MLB ROUNDUP: ROYALS’ NOAH CAMERON (1 HIT) DAZZLES IN 1ST COMPLETE GAME
Noah Cameron tossed a one-hitter and Michael Massey and Bobby Witt Jr. each homered to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.
Cameron (7-8), making his first career appearance at Angel Stadium, threw five perfect innings before issuing a leadoff walk to Oswald Peraza in the sixth and didn’t allow a hit until Vaughn Grissom blooped a single into shallow left-center with one out in the seventh.
After allowing one hit over eight shutout innings in a start against the Minnesota Twins on July 30, Cameron walked one and struck out eight, including Mike Trout to end the game. He threw 115 pitches, 73 for strikes, en route to his first career complete game.
Massey finished 3-for-4 at the plate for Kansas City, which won its first road series since June 4-7 at Minnesota. Ryan Johnson (2-7) took the loss for the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3 (10 innings)
Ben Rice clubbed a two-run home run in the 10th inning and visiting New York defeated Toronto to salvage the finale of a three-game set.
Rice, whose error led to Toronto’s tying run in the ninth, took a 2-0 slider from Braydon Fisher (3-4) to right for his 33rd homer. Rice was 0-for-12 in the series before his 10th-inning homer. Ryan Weathers limited the Blue Jays to one run and six hits over 7 1/3 innings.
Andres Gimenez flared an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th against Tim Hill, who earned his second save. Dylan Cease struck out 10 in 6 1/3 innings and Daz Cameron had an RBI double for the Blue Jays.
Mets 4, Nationals 3
Luis Torrens hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fourth inning, and host New York continued its post-trade deadline hot streak by closing out a three-game sweep of Washington.
Torrens’ homer capped a three-run fourth for the Mets, who have won nine of 12, while Jared Young added pivotal insurance with a fifth-inning RBI double. Young finished 2-for-4 while Bo Bichette was 3-for-3 with a walk.
Abimelec Ortiz hit a solo homer in the third and Keibert Ruiz collected two run-scoring singles for the Nationals.
Orioles 10, Rays 2
Colton Cowser, Jackson Holliday and Christian Encarnacion-Strand drove in all seven runs in an explosive sixth inning as Baltimore won its third straight contest against American League East-leading Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Holliday went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and a walk, while Cowser had two hits and popped a two-run homer. Encarnacion-Strand had a double and three RBIs. Trevor Rogers (8-8) fired six innings of two-run ball on seven hits. He fanned six with a walk.
The Rays’ Ryan Vilade was 3-for-4 with a double and a homer, and Chandler Simpson doubled and singled to combine for five of the club’s nine hits. Freddy Peralta (5-10) allowed two runs on one hit in 4 2/3 innings.
Braves 5, Diamondbacks 3
Matt Olson’s tiebreaking three-run home run in the seventh inning was the difference as Atlanta defeated visiting Arizona to salvage the finale of their three-game series.
Olson crushed a 3-0 sinker from reliever Brandyn Garcia 437 feet to straightaway center to snap a 2-2 deadlock. It was his 36th home run and major league-leading 66th extra-base hit.
The Diamondbacks got solo home runs from Gabriel Moreno in the fourth and Ildemaro Vargas in the seventh. Vargas was in the game for third baseman Nolan Arenado, who left in the fourth with trunk discomfort.
Marlins 7, Reds 1
Miami scored seven times over the final two innings to take the rubber match of a three-game series against host Cincinnati.
Starter Eury Perez went six frames for the Marlins, limiting Cincinnati to two hits while walking five and fanning five. Josh Ekness (1-1) retired the Reds in order in the seventh to earn the win, Miami’s sixth in its last eight games.
Reds starter Nick Lodolo held Miami scoreless on three hits and two walks and struck out a pair in five innings. Tyler Stephenson accounted for the Reds’ only run, and only base hit, with an eighth-inning homer.
Pirates 8, Red Sox 3
Nick Yorke had three RBIs in his first game since being recalled from the minor leagues, while Bryan Reynolds and Brandon Lowe each drove in two to help host Pittsburgh secure a series victory over Boston.
Yorke was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday and played in his first major league game in exactly three months. The former Red Sox prospect hit a two-run single off Boston starter Patrick Sandoval (1-2) to highlight a five-run third inning for Pittsburgh.
Connor Wong, who finished with two hits, gave the Red Sox hope when he belted a three-run home run off Pirates reliever Hunter Barco in the fifth inning.
Padres 5, Guardians 0
Luis Rengifo and Gavin Sheets hit back-to-back home runs and Casey Mize tossed six strong innings as visiting San Diego defeated Cleveland in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Jase Bowen and Jake Cronenworth also slugged solo homers for the Padres, who claimed their third straight series victory and won for the 17th time in their last 22 games. Mize (5-7) allowed three hits before Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon and Yuki Matsui each pitched a hit-free inning to seal the Padres’ ninth shutout of the season.
Jose Ramirez had two of the Guardians’ three hits. Tanner Bibee (4-13) allowed three runs on seven hits over six innings. The Guardians have lost six of their last eight games and 17 of their last 23. Cleveland right fielder Chase DeLauter exited the game in the third inning with mild left hamstring tightness.
Phillies 7, Twins 5
Bryan De La Cruz hit a two-out, two-run, go-ahead single in the eighth inning, and Philadelphia rallied for a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Alec Bohm went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs for the Phillies, who completed a three-game sweep. Luis Arraez also drove in a run. Philadelphia trailed 5-0 before scoring seven unanswered runs for the comeback victory.
Brooks Lee hit a grand slam to lead Minnesota at the plate. Kody Clemens finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run.
White Sox 7, Tigers 5
Munetaka Murakami hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning as visiting Chicago extended its lead over Detroit in the AL Central to 5 1/2 games.
Drew Romo and Miguel Vargas also homered for the White Sox, who swept a three-game series in Detroit for the first time since 2022. Hagen Smith (2-0) tossed 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to collect the victory. Sean Newcomb did not allow a hit in 2 1/3 innings of relief for his fourth save.
Colt Keith had two hits, including a solo home run, and scored twice for the Tigers. Brett Callahan, called up from Triple-A Toledo earlier in the day, had a two-run triple in his major league debut. Detroit starter Drew Anderson gave up three runs and four hits in five innings.
Rockies 13, Giants 7
Adael Amador and Brett Sullivan, the bottom two hitters in the batting order, smacked three-run home runs and visiting Colorado won the season series over San Francisco with a victory.
The Rockies took advantage of 10 walks to complete the series with a 7-6 edge against their National League West rivals. The Giants led 7-6 before Colorado scored seven unanswered runs, while four Rockies relievers combined for five innings of shutout ball. Nick Frasso (1-1), who pitched a scoreless fifth, was credited with his first career win.
Amador and Jordan Beck scored three runs apiece, and Moniak joined Amador and Sullivan with three RBIs apiece for the Rockies. Rafael Devers homered, doubled and scored twice for the Giants.
Athletics 5, Rangers 2
Zack Gelof’s tiebreaking two-run home run in the seventh inning lifted the host Athletics past playoff contender Texas in the rubber game of their series in West Sacramento, Calif.
The 403-foot opposite-field shot to right field off Jakob Junis (1-2) was Gelof’s 14th homer of the season and third in the past week. Tommy White provided an insurance run in the eighth with his first major league homer. Lawrence Butler hit a two-run homer for the A’s in the second.
Jake Burger hit a solo homer in the second and drove in both Texas runs as part of a 3-for-4 day.
Brewers 6, Dodgers 2
Jake Bauers delivered a pair of RBI hits, Logan Henderson went seven strong innings and visiting Milwaukee completed a statement series with victory over Los Angeles.
Bauers had four hits after driving in the game-winning run in the series opener Thursday as the Brewers won three of the four games over the weekend and also took the season series against the Dodgers 4-3. Henderson (7-2) rebounded from a loss Monday to give up one run on three hits with six strikeouts as Milwaukee opened a three-game lead over Los Angeles for the best record in the majors.
Max Muncy and Andy Pages hit home runs and Tarik Skubal (7-7) gave up two runs (one earned) over six innings in his third start for the Dodgers. The most coveted prize at the trade deadline earlier this month is 0-2 with a 3.18 ERA over 17 innings since making his debut with Los Angeles on Aug. 4.
Cardinals 11, Cubs 4
Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker both had three hits, a home run and four RBIs to help visiting St. Louis breeze past Chicago to win its fourth game in five tries and clinch its fourth straight series victory.
JJ Wetherholt, Blaze Jordan and Ivan Herrera drove in a run apiece for the Cardinals, who posted 19 runs across the final two games of the series. Hunter Dobbins (3-3) went five innings for St. Louis, allowing two runs on two hits, striking out seven and walking four.
Making his first major league appearance since June 23 due to a left hamstring strain, Edward Cabrera (5-5) lasted just 3 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs on six hits while walking three and striking out two. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who dropped their first series since July 31-Aug. 2. Miguel Amaya also homered in the loss.
Mariners 3, Astros 2
Cal Raleigh homered for the first time in two weeks and Bryan Woo produced a rare quality start on the road as visiting Seattle held on for a victory over Houston in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Raleigh delivered the deciding blast in the top of the sixth inning when he popped a solo homer with two outs off Astros reliever Bennett Sousa. Randy Arozarena also homered for Seattle, providing Woo (9-8) the run support he needed as he allowed two runs on three hits over six innings. Andres Munoz recorded his 22nd save with a scoreless ninth.
Jeremy Pena and Nick Allen hit solo homers for the Astros, who loaded the bases in the eighth down one run but saw Daulton Varsho strike out to end the threat. Houston right-hander Hunter Brown (3-3) labored throughout his five-inning stint, walking five and allowing three hits and two runs.

