that “this guy is trying to kill me” so he acted in self-defense, according to court records filed on Sunday.
The altercation early Saturday morning in an alley in downtown Indianapolis led to Sanchez, 38, going to a hospital for stabs wound to his upper right torso as well as being charged by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police with misdemeanor counts of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.
Sanchez, who was in Indianapolis as a Fox Sports analyst for the host Colts game against the Las Vegas Raiders, remained in a hospital early Sunday. He was replaced on the broadcast by another former quarterback, Brady Quinn, in the Colts’ 40-6 victory Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“This incident should never have happened,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement on Sunday. “What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old former professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured. As with any case, we will follow the facts and the law wherever they lead.”
According to court documents, Sanchez and the other man, identified by his initials “PT,” got into a dispute near Loughmiller’s Pub & Eatery. The driver’s truck was parked at a loading dock to collect used cooking oil, and Sanchez opened the driver’s door to talk to him, per surveillance video.
The driver wasn’t wearing his hearing aids and struggled to hear him. When he leaned in, he thought Sanchez smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred, he told police later in an affidavit.
Indianapolis police wrote in an affidavit that Sanchez ran after the driver, grabbed him and threw him toward the wall of a hotel, leading to a brawl.
After Sanchez threw him to the ground, according to the police investigation’s report, the driver “realized things had escalated, and he was now in physical danger,” he told police per the court documents.
The driver used pepper spray on Sanchez, who kept advancing, so he pulled out his knife in self-defense and struck him two or three times, he told police.
The driver, who sustained a laceration to his left cheek, per court documents, said Sanchez looked shocked and ran out of the alley. The driver was treated and released from Methodist Hospital, according to The Indianapolis Star.
Sanchez was found by responding officers in a bar next to the alley and was rushed to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition and later upgraded to stable condition. He has been released from the hospital, TMZ Sports reported on Sunday evening.
Police wrote in an affidavit that Sanchez told them in the hospital that he didn’t remember what happened.
Fox Sports acknowledged Sanchez’s stabbing and arrest during its national pregame shows and during game coverage. Both Charissa Thompson, host of “Fox NFL Kickoff” on Sunday morning and “Fox NFL Sunday” host Curt Menefee said the Fox Sports team was “still trying to wrap our heads around” what happened and their “thoughts and prayers are with Mark Sanchez, his family and all of those involved.”
Sanchez was selected by the New York Jets with the fifth overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft and guided the club to two straight AFC Championship Game appearances. He posted a 37-36 record and threw for 15,357 yards with 86 touchdowns and 89 interceptions with the Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and the Washington franchise.
In college, Sanchez was a big star for Southern California in 2008, when he passed for 3,207 yards, 34 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Trojans went 12-1 and finished the campaign as the No. 3 team in the country.

TEXAS, PENN STATE FALL OUT OF AP TOP 25; MIAMI JUMPS TO NO. 2
Miami moved back to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, Texas Tech has its highest ranking since 2008 and Penn State and Texas fell all the way out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2022 after the two top-10 teams lost to unranked opponents.
No. 1 Ohio State was dominant in its win over Minnesota, but its 40 first-place votes were its fewest since ascending to the top five weeks ago. The Hurricanes, who moved ahead of idle Oregon, went from receiving four first-place votes last week to 21 this week after winning at Florida State.
Miami also had been No. 2 two weeks ago following an open date and gave up that spot last week after Oregon’s overtime win at Penn State.
Oregon, which received the other five first-place votes, was followed by idle No. 4 Mississippi and No. 5 Texas A&M. The Aggies hammered Mississippi State and earned their highest ranking since Jimbo Fisher’s 2021 team was No. 5 in early September.
Oklahoma slipped from No. 5 to No. 6 despite its 44-0 shutout of Kent State. Indiana, which had an open date, is No. 7 and No. 8 Alabama got a two-spot promotion for its 16-point win over Vanderbilt.
No. 9 Texas Tech, which won 35-11 at previously unbeaten Houston, cracked the top 10 for the first time since it was No. 8 in the final regular-season poll in 2008. Georgia moved up two spots to No. 10 after its win over Kentucky.
Texas was the AP’s preseason No. 1 team and Penn State was No. 2. Both are now out of the rankings.
Penn State took one of the biggest falls in the 99-year history of the poll for its loss at previously winless UCLA a week after the Bruins fired their coach. The Nittany Lions had slipped from No. 2 to No. 7 following their loss to Oregon. They went to UCLA as 24.5-point favorites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and lost 42-37. Penn State is unranked for the first time since September 2022.
The plunge out of the Top 25 matched 1959 Oklahoma for second-biggest drop out of the rankings, not counting preseason polls or the 2020 pandemic season. The ’59 Sooners went from No. 2 to out of the Top 20 after losing their opener to Northwestern.
Texas lost at Ohio State as the preseason No. 1 and was No. 9 entering its game at Florida. The Longhorns’ 29-21 loss at the Swamp sent it tumbling out of the Top 25. They hadn’t been unranked since November 2022.
Before Sunday, the last time two top-10 teams fell out of the poll the same week was Sept. 16, 1986, when it happened to No. 8 Tennessee and No. 10 Ohio State.
In and out
— No. 23 Memphis, four spots out of the Top 25 a week ago, is in for the first time since it was No. 24 in the final poll last season. The Tigers are out to their best start since 2015 and the first team to be 6-0, making them bowl-eligible for the 12th straight year.
— No. 24 South Florida (4-1) has won two straight since its lopsided loss at Miami and is back after a one-month absence.
— Penn State (7) and Texas (9) dropped out.
Poll points
— Ohio State’s 40 first-place votes are fewest for a No. 1 team since Alabama also got 40 in the poll Sept. 29, 2024.
— Miami’s No. 2 ranking is its highest in an October poll since 2003.
— The teams ranked Nos. 14-19 — Missouri, Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois, BYU and Virginia — each received five-spot promotions, biggest of the week.
— Iowa State took the biggest fall of any team that remained in the Top 25, falling eight spots to No. 22 after losing at Cincinnati.
Conference call
SEC (9) — Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 20.
Big Ten (5) — Nos. 1, 3, 7, 15, 17.
Big 12 (4) — Nos. 9, 18, 21, 22.
ACC (4) — Nos. 2, 13, 19, 25.
American (2) — Nos. 23, 24.
Independent (1) — No. 16.
Ranked vs. ranked
— No. 1 Ohio State (5-0) at No. 17 Illinois (5-1): This is the first meeting since 2017 and first Top 25 matchup since 2001. The Buckeyes have won nine straight in the series and haven’t lost in Champaign since 1991. The lone blemish for the Illini was a blowout loss at Indiana.
— No. 7 Indiana (5-0) at No. 3 Oregon (5-0): The Hoosiers didn’t have to play Oregon last year, the Ducks’ first in the Big Ten. Indiana is 0-2 against top-five opponents under second-year coach Curt Cignetti.
— No. 8 Alabama (4-1) at No. 14 Missouri (5-0): The Crimson Tide beat the Tigers 34-0 in Tuscaloosa last year, are on a four-game win streak and looking to knock off a third straight ranked opponent. Huge opportunity here for Missouri for a marquee win in the chase for the SEC title and College Football Playoff seeding.

JULIO RODRIGUEZ’S RBI DOUBLE LIFTS MARINERS PAST TIGERS TO EVEN SERIES
Julio Rodriguez’s run-scoring double with one out in the bottom of the eighth broke a tie as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Sunday night to even their best-of-five American League Division Series at one game apiece.
Jorge Polanco hit a pair of solo homers for the Mariners, both off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal.
Game 3 of the best-of-five series is scheduled for Tuesday in Detroit. The Tigers won the series opener 3-2 in 11 innings Saturday in Seattle.
The victory was Seattle’s first in the postseason since 2001.
“We haven’t had a time like this in awhile, so being able to deliver a win like this, for the fans, was really special,” Rodriguez said on the FS1 postgame show. “We know the job is not finished. Got to go out there (to Detroit) and grind and keep going.”
Trailing 2-0, the Tigers tied the score with an unearned run in the eighth off Mariners reliever Matt Brash (1-0). Gleyber Torres drew a leadoff walk and, one out later, Riley Greene reached on first baseman Josh Naylor’s fielding error. Spencer Torkelson hit a liner down the right field line for a double that scored both runners to make it 2-2.
