The New York Knicks had just endured their second consecutive one-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, and this one left them trailing 2-1 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Signs of trouble were everywhere. The mood in New York was abysmal. Mike Brown’s future as coach was a hot topic. “Stuff’s going to happen,” Brown, the Knicks coach in his first year, said that night in Atlanta. “Plenty of teams have been down 1-2. I even think Oklahoma City was down 1-2 last year and they ended up winning it. I’m not saying we’re going to win it or anything like that, but the reality of it is it’s seven games and you take one game at a time.” The Knicks have played 13 games since. The results: win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win and win. One game at a time, one win at a time, and quite possibly, one championship at a time. The Knicks are back in New York with a 2-0 lead over San Antonio in the NBA Finals, still riding the strength of a 13-game winning streak. A streak like that has happened once before in NBA postseason history, when counting just single-season winning runs. Golden State won 15 in a row on its way to the 2017 title. The common thread between those Warriors and these Knicks? That would be Brown. He was an assistant on that Golden State staff and went 12-0 as acting head coach during the playoffs while Steve Kerr was sidelined by back issues. “You’ve got to have good players,” Brown said. “I’m not that smart. You’ve got to have good players that carry you.” Brown’s playoff record, officially, is a stellar 64-42 as a head coach. Throw those 12 games with the Warriors on his record — which, by NBA rule and precedent, doesn’t happen because Kerr was still head coach, just not present on the sideline for those games — and Brown’s playoff winning percentage would rise to .644. That would be third best in NBA history among coaches with at least 100 playoff games, behind only Phil Jackson and Kerr. Either way, Brown now has to be considered the coaching king of the playoff winning streak. A look inside this run by New York: Dominant margins — The Knicks have outscored Atlanta, Philadelphia, Cleveland and San Antonio in these 13 games by 273 points, the biggest 13-game margin in NBA playoff history. Before this stretch, the biggest 13-game playoff point-differential margin was 225, by those Warriors — the team that Brown led on an interim basis — in 2017. — All but two of the Knicks’ wins in this streak were by double figures. The exceptions: Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Philadelphia (a six-point win) and Game 2 of the NBA Finals against San Antonio (a one-point win). Six additional wins have come with a final margin between 10 and 16 points, and the other five were total blowouts — the Knicks winning those by 29, 30, 37, 39 and 51 points. — The Knicks have led by 40 or more in four different games during the streak, including a 61-point lead at Atlanta in the clinching game of that East first-round series. Rarely in trouble — The Knicks have faced double-digit deficits in just four of the games, with two of those the first two of these NBA Finals against the Spurs. They trailed by 14 in Game 1 and by as many as 12 in Game 2. — They also trailed Philadelphia by 12 in Game 3 of the East semifinals and Cleveland by 22 in Game 1 of the East final. Road warriors — New York is 8-0 on the road during this winning streak, the final margin in those games — even with a one-point game from Friday in there — averaging a staggering 21.5 points. — The only team in Knicks history with a longer road winning streak, either in the regular season or playoffs, was the 1969-70 team that once won 12 in a row away from home. That team went on to win New York’s first NBA title. ===== KNICKS, UP 2-0 IN NBA FINALS, SAY THE JOB IS FAR FROM OVER. AND THE SPURS AREN’T CONCEDING ANYTHING The New York Knicks are up 2-0. They say they’re unfazed. The San Antonio Spurs are down 0-2. They say they’re unfazed. Such is the state of things in the NBA Finals, where both teams were taking a travel day on Saturday. Practices resume Sunday and Game 3 of the title series is Monday night at Madison Square Garden, where President Donald Trump will be watching alongside fans who are willing to pay nearly $10,000 for seats so far from the court that 7-foot-4 Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will look tiny. The Knicks insist they’re not celebrating yet. The Spurs insist they’re not defeated yet. “Every single day, we chip away and try to be the best that we can be. … Even with the series it is now, next game, mindset has to be 0-0 again,” said Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, the late-game hero in both the Game 1 and Game 2 wins that New York got in San Antonio to take an absolute stranglehold on the series. “It’s just how it has to be. You can’t be comfortable. You can’t be satisfied with anything. Just got to continue to push forward.” That’s all they’ve done for a month and a half now. They’ve won 13 consecutive games, the second-longest single-season playoff run in NBA history behind only a 15-game winning streak by Golden State in the 2017 postseason. They have a chance to be the first team in NBA history to make it through the last three rounds of the playoffs — the conference semifinals, conference final and NBA Finals — unbeaten. “One of the things that we preach is being present,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said. “In order to be present, you can’t think about the past, you can’t think about the future. For all of us as humans, that’s hard as heck to do. I constantly, boom, flick myself in the head, tell myself, ‘Be present, be present, be present.’ I obviously mention it to the group, too. With those guys being who they are, they’ve really embraced it, and they’re really trying to live it every single moment during this run.” They don’t get rattled, even on this stage. Counting the NBA Cup final, which isn’t recognized in standings or official league stats, the Knicks are 4-1 against the Spurs this season. The four wins by New York all have something in common: the Knicks trailed by double digits in each of those games. — Cup final in Vegas, the Spurs led by 11 (and lost by 11). — Regular-season game at MSG, the Spurs led by 12 (and lost by 25). — Game 1 of the finals, the Spurs led by 14 (and lost by 10). — Game 2 of the finals, the Spurs led by 12 (and lost by one). “We just need to figure it out,” Wembanyama said. “We need to keep working on it.” The only Spurs win over New York was the regular-season game at home, where they won by two after trailing by 19 and never leading by more than six. Go figure. “It was going to take everything to win the series anyway,” Spurs guard Stephon Castle said. “Putting ourselves in this type of predicament is going to be tough, but I don’t think it’s anything we can’t handle.” The Knicks have an idea of what’s coming on Monday. The Garden will be shaking to its core, since people who spent the kind of money that they’re spending to come see a basketball game likely won’t decide to sit quietly in their seats. The energy in the city will be beyond compare, with a 53-year wait for another NBA championship now just two games away and oddsmakers — who have the Knicks at -550 to win the series — basically saying it’s inevitable. And the Spurs will come out throwing whatever punches they have left to throw. “Knowing them, there’s going to be another level,” Brunson said. “We have to be prepared and be ready to match it and play for 48 minutes. No matter what goes on in the game, we have to have each other’s back, what’s going on, who is on a run, what’s not, who is up, who is down, making sure we are playing together for 48 minutes is really important.” If the Knicks could use a cautionary tale, they need look no further than Mikal Bridges. He was with Phoenix when the Suns took a 2-0 lead in the 2021 finals against Milwaukee. The Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo won that series in six games. It’s a different situation now — those two Suns wins were in Phoenix, not on the road — but it is a reminder that two wins aren’t enough. “It’s still 0-0 as far as we’re concerned,” Knicks forward Josh Hart said. “Being up 2-0 means really nothing. This (San Antonio) team is going to come out on Monday with an unbelievable amount of energy and desperation, and we’ve got to be better.” ================================= NHL MITCH MARNER (HAT TRICK), KNIGHTS HOLD OFF CANES IN 2OT FOR SERIES LEAD LAS VEGAS — Shea Theodore has dealt with his share of crazy caroms off the end boards at T-Mobile Arena over the years. That proved to be a big advantage for the Vegas Golden Knights defenseman in the second overtime of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night. Theodore blasted a slap shot from inside the blue that went wide of the right post but bounced straight off the boards, then off the back of the skate of Carolina goalie Brandon Bussi and into the net to give Vegas a wild 5-4 victory and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. “At that point of overtime, you’re just trying to get anything to the net and kind of hope for a bounce, and luckily we got one,” Theodore said. The wacky bounce was a fitting ending to a game with bizarre, record-setting twists and turns. Mitch Marner recorded the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup history in the second period after Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal to give Vegas a seemingly comfortable 4-0 lead. Marner scored three times in the span of 6:10, besting the mark for the fastest hat trick of 6:21 in Game 1 of the 1957 Stanley Cup Final set by the Montreal Canadiens’ Maurice “The Rocket” Richard against the Boston Bruins. Marner, who had an assist in addition to his natural hat trick, leads the NHL with 28 playoff points, surpassing Jack Eichel’s team record for points in a playoff (26) set in 2023 when the Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup. But the Hurricanes weren’t done. Jordan Martinook, Taylor Hall and Jordan Staal scored for Carolina, all in a 39-second span midway through the third period to cut the lead to 4-3, marking the fastest three goals by one team in Stanley Cup Final history. Andrei Svechnikov forced overtime with a power-play goal with 1:42 remaining to cap the first four-goal comeback by a team in Stanley Cup Final history. That set the stage for Theodore’s game-winner 5:38 into double overtime. “Definitely a tough kick in the you know what,” Carolina captain Jordan Staal said. According to ESPN Insights, the winner of Game 3 in a best-of-seven series tied 1-1 in the Stanley Cup Final has gone on to win the series 77% of the time. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Las Vegas. “I’ve experienced a lot of games in playoffs, but I’ve never experienced one like this,” Vegas coach John Tortorella said. “Where we couldn’t do nothing wrong in the second period, and probably did everything wrong in the third period. It just comes and goes so quickly.” “Chaotic, a little bit,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “Tough way to lose a game, but they’re all tough. It is what it is. We have to bounce back, and we always have, and I’m not worried about that.” Bussi replaced Frederik Andersen, who stopped 12 of 16 shots, at the start of the third period and made 18 saves on 19 shots for Carolina, which lost for the first time in seven road playoff games (6-1). The Hurricanes had been 6-0 in overtime during this playoff run. “Gave us a boost,” Brind’Amour said of his goalie switch. “Tough break at the end because he was playing great.” Following a tight-checking first period that saw Vegas held to just two shots, including none over the final 15:13, the Golden Knights took charge in the second period, scoring four times in the span of 6:26. It could have been worse for the Hurricanes. Vegas had goals by Mark Stone and Eichel both waved off in the first four minutes. Stone’s goal was taken off the board following a coaches’ challenge by Carolina that found the Knights’ Brett Howden was inches offside on the play. Eichel’s tap-in in front of the net was ruled a no-goal because Ivan Barbashev hit Anderson in the head while skating across the top of the blue paint. It didn’t matter. Hertl made it 1-0 at the 10:26 mark with a power-play goal after the Hurricanes picked up a penalty for too many men on the ice. Hertl one-timed an Eichel pass from behind the net into the low slot for his fifth playoff goal. Just 16 seconds later, Marner scooped up a rebound of a William Karlsson shot by the right board and backhanded a shot into the low slot that Carolina defenseman Sean Walker redirected past Andersen and inside the far left post. Less than four minutes later, Marner, just seconds after hitting the post on a breakway, extended the lead to 3-0 when he wrapped in a backhand shot around Andersen’s right pad. Marner then completed his natural hat trick at the 16:52 mark with his 10th goal of the playoffs, breaking down the right wing and blasting a slap shot from the top of the right circle past Andersen’s blocker side. “I can’t do it by myself, that’s for sure,” Marner said in a television interview between periods. “All five guys have been on a great page. I’ve liked our line’s play for the last month.” Marner had a chance to score four straight goals when he was awarded a penalty shot early in the third period after being slashed by Sebastian Aho on a clean breakaway. However, Bussi deflected his backhand try past the left post. Bussi’s save seemed to inspire the Hurricanes, who a few minutes later exploded for goals by Martinook and Hall, both on wrist shots, and a tip-in by Staal of a Jaccob Slavin shot, all in the span of 39 seconds from 7:03 to 7:42 into the period, to cut the lead to 4-3. Theodore picked up a delay of game penalty for firing the puck into the stands with 2:55 remaining. On the power play, Svechnikov scooped in a loose puck in the middle of the crease during a goalmouth scrum to force overtime. “I knew we were eventually going to get back in the game, give us a chance to win, but you can’t make those mistakes in the second period,” Brind’Amour said. “You get no moral victories this time of year.” ================================= MLB MLB ROUNDUP: NINE-RUN FIRST PROPELS DODGERS TO ANOTHER WIN OVER ANGELS Andy Pages and Shohei Ohtani each hit two-run home runs in a nine-run first inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers stayed perfect against the visiting Los Angeles Angels this season with an easy 9-2 victory on Saturday. Ryan Ward added a two-run double in the opening inning while a single from Alex Freeland and a throwing error from Angels shortstop Zach Neto cleared the bases. The Dodgers had their highest scoring inning since a nine-run frame in July 2021 against the Washington Nationals. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4) retired the last 22 batters he faced and gave up one run on two hits over eight innings as the Dodgers improved to 5-0 against the Angels and are 18-5 overall since May 13. Oswald Peraza had an RBI triple and Neto hit a home run for the Angels, while right-handed starter Jack Kochanowicz (2-5) gave up seven runs (six earned), recording one out. The Angels need a win Sunday to avoid being swept in this year’s season series against the Dodgers after they were 6-0 in the rivalry last year. Cubs 3, Giants 2 (10 innings) Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Michael Busch led off the 10th with a walk-off single that was misplayed in right field and Chicago avenged an 18-3 shellacking a day earlier with a victory over visiting San Francisco. Crow-Armstrong also hit a solo homer in the sixth inning and added two singles to complete a 4-for-5 day at the plate. Busch had two hits. Ryan Rolison (5-1) stranded the automatic runner in the top of the 10th after Ben Brown allowed just one run on one hit over 5 1/3 innings. Rafael Devers homered and Matt Chapman had a sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth to give the Giants a 2-1 lead. Sam Hentges (1-1) took the loss after facing just one batter and allowing an unearned run. Landen Roupp allowed one run on three hits over 5 2/3 innings. Braves 6, Pirates 3 Dominic Smith lobbed an opposite-field home run just inside the left-field foul pole to highlight a three-run inning and help Atlanta beat visiting Pittsburgh. With the game tied 3-3, the Braves rallied for three runs in the bottom of the fifth. They executed their second double steal of the game, this time with Ronald Acuna Jr. and Matt Olson on base, and Ozzie Albies broke the tie with his second sacrifice fly. Smith, who went 2-for-3, followed with a two-run homer. The winning pitcher was Spencer Strider (4-1), who worked five innings and allowed three runs on five hits and two walks. He posted a season-low three strikeouts. Pittsburgh starter Braxton Ashcraft (5-3) pitched five innings and matched his season high by allowing six runs. Ashcraft gave up nine hits and struck out five. Padres 3, Mets 2 Freddy Fermin delivered a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning and San Diego snapped a six-game losing streak with a decision over visiting New York. With Sung-Mun Song on first after legging out a two-out infield hit, Fermin jumped on a first-pitch sinker from Austin Warren (1-2) for his first 2026 homer. Bradgley Rodriguez (1-2) won despite allowing the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh on Marcus Semien’s blast. New York’s Nolan McLean gave up three hits and a run over six innings. San Diego’s Jason Adam worked around a pair of hits in the eighth and Mason Miller pitched around a two-out walk to A.J. Ewing in the ninth for his 18th save in as many chances. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit an RBI single in the third to get San Diego on the board. Mariners 4, Tigers 0 Dominic Canzone homered and drove in two runs, Bryce Miller tossed six powerful innings and Seattle silenced host Detroit. Randy Arozarena supplied two hits while scoring a run and knocking in two more as the Mariners bounced back from two consecutive losses. Miller gave up just one hit while walking two and striking out nine. Jose Ferrer, Matt Brash and Gabe Speier each pitched a scoreless inning to complete the two-hit shutout. Colt Keith’s triple and Kevin McGonigle’s double were the only hits the Tigers could muster. Detroit had scored 32 runs during a four-game winning streak prior to getting blanked. Royals 3, Twins 2 Bobby Witt Jr. hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and Kansas City rallied for a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis. Carter Jensen homered and drove in two runs for Kansas City, which earned its second victory in the four-game set. The Royals will go for a series win Sunday. Orlando Arcia homered for the Twins. Tristan Gray also had an RBI. Cardinals 6, Reds 5 Lars Nootbaar belted a two-run homer in the eighth to erase a one-run deficit and rally St. Louis past visiting Cincinnati. Nootbaar, who missed the first two months with double heel surgery before returning Friday night, connected off Sam Moll (1-4) after Jose Fermin singled. George Soriano (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth, then Riley O’Brien loaded the bases in the ninth but retired Sal Stewart to earn his 16th save in 20 chances. Jordan Walker also went deep. For the Reds, Matt McLain hit a two-run shot, Blake Dunn had three hits and a run and Spencer Steer walked in the fifth to extend his on-base streak to a career-best 24 games, the longest current streak in the majors. Blue Jays 6, Orioles 4 Ernie Clement had a three-run homer and a triple and Toronto defeated visiting Baltimore. Clement also played strong defense at second base and Brandon Valenzuela added three hits and a sacrifice fly as the Blue Jays gained a split of the first two games of the three-game series. Spencer Miles (3-1) followed the opener and held the Orioles to two runs over 4 1/3 innings. Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer, Colton Cowser and Blaze Alexander hit solo shots and Gunnar Henderson had three hits and a run for the Orioles. Starter Kyle Bradish (3-7) endured a tough outing, allowing five runs in four innings. Nationals 6, Diamondbacks 1 Curtis Mead and Dylan Crews homered, Zack Littell won his fifth straight start, and Washington beat Arizona in Phoenix. Mead hit a two-run homer, his ninth, on the eighth pitch of the game for the Nationals. Crews had two hits and scored twice, and Nasim Nunez singled and drove in two. Littell (6-4) gave up one run and two hits in five innings before three Washington relievers combined for four no-hit innings. LuJames Groover drove in the Diamondbacks’ only run with his first career hit, a single which plated Pavin Smith. Eduardo Rodriguez (5-2) was denied his 100th career win, giving up four runs and six hits over 6 1/3 innings. White Sox 6, Phillies 3 Colson Montgomery and Jacob Gonzalez homered, and Tristan Peters notched three hits to guide Chicago past host Philadelphia. Right-hander Sean Burke (3-3) entered in the second inning and carried the White Sox into the sixth, giving up three runs, three hits and five walks with seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. Reliever Sean Newcomb got the last out in the sixth, then worked a 1-2-3 seventh. Grant Taylor came on for the ninth and promptly logged his second save. Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh homered for the Phillies, who had won eight of their last 10 games. Adolis Garcia knocked in the other run for Philadelphia, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rough outing by starter Andrew Painter (1-7), who allowed six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. Astros 13, Athletics 2 Yordan Alvarez clubbed his fifth career grand slam as Houston pounded the visiting Athletics to clinch the three-game series between American League West rivals. The Astros socked three home runs off right-hander Kade Morris (0-1), who endured a forgettable major league debut. LaMonte Wade Jr. and Jose Altuve also homered off Morris, who allowed nine runs on nine hits over four-plus innings. Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai (3-3) allowed two runs on five hits over five innings. He surrendered an RBI single to Tyler Soderstrom that scored Nick Kurtz and walked Zack Gelof with the bases loaded in the A’s two-run third. Marlins 4, Rays 3 Javier Sanoja was 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs as host Miami knotted its three-game series with AL East-leading Tampa Bay with a win. Otto Lopez notched two hits, and Esteury Ruiz scored a run, walked three times, stole a base and was hit by a pitch. The Marlins navigated a bullpen game with seven pitchers combining to allow just five hits. Tyler Zuber struck out Junior Caminero with the bases loaded in the ninth to record his first career save. Yandy Diaz was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a double for the Rays. Over five-plus innings, starter Shane McClanahan (6-3) surrendered four runs on eight hits, taking his first loss since April 19. Guardians 6, Rangers 0 Tanner Bibee pitched eight innings to earn his first win of the season, and Jose Ramirez and Brayan Rocchio hit solo home runs to power Cleveland to a shutout of Texas in Arlington, Texas. Bibee (1-7) allowed three hits as the Guardians evened the three-game series at one win apiece. Chase DeLauter, Daniel Schneemann and Rocchio each had two hits for the Guardians, who broke the game open with a four-run fifth inning. Corey Seager, Josh Jung and Kyle Higashioka each singled for the Rangers’ only hits. Jack Leiter (3-5) gave up five runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Brewers 7, Rockies 1 Brice Turang hit two of Milwaukee’s five solo homers, Jacob Misiorowski struck out eight in seven solid innings and the Brewers beat Colorado in Denver. David Hamilton homered and tied a career high with four hits, William Contreras and Jake Bauers (four walks) also went deep. Misiorowski allowed one unearned run on four hits over seven innings, lowering his ERA to 1.50, second-best in the majors. Kyle Karros had two doubles and an RBI for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row. Zach Agnos (0-1) got the start and allowed two runs on three hits over three innings. ============================== TENNIS RUSSIAN TEEN MIRRA ANDREEVA SAYS SHE HAD TO OVERCOME SO MANY DEMONS INSIDE TO WIN THE FRENCH OPEN PARIS (AP) — Bent over with her hands covering her face, her knees getting dirtied on the red clay court, Mirra Andreeva was celebrating — processing might be the more appropriate word — how she had finally overcome “so many demons inside” that came with being a teenage tennis phenom. After bursting onto the scene at 15, Andreeva became a Grand Slam champion at 19 when the Russian ended the run of 114th-ranked Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska with a 6-3, 6-2 victory in the French Open final on Saturday. “I’ve done a lot of visualizations before. Not just this tournament, but I’ve had dreams, I’ve had a lot of thoughts on how it’s going to happen, if it’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen, where,” Andreeva said, still hardly breathing as she talked quickly in true teenage style. “The feeling in real life is so much better than in your dreams. “I can call myself a Grand Slam champion,” Andreeva added. The biggest challenges for Andreeva have not been on the court — she already has one of the best attacking baseline games in the sport — it’s been the mental side. And her stubbornness. “Her attitude is difficult,” said Conchita Martinez, Andreeva’s coach and a former Wimbledon champion. “You tell her something, and maybe she’s not open to listening. … When she works hard and when she listens and she does everything, she has no limits.” Andreeva acknowledged as much during the trophy ceremony. “I know I can be a tough cookie sometimes and it’s pretty hard to put up with me,” Andreeva said. The victory took Andreeva one step further than Martinez, who lost the 2000 French Open final to Mary Pierce. Pierce presented the winner’s trophy to Andreeva, who became the youngest woman to win the clay-court Grand Slam since Monica Seles was 18 when she claimed her third straight French Open in 1992. “You’re so young and talented. It’s so annoying,” the 24-year-old Chwalinska told Andreeva. Andreeva took the unusual step of thanking herself “for believing in myself, always giving my 100%, even when it’s tough, trying every day to be better as a person and as a player, believing that I can do this, fighting so many demons inside of me. “Only I know how tough it was for me,” Andreeva added. “How nervous I was throughout these two weeks.” Andreeva also thanked her psychologist, who she said was watching from Florida: “Everything that you’ve told me I’ve been trying to use these two weeks.” Chwalinska opens up about depression Chwalinska was attempting to become the first qualifier to capture the Roland Garros title. She was a promising junior alongside four-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek before she began struggling with depression in 2019. “Tennis is such a tough sport. It’s so individual. We start so early. We are basically kids when we start,” Chwalinska said. “People are expecting that we are going to behave like adults already and we are just kids really. So the pressure is huge.” Andreeva was born in Siberia and moved to Sochi and eventually France to develop her tennis career. She drew a loud applause from the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier when she spoke a few words of French during the trophy presentation. “Thanks for your support today and over these past two marvelous weeks here in Paris,” Andreeva said in French. “It was very important for me.” Andreeva has been considered a Grand Slam contender since she burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old at the 2023 Madrid Open, where she became the third-youngest player to win a main draw match at a WTA 1000 tournament and made the quarterfinals. Lately, Andreeva has had to contend with playing under neutral status and without her country’s flag because of the war with Ukraine. When she beat Marta Kostyuk in the semifinals, Kostyuk refused to shake her hand, as has been the custom for Ukrainian players facing Russians ever since the war started in 2022. “Every person doesn’t want to have a war in the world,” Andreeva said. “I never think about those things when I play.” Mastering the wind The final was played under a mostly sunny sky, though wind was a factor in the first Grand Slam final for both players. Chwalinska double-faulted on the