TOMMY JOHN, NAMESAKE FOR A PIONEERING ELBOW SURGERY THAT SAVED HIS CAREER, DEAD AT 83
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tommy John, who won 288 games during a 26-year big league career and became the first pitcher to successfully return following groundbreaking elbow surgery that later was named after him, has died. He was 83.
He died at his home in Bradenton, Florida, on Saturday night, agent Mike Maguire said Sunday. He had been in hospice care.
On Aug. 8, the New York Yankees released a social media post in which John wrote that he wanted to say goodbye to everyone, including friends and fans who followed him throughout his career, saying, “I will never forget you.”
The Yankees called John “a bedrock of our rotation during his time in pinstripes and a longtime favorite of Yankees fans.”
John was a four-time All-Star with a record of 288-231 and a 3.34 ERA during a career that stretched from 1963 to 1989. He pitched for Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Yankees, the California Angels and the Oakland Athletics.
“Tommy was an exceptional pitcher throughout his career in Major League Baseball, and his courageous role in becoming the first to have surgery that would go on to bear his name can’t be overstated,” Stan Kasten, Dodgers president and CEO, said in a statement. “His impact both on and off the field has been felt by ballplayers of all ages and will be for generations to come.”
The left-hander was 31 years old when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow in 1974, a death knell for pitchers’ careers to that point.
John allowed Dr. Frank Jobe, the Dodgers’ team physician, to replace the ligament with a tendon from his right forearm. Jobe gave the surgery 100-to-1 odds of being successful.
John was a great pitcher, but his elbow surgery made him a baseball legend
The procedure had been done on others before, although it was usually performed on wrists and hands. John was the first pitcher to have it done on his elbow.
More than 2,600 big leaguers and thousands more amateurs have since had UCL reconstructions, better known as Tommy John surgery. It’s been a godsend for many of baseball’s greatest stars, including two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani, three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander and even Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper.
“If you put it in dollars and cents, I think there’s no question that Tommy John is the most valuable reconstructive procedure there is,” Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache told The Associated Press in 2024.
Born Thomas Edward John Jr. on May 22, 1943, in Terre Haute, Indiana, he was a top baseball and basketball player at the city’s Gerstmeyer High. He graduated in 1961 as valedictorian but did not give the commencement speech because of a stutter. Despite being recruited by the University of Kentucky to play basketball, John chose baseball and signed with Cleveland.
“The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, ‘Good luck, Tommy. Just remember one thing: whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don’t, you’ll always just be Tommy John from Terre Haute, Indiana.’ I’ve never forgotten those words,” John wrote in his Aug. 8 post.
John recorded 2,245 strikeouts but never led either league in wins or strikeouts. He had the second-most wins of any pitcher since 1900 not to be elected to the Hall of Fame. From 1995 through 2009, John was on the Hall of Fame ballot, but he never received more than 31.7% of the votes, falling well short of the 75% required for election.
“Tommy was a wonderful person who competed to the utmost and did what no player had ever done to save his career, in conjunction with the esteemed Dr. Frank Jobe,” former Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti posted on X. “The HOF is missing Tommy John.”
John won more games after his eponymous surgery
Known for his longevity, John was the opening day starter for both the 1966 Chicago White Sox and the 1989 New York Yankees. He won 124 games before his UCL repair and 164 after. His final appearance came days after his 46th birthday.
“While his incredible longevity and post-surgery achievements changed the fortunes and trajectory of countless athletes around the world, it also overshadowed his excellence as a pitcher,” the Yankees said in a statement. “We pause to remember the totality of his legacy — his competitiveness and skill, his penchant for conversation, his kind and gracious nature, and his stature as an athletic and medical pioneer.”
John made his major league debut on Sept. 6, 1963, pitching one inning in relief for Cleveland.
He was traded to the White Sox in 1965 and worked his way into the starting rotation. The following year, he tied for the American League lead with five shutouts and in 1967, his six shutouts led the AL.
In 1971, he was traded to the Dodgers.
In 1974, John had a 13-3 record and led the National League in victories going into the All-Star break. He was pitching against the Montreal Expos when he permanently damaged the UCL in his left arm. After a month, the injury had not improved.
During the four-hour surgery on Sept. 25, 1974, Jobe made holes in the humerus and ulna bones of John’s left arm and used anchors to insert the tendon in a figure-eight pattern.
At first, John’s left hand was shriveled and he lacked feeling in several of his fingers because of damage to the ulnar nerve. Jobe performed a second procedure to reroute the nerve that was necessary to John’s full recovery.
John’s arm was in a cast for four months. He had recovered the full range of motion in his left arm by spring training of 1975 and spent that season resting, healing and rebuilding strength in his arm. John worked with fellow Dodgers pitcher Mike Marshall, who had a doctorate in kinesiology, on learning a different grip.
That September he made five appearances during an offseason instructional league, working his way up to seven innings by his final game.
John resumed pitching for the Dodgers in 1976 as the fourth starter in their rotation. He allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss in his first start against Atlanta, the first time any pitcher had started a game following UCL reconstructive surgery.
John donated the original cast from his surgery to the Smithsonian Institution in June 2022. His teammates on the 1974 Dodgers signed it, as well as Jobe and the team’s Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully.
The procedure has become so widely known that in 2019, Merriam-Webster added the term to its dictionary.
John made 31 starts for the Dodgers in 1976, posting a 10-10 record, a 3.09 ERA, 91 strikeouts, 61 walks and 207 hits allowed in 207 innings.
In 1977, he won 20 games for the first time in his career, finishing with a 20-7 record. He finished second behind Philadelphia’s Steve Carlton in voting for the NL Cy Young Award.
John and his family had mixed feelings about the legacy of his operation
Over 50 years later, Tommy John surgery is as much a part of baseball as peanuts and hot dogs. Advanced training methods are helping pitchers of all ages throw harder than ever. They take comfort knowing a torn UCL won’t necessarily end their careers.
“I am sick my name is attached to a surgery happening in kids more than pros,” John tweeted in July 2018.
John’s oldest son, Tommy III, became a chiropractor who wrote a book suggesting ways to prevent young athletes from having to undergo major sports-related surgery similar to what his father endured.
After his pitching career ended, John worked as a broadcaster for the Minnesota Twins and Yankees in the 1990s. He managed the Bridgeport (Connecticut) Bluefish from 2007-09.
John was hospitalized in December 2020 because of COVID-19 and later had Guillain-Barré syndrome, in which a person’s immune system attacks their nerves. John told the New York Post in May 2022 that he was paralyzed in his lower extremities for several months.
John and his wife Sally Simmons had four children: Tamara, Tommy III, Travis and Taylor, who died of a prescription drug overdose at 28 in 2010. The couple divorced in 2013.
Besides his children, he is survived by his second wife, Cheryl, and son-in-law Patrick Mannelly, a retired NFL long snapper who played 16 years for the Chicago Bears.

COMMANDERS QB MARCUS MARIOTA HAS A SPRAINED MCL IN HIS RIGHT KNEE
Washington Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Sunday.
Mariota, 32, will miss the remainder of the preseason, but Quinn is “optimistic that he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season.”
Mariota was injured during Washington’s preseason opener against Miami on Friday night. Starter Jayden Daniels did not play against the Dolphins.
Quinn said the Commanders don’t plan on bringing in another quarterback at this time. The only other QBs on the roster are Sam Hartman and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis.
“It will allow more reps over the next couple of weeks with Sam (Hartman) and Athan (Kaliakmanis) in that spot,” Quinn said.
Quinn said Mariota’s injury has impacted his thinking for how much Daniels and other starters will play for the remainder of the preseason, but he has yet to make any decisions. He plans to re-evaluate after two straight days of padded practice on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“I’ve got a bunch of situations that I’m trying to work through — two minutes, four minutes, some goal-line stuff,” Quinn said.
“This is our most heightened training camp block coming up, so I’m excited to see that. We haven’t gotten to the planning of the game yet.”
The Commanders’ next preseason game is on Saturday against the Lions before concluding the preseason on Friday, Aug. 28 against the Ravens.
Washington did receive promising news elsewhere on the injury front, as starting center Nick Allegretti and tight end John Bates are expected to return to practice on Tuesday. Cornerback Trey Amos remains out with an ankle injury, while running back Jeremy McNichols will miss a few weeks with a quad injury, according to Quinn.