With one out in the bottom of the inning, Cal Raleigh doubled into the right field corner off Kyle Finnegan (1-1). Rodriguez followed with a liner down the left field line to break the tie.
Mariners closer Andres Munoz, who pitched two innings in the opener, worked a 1-2-3 ninth for the save.
Skubal, who is the favorite to win a second consecutive AL Cy Young Award, allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings. The left-hander, who went to Seattle University, walked one and struck out nine.
Polanco broke a scoreless tie with one out in the fourth inning, hitting a 2-0 slider from Skubal into the Mariners’ bullpen in left-center field.
Polanco doubled Seattle’s advantage with two outs in the sixth, lining a 3-2 sinker over the wall in the left field corner.
“It’s that time of year, you’re going to get some good arms,” Raleigh told FS1. “Just needed somebody to step up and (Polanco) did.”
Mariners starter Luis Castillo was effectively wild. He didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the fifth inning when Torres grounded a single through the right side of the infield with second baseman Polanco covering the bag on Parker Meadows’ stolen-base attempt.
That was it for Castillo, as Mariners manager Dan Wilson called upon left-hander Gabe Speier to face Kerry Carpenter, who homered in a similar spot in Game 1. Speier struck out Carpenter with runners at the corners to end the inning.
Castillo gave up one hit over 4 2/3 scoreless innings, with four walks and three strikeouts.
“Obviously it’s a frustrating loss because every loss at this time of year is frustrating, but I’m obviously proud of our group and excited to get home,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said in a postgame news conference.
BLUE JAYS HIT 5 HRS, ROUT YANKEES FOR 2-0 ALDS LEAD
TORONTO — The plan has worked to perfection so far and the Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from disposing of the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series.
The Blue Jays decided to start rookie Trey Yesavage at home Sunday in Game 2 of the series and save eight-year veteran Shane Bieber for Game 3 on Tuesday in the hostile environment of New York’s Yankee Stadium.
Yesavage (1-0), making his fourth career major league start, was brilliant in the Blue Jays’ 13-7 victory that gave them a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series.
The right-hander struck out 10 in the first four innings — tying the MLB postseason record for most whiffs in that span — while walking one. He completed 5 1/3 hitless innings with 11 strikeouts to set Jays postseason marks for most whiffs and longest no-hit bid. His only other runner allowed came on an error.
“I was thinking about the comment I made the other day, that I’m built for this,” said Yesavage, who started the season in Class A. “I thought … I’d better back this up.”
Yesavage, 22, pitched for two Single-A teams, Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo this season before reaching the major leagues Sept. 15 for three starts.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays punished Yankees’ pitching for the second game after winning the opener on Saturday 10-1. The 23 runs were a major league record for the first two games of a team’s postseason series.
Daulton Varsho homered twice with two doubles, four runs scored and four RBIs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added three hits, including the first postseason grand slam in team history.
Ernie Clement contributed a two-run homer and three RBIs and George Springer added a solo shot for Toronto.
Cody Bellinger hit a two-run homer for the Yankees and had three RBIs.
New York left-hander Carlos Rodon is scheduled to face righty Bieber on Tuesday.
“We haven’t lost any confidence,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Obviously, they’ve had our number and gotten the better of us so far this year, but I don’t think anyone in our room who doesn’t feel like we can’t go out and beat them.”
Toronto scored twice in the second against Max Fried (0-1). Varsho doubled and continued to third on right fielder Aaron Judge’s error. Clement hit the next pitch to left for his first career postseason home run.
The Blue Jays added three in the third. Davis Schneider walked with one out, took third on Guerrero’s single and scored on Alejandro Kirk’s groundout to first. Varsho stroked an RBI double into the right field corner. Clement followed with an RBI single to left.
In the fourth, Fried allowed an infield hit to Andres Gimenez and walked Myles Straw before Will Warren replaced him and walked Springer to load the bases. Guerrero hit a blast to left on a 2-1 fastball with one out for his second home run in two games.
“He’s our guy,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “He’s our dude. I said I want to see him play free and loose but also be locked in. He’s pretty locked in.”
Kirk followed with a single and Varsho hit his first career postseason homer on a blast to right center.
Fried allowed seven runs, eight hits and two walks with one strikeout in three-plus innings.
Springer hit his 20th career postseason homer in the fifth.
Justin Bruihl replaced Yesavage with one out in the sixth and allowed Judge’s infield single and Bellinger’s homer.
The Yankees were glad to see Yesavage leave the game to a resounding ovation.
“That was nasty stuff,” Boone said. “That split is unlike much you ever run into. He got it going, starting it up a lot, breaking it down off the plate, using his fastball enough and slider enough. But we just didn’t have an answer for the split.”
The fans were not happy to see Yesavage leave, however.
“Tough to put into words,” Schneider said. “The kid started in A-ball this year and just did that against that lineup. … What we were looking for were command, poise, all that kind of stuff. That was there. Swings were evident that stuff was good. I know I was getting booed when I went out there, but he wasn’t going to go 120, 130 pitches.”
Varsho hit another homer in the sixth.
Toronto’s Eric Lauer allowed three singles in the seventh to load the bases. Tommy Nance replaced him and yielded Judge’s RBI single, Bellinger’s sacrifice fly, Ben Rice’s RBI double and Giancarlo Stanton’s two-run single.
PHILLIES EAGER TO ‘DUST IT OFF’ IN NLDS GAME 2 VS. DODGERS
There’s no doubt the Los Angeles Dodgers like seeing someone with Hernandez stitched across the back of the jersey walking up to the plate in the postseason.
Two swings of the bat by two players named Hernandez provided all of Los Angeles’ runs in Game 1, and now the Dodgers will look to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five National League Division Series when they visit the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday evening.
Enrique Hernandez hit a two-run double on Saturday, and Teoscar Hernandez hit the go-ahead three-run homer for Los Angeles in a 5-3 victory.
Teoscar Hernandez made a misplay in the outfield earlier in the contest to fuel Philadelphia’s three-run second inning. He was happy to make amends with his blast off Phillies left-hander Matt Strahm in the seventh.
“At the end of the day, for me, anything that happened before a big moment like that, it’s in the past,” Teoscar Hernandez said. “I try to put it in the trash and just focus on the things that I need to do in that at-bat and especially in place on defense and just trying to help my team.”
Teoscar Hernandez is 5-for-14 with three homers and nine RBIs in three games this postseason. He has six homers and 21 RBIs in 19 postseason games with Los Angeles.
Enrique Hernandez, meanwhile, delivered his key double with two outs in the sixth inning to get the Dodgers on the board. He is 5-for-12 with three runs and three RBIs this postseason.
Enrique Hernandez has a reputation of upping his level of play when it counts most. He’s batted .285 with 15 homers and 38 RBIs in 89 career postseason contests.
“I think that’s applicable to every postseason,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Enrique Hernandez’s postseason exploits. “I mean, the numbers don’t lie. In the postseason, he just performs. … Once the postseason hits, he just ratchets it up a couple other levels.”
Los Angeles will send Blake Snell (5-4, 2.35 ERA) to the mound on Monday. The Phillies will counter with fellow left-hander Jesus Luzardo (15-7, 3.92).
Philadelphia knows it can’t afford a second straight home loss. But the Phillies aren’t going to panic.
“We’ve just got to dust it off. It’s a five-game series,” said catcher J.T. Realmuto, who delivered a two-run triple on a play in which Teoscar Hernandez didn’t scoot over swiftly enough to keep a single from rolling to the wall. “There’s still plenty of opportunity for us to go out and play good baseball.”
The top three batters in the Phillies’ order — Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper — were a combined 1-for-11 with six strikeouts in Game 1. Schwarber fanned in three of his four at-bats.
“It’s just one game,” Schwarber said. “This is the postseason. This is about the whole team. And now it’s about Monday, you’re back to grinding and feeling like you’re going to put together competitive at-bats for the team.”
Philadelphia outfielder Harrison Bader (groin) left Game 1 and underwent imaging on Sunday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said there was “no major tear or strain” and that the club will learn Bader’s playing status on Monday.
