NFL PRESEASON ROUNDUP: JACK STRAND SHINES AS FALCONS ROUT COLTS
Former Division II quarterback Jack Strand threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score, leading the visiting Atlanta Falcons to a convincing 34-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday afternoon in preseason action.
Strand, an undrafted rookie out of Minnesota State-Moorhead, made a strong case to be Atlanta’s third-string quarterback behind Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa — who are still battling for the starting job and both sat against the Colts. Strand completed 12 of 17 passes for 212 yards, including a 13-yard score to fellow rookie Cash Jones, and scampered for a 16-yard score early in the third quarter.
Cooper Rush, who got the start for the Falcons (1-1), also impressed, completing 10 of 11 passes for 86 yards. Running backs Tyler Goodson (59 yards) and Nathan Carter (42 yards) also added rushing touchdowns for Atlanta, which outgained Indianapolis 461-164.NFL updates
The Colts (0-1-1) got all of their points from a pair of Spencer Shrader field goals and struggled to generate much offense with their reserve quarterbacks, converting 1 of 11 third-down attempts. Of Indianapolis’ 79 passing yards from reserves Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr., 39 of them came on a single completion to Coleman Owen.
Lions 17, Commanders 13
Detroit rested its starters but used rushing touchdowns from Joshua Dobbs and Trayveon Williams to come away with a win over visiting Washington.
Dobbs, the backup quarterback for the Lions (1-1) behind Jared Goff, had an eventful first quarter, with his first drive ending on a strip-sack, his second on an interception and his third on a 50-yard touchdown run. Rookie third-stringer Luke Altmyer got the majority of the reps, completing 9 of 13 passes for 86 yards.
Jayden Daniels, looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2025 season, played one series for the Commanders (1-1). He threw one incomplete pass and was sacked once. Rookie linebacker Joshua Josephs scored Washington’s lone touchdown by recovering Dobbs’ fumble in the end zone 51 seconds into the game.
Washington rookie kicker Drew Stevens, whom the team chose over veteran Jake Moody earlier this week, made both of his field-goal attempts. Detroit kicker Jake Bates made one of two field-goal attempts.
Bills 31, Browns 7
Rookie receiver Ja’Mori Maclin had 108 receiving yards and a touchdown catch to spark Buffalo’s road demolition of Cleveland.
Kyle Allen (10-for-12, 128 yards) and Shane Buechele (5-for-10, 111 yards) each threw a touchdown pass for the Bills (2-0), who outscored the Browns 17-0 in the second half. Maclin’s 71-yard catch-and-run score made it 24-7 late in the third quarter. Frank Gore Jr., the son of the former Bills running back, ran for 54 yards, just behind Ian Wheeler’s game-high 56 rushing yards.
The quarterback battle for Cleveland (0-2) seems to have narrowed to Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, with Dillon Gabriel attempting just one pass late in the loss. Neither had a particularly strong day, but Sanders (9-for-11, 74 yards, one touchdown, one interception) had a better showing than Watson (5-for-12, 36 yards, one pick). Luke Floriea’s first-quarter touchdown catch provided the Browns’ only points.
Ravens 13, Vikings 3

The undrafted rookie out of UConn completed 15 of 20 passes for the Ravens (2-0) and has 347 passing yards, two TDs and one interception through two games. His third-quarter touchdown pass to LaJohntay Wester put Baltimore ahead for good, breaking a 3-3 tie. The Ravens’ defense had five sacks, while kicker Tyler Loop made a pair of field goals.
With starter Kyler Murray sitting, former first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy got the start for the Vikings (1-1). He completed 5 of 10 passes for 81 yards, completing a 50-yard deep pass to Tai Felton (game-high 66 receiving yards) but also overthrowing a wide-open receiver on fourth-and-goal. Carson Wentz was 9-of-11 passing for 92 yards in relief of McCarthy.

Patriots 24, Eagles 21
Tommy DeVito had 151 yards passing with a touchdown and added 44 yards rushing for New England, which won its first game of the preseason (1-0-1) against Philadelphia.
A scary moment happened early as Eagles running back Ja’Quinden Jackson was injured on the opening kickoff. He was taken off the field in an ambulance, but the Eagles announced he had movement in his extremities later on.

MLB ROUNDUP: DYLAN CEASE FLIRTS WITH NO-HITTER, BLUE JAYS HOLD OFF YANKS
Dylan Cease took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays recorded a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon.