LIONS WIDE RECEIVER GROUP LOOKS TO SHOW IT’S ONE OF THE LEAGUE’S BEST
ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) — There’s no doubt in Isaac TeSlaa’s mind where the Detroit Lions wide receiver group ranks among its peers.
“I think we’re the best in the league,” TeSlaa said.
The second-year wideout has good reason to feel that way. Amon-Ra St Brown is a two-time first-team All-Pro. Jameson Williams has surpassed 1,000 yards receiving the past two seasons. TeSlaa, a third-round draft pick in 2025, had six touchdowns receptions in his rookie season.
“Obviously, J-Mo and ‘Saint’ are proven veteran guys who’ve gone out there every single Sunday and made plays,” TeSlaa said. “I’ve been trying to make my name. The three of us together, it’s going to be hard to stop all of us.”
Given enough time in the pocket, quarterback Jared Goff will usually get the ball in their hands. Goff has averaged 32.5 touchdown passes over the past four seasons and thrown for at least 4,400 yards each season.
St. Brown has averaged 117 receptions over the past three seasons and has sparkled throughout training camp.
“It’s mind-blowing,” TeSlaa said of St. Brown. “Sometimes I’m just like, ‘That’s stupid. You should not be able to do that.’ He’s just incredibly talented and catches everything.”
Williams is one of the league’s best at stretching the defense. He’s averaged 17 yards per catch during his career.
“With his ability, man, the sky’s the limit,” coach Dan Campbell said. “And, that’s what you’re starting to see. That began to happen (last season) and it became much more consistent. And, then Goff, his confidence goes way up, and now he can let the ball loose a little bit sooner. And so, look, (Williams) is going to have a big year for us. All those skill guys are going to have a big year for us.”
Former Arizona receiver Greg Dortch was signed to a one-year contract this offseason to provide depth and will also be a factor as a returner. There’s fierce competition among the seven other receivers on the camp roster for an opening day roster spot.
“That room right now is interesting,” Campbell said.
Campbell ‘not surprised’ by Seahawks agreement with Arnold
The Lions released starting cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is facing eight felony charges, on June 29. Arnold still drew interest around the league before reaching an agreement this week with defending Super Bowl champion Seattle.
Campbell wasn’t surprised by the news.
“Every team is going to do their due diligence, just like we would if we were in their seat — Seattle or New York or whoever,” he said. “We would have done the same thing. ‘Let’s see if we can find out whatever we can.’ He’s a good kid, he’s got ability, you’ve seen him on tape. So no, I’m not surprised by that. I have no ill will whatsoever toward Terrion. I wish him the best. And I wish everything and everyone the best in that whole situation.”
Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in late June after the Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
In June, prosecutors in Florida said Arnold arranged for the men to be pistol-whipped after he wrongly suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him. Police called him the “primary conspirator” in the Feb. 4 attack, and a judge set his bail at $1 million.
Defense attorney R. Timothy Jansen said in Hillsborough County court earlier this summer that Arnold is “absolutely denying these allegations.” Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management, an agency that represents Arnold, said there’s “no credible evidence” against him, only accounts from others who may have an incentive to get a lighter sentence.
“He’s a good dude,” Campbell said. “It’s unfortunate. The whole thing is unfortunate. It really is.”

REPORT: CARDINALS ROOKIE RB JEREMIYAH LOVE SIDELINED WITH ANKLE SPRAIN
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to miss the rest of the preseason with a high ankle sprain, ESPN reported on Sunday.
The Cardinals are hopeful that Love will be available for their regular-season opener at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 13, per the report.
After Arizona coach Mike LaFleur said following the Cardinals’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday that he didn’t expect Love to be sidelined for an extended time, he changed his tune Saturday, telling reporters that Love would be sidelined from practice this week.
The injury occurred in the second quarter in Arizona’s second preseason game. Love, the third overall pick in April’s draft, carried the ball 11 times for 58 yards against the Raiders before sustaining the injury. He didn’t play in the Hall of Fame game preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers.
Love, 21, finished third in Heisman Trophy voting last season, when he ran for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns. He finished his Notre Dame career with 2,882 rushing yards, 594 receiving yards and 42 touchdowns (36 rushing, six receiving) over 41 games for the Fighting Irish.
With Love, James Connor (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) all dealing with injuries, Arizona signed running back Tre Stewart on Sunday.

COWBOYS SIGN 8-TIME PRO BOWL LB VON MILLER
Eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller is set to play his 15th NFL season back in his home state after signing with the Dallas Cowboys.
Miller confirmed the news (first reported by ESPN) on his Instagram account, posting a picture of himself in a Cowboys uniform with the caption, “Hereee Weee Gooo @dallascowboys LFG!!!”
The Cowboys later announced the signing. Terms were not disclosed.
Miller is a native of Texas who played collegiately at Texas A&M. He elected free agency in March after one season with the Washington Commanders. He’s now set to play for his third team in as many seasons.
The 37-year-old edge rusher ranks first among active players in career sacks (138.5), tied for ninth in NFL history. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft has had at least six sacks in all but two of his seasons and has earned eight All-Pro honors, but hasn’t done so or made a Pro Bowl since 2019.Sports news
The two-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl 50 MVP has also amassed 607 tackles, 271 quarterback hits, 177 tackles for loss, 27 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and two interceptions over 203 games (164 starts) for the Denver Broncos (2011-2021), Los Angeles Rams (2021), Buffalo Bills (2022-24) and Commanders.
He joins a Cowboys team looking to snap a two-year playoff drought and a defense that tied for 22nd in the NFL in sacks in 2025 (35) after shipping Micah Parsons off to Green Bay last August.

REPORTS: VIKINGS DEFENDER JAMAL ADAMS OUT FOR SEASON WITH KNEE INJURY
Minnesota Vikings defender Jamal Adams will miss the entire 2026 season due to a right knee injury sustained in the team’s first preseason game against the New York Giants on Saturday, according to reports by ESPN and NFL Network.
Adams, 30, appeared to sustain the injury during a touchdown play early in the second quarter, when Jaxson Dart connected with Malachi Fields for a 15-yard pass. Adams stumbled while defending receiver Calvin Austin III and stayed on the turf. Adams then entered the medical tent and a cart was brought to take him to the locker room for further evaluation.
While the Vikings haven’t yet commented on Adams’ status, Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell said after the preseason game that he was “crushed” for Adams and that the team would miss him.
Adams signed with the Vikings on July 27 as a linebacker, but he also has played safety since joining the team.
A former first-round pick (sixth overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft, Adams made the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons from 2018-20, earning a first-team All-Pro honor in 2019.
He’s made 546 tackles, 55 tackles for loss, 22.5 sacks, four interceptions, eight forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 102 games (87 starts) for the New York Jets (2017-19), Seattle Seahawks (2020-23), Tennessee Titans (2024), Detroit Lions (2024) and Las Vegas Raiders (2025)
After injuries limited him to 15 total games over the 2022-24 seasons, Adams played 17 games (four starts) last season for the Raiders.

SEVEN MONTHS AFTER KNEE INJURY, BEARS ACTIVATE OT OZZY TRAPILO
The Chicago Bears have taken tackle Ozzy Trapilo off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, clearing Trapilo to return to practice on Sunday, just seven months after he suffered a ruptured patellar tendon.
The knee injury — which was expected to sideline Trapilo for some if not all of the 2026 NFL season — was sustained in the Bears’ 31-27 wild-card win over the Green Bay Packers in January.
A six-game starter who appeared in 14 games overall as a rookie out of Boston College, Trapilo came on late in the season before sustaining the injury.
Earlier this offseason, the Bears’ front office had expressed doubt over the young player’s availability at all in 2026. Instead, his activation shows a recovery ahead of schedule and could allow Trapilo to work his way back over the course of the rest of training camp.Football news
The Bears have yet to settle on a starting option at left tackle. Braxton Jones might be the current favorite for the role, though he is dealing with his own knee issues, suffered two weeks ago.
Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills platooned at the spot in the Bears’ preseason opener vs. the Cleveland Browns, with neither standing out.

ENGLAND’S JACK WHALEY STORMS BACK TO WIN US AMATEUR
Nothing was keeping Jack Whaley from the U.S. Amateur Championship. Not weather, not a 2-hole deficit heading into the final session — not even a wasp sting that left his ankle throbbing.
The 22-year-old native of Doncaster, England and rising senior at Florida State stormed back through less-than-ideal conditions to beat Jay Leng Jr. 4 and 3 in the 36-hole final at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., on Sunday, becoming the third Englishman to win the event and the first since Matt Fitzpatrick in 2013.
Playing with his dad and biggest supporter, Andy, on his bag, Whaley went from up 2 through the first eight holes to down 2 at the lunch break as Leng, a 20-year-old junior at Stanford, caught fire on the back nine. Both players bogeyed the par-5 18th hole to conclude a round played through rain and plenty of wind.
Whaley came out of the break, however, gaining four shots over the first five holes — despite the wasp sting on the fourth fairway that left him in pain the next two holes. The golfers each won, lost and halved a pair of holes over the next six before Whaley parred the 30th hole for a three-hole lead then sank a birdie putt to win it on the 33rd hole of the championship.
Along with the Havemeyer Trophy, Whaley won exemptions into the 2027 US Open at Pebble Beach, the 2027 Open Championship at St. Andrews, and the 2027 Masters. He will also compete for Great Britain in September at the Walker Cup — a Ryder Cup-style event involving amateurs from the United States against amateurs from Great Britain and Ireland.
Whaley joins the likes of some of golf’s greatest legends in winning the US Amateur, including Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
“As we were driving back, I was looking at my dad with some of the names that are on this thing,” Whaley said after his win. “I never thought my name would (be) among such impressive people.”