opening point of the match, but she was the first player to hold serve in the fifth game for a 3-2 lead. But then Andreeva won nine stright games to take control as she found a way to hit through the wind and answer Chwalinska’s array of spins and drop shots. Whereas Chwalinska would retreat to handle high balls in the wind, Andreeva often would move forward and take balls on the rise. “She definitely handled wind much better than me,” Chwalinska said. “She was not running away from the ball.” Andreeva produced 25 winners to Chwalinska’s 10 and also had fewer unforced errors: 26 to 29. There was a strong Polish presence in the crowd. When Chwalinska was introduced, fans held aloft red-and-white Polish flags and chanted her name: “Ma-ja, Ma-ja.” Andreeva had little support from the crowd, although there was a shout of “Davai, Mirra!” (“Go, Mirra”) in Russian late in the match. Alexander Zverev plays Flavio Cobolli in the men’s final on Sunday to conclude the wildest Grand Slam in recent memory. ================================= HORSE RACING GOLDEN TEMPO WINS THE 158TH RUNNING OF THE BELMONT STAKES AFTER WINNING THE KENTUCKY DERBY SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — Golden Tempo won the 158th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, capturing the third leg of the Triple Crown five weeks after winning the Kentucky Derby and making more history for trainer Cherie DeVaux. With jockey Jose Ortiz aboard, Golden Tempo charged down the stretch at Saratoga Race Course to win the Belmont, holding off Commandment before the finish line at the historic track to win at odds of 6-1. Commandment was second and favorite Renegade third. “Golden Tempo is amazing. Jose is amazing,” said DeVaux, who was born in Saratoga Springs and began her training career there. “I think he needed to do this to kind of show that he was meant to win the Derby and that he is a horse that belongs in that conversation of being one of the top 3-year-olds.” DeVaux, after becoming the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner, is the second in four years to do so at the Belmont. Jena Antonucci won it with Arcangelo in 2023. DeVaux is the first woman to win multiple Triple Crown races. “It’s overwhelming,” DeVaux said. “All the credit goes to Golden Tempo, who won the race and Jose did a wonderful job of making it happen. But I’m just so fortunate to be in this position. It’s history-making, and I’ve kind of shied away from it, but I’m really gracious that I am that person.” The pace was not nearly as fast as it was at Churchill Downs, yet Golden Tempo still was able to close in time to win the 1 1/4-mile race in 2:03.49. It didn’t matter, as he was the best in the field of nine horses. “He wasn’t going to get that setup as he did in the Derby,” Ortiz said. “We all knew that, and I was a little worried about it. He needed some kind of setup. But today, there wasn’t one and he showed up today and won.” This was the third and final time for the Belmont at Saratoga in upstate New York while its traditional home on the border of Queens and Long Island is getting demolished and rebuilt. The race is set to return to Belmont Park next year. “It’s so meaningful,” DeVaux said. “A lot of family here. Saratoga, it’s been wonderful to have such a historic race here. … It’s so meaningful because the town gets to have this and celebrate it along with us.” Golden Tempo paid $14 to win, $7.32 to place and $3.88 to show. Commandment paid $7.02 to show and $4.08 to place, while Renegade — the Derby runner-up — paid $2.52 to place. Ortiz said he followed Renegade, ridden by older brother Irad, just as he did in the Derby. It worked out just the same in the first Saturday in June as the first Saturday in May. “He was a bouncing a bit today, which made me very happy because I wanted him to be a little bit sharper today,” Jose Ortiz said. “You can see him, he’s very relaxed. He does what I ask him to do. That’s the main thing.” Co-owner Vinnie Viola dedicated the race to late friend Dominic DiPrisco, who died Wednesday at age 70. “I know you’re in heaven, and I love you and this race is for you,” Viola said. “It means more than I can express in words right now.” Ortiz won the Belmont Stakes for the second time, nine years after his first aboard Tapwrit in 2017. “Obviously the last Belmont in Saratoga make it special, but it’s all about him,” Ortiz said. “We just wanted him to get better and keep winning these kinds of races. … We’re very happy with him. It’s all about him.” ================================= GOLF NEWS J.T. POSTON, RYAN GERARD TIED FOR MEMORIAL LEAD AFTER WEATHER-SHORTENED DAY J.T. Poston and Ryan Gerard share the lead in the Memorial Tournament after a weather-hampered partial third round Saturday at Dublin, Ohio. Poston and Gerard are at 9-under-par through five holes of the third round, which was suspended. setting up a long day of play Sunday at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Poston was the second-round leader and played Saturday’s five holes at even-par. Gerard made up one stroke. Sam Burns at 8 under and Eric Cole at 6 under hold the third and fourth spots. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The fourth round will begin in late morning with players going off the first and 10th tees. World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who’s at 1 under for the tournament, made a move on the front side Saturday with a three-hole stretch played at 4 under, capped by an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole. But he posted bogeys on Nos. 12 and 14, which was his final hole before the suspension. There was a weather-related delay because of thunderstorms for more than one hour beginning late in the morning. It pushed some tee times back 1 hour, 40 minutes. Another suspension of play came at 4:34 p.m. and then it was determined the rest of the tournament would be pushed to Sunday. ===== NELLY KORDA (67) MOVES UP TO SHARE US WOMEN’S OPEN LEAD Nelly Korda learned some lessons last year when she fell short of winning the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills. The top-ranked player in the world didn’t handle the pressure well. She also was unable to elevate her performance and she ended up tied for second as Sweden’s Maja Stark won by two shots. Korda is back in position for another run after she finished in style Saturday with three consecutive birdies. She is tied with South Korea’s Sei Young Kim for the lead at 6-under-par 207 after three rounds of the U.S. Women’s Open in Los Angeles. Korda fired a 4-under 67 for the second straight day as she takes aim at winning that elusive first U.S. Women’s Open in her 12th attempt. She is the only golfer to birdie Nos. 16, 17 and 18 in succession over the first three rounds. “I think last year I really, really wanted it, and the more you want it sometimes, the more you stiffen up and you get a little bit more nervous,” Korda said. “I play my best golf when I’m happy, free Nelly, and I’m kind of joking around out there. So that’s kind of the attitude that I’m going to have tomorrow.” Kim shot 68 with one birdie over the last three holes to keep pace with Korda. Jennifer Kupcho (69) and South Korea’s In Gee Chun (69) share third place, one shot behind. Second-round co-leader Ruoning Yin (71) of China, Japan’s Nasa Hataoka (68) and Mexico’s Gaby Lopez (70) are tied for fifth at Riviera Country Club, located just blocks away from where the devastating fire roared through the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in early 2025. Korda had five birdies and one bogey as she chases her fourth career major title. The World No. 1 is playing in her 12th U.S. Women’s Open and has just three previous top-10 finishes. However, she’s feeling good about sharing the lead with 18 holes to go. “It’s always amazing to be in this position,” Korda said. “That’s what we work so hard for, to be in this spot. So whatever happens tomorrow happens, but I’m going to give it my all and see what the outcome is.” Kim made five birdies against two bogeys. She is eyeing her second career major title. “It’s been a long time since I won a major championship,” Kim said. “Last time it was 2020, KPMG (Women’s PGA Championship). So, yeah, maybe I play under the pressure (Sunday), but I try to just do what I have to do to focus on the course.” Chun, a three-time major winner, had two birdies and two bogeys. After securing an eagle on the par-5 first hole, she sank consecutive birdies on 11 and 12 to tie Kim for the lead. “The U.S. Open has a great, cool setting out there,” Chun said. “We have so many good players here. But I don’t want to be like perfect every time, I just simply know what I can do out there and just have to take it day by day.” Kupcho birdied 16 and 17 to creep up the leaderboard. She had four birdies and two bogeys and is looking for her second career major crown. “I can’t control what anyone else is doing, so I’m just going to go out there and do my best and see how that matches up with them,” Kupcho said of her approach for Sunday. Yin birdied 16 and 17 but settled for a par on 18 to finish at even par. Yin had three bogeys over the first nine holes before recording three birdies over the last six holes. Hataoka had four birdies and one bogey while Lopez eagled the par-4 No. 10 and also had two birdies to go with three bogeys. The other second-round co-leader, Alison Lee, struggled with five bogeys while scoring four birdies, shooting 72. Her bogey on 18 knocked her into a tie for eighth with England’s Charley Hull (65) and South Korea’s Hyunjo Yoo (71) at 3-under 210. Hull