Cease (8-5) carried a no-hit bid for 6 2/3 innings until Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to right field. He then allowed an RBI single to Austin Wells for New York’s first run. George Springer, rookie Charles McAdoo and pinch hitter Nathan Lukes hit RBI singles for the Blue Jays, who totaled 15 hits and won for the eighth time in 12 games.
Tyler Rogers allowed a two-run homer to Luis Garcia Jr. in the eighth before striking out rookie George Lombard Jr. to end the inning. Louie Varland yielded a leadoff double to Chisholm in the ninth before striking out Trent Grisham to secure his 29th save.
New York lost starter Ryan Weathers (5-8) to left forearm discomfort. Weathers exited after throwing a pitch to Myles Straw in the fourth and the Yankees said he was undergoing further imaging. Weathers allowed two runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. The Yankees had a five-game winning streak stopped and lost for just the fifth time in their past 14 games.
Reds 11, Diamondbacks 5
JJ Bleday hit for the cycle and drove in three runs, Elly De La Cruz had four hits and was a triple short of the cycle, and Cincinnati evened the weekend series with a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.
Bleday’s cycle was the eighth in Reds history, the first since De La Cruz did it in June 2023 in his 15th major league game. De La Cruz struck out in the eighth when the Reds had a chance for a pair of teammates to have cycles in the same game for the first time in major league history. Reds starter Rhett Lowder (5-8) gave up six hits and four runs (three earned) in six innings.
Tim Tawa had two hits, including his career-high eighth homer, and Nolan Arenado also homered for the Diamondbacks. Arizona starter Michael Soroka (8-4) gave up six hits and six runs before leaving with one out in the fourth.
Angels 3, Rangers 0
Ryan Johnson allowed one hit over seven shutout innings to lead Los Angeles to a victory over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
Johnson (3-7) held the Rangers hitless for five innings. Michael Fulmer walked one in the eighth and rookie Ryan Watson earned his second save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth as the trio combined on a one-hitter.
Los Angeles’ Zach Neto was 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and two runs scored. Cody Freeman recorded the Rangers’ lone hit to open the sixth inning. Cody Bradford (0-2) scattered seven hits and allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings.
Mariners 5, Cubs 4
Randy Arozarena hit two home runs — including a walk-off two-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning — and robbed another as Seattle rallied for a victory against visiting Chicago.
Arozarena led off the bottom of the first and ended the bottom of the ninth with homers, and leaped at the wall to bring back what would’ve been a solo shot from the Cubs’ Miguel Amaya in the third. Arozarena’s heroics prevented prized prospect Kade Anderson from taking a loss in his major league debut. The No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft went 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on five hits.
Alex Bregman and Michael Busch hit back-to-back homers in the sixth to give the Cubs a 3-2 lead and end Anderson’s debut. Chicago left-hander David Peterson gave up two runs on four hits in his return to the rotation.
Brewers 4, Braves 1
Jake Bauers blasted a two-run homer to cap a three-run third inning for Milwaukee in its win against visiting Atlanta to clinch the series between division leaders.
Brewers starter Logan Henderson (8-2) allowed one run and five hits over six innings in the second game of the three-game series. William Contreras contributed two hits, drove in a run and scored once for Milwaukee, which has won six of seven to maintain the best record in MLB (81-49).
Braves left-hander Martin Perez (8-8) was victimized by his own fielding error in the third, which led to three unearned runs. He gave up one earned run and four hits over four innings. Michael Harris II had two hits and an RBI for Atlanta, which has lost five of six.
Marlins 4, Nationals 2
Heriberto Hernandez slugged his team-leading 19th homer, and Eury Perez continued his stellar pitching as host Miami continued its dominance of Washington.
Jakob Marsee also homered for the Marlins, who are 7-1 against the Nationals this season and will try for a three-game sweep on Sunday. Perez (7-9) allowed three hits and two runs (one earned) in five innings.
Washington, playing without three of its top offensive players, scored its two runs on a Miami error and Dylan Crews’ RBI double. Jake Irvin (2-8) took the loss, allowing six hits and four runs in six innings while losing his four straight decision.
Phillies 12, Cardinals 3
Andrew Painter pitched a career-high seven innings and Bryce Harper hit a three-run homer to fuel Philadelphia to its eighth straight win, a rout of visiting St. Louis.