STEWART CINK BEATS MIGUEL ANGEL JIMENEZ TO WIN BOEING IN PLAYOFF
Stewart Cink birdied the first playoff hole to defeat Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez and win the Boeing Classic on Sunday in Snoqualmie, Wash.
Cink started the day four off the pace and rallied with a 7-under-par 65 to finish 12-under 204 for the event. Jimenez did him one better with a 64, but when they replayed the par-5 18th hole at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, Jimenez placed his third shot in a greenside bunker, giving Cink the upper hand to win with a close-range birdie putt.
It marked Cink’s fifth win of the season, which leads the PGA Tour Champions, and his ninth on the senior circuit in less than a three-year span. And he strengthened his hold on the season-long Charles Schwab Cup points lead.
“You know, it’s really a good feeling to be able to have one good round and that be enough to remain in contention when I was kind of sloppy the first couple days,” Cink said. “I don’t want to harp on that because I still ended up winning and I’m proud of that. I work hard to be in this position, but today I’m really proud.”
Cink, 53, also prevailed after placing second here a year ago, falling to Australia’s Steve Allan by a single stroke.
“Last year actually really stung because I felt like I played well enough to win,” the one-time major winner said. “I didn’t play that well on Sunday, and from where I drove it on 18, just didn’t take advantage of really being in a strong position to make a birdie and win, or tie at least, get into a playoff. So, I felt like I had a little bit of a score to settle in my heart coming in here, to be honest.”
He made up for that shortcoming this year after Jimenez finished his round ahead of Cink by firing a white-hot, 8-under-par 28. His midrange birdie putt at No. 18 broke a tie with Cink and put him alone in the lead at 12 under.
Cink was not far behind. He converted a short birdie putt on the par-3 17th to reach 12 under. He had a birdie look on No. 18 to win outright but left it just high.
Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen (68) was third at 11 under. New Zealand’s Steven Alker began the day with a narrow lead but only managed a 1-under 71 and tied for fourth at 10 under alongside Ernie Els of South Africa (64), David Toms (66), George McNeill (67), Fred Couples (67), Jerry Kelly (68) and Steve Flesch (69).

RORY MCILROY: ‘SO FAR AWAY FROM WHERE I NEED TO BE’ IN RETURN AT ST. JUDE
Rory McIlroy left the FedEx St. Jude Championship with his place in the next round of the playoffs secure, but with considerably less confidence in his golf swing.
The World No. 2 finished 66th out of 68 golfers at 8 over par after closing with a 2-over 72 on Sunday at TPC Southwind in Memphis. McIlroy posted rounds of 74, 70, 72 and 72 and never broke par during his first competitive appearance since the Open Championship nearly a month ago.
McIlroy admitted his limited preparation caught up with him as the tournament progressed.
“Almost felt like the more the week went on, the more I felt lost with my golf swing a little bit,” McIlroy said. “… I guess nice to shake the rust off a little bit, but I’m going to have to work pretty hard between now and next Thursday to feel like I have any sort of golf game to compete next week.”
There were at least some encouraging signs late Sunday. McIlroy made five birdies over his final 10 holes after a poor start to the round, but that closing stretch also included bogeys on Nos. 17 and 18 and did little to alter his assessment of where his game stands heading into the BMW Championship.
McIlroy particularly struggled from tee to green during the week, with his normally powerful driving among the biggest problems. He said working on mechanics eventually caused him to become too focused on the swing itself rather than the shot he was trying to hit.
He plans to return home and work with swing coach Michael Bannon and caddie Harry Diamond before heading Tuesday to Bellerive Country Club outside St. Louis. McIlroy has played the course competitively once, tying for 50th at the 2018 PGA Championship.
“I’m just so far away from where I need to be to even feel like I have a chance,” McIlroy said. “I’ve just got to keep working and hope it turns around a little bit.”
The poor week dropped McIlroy only one spot to 13th in the FedEx Cup standings, comfortably putting him among the 50 players advancing to the BMW Championship. The field will then be trimmed to 30 for the season-ending Tour Championship.
McIlroy is seeking a record-extending fourth FedEx Cup championship and his first since 2022.

JEENO THITIKUL WINS IN PORTLAND AS THAI GOLFERS TAKE TOP 3 SPOTS
Jeeno Thitikul closed with an 8-under-par 64 on Sunday to capture the Standard Portland Classic by one stroke at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Ore.
The World No. 2 finished at 22-under 266, edging fellow Thais Chanettee Wannasaen and Arpichaya Yubol, who shared second at 21 under. Thitikul began the final round two strokes behind Yubol and Sophia Schubert before charging to her third LPGA victory of the season and 10th of her career.
“It’s mean a lot. I would say every win it’s mean a lot to the sacrifice that we put in, the work that we put in,” Thitikul said after the victory. “… (I’ve) had a time that I have a doubt, like, ‘What is going on in my games?,’ and then when you get it you’re just like, ‘Wow, this is what you’re waiting for.’”
Thitikul wasted little time erasing the deficit. She birdied six of her first seven holes, including five in succession from Nos. 3-7, to surge to the top of the leaderboard.
Her first setback came with a bogey at No. 9, but she responded immediately at the par-5 10th, rolling in a 25-foot eagle putt to regain a one-shot lead.
Another bogey at the par-5 12th briefly slowed Thitikul but a birdie at No. 14 kept her in front. She saved par at the 16th and then curled in a birdie putt at No. 17 to take the lead for good.
She secured the victory with a two-putt par from off the 18th green.
Thitikul took pride in the growing presence of Thai players near the top of LPGA leaderboards, with Wannasaen and Yubol joining her in an all-Thailand top three on Sunday and Pajaree Anannarukarn also tying for fifth.
“Yeah, like we have a lot, a lot of talented players, and then I definitely believe that we can be on the top of the leaderboard,” she said. “Not just me, but all the Thai players that we got out here. It just matter of the time, and that I just really want to inspire the next generation of Thai as well.”
Wannasaen applied pressure throughout, posting the lowest round of the day by making nine birdies without a bogey for a 63. The 2023 Portland champion pulled even with Thitikul by birdieing the 17th but could not add another at the last.
Wannasaen was disappointed not to have earned the victory, but, like Thitikul, she was encouraged by the performance of her countrywomen.
“I say feel good. Because actually we, you know, like Thai people really close. We like to talk, like to hang out together,” Wannasaen said. “I’m really happy when I see them play good. Like, you know, because I know like they went through — like sometime they feel like burnout, same exactly (as) me, but we keep going, keep going.”
Yubol, seeking her first LPGA Tour title, remained in contention after entering Sunday tied for the lead. She made four birdies over her first seven holes and closed with birdies at Nos. 17 and 18 around a lone bogey at the 12th for a 67 and a share of second.
Schubert, the other 54-hole co-leader, managed a 1-under 71 and finished alone in fourth at 17 under.
France’s Celine Boutier (66), Anannarukarn (67) and South Korea’s Narin An (69) tied for fifth at 16 under, while Rose Zhang (68) shared eighth at 15 under with Suvichaya Vinijchaitham (66).
Thitikul added the Portland title to victories earlier this season at Honda LPGA Thailand and the Mizuho Americas Open.

SUNGJAE IM PLAYS WAY INTO FEDEX CUP TOP 50; JORDAN SPIETH KNOCKED OUT
Despite holding a share of the lead after the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Thursday, Jordan Spieth didn’t have enough in the tank this weekend to push himself into the top 50 of the FedEx Cup points race.
Instead, Sungjae Im of South Korea was the only golfer to play his way into the second leg of the PGA Tour’s three-week playoffs.
Despite a disappointing final-round 74 that took him out of contention for the victory Sunday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Im tied for fifth (7 under par) and that was more than enough to boost him from 53rd in points to 40th. Only the top 50 players in the chase move on to the BMW Championship.
The one player to give up his spot was Keith Mitchell, who entered the week 49th overall, tied for 34th at the St. Jude at 1 under and fell two spots to 51st. Matt McCarty (T63, 7 over) slipped from 48th to the 50th and final qualifying spot.
Spieth, meanwhile, entered the week No. 54 in the standings and needed a solo 23rd finish just to have a mathematical chance of advancing. He was in fine position to achieve that after opening the tournament with rounds of 65 and 69.
But a 2-over 72 Saturday and an even-par 70 Sunday impeded his progress, and he settled for a five-way tie for 19th at 4 under. He landed No. 52 in points, the second one out.
“I needed to be almost flawless (Sunday). When the wind was blowing, it’s a hard golf course,” Spieth said.
He was 2 under for his round through 10 holes but recorded three bogeys with one birdie from Nos. 11-15.
“(Saturday) really set me back,” Spieth said. “Felt like I stayed pretty calm, got off to the start I wanted (Sunday). Then around that 11, 12, 13, 14 stretch, if you can get through there unscathed, you know you’re looking at some opportunities on the other holes. I did pretty well around those holes this week, but (Sunday) kind of caught a couple that could have gone one way or the other and ended up mis-executing the shots just barely and didn’t get away of it.”
Spieth reiterated the confidence he had in the way he was playing as his season came to an unceremonious end.
“In some ways I feel like I’m leaving some out there, and in some ways it’s a good thing because like I mentioned after the first round, this will be the last time I finish like this for a while,” Spieth said.
“I’m very, very confident in what’s coming. I just ran out of steam and maybe made a couple bad decisions over about a six-week stretch on what I was working on, and I just didn’t quite have enough time to make up for it.”
Other notable players who did not advance to the BMW Championship included Max Homa (No. 53), Harris English (No. 54), Corey Conners of Canada (No. 59), Shane Lowry of Ireland (No. 62), Brian Harman (No. 65) and rising rookie Jackson Koivun (No. 67).