shot 73-72 the first two rounds but jetted into contention with the best round of the day, notching seven birdies and just one bogey. She finished the round with three birdies in the last five holes. “I kind of like chasing,” Hull said. “I just find it more fun and I can then be free and then just play golf how I want to play golf.” Hull has never won a major. Her resume includes a solo second, three ties for second and a tie for third in majors. Yoo had three birdies and three bogeys. Defending champion Stark shot a 68 on Saturday and is tied for 11th at 2 under. ===== DARREN CLARKE, BEN CRANE POST RECORD 54, LEAD AMERICAN FAMILY Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke teamed with Ben Crane to break an event record with their 17-under 54 on Saturday at the American Family Insurance Championship in Madison, Wis. Partnering for the first time at the PGA Tour Champions’ only team event, Clarke and Crane birdied a remarkable 17 of 18 holes in the scramble format to get to 26 under. Their low round bested by two shots the previous record of 56 established by Steve Stricker and Mario Tiziani during 2025’s scramble round. “Listen, when you shoot 54, put 54 on your scorecard, that’s pretty impressive,” Clarke said. “I’ve never done that before. It was wonderful. Great to stand there and play with somebody who you know if you miss a putt or you miss a shot, they’re going to back you up and hit it in there.” The duo came into the day at 9-under after a 62 during Friday’s four ball (best ball) format. They then teed off their round with nine straight birdies, settled for par on the par-4 10th, and closed with eight more birdies to build a three-shot lead going into Sunday. The three-day event at TPC Wisconsin introduced the team format last year. The first and final rounds are four ball (best ball), while Saturday’s second round was a scramble. Clarke is a defending champion at the event, having won with former partner Thomas Bjorn in 2025. Bjorn is resting this year, recovering from spinal surgery. Crane, 50, is trying to snap a winless streak of nearly 12 years (11 years, 11 months and 29 days). Clarke, by contrast, is trying to become just the second two-time winner of this event, joining Jerry Kelly (2019, ’21). The 57-year-old Clarke has five wins overall at Champions. “Today was one of those special days that I’ll remember for my whole life, shooting 54 with Darren Clarke,” Crane said. In second place at 23 under are Australia’s Cameron Percy and Greg Chalmers. Like Clarke and Crane, they went bogey-free, recording an eagle on No. 11 to card a 58. They are both seeking their first win on the Champions tour. Freddie Jacobson of Sweden and Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark had been the first-round leaders after scoring a 59. They dropped into a tie for sixth place on Saturday at 21 under with a second-round 62. Three teams are tied for third place at 22 under: Alex Cejka of Germany and Tim O’Neal (57), Jason Caron and Brett Quigley (58) and Rory Sabbatini of Slovakia and Brian Gay (60). Tied with Jacobson and Kjeldsen at 21 under are Tag Ridings and Tommy Gainey (58), Doug Barron and Dicky Pride (58) and Paul Stankowski and Scott Parel (59). ================================== AUTO RACING DENNY HAMLIN WINS POLE FOR MICHIGAN NASCAR CUP RACE The last driver to make a qualifying run around Michigan International Speedway on Saturday afternoon, Denny Hamlin claimed the Busch Light Pole Award for Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 (3 p.m. ET on Prime Video, HBO Max, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) – dashing Michigan native Carson Hocevar’s hopes for some home state glory in the final minutes of the session. Hamlin’s lap of 195.117 mph in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota bettered Hocevar’s run in the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet by a slight .018-second around the two-mile Michigan high-banks and gives the veteran – and defending Michigan race winner – Hamlin 50 career NASCAR Cup Series pole positions. After climbing out of his Toyota, the 45-year-old Hamlin walked over to the 23-year-old Hocevar on pit road, where they spoke briefly and hugged. Hamlin smiled and joked that he only felt “this bad” holding up a nearly-touching thumb and forefinger for taking the qualifying win. Only an hour earlier during practice, Hamlin’s car had a tire issue and he was unable to participate in the full session as his team made repairs, making the pole win all the more remarkable and dramatic. “They did a great job accounting for the damage on the bottom side (of his car), they re-balanced it but it was a handful – all I wanted, certainly,” said Hamlin, who won from pole position last week at Nashville. “That was surprising. “That was the limit for sure,” Hamlin said. Despite being recognized as the pole winner, Hamlin will start from the rear in Sunday’s race due to repairs needed for his car after Saturday’s session. Hocevar was clearly disappointed in the qualifying outcome. Earlier in the afternoon, he led the most laps in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race only to finish third. A first-time NASCAR Cup Series winner at Talladega in April, Hocevar insisted, however, he was still optimistic about his chances come Sunday afternoon. “It’s a testament to these guys, they do a really good job,” Hocevar said. “Yeah, I would have loved to have that there, but third in the truck race {Saturday afternoon} and second in Cup qualifying, hopefully that’s a trend there. “I feel like it’s a really good race car, one of the best I’ve had here. So, I hope it translates tomorrow. I feel really good about our race car so starting out front is super important. “I know it’s just qualifying, but damn, I didn’t know I wanted it this much here. Just means a lot for so many reasons.” Current Cup Series leader, 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick (who topped Saturday practice) was third-fastest in the No. 45 Toyota that Hamlin co-owns with NBA superstar Michael Jordan. Hamlin’s JGR teammates Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe were next quickest, giving Toyota four of the top-five starting positions. Chase Elliott was the second-highest qualifying Chevrolet in sixth place. Chris Buescher, the 2023 Michigan winner, was the top qualifying Ford in 14th place. Ford has a Michigan track record 44 wins – 18 more than Chevrolet and 37 more than Toyota, however Toyota has won the last two races (Reddick in 2024 and Hamlin in 2025). The last polesitter to win at Michigan from pole was Team Penske’s Joey Logano in 2019. In fact, Logano’s three Michigan wins (2019, 2016, 2013) all came from pole position. He’ll start 18th Sunday.

The Fever will close out a two-game road trip at the Washington Mystics on Monday, June 8, a 7 p.m. broadcast available nationally on Peacock and locally on WTHR. A high tempo start from both sides saw the Fever and Liberty battling back-and-forth throughout the first quarter, with the visiting side taking the 25-21 lead thanks to a combined 16 points from Aliyah Boston, Monique Billings and Kelsey Mitchell. The Fever saw their lead shrink slightly in the second quarter, in front by three points at the half with Caitlin Clark and Mitchell leading Indiana in scoring with five apiece. The Fever maintained their lead over the Liberty through the third quarter with Billings’ six points leading Indiana. The Liberty overtook Indiana in the fourth quarter thanks to 21 made free throws, with the Fever unable to overcome the late deficit, resulting in the road loss. POSTGAME NOTESBOX SCORE Indiana Fever Notes: With her defensive rebound at 5:06 in the third quarter Aliyah Boston surpassed Ebony Hoffman (1,115) for the third-most total rebounds in Indiana Fever history, doing so in just 133 games. Boston finished the night with nine rebounds bringing her career total to 1,119 total rebounds. Monique Billings scored a season high 15 points, marking her first double-digit scoring game as a member of the Indiana Fever. Kelsey Mitchell finished the night with 21 points for 5,024 points across her career, surpassing Taj McWilliams-Franklin for the 29th most points in WNBA history. ================================== INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS ST. PAUL, Minn. – Aaron Sabato clubbed a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning as the St. Paul Saints defeated the Indianapolis Indians on Saturday night at CHS Field, 6-4. Esmerlyn Valdez hit a go-ahead solo homer in the ninth. Indianapolis (25-37) entered the bottom of the 11th with a 4-3 lead. Matt Wallner led off with a double that plated the extra-innings automatic runner to tie the game, and Sabato followed with his 11th home run of the season that sailed over the left field wall to end the game. In a 2-2 ninth-frame tie, Valdez crushed a ball deep into right-center field to take the lead. The Saints (33-28) rallied for a run to force extras before Sabato left the yard. Termarr Johnson singled home a run for another brief lead in the top of the 11th before St. Paul’s rally to win. Johnson and Billy Cook recorded multiple hits each. Trent Baker (W, 3-2) worked both extra frames for the Saints. He was scoreless in the 10th and limited the Indians to just one run in the 11th. Jarod Bayless (L, 0-2) kept St. Paul off the board in the 10th, but he allowed the three runs in the 11th and took the loss. The Indians and Saints wrap up their series on Sunday afternoon at CHS Field, first pitch is slated for 3:07 PM ET. Indy has not announced a starter while St. Paul