Luzardo and Snell squared off in Los Angeles on Sept. 17, and the Dodgers won 5-0. Snell gave up two hits and struck out 12 in seven innings, while Luzardo gave up four runs and six hits in seven-plus innings. Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani homered off Luzardo.
Luzardo, 28, is 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA in four career postseason appearances (three starts). This will be his first playoff outing with Philadelphia. He was 1-1 with a 2.57 ERA in two starts against Los Angeles during the regular season. Overall, he is 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA in six career appearances (five starts) against the Dodgers.
Snell, 32, is 5-3 with a 3.23 ERA in 13 postseason appearances (11 starts). He defeated the Cincinnati Reds in the wild-card round when he allowed two runs and four hits over seven innings in Los Angeles’ 10-5 victory.
Snell is 1-3 with a 3.41 ERA in seven career outings (all starts) against Philadelphia.
Roberts said the availability of Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who is recovering from a fractured right hand, will be determined Monday.
BREWERS’ JACKSON CHOURIO (HAMSTRING) STATUS FOR GAME 2 IS UNCLEAR
The status of Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio for Monday’s Game 2 remains uncertain after MRI exam results on his right hamstring were inconclusive, manager Pat Murphy said Sunday.
Chourio was injured in the second inning of Saturday’s 9-3 win over the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the best-of-five National League Division Series. He was 3-for-3 with three RBI before the early exit.
“I can’t give you a definitive, but I know that we’re going to test some things (Sunday),” Murphy said, adding that the injury is “not a serious hamstring strain.”
Chourio, 21, underwent the MRI on Saturday. Concern was heightened because he missed 29 consecutive games this summer due to a strained right hamstring. He returned to the lineup on Aug. 30.
Chourio was optimistic after leaving Saturday’s game that he wouldn’t have to miss time.
“I feel good right now,” Chourio said through a translator. “Compared to the last time that this happened, I feel like I’m in a very good position.”
Murphy said Isaac Collins would start in left if Chourio wasn’t available. Collins went 0-for-2 after replacing Chourio on Saturday. In the regular season, the 28-year-old rookie batted .263 with nine homers, 54 RBIs and 16 steals in 130 games.
Chourio batted .270 with 21 homers, 78 RBIs and 21 steals in 131 games in the regular season.
Murphy also announced left-hander Aaron Ashby (5-2, 2.16 ERA) will be used as an opener for Monday’s game. In Game 1, Cubs manager Craig Counsell placed left-handed hitters first, third, fifth and seventh in his order. Ashby retired all four Cubs he faced in Game 1, which included lefties Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch.
Shota Imanaga (9-8, 3.73) will start for Chicago. He entered as the second Cubs pitcher in Game 2 of the wild-card series against the San Diego Padres and gave up two runs and three hits in four innings. Chicago lost 3-0, but Imanaga wasn’t involved in the decision.
CUBS HOPE SHOTA IMANAGA CAN HELP THEM AVOID 2-0 NLDS HOLE VS. BREWERS
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers will turn to left-hander Aaron Ashby for a spot start as they look to move one step closer to their first postseason series win since 2018 when they host the Chicago Cubs on Monday night in the second game of the National League Division Series.
Ashby (5-2, 2.16 ERA), who made just one start in a career-high 43 regular-season appearances, will be opposed by Shota Imanaga (9-8, 3.73 ERA) in the first postseason series between the Central Division rivals which are separated by about 90 miles on I-94.
The Brewers took the opener 9-3 on Saturday, chasing Cubs starter Matthew Boyd after just two outs during a six-run first inning. Freddy Peralta, who led the NL with 17 victories, bounced back from a game-opening homer and pitched effectively into the sixth. Chicago got all three runs on solo homers.
“There’s no penalty — it’s one loss. It doesn’t count for more how you lose,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Sunday. “We didn’t lose well, but sometimes — a close game could have cost us some pitching type stuff, too. We lost and you move on, and that’s how the clubhouse felt.”
Milwaukee, which finished five games ahead of the Cubs with a franchise-record 97 victories, has the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage for the entire postseason. The Brewers are in the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons, but have not won a playoff series since the 2018 NLDS against the Colorado Rockies.
Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio was removed in the second inning Saturday with hamstring tightness after legging out an infield single, his third hit of the game, that put Milwaukee in front 9-1.
Chourio, who missed almost all of August with a strained right hamstring, had an MRI exam Saturday, and was scheduled to take part in workouts Sunday.
“I can’t give you a definitive (timeline), but I know that we’re going to test some things today,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday. “I don’t know that he’ll do much, but the MRI came back and it’s inconclusive and it’s not a serious hamstring strain, but it’s not necessarily something that won’t limit him.”
The versatile Ashby pitched in the series opener, retiring all four batters he faced with one strikeout in a 16-pitch outing.
“Whether that’s in the first inning or the fourth, fifth, seventh, whenever it is. I think they’ve made it clear that your job is just to get outs,” Ashby said Sunday. “Going into tomorrow, it’ll be kind of the same situation.”
Ashby, who also had three saves in three chances, did not allow a run over his final seven regular-season outings spanning 10 1/3 innings.
Ashby is 2-1 with a 5.33 ERA in nine career outings vs. the Cubs, including four starts. He allowed four runs in 8 2/3 innings in three relief outings this season against them.
Imanaga struggled down the stretch, going 1-2 with a 6.51 ERA in five September starts.
Imanaga came out of the bullpen in the second game of the wild-card series, a 3-0 loss to the Padres on Wednesday. Imanaga entered in the second, allowing two runs on three hits in four innings, throwing 67 pitches.
Imanaga is 1-3 with a 5.73 ERA in four career starts vs. Milwaukee. He was 1-2 with a 3.57 ERA in three games against the Brewers this season, allowing seven runs in 17 2/3 innings.
“I think all the hitters, they understand what they need to do, and I think that’s the Brewers offense,” Imanaga said Sunday. “Even yesterday, just the next guy was up, the next guy was ready. So, I think, for me, it’s just making sure, take it one out at a time, and then thinking about that one out.”

STEVEN FISK RIDES STRONG FINISH TO MAIDEN TOUR WIN AT SANDERSON FARMS
PGA Tour rookie Steven Fisk finished birdie-birdie-birdie to notch his first career tour victory Sunday at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss.
Fisk posted an 8-under-par 64 in his final round, carding a 24-under-par 264 at the Country Club of Jackson to overtake South Africa’s Garrick Higgo by two strokes. Ranked No. 183 in the world, Fisk got hotter as the week went on (70-65-65-64), and his 64 was the lowest score of the day.
“Based on the scores earlier this week I didn’t have a target score in mind today, but I knew it was going to be — I knew it was going to require more birdies than anything else,” Fisk said. “Just trying to make as many as I possibly could because I knew I’d need them at the end.”
It was an emotional day for Fisk for multiple reasons.
His victory came five-plus months after his father, Christopher Fisk, died at 59 years old after fighting pancreatic cancer. Christopher Fisk got his son into golf and built a par-3 course and driving range in their hometown in Georgia.
Fisk also had Jay Green on his bag this week. Green was the caddie for PGA Tour pro Grayson Murray, who died by suicide in 2024.
“I think (his dad) nudged a couple putts in for me for sure, maybe him or Grayson,” Fisk said. “I had a couple of helpers out there. I miss him very much, and I know he’d be really proud of how I played all week and especially today to keep my composure and just kind of go about my business the best way I know how.
“I’d like to think that he knew this day would happen.”
Fisk and Higgo were tied for the lead at the par-4 16th hole when Fisk drained a 41-foot birdie. Higgo matched him from 11 feet to form another tie at 22 under.
At the par-4 17th, they threw darts at the flagstick with their approach shots, and each landed about 3 feet away. But Higgo couldn’t convert his birdie putt, and Fisk calmly sank his for the outright lead.
“I don’t know. I didn’t feel anything,” Higgo said of his blunder. “The grain was pretty straight down. Obviously I think there was a little bit of movement. I took it pretty straight and moved slightly. Yeah, I was just as shocked as you were.”
Higgo, a two-time PGA Tour winner, needed to bury a 30-foot birdie attempt at No. 18 to put pressure on Fisk but missed 3 feet wide. Fisk had two putts to win but holed his 4-foot birdie look to finish in style.