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WALKS AWAY WITH DOMINANT FEDEX ST. JUDE WIN
Scottie Scheffler had a fair share of close calls this year, but not Sunday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He shot a final-round 4-under-par 66 and pulled away to win the tournament by eight strokes and extend his lead in the FedEx Cup playoffs in Memphis, Tenn.
“I felt like a week like this was coming,” Scheffler said. “I felt like I was on repeat all year just being like, ‘Hey, I’m playing solid. I’m close.’ It feels good to be answering some different questions at the end of this week.”
Scheffler is the World No. 1 golfer, but this marked his first victory since January.
“I have had some close calls this year,” Scheffler said. “I feel like I kept saying at the end of each tournament that I feel like I am playing pretty good, it’s just little things that aren’t going my way.”
He finished at 17-under 263 for an eight-stroke advantage on runner-up Si Woo Kim of South Korea at TPC Southwind, where the opening event of three tournaments in the FedEx Cup playoffs took place. Kim shot 68.
It was the tournament’s second-largest margin of victory in the last 30 years, though the largest winning gap at TPC Southwind.
“I felt like I’ve been in a good rhythm,” Scheffler said. “I didn’t hit maybe as many fairways this week, but I was really sharp with the irons, and I rolled it really good on the greens. That’s a good compensation if you’re going to try to have success out here.”
None of the other contenders made much of a push Sunday, while by midway through the round Scheffler’s lead expanded from two strokes to five.
Scheffler, who secured his 21st all-time victory on the tour, poured it on with birdies on Nos. 11, 13 and 16.
“I played solid golf all day, really all week,” Scheffler said.
Earlier, Scheffler took a strange bogey on the par-5 third hole when his blast from the bunker apparently struck a sprinkler head and rolled off the green and into the water. He didn’t have another blemish on his card.
Sam Burns (73) and Sweden’s Alex Noren (69) tied for third at 8 under, while Wyndham Clark (68) and South Korea’s Sungjae Im (74) shared fifth place at 7 under.
“I would have had to play pretty much a perfect round of golf to have a chance today,” said Burns, who was in the final pairing with Scheffler. “And I didn’t come close to that. Yeah, he played exactly how I expected him to.”
Noren notched birdies on three straight holes (Nos. 14-16) to climb the leaderboard.
“Just kept doing the same stuff, and it was quite a trip, and the game got a little bit better every day,” Noren said. “Just tried to almost enjoy the struggle in the heat as well.”
The best round of the day was turned in by England’s Justin Rose, the defending champion, with 64. But he was so far back that it only pushed him to even-par 280 for the tournament and into a tie for 39th place.
It was a frustrating tournament for Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, whose final-round 72 left him at 8 over and in 66th place for the tournament. He’ll advance nonetheless, perhaps encouraged with his five birdies across the final 10 holes Sunday.
“I guess nice to shake the rust off a little bit,” McIlroy said. “But I’m going to have to work pretty hard between now and next Thursday to feel like I have any sort of golf game to compete next week.”
The next stop in the playoffs is this coming week’s BMW Championship, which was won by Scheffler last year. Matt McCarty landed on the 50th and final spot into the field.
Im was the only one to play his way into the top 50 this week (from No. 53 to No. 40). That came at the expense of Keith Mitchell, who dropped from No. 49 to No. 51 as the first one out. Jordan Spieth only managed to reach 52nd in the points race and will not go to the BMW.

MARCUS ERICSSON SNAPS 63-RACE DROUGHT WITH VICTORY AT ONTARIO
A late burst helped Sweden’s Marcus Ericsson win the inaugural Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham on Sunday, snapping a drought of 63 winless starts.
“It’s been long enough. But we’ve worked so hard,” Ericsson said during a post-race interview. “It doesn’t come as a surprise. We’ve had such a good year and getting stronger and stronger … every weekend. I really felt we deserved it. And we had to work for it.”
This was the first time that Markham, Ontario, hosted Canada’s lone IndyCar race. Toronto’s Exhibition Place had served as host since 1986.
Ericsson, who drives for Andretti Global, overtook Romain Grosjean with four laps remaining and led for 21 of the 90 laps en route to his fifth win on the circuit and first since St. Petersburg in 2023. He finished in 2:16:22, just ahead of Grosjean (2:16.29). Will Power, Ericsson’s teammate, finished third (2:16.32.79).Football news
Alex Palou, the season’s points leader, was fourth (2:16.32.97). He leads the standings with 542 points. Kyle Kirkwood is second with 409. Kirkwood crashed out in Lap 53 on Sunday and finished 21st.
Pole-sitter Louis Foster led for 32 laps before crashing on Lap 43 trying to pass Ericsson.
“Just super annoying, because we actually had a shot to win today,” Foster told reporters outside of IndyCar’s medical unit. “We got completely screwed by the yellow and then drove our (butts) off to get up to (second) for half a second until we were in the wall. And we had pace on everyone.”
The series resumes next Sunday at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C.

INDIANA SRN BIG GAMES — AUGUST 21, 2026
(BY COACH KEITH MEYERS)
The 2026 IHSAA varsity football season officially begins August 21. Here are my Big Game predictions for opening night.
Carmel vs. Fishers
Carmel and Fishers open the season with a huge Class 6A matchup. Both teams have the talent to make a deep postseason run, so this will be an early measuring stick. I expect Carmel’s experience to make the difference late.
Prediction: Carmel 28, Fishers 21
Lawrence North vs. Brownsburg
This is one of the biggest games in Central Indiana on opening night, with defending Class 6A champion Brownsburg facing Lawrence North. Lawrence North will need to slow down a very talented Brownsburg offense. I expect the Bulldogs to make enough big plays to escape with a close victory.
Prediction: Brownsburg 31, Lawrence North 24
Mt. Vernon vs. Kokomo
Mt. Vernon and Kokomo will both be looking to start the season with a statement victory. This should be a physical game with both teams trying to establish the running game. I expect Mt. Vernon to make a big play late and win a close one.
Prediction: Mt. Vernon 27, Kokomo 24
Warren Central vs. Center Grove
Two traditional Indiana powers meet in a game that should feature plenty of speed and physicality. Center Grove’s defense could be the difference if the Trojans can force turnovers. I expect Center Grove to pull away in the fourth quarter.
Prediction: Center Grove 28, Warren Central 20
Cathedral vs. Ben Davis
Cathedral and Ben Davis bring tremendous tradition into this opening-night battle. Both teams have the athletes to make this one of the best games of the night. I like Cathedral to make the key plays late.
Prediction: Cathedral 27, Ben Davis 24
Westfield vs. Homestead
Westfield travels to Homestead for another outstanding 6A matchup. Westfield’s physical style and ability to control the line of scrimmage should keep the Shamrocks in control. Homestead will make it interesting, but Westfield gets the win.
Prediction: Westfield 28, Homestead 21
Chatard vs. Lafayette Jefferson
Chatard opens the season against Lafayette Jefferson in a matchup featuring two proud football programs. Chatard’s physical defense and running game should create problems throughout the night. I expect the Trojans to control the second half.
Prediction: Chatard 35, Lafayette Jefferson 21
Greenfield-Central vs. Alexandria
Greenfield-Central will look to start the season fast against Alexandria. The Cougars should have the size and physicality to control the line of scrimmage. I expect Greenfield-Central to build a lead and hold on for the win.
Prediction: Greenfield-Central 34, Alexandria 14
Evansville Memorial vs. Jasper
This is a familiar Southern Indiana matchup between two programs that know each other well. Evansville Memorial will look to use its speed and experience to control the game. I expect Memorial to win, although Jasper should compete throughout.
Prediction: Evansville Memorial 28, Jasper 17
South Putnam vs. North Putnam
This rivalry should provide plenty of emotion on opening night. South Putnam will try to establish the running game and control the clock. North Putnam should keep it close, but South Putnam gets the edge.
Prediction: South Putnam 27, North Putnam 20
Covenant Christian vs. Park Tudor
Covenant Christian travels to Park Tudor for a Friday-night non-conference matchup scheduled for 7 p.m. Both teams will be eager to start the season with a victory. I expect Covenant Christian’s physical play to be the difference in a close game.
Prediction: Covenant Christian 28, Park Tudor 21

Mercedes Russell scored her first points as a member of the Fever at the 2:10 mark of the third quarter, hitting two free throws.
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Indianapolis Indians rallied for two runs in the seventh inning to tie the game, but fell to the Nashville Sounds, 6-4, on Sunday night at First Horizon Park. The clubs split the six-game series at three apiece.

PURDUE VOLLEYBALL
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – In the first American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll release of 2026, Purdue was picked No. 9. The preseason prediction is just just one spot shy of the program’s record in the preseason standings (No. 8 in 2024 and 2014). Meanwhile, it is the second time in the last three seasons the Boilermakers have earned the top-10 preseason ranking.
Ahead, Purdue will face a total of 11 matchups against top-25 teams, including eight top-16 teams and either four or five top-10 teams (depending on if the team plays No. 11 SMU or No. 8 Kentucky at the Paradise Invitational) throughout the season.
Among the Big Ten, the Boilermakers were one of eight programs recognized in the top-25, one of 11 receiving votes, and rank third among those teams.
Coming off arguably its best season in program history behind a program-record five All-Big Ten First Team honorees, which includes Taylor Anderson, Grace Heaney and Kenna Wollard as first team selections, rides its momentum into the 2026 season, returning five of its 2025 Regional Final starters. Anderson, Heaney and Wollard were also tabbed 2026 AVCA Player of the Year Watch List honorees and preseason All-Big Ten. Purdue is one of three programs in the nation with three national POTY contenders on its team (joined by Nebraska: 3 and Kentucky: 4).
With exhibition matches set to begin this Friday for the Boilermakers, single-match tickets for Purdue home matches are available now. Purdue will host two ticketed exhibition matches on August 14 vs. Ball State and August 21 vs. Butler leading up to the season-opener vs. Creighton on August 28.