will open the game with John Klein (1-1, 6.17). ================================== INDY ELEVEN Indianapolis – When halftime ended at Carroll Stadium, the floodgates opened, both for Indy Eleven and the sky. As heavy rain began to fall upon downtown, the Boys in Blue scored two goals in the first ten minutes of the second half to earn a 2-0 win over Forward Madison FC in Prinx Tires USL Cup play. For much of the first half, Indy Eleven peppered Forward Madison FC’s goal, taking 12 shots and putting five on target under cloudy skies. The Boys in Blue threatened immediately coming out of halftime. In the 48th minute, Cam Lindley floated in an inswinging free kick toward the back post. Bruno Rendón got under the cross on the right side of the box and headed the ball back toward the crowded six, where Paco Craig towered above a host of bodies to score his first goal of the season on a header. Just six minutes later, the Boys in Blue were back on the attack. Kian Williams drove down the right sideline and played a through ball to Alejandro Mitrano as he was entering the box. Mitrano made a first-time cutback pass to Jack Blake, whose sliding shot from 12 feet out was parried back into the middle of the box by Madison goalkeeper Tenzing Mansing. Josh O’Brien arrived at the box and put away the rebound for his third goal in all competitions this season. Throughout the rest of the second half, the Boys in Blue continued to look as threatening as the lightning visible in the distance over north Indianapolis. Indy Eleven had a whopping nine shots on target in the second half. While Madison had a handful of shots in the later parts of the second half, the Indy Eleven defense stood strong, helping Reice Charles-Cook record his second clean sheet in just his fourth start of the season. Rendón, who is a finalist for USL-C’s May “Player of the Month” award, was threatening all night long and recorded the game’s only assist. Although his four-game goal-scoring streak ended, he nearly scored midway through the first half. Jack Blake played him through on a quickly taken free kick in the 34th minute, but a last-second sliding tackle by a Madison defender deflected his shot off target. Rendón still leads all players with 11 goals in the three-year history of the USL Cup, four more than any other player. 15-year-old forward Tyler Lowden made his Indy Eleven debut with four minutes to go, becoming the youngest player to take the pitch with the first-team in franchise history. The Greenwood, Ind., native who attends Center Grove High School was signed to an academy contract just eight days ago. The final statistics revealed just how dominant the hosts were. Indy Eleven finished with 23 shots, 14 on target, and eight corners. The Boys in Blue are 1-1-1 in USL Cup Group 4 play with one group game remaining at Lexington SC on June 20. Indy Eleven resumes USL Championship action at Eastern Conference opponent Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC next Saturday at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.

On a rainy day, St. Louis Browns pitcher Ted Breitenstein walks 13 men as the Boston Beaneaters avenge a humiliating loss the previous day with a 19 – 8 rout. 1900 – New York Giants pitcher Cy Seymour scatters ten hits and issues 11 walks, but manages to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 10 – 3. Despite the win, the Giants farm out Seymour to the Worcester Farmers of the Eastern League after the game. Seymour will later return to the majors as an outfielder. 1905 – At Exposition Park, New York Giants pitcher Christy Mathewson beats Patsy Flaherty and the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 – 3. Mathewson drives in an insurance run in the 9th inning with his second hit of the game. 1906 – The Chicago Cubs, now in first place again, score 11 runs in the 1st inning off Christy Mathewson and Joe McGinnity en route to a 19 – 0 humiliating defeat of the New York Giants. Mathewson gives up six walks and McGinnity leaves after the 2nd inning. Jack Pfiester allows just three hits as he coasts to the win, the worst beating in Giants franchise history. 1907 – The Boston Red Sox send former player-manager Jimmy Collins to the Philadelphia Athletics for infielder John Knight. Collins guided Boston to two American League pennants and the 1903 World Series title. Boston then buys 43-year-old Deacon McGuire from the New York Highlanders and makes him manager. He will have a 98-123 record this year and in 1908. 1908 – The Detroit Tigers turn a triple play against the Boston Red Sox for the second day in a row, but Boston wins, 9 – 5. The two tri-killings in two games is a unique major league record. 1910 – In his major league debut, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Eddie Stack stops the Chicago Cubs, 1 – 0, on three hits. The Cubs sold Stack to the Phillies on May 26th. He will pitch three complete-game victories between the 14th and 22nd, but will end the year with a 6-7 record. 1911: After two years on the vaudeville circuit with his wife Mabel Hite, and occasional sojourns in jail for drunkenness and assault, Turkey Mike Donlin is reinstated by the National Commission as he rejoins the Giants. Donlin doesn’t play today, but Pirates pitchers have the Giants hitting the ball on the ground all day. The Pirates have 55 total chances on a record 28 assists and 27 putouts, but seven errors help the Giants to a 9 – 4 win. Meanwhile, John McGraw’s willingness to put up with Donlin will cease after 12 games, and the .333 lifetime hitter will be traded to the last-place Boston Rustlers. In the 7th inning against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Heinie Zimmerman and Al Kaiser of the Chicago Cubs both steal home – the only time in major league history the Cubs have pulled off the feat. Chicago will swipe home a National League-record 17 times this year. 1912 – New York Giants pitcher Christy Mathewson allows 11 hits and six runs, but still defeats the Cincinnati Reds, 7 – 6. George Suggs takes the loss for Cincinnati, which now trails New York by 9 1/2 games. 1913: At the Polo Grounds, the New York Yankees finally win a game, 3 – 2, over the Chicago White Sox. The Yanks are now 10-34. The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants combine for 26 hits with New York emerging with a 9 – 8 win. Christy Mathewson, the last of five Giants hurlers, picks up the win against reliever Sandy Burk. 1921 – The only baseball game canceled because of a murder occurs at Kingsport, Tennessee (Appalachian League), when the body of a slain girl is found at the ballpark. To prevent the trail from becoming confused for bloodhounds, police close the park and cancel the game against Knoxville. 1923 – New York Giants owner John McGraw ships pitcher Jesse Barnes and catcher Earl Smith to the Boston Braves for P Mule Watson and C Hank Gowdy. 1925 – The Cincinnati Reds and Boston Braves turn five double plays each in a 12-inning game for a major league record. 1927: The Chicago Cubs send shortstop Jimmy Cooney and pitcher Tony Kaufmann to the Phillies for P Hal Carlson, who will go 12-8 for the Cubs for the rest of the season. At Yankee Stadium, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig hit back-to-back home runs in the 4th inning, off Tommy Thomas, to beat the Chicago White Sox, 4 – 1, and increase the Yankees’ lead over Chicago to two games. Pat Collins also homers for the Yankees, while Bud Clancy matches for Chicago. At Shibe Park, the St. Louis Browns outhit the Philadelphia Athletics, 18 to 14, but lose, 11 – 9. Both starters, Rube Walberg and Milt Gaston, are knocked out in the 3rd inning, but when Gaston is lifted he bypasses the dugout and leaps into the stands to punch a spectator who has been riding him. The police escort Gaston from the field. Ty Cobb has three runs and a stolen base for the Athletics, while George Sisler has three steals and is 4 for 4 for the Browns. 1931 – With Sunday baseball still prohibited in Philadelphia, the Athletics make a one-day trip to visit the Detroit Tigers. The Athletics win, 12 – 2, and leave 18 men on base. 1932 – Pitcher Jack Quinn, at age 47, becomes the oldest player in major league history to have an extra-base hit (a double) as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs, 9 – 2. Julio Franco will break the record over 70 years later. 1933: Cleveland Indians general manager Billy Evans fires manager Roger Peckinpaugh and hires Walter Johnson to take over. Bibb Falk manages for one game until Johnson arrives. In a slugfest at Shibe Park, the Washington Senators break a 13 – 13 tie by scoring a run in the 10th inning off Philadelphia Athletics reliever Bobby Coombs, nephew of Jack Coombs. The rookie is spared a loss when rain washes out the game in the bottom of the 10th, and the score reverts. Coombs will not pitch again until July 8th when he makes his “official” debut. 