Painter (3-8), who has struggled for most of his rookie season, allowed one run and five hits without a walk, striking out eight. While Harper provided the big blast, the Phillies also received two RBIs apiece from Edmundo Sosa, Bryan De La Cruz and Kyle Schwarber, who hit his major league-leading 38th home run.
J.J. Wetherholt’s 17th home run was one of the few highlights for the Cardinals. Quinn Mathews (0-2) was charged with seven runs and 10 hits in five innings for St. Louis, which needs to win Sunday to avoid a sweep and falling back to .500 on the season.
Orioles 3, Rays 2 (10 innings)
Pinch hitter Dylan Beavers doubled in the winning run as Baltimore beat visiting Tampa Bay to clinch the weekend series.
Samuel Basallo drilled a two-run homer with one out in the eighth inning to pull the Orioles even at 2-2 and Baltimore’s relievers were stout after Brandon Young allowed two runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. Rico Garcia (5-1) worked a scoreless 10th with an assist from his defense, which threw out automatic runner Richie Palacios at the plate.
Liam Hicks homered for the American League-best Rays, who are 2-7 across their last nine games. Bryan Baker (1-2) took the loss, facing just one batter in the bottom of the 10th. Shane McClanahan threw five shutout innings in his second game since coming off the injury list.
Mets 10, White Sox 5
Luis Robert Jr. haunted his former team by hitting two homers as visiting New York outlasted Chicago in the middle game of a three-game interleague series.
Robert, who played his first six seasons with the White Sox before being traded to the Mets on Jan. 20, homered off Luis Castillo (4-10) in the third and Huascar Brazoban in the seventh. Bo Bichette, Carson Benge and Luis Torrens also homered for New York, which improved to 12-5 since the trade deadline.
Braden Montgomery and Tristan Peters homered for the White Sox, who dropped to 8-10 since the deadline. Austin Warren (2-3), the third of five Mets pitchers, was credited with the win after he tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
Guardians 4, Rockies 3
Jo Adell homered and singled, backing six solid innings from Tanner Bibee, and Cleveland beat Colorado in Denver.
Jose Ramirez singled to move into fifth place on the franchise’s hits list with 1,752, according to the team. Cleveland’s victory, coupled with a loss by Texas on Saturday night, puts the Guardians into a tie with the Rangers for the third and final American League wild-card berth. The Guardians have won three in a row. Bibee (5-13) allowed two runs on five hits.
Mickey Moniak homered, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston had two hits each and rookie right-hander Gabriel Hughes (0-5) remained without a big-league victory in nine appearances (eight starts) for Colorado. The Rockies have lost five in a row and eight straight at home.
Padres 7, Twins 5
Ty France’s RBI single capped a four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning that helped San Diego rally for a win over visiting Minnesota.
The rally started with the Padres down 5-2. Griffin Canning (4-9) pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen for the win and Mason Miller locked down the ninth for his 32nd save in 33 chances. Starter Casey Mize lasted only 2 2/3 innings before leaving with a right ankle injury. He allowed four hits and four runs.
Minnesota starter Dean Kremer lasted 5 1/3 innings, permitting three hits and two runs. Jackson Merrill got San Diego on the board in the bottom of the second with his 20th homer.
Dodgers 4, Pirates 3
Kyle Tucker hit a go-ahead two-run single in the fifth inning, Tarik Skubal had 11 strikeouts over seven innings and Los Angeles rallied for a victory over visiting Pittsburgh.
Teoscar Hernandez and Alek Thomas each had RBI singles for the Dodgers, who extended their winning streak to five games for their longest run since a six-game streak in May. Skubal (8-7) gave up all three of his runs allowed in the first inning before recovering to earn his first win in four starts since joining the Dodgers from the Detroit Tigers just before the trade deadline.
Oneil Cruz had a two-run triple and Los Angeles-area native Jared Jones gave up two runs on three hits over four innings as the Pirates fell to 0-2 at the start of a nine-game road trip.
Royals 3, Tigers 1
Michael Wacha allowed one run over seven strong innings, Kyle Isbel and Salvador Perez each hit a solo homer and host Kansas City extended its season-high winning streak to seven games with a victory over struggling Detroit.
Wacha (7-8) yielded only a home run to Hao-Yu Lee and two other hits. Alex Lange pitched a perfect eighth inning and Craig Kimbrel overcame a two-out walk and a balk in the ninth to record his first save since 2024 for the Royals, who are 6-0 on a seven-game homestand. Isbel homered in a second straight game for Kansas City, which has hit five solo home runs in the first two games of this series.