His maiden tour win guarantees Fisk a full PGA Tour card through 2027. He rocketed up from No. 135 to 65 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings and has a real shot to finish the fall inside places 51-60, which would get him into the first two signature events of 2026.
“It’s job security,” Fisk said. “I think I mentioned in another interview earlier that we all think we’re good enough to compete out here and to win, and to come out here today and play like I did, and finally I truly know that I’m good enough to be a PGA Tour winner is really cool.”
Denmark’s Rasmus Hojgaard, who played for victorious Team Europe at the Ryder Cup last month, had four rounds in the 60s and shot a 65 Sunday to tie for third at 19 under with Vince Whaley (67) and Danny Walker (69).
“I think my game got sharper and sharper as the week went on,” Hojgaard said. “Putted great, especially today. I’ve been putting great all week, but especially today. I feel like the hole was a big bucket, so that’s always nice when you have that feeling.”
TOMMY GAINEY GRABS FIRST CHAMPIONS VICTORY AT FURYK & FRIENDS
Tommy Gainey holed out for eagle at No. 13 to take the lead for good and went on to win his first PGA Tour Champions title at the Constellation Furyk & Friends on Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla.
Gainey started the day four shots off the pace at Timuquana Country Club but posted a 6-under-par 66 to finish the three-round event at 14-under 202. The 50-year-old walked in a birdie at the last hole for a two-shot victory over Australia’s Cameron Percy (69).
Matt Gogel stood tall after the first two rounds, his Saturday 64 boosting him to a three-stroke lead on the field. But he carded six bogeys on Sunday, pushing him out of contention en route to a 3-over 75. Gogel tied for third with Steve Flesch (66), Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn (68), Fiji’s Vijay Singh (70) and Australian Brendan Jones (69).
Gainey, known for wearing two gloves when he plays and for competing on the former Golf Channel reality show “The Big Break,” won one time on the PGA Tour. He said his first senior victory was no gimme.
“I’ve been doing a lot of (Monday qualifiers),” Gainey told Golf Channel. “It’s been a lot of pressure doing these Mondays because let’s face it, these guys are still legends so they still can play. I’m just so happy right now. I’ve grinded for a long time and finally I can safely say that grinding and that hard work paid off.”
Gainey birdied the first, fourth and 12th holes to draw into a tie for the lead with Gogel and Singh. His second shot at the par-5 13th came up short of the green, but he elected to putt his third shot uphill from the fairway.
He judged both the speed and the direction perfectly. Gainey’s ball slowed down a few feet from the hole and fell in, which dropped him to his knees.
“I thought I left it short,” Gainey said. “I had a really great line on it and I knew if it got to the hole it was going in. Then I dropped to my knees and then it finally fell. So it was like a God-answered prayer.”
Gainey bogeyed the next hole, his only misstep of the day, but he got the stroke back with a two-putt birdie at the par-5 15th. From there, his competitors bowed out; Singh finished bogey-bogey and Gogel continued to plummet.
Percy had three of his four birdies on the back nine but missed opportunities to tie him at 13 under at each of the last three holes.
The win also ensured Gainey will compete in the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs that begin in two weeks. Next week’s SAS Championship marks the final regular-season event, and only the top 72 players qualify for the three-leg playoffs. Gainey began the week No. 73 in the standings and is projected to jump to No. 37.
YOUMIN HWANG RIDES BIRDIE RUN TO LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP, 1ST LPGA TOUR CROWN
South Korea’s Youmin Hwang birdied five of the last six holes, including four straight to finish the round and capture the Lotte Championship for her first LPGA Tour victory on Saturday in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
Hwang carded a 5-under-par 67 to finish at 17-under 271, one stroke ahead of fellow South Korean Hyo Joo Kim, who birdied No. 18 and shot 68 on Saturday, and two ahead of Japan’s Minami Katsu (69).
The 22-year-old Hwang fired a career-best and course-record, 10-under 62 on Thursday to hold a three-shot lead after two rounds at Hoakalei Country Club. She followed that with a 3-over 75 on Friday to fall into an eight-way tie for second at 12 under.
Hwang had a flat front nine on Saturday, following one birdie at the par-3 No. 4 with a bogey at the par-5 No. 5 and otherwise settling for par. The back nine was a different story after three straight pars.
She birdied the par-4 No. 13 to get to 13 under for the tournament, made par at No. 14 and then ripped off consecutive birdies at Nos. 15-18 — the first hole a par-3 and the last a par-5.
“I actually didn’t believe in myself, but, yeah, my caddie, he supported me very well during the course,” Hwang said through a translator when asked about the tournament-ending birdie run. “He said we can make it, and he said some kind of support from him. Thanks to his support, I think I can be here the winner of today’s championship.”
With Hwang’s first LPGA Tour win, she can choose to become a tour member immediately or defer to 2026. Hwang also has two career victories on the LPGA of Korea Tour, and she won a Taiwan LPGA Tour event this year.
“I’m glad things went very well, just as I planned for this year as challenge,” Hwang said through a translator and also thanked Lotte, which invited her to the tournament as the sponsor.
World No. 2 Nelly Korda, seeking her first win in 2025, carded 69 for the third time in four rounds (the other a 67 on Thursday) to finish in a four-way tie for fourth at 14 under.
Korda birdied Nos. 1, 2, 10, 11 and 15, countered by bogeys at Nos. 9 and 16. She tied with Taiwan’s Peiyn Chien (70 on Saturday), third-round leader Akie Iwai of Japan (71) and American Jessica Porvasnik (70).
“I mean, my game plan, it’s pretty simple: It’s always to give everything 100 percent and concentrate in and dial in it,” Korda said. “If I’m doing what I can, then that’s kind of like the most that I can do. But it was nice to be in contention. The end goal, always, without saying, for everyone in this field, is to lift that trophy on Sunday. Falling a little bit short definitely motivated. Have some work to do and have a couple more events to end off the season.”

SHANE VAN GISBERGEN RUNS AWAY WITH ROVAL WIN; PLAYOFF ROUND OF 8 SET
Trackhouse Racing experienced the full gamut of emotions in the season’s final road-course race Sunday.
Shane van Gisbergen dominated again on the NASCAR Cup Series’ twisty layouts by winning the Bank of America Roval 400 Round of 12 elimination race, but teammate Ross Chastain was trimmed from title contention at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.
van Gisbergen used his No. 88 Chevrolet to chase down two-time Roval winner Kyle Larson and record his fifth straight victory on the road courses by walloping Larson by 15.16 seconds for his sixth win in 46 career starts, all on the curvy configurations.
After failing to win in the season’s first road event at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, van Gisbergen reeled off wins at Mexico City, the Chicago Street Race, Sonoma and Watkins Glen before Sunday’s checkers, his first at the Charlotte layout.
Christopher Bell, Chris Buescher and Michael McDowell followed the pair.
van Gisbergen thought he had a tire coming apart and had to get physical while passing Larson for the lead with a dozen circuits left.
“I gave him a little bump in (Turn) seven by accident, and he just slammed me and that sort of set it off,” said van Gisbergen, who led a race-high 57 laps. “I’m all for it — it was fun. I hope he’s not too pissed off.”
Chastain held a four-point lead over Joey Logano for the final spot in the Round of 8 group but had the advantage trimmed to one. He was passed on the final lap and wrecked Denny Hamlin coming to the checkers, which eliminated Chastain by four points while competing with Logano, who held the tiebreaker, for the last playoff position.
The No. 1 driver made two mistakes on pit road, including a speeding penalty with 20 laps left, that doomed his title hopes.
“Trackhouse expects so much more out of me,” Chastain said candidly after driving to the finish line in reverse. “Just unforced errors, just terrible. … Not acceptable. Just completely unacceptable. No one else had a hand in it but me.
“It’s terrible to get to this level and not perform. When you watch and you learn and you study for half of your life to get here and you fail is a terrible feeling right now.”
Polesitter Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric also did not advance.
In the season’s 32nd race, Reddick lined up next to van Gisbergen and took off, but the road-course hot shoe from New Zealand passed the No. 45 Toyota coming to Lap 5.