NOTRE DAME WOMEN’S SOCCER

With an even slate of 0-0 at halftime, both teams were hungry for their first goals of the season. Four total goals were scored in the second half with Penn State converting twice to take a 2-0 lead before the Irish were able to make a late comeback and respond with two goals of their own.

While the Irish were limited in their opportunities in the first half, junior goalkeeper Sonoma Kasica held firm with three saves in the first 45 of play. .
The Nittany Lions put their first goal of the day on the board in the 52nd minute, following with their second goal of the day immediately after to post a 2-0 advantage over Notre Dame.
The Irish had a great shot from Reese Canada on the right wing in the 58th minute, resulting in a big save from the Penn State keeper as the ball nearly made it between the hands of the goalie and the crossbar.

The Irish remained aggressive, still in search of their first goal of the 2026 season.
In the 68th minute, Lily Joseph had a look from the top of the box as she fired it off the pass from Kemmerley, but would land just high of the goal. It was followed with a shot from Kemmerely, who drew the yellow card on the Nittany Lion goalkeeper.
Joseph would take the penalty kick for the Irish as she found the back of the net to put the Irish on the board with their first goal of the season and made it 1-2 in the 69th minute.
Persistent in their efforts, the Irish kept control and continued to get good looks. In 88th minute, one of those looks would find the back of the net. Ellie Hodsden battled in the box as she passed it through a pair of defenders, where the quick Joseph touch sent it to the right side of the net for the equalizer.
Notre Dame continued to work in hopes to get one last goal in the closing minutes, but would ultimately close it out with a 2-2 draw.

IU INDY WOMEN’S SOCCER
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The IU Indianapolis (0-2) women’s soccer team fell to host Louisville (1-1) by a final score of 5-1 on Sunday (Aug. 16) at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium. After a torrential thunderstorm rolled through, the Jaguars’ defense then weathered 30 Louisville shots, registering 13 saves. The game was originally delayed by two hours due to inclement weather, ultimately not kicking off until nearly 9 p.m.
QUOTABLE
“The nerves were definitely high. Louisville’s an amazing team, but just getting that first stop in, draining all the nerves, it just really brought the entire team up and making sure everybody could keep pushing forward,” sophomore goalkeeper Isabel Oferosky said after an eight-save performance, which included a nervy stop in her first minutes of a scoreless second half.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The match commenced with Louisville quickly establishing a 1-0 lead as Liza Suydam notched a goal in the opening minute. Despite facing pressure, the Jags’ defense, led by goalkeeper Sofia Rodriguez, managed multiple saves, notably stopping shots by Liz Eddy and Liza Suydam. Sophomore Anika Guenther created a notable moment for the Jags at the 22nd minute when her shot struck the top woodwork, but the visitors were unable to capitalize further.
Louisville extended its lead with goals from Karina Peat, Ella Bard, Amelia Swinarski, and Abigail Cox, closing the first period at 5-0. The Jags showed resilience with a late attempt by Addison Stover, which also hit the woodwork, but the team entered halftime trailing. The Jaguars were limited to just the two shot attempts, both of which were denied by the crossbar.
Keilah Muldrow scored on the back post of a corner kick for IU Indy at the 61st minute, with assists from Bethany Hartigan and Annaliese Black. The goal was Muldrow’s fifth of her career. Despite Louisville’s frequent attempts on goal, Oferosky provided solid goalkeeping, saving multiple shots to prevent further scoring, anchoring a defense that continually shuffled bodies for a second straight game.
TOP PERFORMERS
Isabel Oferosky / Eight saves
Sofia Rodriguez / Five saves
Annaliese Black / One assist

INDIANA STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State battled through a defensive matchup on Sunday afternoon but came up just short in a 1–0 loss to Western Kentucky at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores controlled long stretches of possession, generated multiple looks in the attacking third, and held firm defensively for most of the match, but a second-half WKU strike proved to be the difference.
The Sycamores’ back line and midfield were steady throughout, limiting WKU’s chances and forcing the Lady Toppers into low-percentage attempts. Goalkeeper Sofie Hansen delivered another composed performance, making key saves in both halves, including a bottom-center stop in the 34th minute and another in the 84th to keep the Sycamores within reach.
Indiana State created several promising opportunities of its own, highlighted by shots from Alex Lehnert, Quinn Urquhart, Tori Angelo, Peyton Wetzel, and Addyson Warner. The Sycamores pushed late, earning throw-ins and free kicks in the attacking half, but WKU’s defense held to close out the match.
How They Scored
53′ — Western Kentucky: Makenna Egan finished a right-footed shot to the bottom center of the net, assisted by Maggie Bellair. (1-0)
News & Notes
Sofie Hansen recorded two key saves.
Alex Lehnert generated four shots, of which two were on goal.
Quinn Urquhart, Tori Angelo, and Peyton Wetzel recorded a shot each.
Addyson Warner nearly equalized with an 86th-minute attempt that missed just off target.
The Sycamores defended six WKU corners and limited the Hilltoppers to one goal despite extended second-half pressure.
20 different Sycamores saw the field.
The match featured steady defensive organization from Riley Mathews, Avery Oergel, and the Sycamore back line, holding WKU to selective chances.

PURDUE FT. WAYNE WOMEN’S SOCCER
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne women’s soccer team fell 7-1 in its regular season opener at Purdue on Sunday (Aug. 16).
Despite Purdue jumping out to a first-half lead, the Mastodons and Boilermakers were even in the second 45. Kailey Hansen found the back of the net off a cleared corner kick from Morgan Gallagher, finishing from just in front of the net to cut into the Boilermakers’ lead in the 63rd minute.
Purdue added one more goal in the second half, scoring in the 80th minute to go even with the ‘Dons after halftime.
Sam Christle played the second half between the sticks, registering five saves.
Senior Amanda Leonard recorded the Mastodons’ first shot on goal in the 58th minute, but her attempt was stopped by the Purdue goalkeeper. Reserves Dalia Sabet and Hailey Hoskins also had a shot each.
###############################################
SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer fell in a 2-0 contest against Middle Tennessee State University on Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field.
Sunday’s game, which was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. and was pushed back to a 5 p.m. start due to extreme heat, was the Screaming Eagles’ second match of their season-opening three-game homestand.
Each side recorded nine shot attempts, with USI (0-1-1) edging Middle Tennessee (2-0-0) in shots on goal, 5-4. The Blue Raiders had eight corner kicks compared to two for USI.
Graduate forward Payton Seymour and freshman midfielder Shea Krakowski led USI with two shots taken, with Krakowski being one of five Screaming Eagles with a shot on goal. Between the posts, sophomore goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach collected two saves.
Setting the tone in the first half in what was going to be a tough battle for possession, the defenses made it difficult for either side to get a clean shot attempt toward goal. One of the better looks for USI in the opening half came off the foot of sophomore midfielder Olivia Hass toward the low corner that was saved. The game remained scoreless going into halftime with the two sides combining for nine shots and three on goal.
Middle Tennessee broke the deadlock to take a 1-0 lead with a goal by Hailey Phillips in the 55th minute, poking the ball into goal after a battle for a loose ball inside the box. USI looked to answer with a free kick by Krakowski before the 60-minute mark, but the attempt went over the crossbar. The Blue Raiders doubled the lead to 2-0 with a goal by Megan Carroll in the 69th minute and held on to the two-goal lead for the rest of the match.
Sunday’s score snapped USI’s consecutive shutout streak, which reached five straight clean sheets dating back to the end of last season and one away from tying the program record. The defensive scoreless stretch going back to last season reached 530-plus consecutive minutes without allowing a goal, only 25 minutes shy of a new program record.
Next, the Screaming Eagles conclude their season-opening three-match homestand on Thursday at 5 p.m. when USI hosts the University of Akron at Strassweg Field for USI’s Welcome Week match.
###############################################
VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
The Valpo soccer team looked poised to capture its first victory of the 2026 campaign Sunday in a hot and humid contest at SIUE, but the hosts found the back of the net with 10 seconds to play to bring the contest to a close as a 2-2 draw.
How It Happened
The match stayed scoreless in the 25th minute as Kiara Desiderio (St. John, Ind./Hanover Central) showed her defensive chops, heading a ball off the line off a shot from a corner kick.
Valpo claimed the lead in the 34th minute on a set piece. Sofia Raco (Mississauga, Ont./Holy Name of Mary College School) took a corner kick from the right side and sent the ball to the top middle of the box, where Daisy Boardman (Warrington, England/Bridgwater) found herself open for a right-footed volley into the upper-right corner of the net.
Four minutes later, the match entered a delay for lightning which lasted around 45 minutes, and coming out of the delay, the momentum had shifted towards the Cougars. In the final eight minutes of the first half, SIUE had three shots — two of which were saved by Adria Schultz (Toronto, Ont./Michael Power – St. Joseph) — and three corner kicks.
After the halftime break, SIUE continued to pressure, getting a pair of early corner kicks and forcing Schultz to make two more saves and the Beacons to clear another ball off the line. The Cougars eventually broke through in the 52nd minute, as Zeniyah Russell found the back of the net.
SIUE continued to pressure throughout the second half, but the Beacons were able to keep the Cougars from gaining the lead — thanks in part to Boardman making a save of her own on the line in the 67th minute.
Valpo came up with what looked like it would be the match-winner in the 81st minute. Alyssa Thomas (Waunakee, Wis./Waunakee [Wright State]) got enough room down the left flank to send a cross along the ground into the box. Desiderio took possession in the center of the box with her back to goal, eight yards out, and turned and fired home emphatically to give the Beacons a 2-1 lead.
With seconds to play, SIUE had one final push. Schultz made an initial save on a shot from Claire Nieroda, but her parry landed directly at the foot of Carson Bohnenstiehl, came off her foot and looped just over the goal line with 10 seconds left on the clock to equalize.
Inside the Match
Boardman’s goal was her first collegiate tally, coming in the 50th match of her Beacon career.
On the flip side, Desiderio found the back of the net for the eighth time in 19 collegiate matches.
Thomas’ assist on Desiderio’s goal was the third of her collegiate career and her second in the Valpo uniform, while Raco’s assist came just two matches into her freshman campaign.
This is the first time since Oct. 13, 2024 that the Beacons have not won a match in which they scored at least two goals, drawing 3-3 that day against Evansville.
Valpo is 30-0-3 in its last 33 matches scoring at least two goals.
SIUE held an 18-10 advantage in shots, an 11-7 edge in shots on goal and an 11-4 advantage in corner kicks.
Schultz made seven saves in her second collegiate start, while the Beacons had the pair of team saves as well credited to Desiderio and Boardman.
This was just the second meeting in program history between Valpo and SIUE — ironically, the other previous matchup came back in 2008, which was the first season as head coach for both John Marovich and SIUE gaffer Derek Burton.
Sunday’s start time was pushed up three hours to 10 a.m. due to forecasted heat and humidity during the afternoon hours, which led to the first-half lightning delay — both of the Beacons’ games on opening weekend were affected by lightning, as the start of Thursday’s opener was pushed back a half hour as well.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“I’m pleased with the chances we created in the attacking third during the first 30 minutes, similar to what we did on Thursday. Daisy had a really quality first-time volley off the corner kick to put us up 1-0.”
“Conceding early in the second half didn’t set us back, and that again shows the mentality of this group. We responded well and found another goal through Kiara on a really good service into the box.”
“Unfortunately, one-goal games can have frantic endings, and we gave up the equalizer in the final seconds. That’s something we’ll learn from and continue to develop as a team.”
“These moments early in the season are really valuable as we prepare for MVC play. We’ve had a lot of good individual performances and have continued to create quality chances, so this weekend has been an important step in the development of our team.”
Next Up
Valpo (0-1-1) comes back to Brown Field for its home opener Thursday evening, Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. against Western Illinois.