Drew Anderson (4-5) was charged with three runs, while also allowing all five of the Royals’ hits, in five-plus innings for the Tigers, who lost their fourth straight and seventh in the last eight games.
Athletics 4, Astros 3
Lawrence Butler laced a run-scoring single that highlighted a three-run eighth inning and helped carry the visiting Athletics to a victory over Houston.
The Athletics snapped a five-game skid by answering the Astros’ two-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning. Jeff McNeil ignited the comeback with a leadoff single against Astros reliever Bennett Sousa (1-2), who then walked Zack Gelof to put the tying run on base. Jacob Lopez recorded his sixth consecutive start of at least five innings with two or fewer runs allowed.
Astros starter Hunter Brown allowed seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. He induced three double plays to navigate the traffic.
Red Sox 3, Giants 2
Eli White slid home with the winning run on Wilyer Abreu’s fielder’s choice, as host Boston erased a 2-0, ninth-inning deficit and walked off with a win over San Francisco.
With the bases loaded, Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge made a great diving stop on Abreu’s low liner, but his throw pulled catcher Andrew Knizner’s foot off home plate as he tried to complete the force play.
White broke San Francisco’s shutout bid with a one-out single up the middle off Sam Hentges (1-6), scoring Caleb Durbin, who went 2-for-3 before drawing a leadoff walk that sparked the game-turning rally. Nick Sogard followed immediately with a game-tying double to left. Wyatt Olds (1-0) recorded four outs to nab his first career victory in his third contest.

MIYU YAMASHITA EXPANDS LEAD AT CPKC WOMEN’S OPEN
Japan’s Miyu Yamashita moved closer to her fourth career win on Saturday in Edmonton, carding a 5-under-par 65 at the CPKC Women’s Open.
Her day included six birdies and a solitary bogey at Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
That performance expanded her five-shot lead to six, as she improved to 19 under for the tournament.
“I like this course, yeah,” Yamashita said.
Yamashita, 25, has already recorded three victories in a span of less than 13 months, following up her 2025 AIG Women’s Open victory as a rookie with two more victories in 2026, including the Meijer LPGA Classic this past June.
Americans Gina Kim and Jennifer Kupcho made matching impressive pushes on Saturday, as each carded a 64.
That score was good enough to land Kim in a tie for second with Japan’s Yuri Yoshida (66) at 13 under. Kim’s day included seven birdies (including five over a seven-hole stretch) and a bogey.
“I thought I played really solid all day. Hopefully, tomorrow it can be the same way,” Kim said.
Kupcho is alone in fourth place at 12 under after her bogey-free round.
“I kind of have a lot of power coming out of the rough, so if I hit it in the rough, it’s not like the end of the world,” Kupcho said.
Yoshida put together a hot streak with birdies on three straight holes (3-5), but cooled off some after that, balancing two more birdies against a bogey.
South Korea’s Somi Lee shook off a double bogey on the par-5 No. 12 to card a 65, good enough to put her into fifth place at 11 under.
Local fans got a special thrill as the best round of the day was turned in by Canadian amateur Aphrodite Deng, who went bogey-free with seven birdies to record a 63.
Deng’s big day propelled her into a tie for sixth place with South Korea’s Sei Young Kim (64), China’s Ruoning Yin (68) and American Kiara Romero (69).
“It feels so great, and I’m so grateful for all the support,” Deng said. “Every time I play this event there is like so many people out here supporting me.”

RYAN ARMOUR SURGES INTO LEAD AT ROGERS CHARITY CLASSIC
Despite shooting a 7-under-par 63 to grab the lead at the Rogers Charity Classic, Ryan Armour afterward was still dwelling on the hole that got away on Saturday in Calgary, Alberta.
The hole in question, the par-4, 490-yard 15th at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, tormented Armour into a double bogey, briefly dropping him to 5 under for the day.
But Armour rallied, sinking birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 to get back to 12 under for the tournament, a stroke ahead of the field.
“It was going nice,” Armour said. “But it’s golf. It’s 18 holes, it’s 54 holes out here. Bad things are going to happen and you’ve gotta adjust. You gotta make some birdies. You’ve gotta go out there and play well.”Olympics news
Multiple players posted impressive rounds on Saturday, pushing Armour to acknowledge that closing out a victory won’t be easy.