Needing a win to advance, Cindric ran into problems before the first pit stops on Lap 10. The Team Penske driver slipped from 17th to 37th on the grid, putting him in more jeopardy in the standings.
van Gisbergen led 17 of the 25 laps in claiming Stage 1 by nearly eight seconds over Larson. Following Ty Gibbs and Bell, fifth-place finisher Chastain earned points to pass Logano in the standings, but Chastain committed the first of his two pit-road snafus by blowing the lane’s exit and yielded 15 spots.
Cindric’s chances ended on Lap 33 when Carson Hocevar locked up his brakes and rammed the No. 2 Ford.
Ryan Blaney scored the win in Stage 2, but again, fourth-place Chastain managed to move up by earning seven playoff points.
After pit stops on Laps 72 and 73, Larson emerged as the leader with Bell and van Gisbergen in hot pursuit to set up the finish.
Playoff Round of 8 field:
1. Denny Hamlin
2. Ryan Blaney
3. Kyle Larson
4. William Byron
5. Christopher Bell
6. Chase Elliott
7. Chase Briscoe
8. Joey Logano

COLTS FOOTBALL
JONATHAN TAYLOR RUNS FOR 3 TOUCHDOWNS AND DANIEL JONES THROWS FOR 2 AS COLTS ROUT RAIDERS 40-6
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jonathan Taylor keeps proving he’s one of the league’s top running backs.
A few more games like this, and perhaps Daniel Jones will considered one of the best quarterbacks.
Taylor ran for three touchdowns and a 2-point conversion, Jones threw two TD passes while playing another turnover-free game, and the Indianapolis Colts remained perfect at home with a 40-6 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
“I think the guys are playing at a high level right now, they’re playing together,” coach Shane Steichen said after Indy’s most lopsided victory in 12 years. “(Taylor) is the best back in the league right now. Credit to him, credit to the O-line. It starts up front, but he’s just seeing it while he’s running hard.”
The Colts (4-1) opened the season with major questions at quarterback, but Taylor’s strong play has helped Jones get comfortable. Signed in the offseason to compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting job, Jones has won more games in five weeks than he did in his final 16 starts and two seasons with the New York Giants.
Jones finished 20 of 29 for 212 yards. Taylor rushed 17 times for 66 yards and caught three passes for 20 yards, although his streak of nine straight games with 95 yards or more from scrimmage ended.
The 34-point margin was Indy’s largest since a 37-3 victory at Jacksonville in 2013. The Colts converted two interceptions, a blocked punt and a turnover on downs into TDs.
“I think we executed well with the exception of that first drive,” Jones said. “But we executed well, took advantage of some opportunities. I’m sure Shane talked about complementary football. The blocked punt, the interception in the third quarter put us at the 5-yard line, we converted those opportunities.”
Indy’s starters got the fourth quarter off. Richardson made his season debut and had one completion — to himself for 9 yards.
It was miserable day for Las Vegas (1-4), which lost its fourth straight. Rookie Ashton Jeanty had another productive day with 14 carries for 67 yards and five receptions for 42 yards. Geno Smith was 25 of 36 for 228 yards with the two picks.
“It was really disappointing for us to have such a hard time getting into this game,” Raiders coach Pete Carroll said. “We need to change the course from the way we’re going.”
Las Vegas settled for a 24-yard field goal after holding the ball for nearly 10 minutes on its first possession.
Jones responded with an 11-yard TD pass to Tyler Warren — the rookie’s first career scoring reception — and the Colts never trailed again.
Segun Olubi blocked AJ Cole’s punt to set up the Colts at the Raiders 8-yard line. Four plays later, Taylor scored on a 3-yard run and the Colts were off and running.
Smith gave away another scoring chance when his tipped pass was picked off by Laiatu Latu at the Colts 12-yard line. Jones closed the half with a 4-yard TD pass to Michael Pittman Jr. to make it 20-3.
“The ball got tipped up in the air but there was a guy wide open in the end zone,” Smith said. “I feel like I’m doing the right things, making the right reads. But this is the NFL. It’s a big boy league.”
The Colts extended the margin to 40-3 in the third quarter thanks to Taylor’s TD runs of 1 and 6 yards and Ameer Abdullah’s 2-yard TD run.
Las Vegas failed to record a sack for the first time in 40 games, ending the league’s longest active streak.
Kicking adjustments
Cole suffered a right ankle injury on the blocked punt and went to the locker room on a cart, forcing kicker Daniel Carlson to handle punting duties. Carlson’s only punt went 30 yards. He also missed a 57-yard field goal on the final play of the first half.
Indy lost kicker Spencer Shrader late in the second quarter when Tristin McCollum ran into Shrader’s right knee. The Colts went for 2 on each of their remaining TD drives in part because they would have needed a replacement for holder Rigoberto Sanchez, the backup kicker.
Injury report
Raiders: TEs Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer (concussion protocol) and CB Eric Stokes (knee) were inactive.
Colts: Indy lost CB Mike Hilton (shoulder) in the first quarter and DT Grover Stewart (biceps) in the second half.

BUTLER WOMEN’S GOLF
DODD AND BULLDOGS HOLD LEAD ENTERING FINAL ROUND OF COYOTE CREEK CLASSIC
Butler sophomore Treva Dodd holds a four-shot lead entering Monday’s final round of the Bradley Coyote Creek Classic in Bartonville, Ill.
Dodd’s four-under performance over the first 36 holes featured rounds of 71 and 69 Sunday. Bradley’s Jillian Cosler and Caroline McConnell are tied for second at even-par 144.
Dodd spearheaded the Butler effort as the Bulldogs have seven players among the Top 12 after the first day of play. Butler shot a seven-under 281 in Sunday’s afternoon round, which was 13 shots better than any team in the field. Butler’s 36-hole total of 584 (+8) has them seven shots ahead of host Bradley (591). There are six teams in the field.
Dodd registered five birdies in each of her rounds Sunday. Her five birdies in the second round came on five consecutive holes (holes 7-11).

BUTLER FOOTBALL
ANDREW SELECTED AS PFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Butler redshirt junior quarterback Reagan Andrew has been named the Pioneer Football League (PFL) Offensive Player of the Week. The conference office made the announcement Sunday.
Andrew ran for all three Butler touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime, as Butler outlasted St. Thomas, 21-14, in Saturday PFL action. He scored his first two touchdowns in the first half, courtesy a two-yard run in the first frame and a one-yard burst in the second quarter, giving Butler a 14-7 lead at halftime. After a quiet second half, Andrew completed a 12-yard pass on the first play of overtime and then ran the ball on the next four plays, scoring what proved to be the game-winner on a one-yard run. He finished the day with 68 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries while completing 16-of-21 passes for 141 yards. Andrew accounted for 209 of Butler’s 286 offensive yards.
This is Andrew’s first PFL weekly honor of 2025 and the third of his career after being recognized twice in 2024.
Andrew joins teammate Luke Green, who earned PFL Special Teams Player of the Week accolades Sept. 7, as Bulldogs to be recognized by the conference office so far this season.
Butler is 4-2 on the season and 2-0 in PFL play. The Bulldogs return to the Sellick Bowl to host Presbyterian Saturday (Oct. 11); the contest is part of Family Weekend on the Butler campus. Presbyterian, which has a bye this weekend, is 5-0 and currently ranked in both FCS national polls (at No. 23 and No. 24, respectively).

BALL STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER FALLS TO MAC LEADER WESTERN MICHIGAN
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State soccer team had a chance to tie the score on a penalty kick midway through the second half but fell 2-0 to Western Michigan on Sunday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.
Down 1-0 in the 73rd minute, the Cardinals (5-5-2, 2-3-1 Mid-American Conference) got the penalty kick after Western Michigan (9-2-1, 5-0-1 MAC) was whistled for a handball in the box. The Ball State shot was off target, and the Broncos scored a second goal on the day a few minutes later to provide the final tally of the contest.
Western broke through with a goal in the 35th minute soon after a corner kick to take a 1-0 edge into halftime.
Ball State goalkeeper Kate Pallante made five saves among the seven shots on goal she faced while playing the full 90 minutes. Delaney Ahearn, Addie Chester, Grier Isaacson, Jordyn Klaasen and Kira Verburg also went the distance for the Cardinals.
Chester took six shots on the afternoon of 11 total for the hosts. Western Michigan had the same amount of shots while both teams earned four corner kicks each. The Broncos were whistled for more fouls (13-9) and offsides violations (3-0).