1934: Big Jim Weaver pitches a 1 – 0 shutout victory for the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals, topping Bill Hallahan. Weaver, a 25-game winner at Newark in 1933, was sold to the Browns by the Yankees, but the cash-poor Browns returned him to Newark. The Cubs picked him up in mid-May for $12,500. At the Polo Grounds, the New York Giants score six runs in the 8th inning to whip the Boston Braves, 14 – 5. Johnny Vergez collects a home run and a double in the inning, while Mel Ott clouts two home runs and four RBI in the game. 1935 – Behind pitcher Roy Parmelee, the Giants squeeze by the visiting Braves, 3 – 2, in ten innings. Mel Ott hits a home run in the 9th inning to tie the score, and Bill Terry drives in the winning run in the 10th off Ben Cantwell. Giants left fielder Jo-Jo Moore hits in his 11th straight game. 1936 – A home run by George Selkirk in the 16th inning gives Red Ruffing and the New York Yankees a 5 – 4 win over Oral Hildebrand and the Cleveland Indians. Ruffing has three hits, including a homer. Incredibly, there are no strikeouts in the long game. 1938 – At Fenway Park, umpire Bill McGowan, who had tossed Johnny Allen on Opening Day, orders the Cleveland Indians pitcher to cut off part of a shirt sleeve which is dangling as he pitches, distracting the batter. Allen refuses and walks off the mound. He is fined $250 by Cleveland manager Oscar Vitt, who makes a pitching change to avoid a forfeit. Cleveland wins the game, 7 – 5, as team owner Alva Bradley hurries to the Boston Red Sox and buys the shirt for $250. The shirt is then displayed at Higbee’s Department Store – owned by Bradley’s brother, and later makes its way to the Hall of Fame museum in Cooperstown. 1939 – In his first at bat since April 29th, Joe DiMaggio hits a triple to pace the New York Yankees to a 5 – 2 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park. 1964 – Deron Johnson leads the Cincinnati Reds to an 11 – 6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals as he collects a home run, double and three singles. 1966: The New York Mets, picking first in the June amateur draft, pass up Arizona State outfielder Reggie Jackson to select catcher Steve Chilcott. Chilcott will retire after six years in the minors and will be the first number-one pick to never play in the major leagues. The Kansas City Athletics take Jackson with the second pick. Having tied a major league record with four strikeouts in one inning (the 4th), Cardinals ace Bob Gibson runs out of gas in the 8th as the Pirates nick him for 11 hits and five runs in 7+ innings, en route to a 9 – 1 rout. Pirates right fielder Roberto Clemente caps the decisive eight-run rally with a homer. Clemente is also the instigator of the uprising, leading off the 8th with a single, then scoring the tie-breaking run, at a point when the game is still a pitcher’s duel. By the time the inning ends, however, his three-run blast to right field will have furnished the game’s less artistic final score. 1967: The last-place New York Yankees have the first pick in the free-agent draft and use it to take Ron Blomberg. Blomberg will be the first designated hitter in major league history. In the secondary phase, the Orioles select pitcher Mike Adamson, who will leap directly to the big leagues, debuting on July 1st, becoming the first player in draft history to bypass the minors. 1968 – A bid for a no-hitter by the Oakland Athletics’ Blue Moon Odom is spoiled by Davey Johnson, who singles with two outs in the 9th inning. Odom tops Baltimore, 6 – 1. 1969 – The Bucs, behind Steve Blass, beat the Braves, 10 – 2, knocking out Atlanta starter Pat Jarvis in the 3rd inning. Pittsburgh’s offensive load is shared by veteran outfielder Roberto Clemente and rookie catcher Manny Sanguillen, each with a home run and three RBIs. “Sangy” also hits a double and his round-tripper is the first of his major league career. Clemente leads up to his homer with two singles and a triple, scoring three and driving in the final three runs of the game with his 9th-inning, 410-foot blast to dead center. As it passes over the 402-foot mark, centerfielder Mike Lum comes up just short in an attempted circus catch. 1970 – Vic Davalillo of the St. Louis Cardinals, pinch-hitting for Bob Gibson, gets a record-tying two hits in the 7th inning of a 10 – 7 win over the San Diego Padres. St. Louis scores seven runs after San Diego had built a 7 – 1 lead against Gibson. Davalillo assumes he receives credit for two pinch hits, and that his 23rd pinch hit on August 31st ties the record of Dave Philley. Davalillo will finish the year with 24 pinch safeties, but a rule difference between the American League and National League will cost him a pinch hit today. 1973 – The Texas Rangers select high school pitching phenom David Clyde with the first overall pick in the 1973 amateur draft and will bring him straight to the major leagues, a move that will have a detrimental impact on his future. Dave Winfield, picked fourth overall by the San Diego Padres, will also go straight to the major leagues, but with much better results; Winfield was also taken in the NBA and NFL drafts. John Stearns is taken second by the Philadelphia Phillies (and is also picked in the NFL draft), and the Milwaukee Brewers, picking third, take high schooler Robin Yount, who will be their starting shortstop by Opening Day in 1974. 1976 – In a 5 – 4 Pittsburgh Pirates win over the Cincinnati Reds, the two teams combine for seven solo home runs. Joe Morgan (twice) and Pete Rose homer for Cincy, while Al Oliver, Willie Stargell, Richie Zisk and Bill Robinson go deep for the host Pirates. 1977 – The Chicago White Sox select Harold Baines with the number-one pick in the June draft. Chicago’s owner Bill Veeck had first seen Baines play Little League ball and had followed his career ever since. Pitcher Bill Gullickson is taken with the second pick by the Montreal Expos, and the Milwaukee Brewers take University of Minnesota infielder Paul Molitor with the third pick. 1979: Texas Rangers back-up C/1B John Ellis hits two home runs with a double and six RBI to back Ferguson Jenkins and propel the Rangers to a 7 – 1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. John Grubb singles in the 9th inning to extend his hitting streak to 20 games. Charlotte Knights pitcher Mike Boddicker sets a Southern League record with 18 strikeouts in an 8 – 2 win over Knoxville. 1982: Steve Garvey plays in his 1,000th consecutive game. His streak is the fifth longest in major league history. In the annual June draft, the Chicago Cubs select Shawon Dunston with the first pick; Dwight Gooden is the fifth overall, taken by the New York Mets; the Boston Red Sox, with three first round picks, use their first on Sam Horn. The Angels go for a two-sport star, taking Kirk McCaskill, the first college player taken in the 1981 NHL draft. 1983 – Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton overtakes Nolan Ryan as the major leagues’ all-time strikeout leader, fanning six batters in a 2 – 1 loss to St. Louis to bring his career total to 3,526. Ryan strikes out three San Francisco Giants while getting no decision in the Houston Astros’ 4 – 2 win, leaving him with 3,525. 1986 – In the annual June draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates make Jeff King, the Sporting News College Player of the Year, the first choice. Greg Swindell is the next pick, by the Cleveland Indians. Neither will sign for six weeks but Swindell will be in the major leagues after just three starts in the minors. Then, the San Francisco Giants select Matt Williams with the third pick. After being skipped over because scouts are convinced the Heisman Trophy winner is headed to the NFL, Bo Jackson is taken in the fourth round by the Kansas City Royals. 1989 – In front of 45,372 fans at the Skydome, Ernie Whitt has three hits and three RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4 – 2, in the first game ever played indoors and outdoors in the same day. With dark clouds threatening, the roof begins closing in the 5th inning. The closing operation begins at 8:48 p.m. and ends at 9:22 p.m., too late to prevent a brief stoppage of play due to rain. The winning pitcher is John Cerutti and Chris Bosio takes the loss. 1990 – At Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox pitchers Greg Harris and Jeff Reardon combine on a one-hitter, beating the New York Yankees 3 – 0. 1992: Texas Rangers outfielder Juan Gonzalez hits three home runs, including a two-run shot in the 8th inning, against the Minnesota Twins. Texas needs them all winning, 5 – 4. Bobby Witt is the winning pitcher. San Francisco Giants pitcher Trevor Wilson allows just two hits and finishes with a flourish, striking out the side in the 9th inning on nine pitches as the Giants win, 3 – 0 over the Houston Astros. Pepperdine defeats Cal State-Fullerton, 3 – 2, to win the College World Series. 1993 – Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Cal Eldred defeats the Seattle Mariners, 5 – 3, for his seventh win of the year. This gives him 20 victories in his first 30 career appearances in the majors, tying him for the “quickest” 20 wins in major league history alongside Nick Maddox (1908), Russ Ford (1910) and Boo Ferriss (1945). 1994: The Toronto Blue Jays defeat the Chicago White Sox, 9 – 5, stopping Wilson Alvarez’s winning streak at 15 games. Bo Jackson drives home all five of the White Sox runs. Alvarez falls two short of the American League record held jointly by Johnny Allen and Dave McNally. Rickey Henderson of the Oakland Athletics collects his 1,100th career stolen base. 1996: Colorado rips Atlanta ace Greg Maddux for 11 hits and seven runs in 3 1/3 innings on their way to a 21-hit, 19 – 8 victory. In the major leagues’ only scheduled doubleheader this season, the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics split. In the opener, Pat Meares’ two-run home run in the 5th inning gives Minnesota a 4 – 2 win as Oakland outslugs the Twins, 13 – 7, in the nitecap. John Wasdin is helped by a George Williams grand slam in the six-run 5th while Brent Gates, Gerónimo Berroa and Torey Lovullo also homer. All other twin bills this season are the result of make-up games. 