“Guys shot 61s and (62s) today … people can come from four or five (shots) back and make a run at you, so you’ve got to go out and play well.”
One of those 61s belonged to second-place Steven Alker of New Zealand, who was 9 under on his way to 11 under for the tournament.
Alker’s day included an eagle on the par-5 11th. He added eight birdies and one bogey.
First-day leaders Richard Green of Australia and Rob Labritz of the United States are part of nine-player tie at 10 under in a tie for third place. Green, last year’s champion, and Labritz matched scores for the second straight day, shooting identical 67s.
They’re joined by Zach Johnson (62 on Saturday), Bo Van Pelt (62), J.J. Henry (62), Brian Gay (64), Michael Block (65), Australia’s Michael Wright (64) and Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez (66).
Mike Weir remains the top scoring Canadian at PGA Tour Champions’ only Canada event after two rounds. He’s tied for 18th at 7 under.

MICHAEL LA SASSO (66) HOLDS 1-SHOT LEAD AT LIV GOLF INDIANAPOLIS
Michael La Sasso, a 22-year-old rookie seeking his first pro victory, vaulted into a one-shot lead after 54 holes with a third-round, four-under-par 66 on Saturday at LIV Golf Indianapolis.
La Sasso, who sits at 13 under par entering the final round, sank five birdies and an eagle to overcome a pair of bogeys at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Ind.
In his 12th start on the LIV Tour and 13th as a pro, La Sasso leads by one over first-round leader Laurie Canter of England (68 on Saturday), Belgium’s Thomas Detry (68), England’s Richard Bland (65) and Australian Cameron Smith (67).
“I played really well today,” La Sasso, a native of Raleigh, N.C., who played one season at North Carolina State before tranferring to Ole Miss, where he won the 2025 NCAA individual championship. “It’s enjoyable getting paired up with Wolffy (Matthew Wolff). We play a lot of golf back in Jupiter (Fla.) together. When I saw we were paired up, I was pretty ecstatic about that, and he definitely brought the vibes out there today, so it was good.”
Coming off an impressive second-round 10-under 60 that placed him in a tie for fifth, La Sasso opened the back nine with a bogey sandwiched between two birdies, then shot an eagle on the par-5 14th hole.
“There’s a lot of young guys doing a lot of good stuff,” La Sasso said about potentially earning his first pro victory in the last event of the season. “I’m friends with pretty much all of them. I would say it definitely fuels the fire.
“There’s been countless guys that I played with in college that have already won professionally now, so if I could add my name to the resume, that would be pretty sweet.”
Bland, 53, also seeking his first victory with LIV Golf, tied for the best round of the day while sinking seven birdies, though he did falter on the par-4 6th hole with a double bogey. Afterward, the Englishman praised the American rookie currently holding the lead.
“The youngest and the oldest, yeah,” Bland said, referring to La Sasso and himself. “I’m sure he’ll be 50 yards past me off the tee. He’s a great kid. I’ve played with Michael a couple of times this year. You can see he’s got a huge amount of talent. He’s got a great future in front of him, wherever that future is. I’m sure he’s going to be a star of the future.”
Canter, 36, who has won twice on the European Tour (2024, 2025), has posted back-to-back 2-under 68s and is pleased to be in the running after a strong start to the third round, sinking two birdies in the first four holes.
“I got off to a really good start today,” Canter said. “Three-under on the front nine, which I think statistically is the tougher nine. Yeah, I was really happy with how I played 6 and 8. They’re pretty difficult holes and got through those with a couple of good pars and managed to pick three up. … Yeah, I’m in the tournament tomorrow. Got a chance.”
Bubba Watson (67), Spain’s Sergio Garcia (66) and Josele Ballester (65) and South Korea’s Younghan Song (65) are tied for sixth at 11 under, one shot ahead of Spain’s Jon Rahm (66), Bryson DeChambeau (67) and four others.
Second-round leader Richard T. Lee, a wild card from Canada, stumbled in the third round, shooting a 3-over 73 and tumbling into a tie for 23rd.
As for the team portion of the event, Legion XIII, captained by Rahm, holds a one-shot lead over HyFlyers GC, with La Sasso and Scott Vincent (66) of Zimbabwe leading the way.

COLTS FOOTBALL
(COLTS RELEASE)
The Colts opened their home preseason slate Saturday, dropping the matchup with the Atlanta Falcons 34-6.