The Cardinals are next set to play at Eastern Michigan at 3 p.m. on Thursday.

SHAHBAZ AND TANJUATCO CROWNED MAC INDOOR DOUBLES CHAMPIONS

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
SCHUT’S SECOND-HALF EQUALIZER GIVES USI ROAD RESULT AT LITTLE ROCK
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer began its Ohio Valley Conference road trip Sunday afternoon with a 1-1 draw at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock after sophomore defender Emma Schut scored a second-half equalizing goal for the Screaming Eagles.
USI Women’s Soccer (5-5-3, 2-0-2 OVC) picked up a point in OVC play, giving the Eagles eight points through four conference matches. Little Rock (3-3-5, 1-0-3 OVC) moved its total to six points in league play with Sunday’s draw. Both teams remained unbeaten in conference action.
After an undefeated month of September, USI added to its unbeaten streak to begin play in October. The Screaming Eagles’ unbeaten streak is up to eight games (5-0-3). The current streak is a program-best since the end of the 2018 season.
For Schut, the sophomore scored her first goal of the season and became the 11th different Screaming Eagle to score this season. The last season when USI had at least 11 different players score a goal was in 2021.
Schut led USI on Sunday with two shots, both on goal. Redshirt sophomore forward Eva Boer and freshman forward Brooke Shafer each had a shot on target. USI tallied eight shots total with four on goal, while Little Rock had 11 shot attempts with four on frame.
It was Schut who got the offense going early with a shot on goal just over a minute into the contest. USI had a five-minute stretch in the middle of the first half with pressure on in the attacking third that led to three corner kicks. However, the Eagles were kept out of the goal.
Little Rock ended up striking first with a goal in the 33rd minute to grab a 1-0 lead. The 1-0 difference held into halftime, even though Shafer nearly tied it right before the break with a look at the six-yard box that was saved.
USI got another quick look to potentially tie the match just over a minute into the second half with a shot on goal by Boer. A few minutes later, Little Rock had a shot on goal to try and double its lead, but USI redshirt junior goalkeeper Anna Markland, who had three saves on Sunday, made a save to keep the match at 1-0.
After some back-and-forth play, Schut tied the match in the 69th minute from nearly 25 yards outside the box. Schut received the ball in the midfield and dribbled into the vicinity of the top left corner of the box, where she fired a laser across the frame of the goal and into the right side of the goal.
The 1-1 match came down to crunch time in the final seconds. After a USI corner kick with under two minutes left, Little Rock went the other direction and earned a corner kick in the final 10 seconds. The corner kick was headed into the middle of the box, where one last shot attempt by the Trojans sailed over the crossbar to end the match.
Next, USI Women’s Soccer completes the two-game OVC road swing on Thursday afternoon at Eastern Illinois University in a battle against the first-place Panthers. Kickoff Thursday is slated for 3 p.m. and can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.

USI fell behind in the opening minutes after an Eagle foul in the box led to a UIW penalty kick at 3:18 and a 1-0 deficit. The Eagles had their chance during the opening half despite trailing 8-6 in shots and 4-2 in shots on goal.
In the second half, USI got the equalizer on a goal by sophomore forward David Davila off a pass from sophomore midfielder/back Ahiro Nakamae. The goal was Davila’s second of the season.
After UIW regained the lead, 2-1, on a goal at 79:53, USI freshman forward Edin Cvorovic knotted the match back up, 2-2, with a tally at 86:54. Cvorovic posted his second goal of the season from 10 yards out in the box after receiving passes from freshman forward Tony Murphy and Davila.
The final minutes would count down on the clock with UIW getting one more shot with 23 seconds left and the final buzzer.
UIW finished the game with a slight lead in shots, 14-12, and corner kicks, 6-3. USI freshman goalkeeper Jacob English faced six shots on-goal, making four saves.
NEXT UP FOR USI:
The Eagles begin the second half of their four-game homestand on Thursday, hosting Liberty University for a noon kickoff at Strassweg Field. The Flames enter tonight’s 7 p.m. match with Houston Christian with a 6-2-2 overall record, 2-0-0 in the OVC.
In the first meeting between the Eagles and the Flames, Liberty came away with a 6-1 victory in Lynchburg, Virginia. USI freshman midfielder Tony Murphy recorded the Eagles’ lone tally in the game with a second half goal.

UINDY MEN’S SOCCER
HOUNDS GRAB SECOND STRAIGHT WIN ON SUNDAY AGAINST DRURY
INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men’s soccer team picked up a hard earned 1-0 victory on Sunday against Drury.
These two sides have met a whopping 10 times since 2018, with the Greyhounds claiming wins in nine of those 10 games. The only non winning result for Drury came last season in a 2-2 draw.
The Hounds outshot the Panthers 16 to seven today, which marks the eighth time this season that the Greyhounds have outshot their opponent.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Today’s game was a test of both teams’ patience. There were 17 shots before the game’s first goal, but only four of those shots found their way on target.
Keerti Unnamatla made three saves in the first half that didn’t cause him much trouble, but would eventually prove important to the outcome of this one.
Alex Ziermann subbed on the 57th minute, and his addition provided a spark to a UIndy offense that needed it. His missile of a shot in the 71st minute created the ensuing corner that led to Joey Longo’s goal.
Lucas Bedleg’s shot off of Gio Terlizzi’s corner was blocked at the top of the 18 yard box before finally falling to the feet of Longo, who took a touch and rifled home a shot past Drury’s Camden Meyer to put UIndy ahead 1-0.
The final 19 minutes of this one became very contentious, with UIndy attempting to burn the clock, and Drury pushing for the equalizer. There were seven combined fouls, and a possible foul inside the 18 that was not awarded to Drury under 10 minutes.
Unnamatla came up with a crucial save with under six minutes remaining on a wicked redirected shot that calmly found his hands to keep the Hounds lead at one, and claim the teams’ second consecutive win.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Ziermann recorded two shots on goal for the second time this season.
– Longo scored his second goal in three matches, and his fifth goal of Greyhound career.
– Alexander Veridiano recorded his second shot of his short stint at UIndy.
– Brayden Doll appeared in his sixth match of the season for UIndy.
UP NEXT
UIndy will take on Missouri S&T on Friday Oct. 10 at 8:30 p.m in Rolla, MO, for the team’s eighth GLVC match of the season.

UINDY WOMEN’S SOCCER
WOMEN’S SOCCER FALLS TO DRURY ON SUNDAY
INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy women’s soccer team fell on Sunday, 3-0, to Drury, a team that ranked third in the 2025 GLVC standings heading into Sunday’s matchup.
The Panthers have taken the last five meetings against the Greyhounds, only allowing one goal in those five meetings, and netting 10 of their own.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Panthers grabbed the lone goal of the first half just four minutes in on a counter attack from the Panthers that ended with a first time left footed finish from Drury’s Leah McDonald.
After Friday’s win for the Greyhounds, the team wasn’t able to find as much success in front of the net, only registering one shot on goal in the first half, which came from an Ali Dobbs effort in the 26th minute. The Hounds best chance of the half came on a Lyza Shamy free kick that went just high of the cross bar in the 40th minute.
The second half was all Panthers, as the Greyhounds only racked up one shot compared to Drury’s 14.
Kendall Ellis racked up three saves in the second half on those 14 shots, but was unable to retain the second half clean sheet, as Drury grabbed two more goals in the 74th and 81st minutes to cap off the 3-0 win for Drury over UIndy.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Ellis recorded at least six saves for the second time in the last three matches.
– Five Greyhounds played a complete 90 minutes today; Ellis, Morgan Peters, Nicole Schroeder Shamy, and Zy’Aire Parker.
– Dobbs recorded her first shot on goal of the season today.
– Aubrey Crawford made her second appearance in as many games for UIndy.
UP NEXT
UIndy will travel out to Rolla, MO for a meeting against Missouri S&T on Friday Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. This is a matchup the Hounds took in a 2-0 win at Key Stadium last season.