1983 – At County Stadium, the Brewers’ Tom Candiotti makes his first major league start and pitches a complete game, beating the Red Sox, 5 – 1. Candiotti, who will not throw a knuckler until 1985, will go 4 – 0 in his first four decisions, compiling an 0.84 ERA. He’ll shut out the Angels on August 25th.
1984 – At Detroit, the Tigers draw 36,496 to break their attendance mark of 2,031,847 set in 1968. They also top the Mariners, 6 – 2, behind Milt Wilcox. Alan Trammell returns to SS for the first time in 39 games and adds two hits.
1985:
Reggie Jackson hits his 522nd career home run off Oakland’s Bill Krueger to move past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into eighth place on the all-time list.
The Phils use a barrage of six homers to overwhelm the Cubs at Chicago, 10 – 4. Darren Daulton and Rick Schu go back-to back in the 4th and Juan Samuel, Glenn Wilson and Mike Schmidt hit consecutive homers in the 7th. One out later, Daulton hits his second of the game.
1986:
Pete Rose makes his final major league appearance, striking out as a pinch hitter against Goose Gossage. The Reds lose, 9 – 5, to the visiting Padres. A bright spot is Barry Larkin hitting his first major league home run, off LaMarr Hoyt.

1989 – Orioles SS Cal Ripken plays in his 1,208th consecutive game to move past Steve Garvey into third place on the all-time list. He goes 3 for 5 with a home run to help Baltimore to an 11 – 6 win over Toronto.
1990:
Oakland’s Bob Welch (20-4) wins his 20th game of the season, 8 – 3 over the Orioles. Mark McGwire hits his 31st homer and drives in three.
In Chicago’s 4 – 2 win over Texas in the second game of a doubleheader, Carlton Fisk homers off Charlie Hough to become the White Sox’s all-time home run leader (with 187) and the all-time leader in home runs by a catcher (328). Texas wins the opener in the bottom of the 13th inning when Gary Pettis hits a leadoff triple, and scores on Ruben Sierra’s drive. Texas wastes a ten-inning effort from Nolan Ryan in which he strikes out 15. Greg Hibbard goes eight frames for the Chisox.
1992 – Dodgers P Kevin Gross tosses a no-hitter in defeating the Giants by a score of 2 – 0. It is the eighth no-hitter in L.A. Dodgers history. Gross throws 99 pitches, 71 for strikes. The only threat is an 8th-inning liner by Robby Thompson that SS Jose Offerman snares. Eric Karros hits his 17th home run to provide the margin.
1993:
The Reds trade 1B Randy Milligan to the Indians in exchange for a player to be named.
The Class A Bellingham Mariners score 17 runs in the 3rd inning of their 25 – 2 win over Spokane.