Once again, the main conversation surrounding Saturday’s game was the backup quarterback battle. Riley Leonard led the offense in the first half, going 7/14 for 62 passing yards and recovered a fumble. Anthony Richardson Sr. tapped in in the second half, completing three of his nine passes for 24 yards.
Second-year receiver Coleman Owen led the team in receiving, accounting for 39 yards on one catch. Running back Anderson Castle was the Colts’ lead rusher, with 41 yards on eight carries
The linebackers led the way on defense, with Austin Aijake and Jaylon Carlies each tallying six total tackles. Rookie LB CJ Allen made his horseshoe debut and racked up three total tackles. Fellow rookie LB Bryce Boettcher recorded four tackles.
Following a week he made a 61-yard field goal, Spencer Shrader seemingly didn’t lose a step. He went 2/2 on field goals, including kicks made from 48 and 53 yards. Blake Grupe came in to kick in the second half, where he missed his lone attempt from 36 yards out.
############
The Colts have a little over a week until rosters must be cut down to 53 players by 6 p.m. on Aug. 30.
But leading up to that date, the team has been firm in something they want for their roster – and that’s having three quarterbacks on it.
Daniel Jones will be one of them, of course. And as Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr.’s battle to back up Jones continued with Saturday’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, the scenario in which both quarterbacks are on the Colts’ 53-man roster is becoming more and more realistic.
Richardson, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick, submitted a trade request to the Colts in the spring, and general manager Chris Ballard said in July that request remains active. But Richardson very much has a chance to win the Colts’ backup gig; even the team goes with Leonard, Richardson could still have value to a team that needed three different starting quarterbacks in 2025.
And Richardson, to his credit, is focused on doing whatever the Colts need.
“I’m just looking forward to helping the team,” Richardson said. “They truly believe that I have a chance to be on this squad and I love that. I just want to be able to contribute, put my best foot forward and help the team win.”
Richardson on Saturday played the entire second half of the Colts’ 34-6 loss to the Falcons, completing three of nine passes for 24 yards and rushing three times for 15 yards. It wasn’t the efficient 11/14 showing Richardson had last week against the New England Patriots, but the entire Colts’ offense struggled on Saturday while being staffed with exclusively second- and third-stringers.
Head coach Shane Steichen pointed to the Colts’ going 1/11 on third downs between halves quarterbacked by Leonard and Richardson.
“We weren’t staying on the field, we weren’t converting,” Steichen said. “We’ve got to be a lot better in a lot of situations.”
Richardson will get back to work at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center with one more week of practice and one more game left until the Colts make a decision on their 53-man roster. And, as has been the case even after his trade request, he’s done so without mentally having one foot out the door; instead, he’s committed to bettering himself and the Colts however he can.
“Whenever I go out there and get my reps, make them count and execute,” Richardson said. “Just do my job the best way I can and protect the ball and manage the game.”

Indy (30-19, 61-63) pitchers did their part to keep Louisville within reach, led by Hunter Barco’s 4.0 innings, four strikeouts and only allowed one earned run. Barco has surrendered only two earned runs during his last 14.1 innings pitched.
Indians relievers combined to hold Louisville to only one more run in the last five innings and gave up only four more hits. Michael Darrell-Hicks and Evan Sisk followed to throw 2.0 innings combined and only allowed one hit with one strikeout coming from Darrell-Hicks. Beau Burrows (W, 5-2) earned the win and Isaac Mattson went 2.0 innings, but gave up the one additional run with two strikeouts.
Mitch Jebb went 2-for-4 at the plate and Brannigan ended the night 2-for-3 to power the Indy bats. Simon went 1-for-2 with two walks.
Louisville (17-32, 56-66) was first to score in the top of the fourth inning when outfielder Will Benson singled to center, stole second on the next pitch and was later driven home for the first run of the game on a Dominic Pitelli base hit. Pitelli scored the second run in the seventh inning on a slow roller to third base off the bat from outfielder Noelvi Marte to give the Bats its largest lead at 2-0.
Louisville’s scheduled starter Brandon Leibrandt was a late scratch and RHP Kevin Abel took the hill for the Bats to start the game. Abel went 4.0 innings, struck out five batters and only gave up three hits on short notice. Anthony Misiewicz (L, 2-2) ended the game walking two batters and gave up the decisive winning run.