+++++TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY+++++
1906 On a snowy day in Chicago’s West Side Park, the visiting White Sox, known as the Hitless Wonders, edge the Cubs, 2-1, in Game 1 of the first cross-town World Series. Pale Hose starter Nick Altrock outduels future Hall of Fame right-hander Mordecai’ Three Finger Brown,’ going the distance en route to tossing a four-hitter over the heavily favored Northsiders.
1908 In front of nearly 30,000 enthusiastic fans at South Side Park in the season finale, the White Sox start Doc White, coming off a complete game, on only two days rest to thwart the Tigers from clinching the pennant. Chicago’s efforts will fail with a 7-0 defeat to Detroit, who captures the AL flag by half a game ahead of the Cleveland Naps thanks to a rule that doesn’t require a team to make up a rainout game from earlier in the season.
1923 At Braves Field, Ernie Padgett completes the first unassisted triple play in National League history. The 24-year-old Boston rookie shortstop catches Walter Holke’s line drive, doubles up James Tierney at second, then tags Cliff Lee as he retreats to first base for the third out in the fourth inning of the team’s 4-1 victory over the Phillies in the shortened five-inning season finale.
1923 For only the second time in major league history, two 100-loss teams face one another when the 52-100 Braves beat the 50-102 Phillies in the first game of a season-ending doubleheader, 5-4. Boston, then known as the Beaneaters, was also part of the first occurrence of this rare type of matchup when the 50-100 club played the 45-103 team from Brooklyn in 1905.
1926 In a 10-5 Game 4 victory over the Cardinals at Sportsman’s Park, Yankee outfielder Babe Ruth becomes the first player to hit three home runs in a World Series game. History repeats itself when the ‘Sultan of Swat’ again goes deep three times against the Redbirds in St. Louis in the fourth game of the 1928 Fall Classic.
1933 Umpire Charlie Moran ejects Heinie Manush from Game 4 of the Fall Classic after calling out the Senator outfielder at first base in Washington’s 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Giants at Griffith Stadium. The arbitrator takes exception when the future Hall of Famer pulls on his bow tie, letting it snap back.
1941 In Game 5 of the Fall Classic, Tiny Bonham goes the distance, limiting the Dodgers to four hits to give the Yankees their 12th World Championship in franchise history. In one inning during the Bronx Bombers’ 3-1 victory at Ebbets Field, the New York fireballing right-hander will need just three pitches to retire the side.
1943 Cardinal batterymates and brothers Mort and Walker Cooper decide to play Game 2 of the World Series on the day their dad, Robert, dies at his home in Independence. After limiting the Yankees to six hits and winning the game, 4-3, Mort heads to Missouri, while his younger brother, Walker, who has a 1-for-3 day behind the plate with an eighth-inning single, will stay with the club until the Fall Classic is over.
1945 To promote his nearby Billy Goat Tavern, William Sianis buys a ticket to Game 4 of the Fall Classic for his pet goat, Murphy. The bar owner, a Greek immigrant, becomes so upset when the Wrigley Field ushers ask his four-legged guest to leave that he places a curse on the team, preventing the Cubs from winning another World Series.
1946 During Game 1 of the World Series, Whitey Kurowski is awarded home plate on a controversial obstruction call after getting tangled up with Red Sox third baseman Pinky Higgins, giving the Cardinals a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning. The Red Sox rally in the ninth to tie the score, and Rudy York’s home run in the tenth gives Boston an eventual 3-2 victory over the Redbirds at Sportsman’s Park.
1949 In Game 2 of the World Series, only one run scores for the second consecutive contest, but Preacher Roe and the Dodgers win this contest at Yankee Stadium, 1-0. Gil Hodges’ second-inning single drives in Jackie Robinson to even up the Fall Classic at a game apiece.
1952 At Ebbets Field, Billy Loes becomes the first pitcher in World Series history to commit a balk when the ball slips from his hand in the seventh inning of the Dodgers’ 3-2 loss, tying the Fall Classic at three games apiece with the Yankees. The advanced base leads to a run when Vic Raschi bounces a ground-ball single off the leg of the right-hander, who claims he lost the grounder in the sun.
1957 In Game 4, Eddie Mathews’ two-run shot off Bob Grim with one out in the bottom of the tenth inning at County Stadium gives the Braves a 7-5 victory and knots the Fall Classic at two games apiece. The Milwaukee third baseman becomes the third major leaguer, joining Tommy Henrich (1949) and Dusty Rhodes (1954), to end a World Series game with a walk-off home run.
1959 The largest crowd to attend a major league game, 92,706 fans, watches a nail-biter as White Sox hurler Bob Shaw beats Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers, 1-0, in Game 5 of the Fall Classic.
1963 The Dodgers complete a four-game World Series sweep of the Yankees as Sandy Koufax wins his second game, 2-1. Frank Howard leads the offense with a home run and a single, the only two hits Whitey Ford gives up, and New York’s first baseman Joe Pepitone’s error (he loses a thrown ball in the white-shirted crowd) leads to the decisive run in the seventh inning.
1965 “Hey, skip, bet you wish I was Jewish today, too.” – DON DRYSDALE, commenting about his poor performance on the mound with manager Walt Alston after the game. Sandy Koufax declines to pitch the first game of the World Series against the Twins because the scheduled game occurs on Yom Kippur, the most sacred of the Jewish holidays. As the Dodger southpaw attends shul and fasts on the Day of Atonement, Don Drysdale gives up seven runs in three innings in the team’s 8-2 loss at Minnesota’s Metropolitan Stadium.
1965 Mudcat Grant becomes the first black World Series game-winner for an American League team when the Twins take Game 1 from the Dodgers at Metropolitan Stadium, 8-2. Additionally, the 30-year-old right-hander will go deep off Howie Reed in his Game 6 victory, making him the seventh pitcher to homer in a Fall Classic game.
1966 Jim Palmer becomes the youngest player to pitch a shutout in the World Series when the 20-year-old Oriole right-hander blanks Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers, 6-0. Next month, the contest will become more memorable when Koufax surprises the baseball world by announcing his retirement, making this game his last major league appearance.
1966 Willie Davis establishes a World Series record by committing three errors in LA’s 6-0 loss to the Orioles at Dodger Stadium. The center fielder’s blunders come on two consecutive plays in the fifth inning, the first by losing a fly ball in the sun, then by dropping the next fly ball, followed by overthrowing third base.
1968 Bob Gibson, who went deep in Game 7 of last year’s Fall Classic, becomes the first pitcher to hit two home runs in World Series history when he connects off Detroit’s Joe Sparma leading off the fourth inning of Game 4 in the Cardinals’ 10-1 rout at Tiger Stadium. Oriole southpaw Dave McNally will match the mark with round-trippers in the 1969 and 1970 series.
1978 In Game 3 of the ALCS, George Brett goes deep three times off Yankees ace Catfish Hunter. The Kansas City third baseman’s solo shots in the first, third, and fifth frames aren’t enough when New York beats the Royals in the Bronx ballpark, 6-5.
1980 The Mets extend manager Joe Torre’s contract through the 1982 season, despite the team finishing last during his first three seasons in the dugout. The future Hall of Fame skipper will compile a 286-420 (.405) record for the struggling franchise during his five seasons with the team.
1980 In the 163rd game of the season, 35-year-old knuckleballer Joe Niekro earns his 20th victory, going the distance to defeat the Dodgers, 7-1, in the winner-take-all contest for the NL West flag. With the win, the Astros capture their first title in the 19-year history of the franchise after losing a season-ending three-game series to LA (3-2, 2-1, and 4-3) that forced the one-game playoff.
1981 In Game 1 of the ALDS in Kansas City, Mike Norris throws a six-hit complete game, blanking the Royals, 4-0. Oakland’s appearance in the playoffs makes Billy Martin the first skipper in baseball history to manage four franchises (Twins-1969, Tigers-1972, A’s-1981, and Yankees 1976-78) into postseason play.
1983 In the second game of the ALCS, Oriole hurler Mike Boddicker throws a five-hitter, beating the White Sox at Memorial Stadium, 4-0. The Baltimore right-hander, whose performance evens the series, establishes a playoff record when he strikes out 14 Chicago batters.
1984 At Jack Murphy Stadium, Steve Garvey launches the franchise’s first postseason walk-off homer, a two-run shot off future Hall of Fame closer Lee Smith in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Padres a 7-5 walk-off win over the Cubs in Game 4 of the NLCS. After losing the first two contests of the best-of-five NLCS, the victory brings the series to a decisive fifth game that San Diego will win to capture the National League pennant.