1997: On Dog Day (canine attendance 425) at Comiskey Park, it takes the Chicago White Sox 4 hours 19 minutes to finally edge the Baltimore Orioles, 1 – 0, in 11 innings on Harold Baines’ one-out single off Randy Myers. In the College World Series, the second-seeded LSU Tigers jump on top-ranked Alabama, scoring six runs in the 1st inning, and coasting to a 13 – 6 win. It is LSU’s fourth win in seven years. Tigers shortstop Brandon Larson is named the Most Outstanding Player of the Series after hitting .368 with three homers. In the International League, Syracuse and Pawtucket combine for ten hits, eight of which are home runs. The other two are a single and double, as Syracuse wins, 7 – 3. Meanwhile, Toledo outfielder Kimera Bartee collects six stolen bases against Columbus. With the Detroit Tigers last season, Bartee stole 20. 1998: Hall of Famer Eddie Murray has his uniform number 33 retired by the Baltimore Orioles during a ceremony at Camden Yards. Tied with the Rangers at 6 – 6 after seven innings, the Padres erupt for six runs in the 8th inning and five more in the 9th to take a 17 – 8 decision. Steve Finley leads the way for the Padres with five RBI and four hits, including three doubles. David Cone strikes out 14 batters as he hurls a two-hitter to lead the New York Yankees to a 4 – 1 decision over the Florida Marlins. 1999: The Atlanta Braves defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 9 – 5, as pitcher John Smoltz records his 2,000th strikeout. Smoltz becomes the 53rd major league pitcher – and third Brave – to reach that level. In a Chicago interleague match, the hot Cubs pound the White Sox, 13 – 7, as Sammy Sosa and Jose Hernandez each hit three-run home runs and collect five RBI. The Cubs sweep their South Side rivals completing their third consecutive three-game sweep, something the Cubs have not done since 1918. 2000: In interleague play, the Oakland Athletics defeat the San Diego Padres, 10 – 4, as Jason Giambi collects seven runs batted in with a single, double, and two home runs. At Atlanta, Blue Jays rookie pitcher Clayton Andrews hits an apparent single to right field for his first major league hit, but Brian Jordan, playing very shallow, throws him out at first base. Jordan will throw out three runners at first base this year. 2001: The Boston Red Sox lose catcher Jason Varitek for the rest of the season when he breaks his right elbow diving for a pop bunt in a game against the Detroit Tigers. The San Diego Padres pound pitcher Russ Ortiz and beat the San Francisco Giants, 10 – 7, to snap their eight-game losing streak. Cesar Crespo hits his first major league home run for San Diego, while his brother Felipe, playing first base for the Giants in J.T. Snow’s absence, hits a pair of homers. It is the ninth time that brothers on opposing teams have homered in the same game. The last time was when Bret and Aaron Boone did it last year. Meanwhile, San Francisco outfielder Barry Bonds hits his 32nd homer of the season, his 13th in 18 games, and Mike Darr has four hits and four RBI for the Padres. The Chicago Cubs complete a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, winning 4 – 3 and posting their 15th victory in 16 games. Cubs fans haven’t seen that since 1945. Matt Morris pitches a no-hitter into the 7th inning before Matt Stairs’ two-out double opens the door for Chicago. Rondell White’s single in the 10th drives home Sammy Sosa with the winning run. After the victory, the Cubs take a five-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central Division. 2002: Cincinnati obtains 3B/OF Russell Branyan from Cleveland in exchange for minor league 1B Ben Broussard. Tampa Bay Devil Rays minor league pitcher Nick Bierbrodt is shot three times while sitting in a taxi at a fast food drive-in in Charleston, SC. He is listed in serious but stable condition. In a Northern League game with the visiting Gary SouthShore RailCats at Midway Stadium, St. Paul Saints owner Mike Veeck gives away seat cushions that feature the likeness of Commissioner Bud Selig on one side and that of Players Association Executive Director Donald Fehr on the other. During the seventh-inning stretch, an informal poll shows that about 90 percent of the fans on the cushions “were sitting on Bud”. 2006: Yorvit Torrealba of the Colorado Rockies hits a grand slam and has five RBI to help Colorado in the 16 – 9 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With five sacrifice flies in the game, the Rockies also tie a major league record which was set by the Seattle Mariners against the Oakland Athletics on August 7, 1988. Pitcher Jason Grimsley is released by the Arizona Diamondbacks, a day after his home was searched by federal agents following his admission he used human growth hormone, steroids and amphetamines. 2007: In the first amateur draft to be televised nationally, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays take David Price of Vanderbilt University first overall. He is followed by high school star Mike Moustakas by the Kansas City Royals. Curt Schilling pitches a no-hitter for 8 2/3 innings against the A’s before Shannon Stewart snaps his bid at the last minute. 2010: As had been expected for months, the Washington Nationals select catcher Bryce Harper with the first overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft. While only 17, Harper has been playing in junior college for the past two years and has outrageously dominated older competition. The Nationals announce that they plan to move him to the outfield, but expect arduous negotiations with agent Scott Boras. Selecting second, the Pirates take Texas high school pitcher Jameson Taillon. 18-year-old shortstop Manny Machado is the third pick, by the Orioles, in a draft that is skewed towards very young talent. Carlos Silva allows one run to the Pirates over seven innings to improve his record to 8-0. It is the best start to a season by a Cubs pitcher since Ken Holtzman went 9-0 in 1967. Ryan Theriot scores four times for Chicago. Cole Hamels throws six no-hit innings against the Padres, but his slumping Phillies teammates can’t give him any support, being stymied by lefty Wade LeBlanc. In the 7th, Adrian Gonzalez and Scott Hairston hit back-to-back solo homers to open the scoring, and Gonzalez connects again in the 9th for a 3 – 1 win by San Diego. The Brewers swallow hard and release pitcher Jeff Suppan, who has been struggling badly, eating the remaining $8.1 million on his contract, in addition to $2 million to buy out an option for next season. 2011: The Braves only manage two hits against the Marlins, but still eke out a 1 – 0 win in favor of Tommy Hanson. Brad Hand is unlucky in his major league debut as he only allows a 4th-inning solo homer by Alex Gonzalez in six innings, but still gets charged with the loss. On the day he is handed a three-game suspension for losing his cool with an umpire on June 4th, Jonathan Papelbon notches the 200th save of his career in Boston’s 6 – 4 win over the Yankees. He has needed only 259 appearances to reach the milestone, beating Mariano Rivera, who had been fastest, doing it in 382 games. 2012: Michael McKenry breaks Aroldis Chapman’s club-record streak of 24 straight scoreless appearances from the start of the season when he drives in a run with a 10th-inning double against the Cincinnati Reds’ fireballer. Chapman had pitched 29 innings without allowing a run before the Pirates’ back-up catcher gets to him, and he is charged with the 5 – 4 loss. Chapman hadn’t even allowed a hit since May 17th before Clint Barmes and McKenry hit the back-to-back doubles. His teammates commit four errors behind him, but Matt Cain still wins his sixth straight start, disposing of the Padres, 8 – 3. The Giants do atone themselves with three homers, by Angel Pagan, Buster Posey and Gregor Blanco, and Ryan Theriot’s four-hit performance. Cain is now 7-2 and the Giants have won nine of their last 11. 2013: Another day, another standout performance by Yasiel Puig, the Dodgers’ young Cuban outfielder, who has had a memorable first week in the Show. Puig hits his fourth homer in five games in the 5th, as Los Angeles wins against the Braves, 2 – 1, when pinch-runner Skip Schumaker scores on Anthony Varvaro’s wild pitch in the 10th. Indians closer Chris Perez and his wife Melanie are charged with possession after police discover marijuana in suspicious packages mailed to the couple’s house. When asked by police, Perez leads them to his personal stash, stored in a couple of Mason jars in the house’s basement. Perez is expected to be given a fine by judicial authorities and ordered to undergo a treatment program by Major League Baseball. 2014 – With the issue of a draft pick compensation out of the way, the lone remaining free agent from the last off-season, 1B Kendrys Morales, finally finds a team. He signs a one-year deal with the Twins, pending passing a physical exam, for $12 million, pro-rated to $7.6 million given a good chunk of the season has elapsed. 2022 – After losing 12 straight games, negating a good start, the Angels fire manager Joe Maddon and replace him with coach Phil Nevin. Maddon is the second World Series-winning manager to be fired in less than a week, following Joe Girardi who was let go by the Phillies. The Angels lose again tonight, 6 – 5, to the Red Sox to tie the franchise record for consecutive losses at 13. 2023 – A rash of forest fires in eastern Canada causes poor air quality throughout the Northeast, and forces the cancellation of two major league games, in New York, NY and Philadelphia, PA. In Toronto, ON, which is closest to the blazes, the Blue Jays play indoors with the Rogers Centre’s roof closed to preserve air quality.