The six-game series between Indianapolis and Louisville continues Saturday at 6:35 PM ET. LHP Connor Wietgrefe (4-3, 3.20) is scheduled to start for the Indians and LHP Brandon Williamson (1-1, 7.11) will start for Louisville tomorrow night.

INDY ELEVEN
Indianapolis – Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake scored his 45th USL Championship goal to give the Boys in Blue a 2-1 victory over Eastern Conference rival Louisville City FC in front of 9,542 fans at Carroll Stadium.
Captain Aodhan Quinn started the game-winning sequence with the match tied 1-1 in the 60th minute, creating some space in the midfield to curl a through ball between two defenders to Blake. Blake played a quick touch to forward Edward Kizza who gave it right back and Blake took a touch to his right to create space for a 25-yard strike that tucked inside the left post. It is Blake’s franchise-best 29th Indy Eleven goal, his third in USL-C play this season, and the fourth in all comps in 2026. Kizza recorded his second assist of the campaign.
Bruno Rendon put the Boys on Blue on top in the 31st minute off an assist from Quinn. Midfielder Cam Lindley started the play by sliding to deflect a pass in the center circle to Quinn. Off the bounce, Quinn one-timed a through ball to Rendon on the right side. Rendon headed it down and with a defender closing on him, fired a sharp-angle shot low and hard inside the far post to give his team a 1-0 lead.
It is Rendon’s team-high eighth goal in USL-C play and his 10th in all competitions this season. It is Quinn’s team-best fourth assist in league play, his fifth in all comps in 2026, and the 65th of his USL Championship career. He is now one assist behind all-time leader Kenardo Forbes (66).
Boys in Blue goalkeeper Eric Dick matched his season high with seven saves to increase his career total to 307 in USL-C regular-season play, good for 18th on the league all-time list.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer hits the road for the first time in the regular season on Sunday, when the Screaming Eagles visit Purdue University Fort Wayne for a Noon CT kickoff.
USI Women’s Soccer (0-2-1) heads into its road opener following a season-opening three-match homestand. USI fell to the University of Akron and Middle Tennessee State University after opening the season with a 0-0 draw against Wright State University.
Last time out, the Screaming Eagles narrowly fell to Akron, 2-1. After a scoreless first half, Akron struck first in the second half before USI quickly answered with a penalty-kick goal by junior defender Emma Schut, the first goal of the season for USI. Akron went on to score the game-winning goal inside the final 10 minutes. USI outshot Akron 18-9 overall and 10-6 in shots on goal.
Individually, sophomore midfielder Olivia Hass paced the Screaming Eagles with four shots and three on goal. Four others recorded multiple shot attempts in the match. Freshman midfielder Liza Anderson, junior defender Ava Hess, and junior forward Josie Pochocki each had two shots with a shot on target.
Overall, graduate forward Payton Seymour is USI’s leading shot taker of the season with seven shots through three matches. Pochocki is right behind with six shots taken. Hass tops the squad with four shots on goal in five total shot attempts.
Between the posts, sophomore goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach has 11 total saves this season, including four in the last match against Akron, with a 1.33 GAA and one clean sheet on the season log.

1907 – The Pirates top the Giants, 4 – 2 in ten innings, then win the second game, 1 – 0, when Howie Camnitz spins a five-inning no-hitter. The Bucs score when Ed Abbaticchio singles home Honus Wagner, who had singled and stolen second base. The Giants also lose Frank Bowerman, hit on the head by a Camnitz pitch. The doctors predict that the burly catcher will miss the season, but he is back in action in three days.
1909:
In the first game of a doubleheader, Brooklyn swipes six bases in a 7 – 0 win over the Cards, who steal two bases. With lefthander Jim Pastorius pitching in the second game, Brooklyn C Bill Bergen then throws out six (erroneously listed as seven) of eight base-stealing Cardinals in a 9 – 1 St. Louis victory. Bergen’s mark is a 20th century high, twice tied in 1915.
It’s a day for thievery as the Cubs steal home three times in a game at Boston, tying a major league mark. They waste no time, as Johnny Evers and Del Howard do it in the 1st inning, and Solly Hofman in the 2nd. Chicago wins, 11 – 6.
1910:
Left fielder Fred Clarke makes a record-tying four OF assists for Pittsburgh against the Phils, as the Bucs win 6 – 2. The Pirates get one more for a National League record five outfield assists.