1985 On the last day of the season, Yankee knuckleballer Phil Niekro becomes the 18th and oldest player in major league history to win his 300th victory when he blanks the Blue Jays 8-0. The forty-six-year and 188-days-old pitcher, who will win 318 games, also surpasses Satchel Paige (46 years, 75 days) to become the most senior pitcher to throw a big-league shutout.
1991 David Cone ties a National League mark for strikeouts as he fans 19 Phillies en route to a 7-0 victory in the season’s finale. The Mets right-hander finishes the campaign with a league-leading 241 strikeouts, making it the second straight season he has led the circuit.
1991 On Fan Appreciation Day at Shea Stadium, Howard Johnson drives in a run with a seventh-inning single to finish the season with a league-leading 117 RBIs. ‘HoJo’ is the first switch-hitter to lead the National League in runs batted in and the first Mets player to accomplish the feat.
1991 After flying out as a pinch-hitter, Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs completes the season hitting .332, finishing his first ten seasons with a batting average above .300. Al Simmons accomplished the feat in the first 11 seasons of his career with the A’s and the White Sox from 1924-34. and Pirate outfielder Paul Waner, who reached the milestone for a dozen consecutive seasons beginning in 1926, are the only players with longer streaks than the Boston infielder, who has compiled a .345 average over the past decade.
1995 Bernie Williams, in Game 3 of the ALDS, becomes the first major leaguer to hit a home run from each side of the plate in a postseason game. The Yankee outfielder’s second round-tripper, an eighth-inning shot batting left-handed off Bill Risley, is tossed back onto the field by a Mariner fan unaware of the historical value of the souvenir.
1997 After taking an early four-run lead in the Jacobs Field contest, the Indians hold on for the victory, beating the defending World Champion Yankees, 4-3, in Game 5 of the ALDS. The Tribe will beat Baltimore for the AL flag but will lose their second Fall Classic in three years when the team drops Game 7 in extra innings to Florida.
2000 The Reds announced that the team will play on natural grass during its final two seasons at Cinergy Field. The surface in Cincinnati has been artificial turf since 1970, when the ballpark opened as Riverfront Stadium.
2000 Chief Executive Officer John Harrington puts the Red Sox up for sale. Since Jean Yawkey died in 1992, a trust bearing her name has owned the team.
2001 The Mariners, with their 116th win, tie the 1906 Cubs as the winningest team in major league history. Bret Boone’s 37th home run of the season and the shutout pitching of five Seattle pitchers proved to be the difference in the 1-0 historic win over the Rangers.
2001 At Camden Yards, in front of a full house that includes Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Earl Weaver, Commissioner Bud Selig, and former President Bill Clinton, Cal Ripken plays his 3,001st and final game. After a hitless night, the 41-year-old Cal watches the last out of the team’s 5-1 loss to the Red Sox from the on-deck circle.
2001 With his 151st pinch hit, Lenny Harris breaks the major league mark for career pinch hits established by Manny Mota. Coming off the Met bench to bat for Rey Ordonez, he lines a 1-2 pitch off Expo starter Carl Pavano for a single to become the career leader in pinch hits.
2001 Tony Gwynn, who played his entire 20-year career with San Diego, collects his 3,141st and final hit, playing in his 2,439th game with the franchise.’ Mr. Padre’s last knock is a pinch-hit run-scoring double off Rockies’ southpaw Gabe White in the bottom of the sixth inning in the team’s 10-4 victory at Qualcomm Stadium.
2003 Defeating the A’s, 5-4, the Red Sox become the seventh team to win the last three games of a best-of-five playoff series. Other clubs to overcome a 0-2 deficit include the 1981 Dodgers (Astros-NLDS), 1982 Brewers (Angels-ALCS), 1984 Padres (Cubs-NLCS), 1995 Mariners (Yankees-ALDS), 1999 Red Sox (Indians-ALDS), and the 2001 Yankees (A’s-ALDS).
2005 Reds’ outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. (.301, 35, 92) and Yankee first baseman/DH Jason Giambi (.271, 32, 87) are voted the Comeback Players of the Year in their respective leagues. The fans select the award winners for the first time by voting on MLB.com.
2006 After failing to advance past the first round of the American League playoffs in their previous five postseason appearances, the A’s beat the much-favored Twins, 8-3, to complete a three-game ALDS sweep. The victory, the team’s tenth opportunity to win a clinching game, puts Oakland in the ALCS for the first time since 1992.
2007 In Game 2 of the ALDS at Jacobs Field, the Indians score the tying run on a wild pitch thrown by a bug-covered Joba Chamberlain. A rare infestation of insects (midges), which appeared en masse in the eighth inning, impacts the usually reliable rookie Yankees reliever, who suffers his first blown save of the season.
2007 At Wrigley Field, the Diamondbacks beat the Cubs, 5-1, to complete the three-game sweep of their National League division series. The loss for Chicago means the franchise has played in the Windy City for the last 99 years without winning a World Series championship.
2007 With their 17th win in 18 games, the Rockies beat the Phillies at Coors Field, 2-1, completing an NLDS three-game sweep of Philadelphia to advance to their first-ever National League Championship Series. The wild-card team will have to beat the Diamondbacks, their Western division foe, to win the pennant and earn a trip to the World Series.
2009 Joe Mauer wins his third batting title, becoming the first player to accomplish the feat in consecutive seasons since Nomar Garciaparra led the league in 1999-2000. The Twins catcher’s .365 mark establishes a major league record for the highest batting average by a backstop.
2009 With one out in the bottom of the 12th inning in the AL Central tiebreaker, the Twins beat the Tigers, 6-5, when Alexi Casilla’s single plates Carlos Gomez from second base with the winning run. The Metrodome victory finishes a remarkable comeback by Minnesota, going 17-4 in the final month to close a seven-game deficit, and completes a colossal collapse for the Tigers, becoming the first big-league team to surrender a three-game lead with only four contests to play.
2010 Rays’ hurler David Price is this year’s recipient of the Oklahoma Sports Museum’s Warren Spahn Award, given annually to the best left-handed pitcher in the big leagues. The honor, named after the winningest southpaw in the game’s history, is awarded based on a point system that evaluates performance based on wins, strikeouts, and earned run average.
2010 The Cardinals exercised their $16 million option for next season with first baseman Albert Pujols. The 30-year-old superstar, a three-time NL MVP, led the circuit with 42 home runs and 118 RBIs.
2010 At Citizens Bank Park, Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay throws the second no-hitter in postseason history when he beats the Reds, 4-0, in Game 1 of the NLDS. Don Larsen became the first hurler to accomplish the feat by throwing a perfect game in the Yankees’ victory over Brooklyn in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
2011 Robin Ventura, seen by many as a surprise choice, is hired by general manager Ken Williams as the White Sox’s new manager. The former All-Star infielder, who played ten seasons in Chicago after being selected as the team’s first-round pick in 1988, replaces a vocal and often-controversial Ozzie Guillen, who left the Windy City to be the Marlins’ new skipper.
2012 Jim Tracy, with a year remaining on his contract, resigns as the Rockies’ manager, a position he has held since his promotion from the club’s bench coach to the role in May 2009. The former NL Manager of the Year compiled a 294-308 record during his four-year tenure with Colorado, including a 64-98 finish last season, setting a franchise mark for losses.
2012 The Orioles eliminate the two-time AL champion Rangers, 5-1, in the American League’s first win-or-go-home wild-card playoff game. The victory sends the surprising Baltimore team into the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, in a best-of-five division series against the Yankees.
2012 The Indians will name former Boston skipper Terry Francona as their 42nd manager in franchise history, rather than selecting Sandy Alomar Jr., who replaced Manny Acta as the interim field boss with six games remaining on the schedule. The 53-year-old’s father, Tito, played with the Tribe from 1959 to 1964.
2020 The Rays’ pitching staff, in Game 2 of the ALDS, will combine to fan 18 batters, becoming the first team to accomplish the feat in a nine-inning postseason game. Tampa Bay’s accomplishment in their 7-5 victory over the Yankees at Petco Park surpasses the mark shared by five teams with 17 strikeouts.