Former major league 1B Willie Aikens is convicted by a federal jury on four counts of distributing crack cocaine and one count of using a gun in a drug transaction. He could face at least 15 years in prison.
1996:
Boston’s Roger Clemens (6-11) stops the Angels, 6 – 0, collecting his first shutout since April 20, 1994. It is the Rocket’s 37th shutout, leaving him one behind Cy Young for the most in Sox history.
Thomas Howard has his fourth consecutive three-hit game to lead the Reds to a 5 – 3 win over the Rockies. Howard has two doubles and a run-scoring triple and scores three runs.
1997 – Boston’s Nomar Garciaparra hits in his 20th straight game, tying Fred Lynn’s Boston rookie record. Boston wins, 10 – 5, sweeping four from the Twins. Minnesota has lost nine straight,
1999:
Sic transit gloria. The Cards send Jose Jimenez to AAA Memphis less than two months after his no-hitter against Arizona. He joins Bobo Holloman as the only pitcher to go to the minors in the same year in which he pitched a no-hitter.
Oriole reliever Jesse Orosco, 42, sets a major league mark pitching in his 1,072nd game, passing Dennis Eckersley on the all-time career appearance list.
2000 – The Orioles defeat the White Sox, 5 – 3. Chicago P James Baldwin ties an American League record by hitting four batters with pitches in the contest. Previously, he had hit only two in 154 innings.
2001:
Toronto beats Texas, 11 – 3, as Jeff Frye becomes the second Blue Jay ever to hit for the cycle. Frye’s final hit of the evening is a liner to deep right-center that, in other circumstances, might have gone for a double. But with his team safely in the lead, Frye stops at first to record a single and give himself a cycle, as the hit allows Homer Bush to score easily from first base. After the game, Frye finds a bicycle leaning against his locker, the traditional reward for the feat. Kelly Gruber is the only other Toronto player to accomplish the feat.
Atlanta’s Greg Maddux pitches the Braves to a 2 – 1 win over the Giants and Livan Hernandez. Hernandez came into the game with eight straight hits and in his first at bat reaches on an error. He goes 1 for 3. John Smoltz racks up his first regular-season save, striking out four batters.
The Brewers defeat the Reds, 5 – 1. Cincinnati P Jose Rijo hurls the last two scoreless innings in relief, his first major league action in six years.
2002:
Homering in the 7th inning off Mariners starter James Baldwin, Yankee All-Star Alfonso Soriano becomes the first second baseman to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season. Bobby Bonds is the only other Yankee to post a 30/30 season, accomplishing the feat in 1975. New York OF Bernie Williams singles in his first at bat to give him 11 consecutive hits. He makes an out his next time up to fall one short of the major league record.
Houston scores five runs in the 9th inning to beat Cincinnati, 6 – 1. SS Jose Vizcaino gets five hits, including a leadoff home run.
Going, going, Yan. For the second day in a row, Tampa Bay’s Esteban Yan gives up a two-out homer in the 9th, and it costs him his closer’s job. Yesterday, Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer to give Kansas City a 6 – 5 win. Today, Brent Mayne ties the score with a solo home run, then Mike Sweeney ices it for K.C., 7 – 3, in the 12th with a three-run shot. Ibanez adds a homer.
The Padres down the Expos, 6 – 5. In doing so, they set a new major-league record for pitchers used in a season when reliever Jonathan Johnson pitches a perfect 7th to earn the win. Gene Kingsale caps a four-run 8th with a two-run pinch double. A streaker, clad in shorts, then runs across the field and slides into second base at Kingsale’s feet.
Alex Rodriguez becomes the sixth player and the first infielder to compile five consecutive 40-home run seasons. Babe Ruth established the record with seven straight 40-homer seasons from 1926 to 1932.
2003
The Rally Monkey, the Angels’ unofficial mascot, is honored for its contribution to last season’s world championship with its own bobblehead doll promotion. The Rally Monkey Bobble Belly joins other dolls given to fans this year paying tribute to Troy Glaus (2002 World Series MVP) , Adam Kennedy (ALCS MVP), and Mike Scioscia (AL Manager of the Year) and will wear an Anaheim jersey with the name of an honored player on the back.
Peanuts character Charlie Brown joins late broadcaster Bob Prince, Negro League star Josh Gibson, former catcher Manny Sanguillen, and current shortstop Jack Wilson when he is honored by the Pirates with a bobblehead doll give-away day. Almost ten percent of the nearly 18,000 Peanuts strips created by Charles Schulz focused on baseball.
2004 – As she enters Raley Field at 6:27 p.m., five-year-old Olivia Perez is honored by the Sacramento RiverCats as she becomes the four millionth fan in franchise history. The Triple A affiliate of the Oakland A’s reaches the milestone faster than any club in minor league baseball history.
2005 – St. Louis announces the franchise has broken its single-season attendance record of 3.43 million set in 1989. The first-place Cardinals have sold 3.45 million tickets for the team’s farewell season at 40-year-old Busch Stadium.
2007 – Brandon Webb shuts out the Braves, 4 – 0, for his third straight shutout. It has been nine years since another pitcher (Roger Clemens) threw three consecutive complete games. Webb has now pitched 42 straight scoreless innings, the first pitcher to top 40 since Orel Hershiser in 1988. He ties Rube Foster for 12th in major league history and ranks fifth since 1940, trailing Hershiser, Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson and Sal Maglie.
2008:
In a 2008 Olympics game continued from Thursday after a rain delay, South Korea surprisingly needs 11 innings to beat China. Seung-yeop Lee delivers the game-winning hit.
R.A. Dickey becomes the fifth major league pitcher to throw four wild pitches in one inning; two of them score runs in a 11 – 8 Mariners loss to the Twins. On another wild throw, Kenji Johjima is charged with a passed ball.
2009:
Stephen Strasburg, the first overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft, signs a record-breaking deal with the Washington Nationals, at “11:58 and 43 seconds”, according to team president Stan Kasten. The deadline for signing was midnight. The deal will pay the right-handed pitcher $15.1 million over four years.
The Tigers obtain slugging 1B Aubrey Huff from the Orioles in a trade for Brett Jacobson. Huff is hitting .253 with 13 homers and 72 RBI.
2010:
The Mets place closer Francisco Rodriguez on the disqualified list and will not pay him until he is able to pitch again. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury punching his father-in-law last week, an action for which he faces criminal assault charges. The Mets may still try to void the last year of his contract as well, worth $11.5 million, although such a decision would be certain to be contested by the Players union.
Hyun-jin Ryu of the Hanwha Eagles throws his 23rd straight quality start, dating back over a year. The Korea Times states that this is a world record, as Chris Carpenter and Bob Gibson each had 22 in a row.
Jim Thome ties the major league record for career walk-off home runs with his 12th, as the Twins beat the White Sox, 7 – 6. Thome catches Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial, Frank Robinson and Babe Ruth.
2011:
The injury-ravaged Giants, missing their top two relievers, closer Brian Wilson and set-up man Sergio Romo, build an early 7 – 1 lead over the Braves behind the pitching of Matt Cain. Things get more difficult when the bullpen takes over in the 9th and gives up four runs until Jeremy Affeldt manages to strike out Brian McCann, representing the tying run, for the last out in a 7 – 5 win. The slumping Giants manage to pick up a game on the Diamondbacks in the NL West race.
The Rays get their third straight stellar performance by a starting pitcher as David Price throws eight scoreless innings, giving up only three hits, in a 4 – 0 win over the Red Sox. Price’s gem follows a complete game three-hitter by James Shields, and a three-hit shutout by Jeff Niemann in the first two games of the series at Fenway Park. The Sox still manage to save something, winning the opener, 3 – 1, in spite of Shields’s great effort. It is the first time in Red Sox history they have been held to three hits or less in three straight games at home.
2012:
The Angels’ Jered Weaver gets roughed up, giving up nine earned runs in three innings in the worst start of his career as Tampa Bay cruises to a 12 – 3 win at Angels Stadium. Weaver’s ERA shoots up from 2.22 to 2.74 as a result of the outing, and he faces seven batters without recording an out in the 4th before manager Mike Scioscia mercifully removes him from the game. James Shields is the winner while B.J. Upton goes 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBI.
Prince Fielder hits a pair of two-run homers to lead Detroit to a 5 – 3 win over the Orioles. The second shot, off J.C. Romero in the 8th, breaks a 3 – 3 tie. The Bengals’ other run is the result of a 1st-inning homer by their other big bopper, Miguel Cabrera.
In the last day of first-round action at the 2012 Women’s Baseball World Cup, host Canada loses for the first time, dropping a 9 – 7 decision to Japan as Ayako Rokkaku scores three, Yukiko Kon hits a three-run triple and Yui Shingu gets the win. Also, Venezuela stuns the USA by a 5 – 1 margin and Australia clinches the fourth spot in the semifinals by beating Taiwan, 11 – 4, behind the arm of Brittany Hepburn and the bat of Bronwyn Gell.
2013 – The Royals’ Miguel Tejada is handed a 105-game suspension for testing positive for amphetamines. In the game that follows, Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers hits a walk-off homer against Aaron Crow in the 9th inning for a 6 – 5 win over the Royals.
2014 – Michael Cuddyer returns to the Rockies’ line-up after missing 60 days because of a fractured shoulder and hits for the cycle on his first day back as the Rockies sweep the Reds, 10 – 9 and 10 – 5, in a doubleheader. Cuddyer goes 1-for-5 in the opener before collecting his second career cycle in the nitecap; he is only the third player to have one in both leagues, after Bob Watson and John Olerud. Before the games, the Rockies retire uniform number 17 in honor of long-time 1B Todd Helton, who retired after last season.
2016:
The Commissioner’s office issues an indefinite suspension against Astros minor league outfielder Danry Vasquez, one day after the release of a tape from a surveillance camera showing him assaulting his girlfriend in a stairwell at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, TX. The Astros immediately announce that he has been handed his unconditional release, as teams no longer show any tolerance for serious incidents of family violence.
Down three games to one in the 2016 Italian Series, defending champion Rimini trails Game 5 by a 2 – 1 margin after 5 1/2 innings. In the bottom of the 6th, Daniel Mayora takes Luca Panerati of Bologna deep to tie it. Then, in the 7th, Mayora hits a grand slam off Riccardo De Santis to put Rimini in charge, keeping their hopes alive by forcing a Game 6.
2018 – The Cubs tie a major league record by turning seven double plays in a 1 – 0 win over the Pirates. Fittingly, the game ends when David Freese hits a grounder to 3B David Bote who starts the record-tying twin killing. They are the third team to achieve the feat in a nine-inning game.
2019:
In one of the wildest games of the year, the Brewers defeat the Nationals, 15 – 14, in 14 innings. Eric Thames provides the winning margin with a two-run homer in the top of the 14th, the seventh long ball of the game for Milwaukee. The Brewers blow four different leads in the game, and also erase a three-run deficit against closer Sean Doolittle in the 9th and take a one-run lead, only to see Washington tie the game at 12 – 12 and force extra innings with a run in the bottom of the inning. But the Nats then fail to score the winning run with the bases loaded and none out as Josh Hader strikes out three consecutive batters after blowing the lead. Christian Yelich’s second homer puts Milwaukee ahead, 13 – 12, in the 13th, but a sacrifice fly by Victor Robles in the bottom of the frame prolongs things. After Thames’ homer, Washington almost manages to equalize again, as they score on a two-out error by Keston Hiura in the bottom of the 14th, but Junior Guerra strikes out pitcher Joe Ross making a rare pinch-hitting appearance to end the game.
In another wild game, in Game 2 of the 2019 Italian Series, T&A San Marino blows a 5 – 3 lead with two away in the bottom of the 9th. Eladio Russo singles in Alessandro Vaglio, back-to-back walks tie it and Jose Ferrini’s single off Valerio Simone scores Russo with the winner for Unipol Bologna.
2020:
For the first time of their career, brothers Kyle and Corey Seager meet in a regular season game and, fittingly, both hit homers as Corey’s Dodgers defeat Kyle’s Mariners, 11 – 9. Because of the six-year age difference between them, the two had never played together growing up, and their only meetings had been in Cactus League games. It’s also the first time two brothers homer for opposing teams since Cesar and Felipe Crespo did it on June 7, 2001.
With a 2nd-inning long ball off Touki Toussaint, 20-year-old Luis Garcia becomes the first player born in the 2000s to go deep in a major league game in Atlanta’s 7 – 6 win over Washington.
2022:
The Guardians are trailing the Tigers, 4 – 2, entering the bottom of the 8th when they turn the game around on an unusual rally. It starts off badly as Owen Miller and Andres Gimenez both strike out against Andrew Chafin, who also gets Luke Maile swinging, but C Eric Haase can’t coral the pitch and the dropped third strike, scored as a wild pitch, allows Maile to reach base. The floodgates then open as the Guardians score six runs on two singles, three doubles, an intentional walk and another single to win the game, 8 – 4.
The first-place Yankees, whose offense has been inordinately quiet of late, trail the Rays 4 – 0 before a two-run homer by Gleyber Torres puts them on the scoreboard in the 6th. After a one-hour rain delay, they manage to tie the game with single runs in the 7th and 8th, but in the top of the 10th, closer Aroldis Chapman gives up a three-run double to Francisco Mejia. In the bottom of the frame, however, the Yankees load the bases with a walk and a single, in addition to the designated runner, and Josh Donaldson hits an ultimate grand slam off Jalen Beeks to transform the 7 – 4 deficit into an 8 – 7 walk-off win.
2023 – Austin Barnes hits his first homer in almost a year in the 8th inning, accounting for the only run in the Dodgers’ 1 – 0 win over the Brewers. It is L.A.’s 11th straight victory.
2024 – Batting in the ninth spot of the order, CF Dairon Blanco has a career game for the Royals. His first two-homer game also features his first career grand slam and seven RBIs as he leads K.C. to a 13 – 1 trashing of the Reds. Dairon does it while swinging a bat designed to look like a bright yellow crayon, as part of the “Players Weekend” festivities in Major League Baseball.