In St. Louis, the league-leading Cardinals go to 78-44 by sweeping the Braves. The Birds pound Boston, 16 – 1, in the opener as Chick Hafey drives in eight runs on 5 for 5 hitting, including two home runs. One of the homers is a grand slam. St. Louis takes the nitecap, 1 – 0, in 11 innings, winning on Jim Bottomley’s home run.
Lefty Grove is frustrated in his effort to win a record-breaking 17th game in a row, as Jimmy Moore misjudges a routine fly ball by Ski Melillo, turning it into a two-out double, to allow the game’s lone run. The volatile Grove is outraged and unforgiving, not at Moore, but that Al Simmons, the regular OF, missed the game. Dick Coffman of the Browns allows just three hits to win, 1 – 0. The A’s win the nightcap, 10 – 0, behind Waite Hoyt’s six-hitter.
1932 – The Cubs have only one assist in a 5 – 1 win, sweeping the Phillies in four straight. The fielding mark equals the major-league record.

Cub pitchers Claude Passeau and Lon Warneke each toss 3 – 0 shutouts against the Reds while Red Sox hurlers Tex Hughson and Joe Dobson whitewash the A’s, winning 2 – 0 and 7 – 0.
Walter Johnson pitching to Babe Ruth is the pregame attraction that draws 69,000 for the New York-Washington game at Yankee Stadium that provides $80,000 for Army-Navy relief. Ruth hits the fifth pitch into the right-field stands, and then adds one more shot before circling the bases. Sixteen relief games contribute $523,000 during the season. In the doubleheader between the Senators and the Yankees, the Senators win the opener, 7 – 6 and New York cops the nitecap, 3 – 0, in 5 1/2 innings.
At Ebbets Field, the Dodgers sweep two from their cross-town rivals. In the first game, the Giants take a 4 – 2 lead in the 10th on Johnny Mize’s two-run home run, only to see Dolph Camilli hit reliever Harry Feldman’s first pitch for a grand slam and give Dem Bums a 6 – 4 win. In the second game, the Dodgers score two in the 5th to take a 7 – 5 lead in a game halted by darkness. The Dodgers now lead St. Louis by 7 1/2 games.

1956 – Led by Nellie Fox’s seven straight hits, the White Sox sweep the Yankees. Mickey Mantle has a bunt single, triple and home run in the 6 – 4 nightcap loss but trails Fox in season hits, 158 to 155. But the Mick still leads in the Triple Crown race.
1957 – Angel Macias, a 12-year-old righthander from Monterrey, Mexico, hurls a perfect 12-inning game over La Mesa, CA, striking out 11 to win the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. In the tourney before Williamsport, Macias also pitched lefthanded.
1958 – In a 10 – 1 win over Milwaukee, Gil Hodges hits his 14th career grand slam to establish a new National League record.
1959 – The Pirates take a doubleheader from the Dodgers, beating Don Drysdale in both games. As a starter, Drysdale loses the opener, then relieves in the second game. In the 10th inning, with runners on first and third and two out, Drysdale hands out an intentional pass to get to Dick Groat, who singles in the winning run.
1960:
Following up his no-hitter, Lew Burdette fires his third shutout in a row, pitching the Braves to a 7 – 0 win over the Dodgers. The Braves stroke five homers.
In Baltimore, the Tigers win their seventh straight game, defeating the Orioles 5 – 3 on Charlie Maxwell’s 11th inning home run. It is Maxwell’s fifth extra-inning home run of the season, extending his own major league record.
1961 – Third-place San Francisco pulls within four games of first place with a 14 – 0 rout of the Reds, putting the game away with a record-tying salvo of five home runs in the 12-run 9th inning. Home runs by six different Giants tie the major-league record for a nine-inning game. San Francisco’s 27 total bases in the 9th inning are a modern major league record. Juan Marichal is the winner in the cakewalk, his seventh straight win.
1962:
The Reds rack up 21 hits in routing the Cubs, 14 – 3.
Steve Boros matches the American League record for most errors in an inning by a third baseman with 4, but Detroit beats Cleveland, 8 – 5, as Al Kaline hits two home runs.
1963:
1B Lee Thomas of the Angels ties a major-league record by participating in six double plays in a 17 – 0 romp at Washington. 3B Felix Torres starts four of them to tie a record. Ken McBride is the recipient of the outburst while Steve Ridzik is the loser.
Milwaukee’s Warren Spahn sets a modern National League record — his 601st start surpassing Grover Alexander — while going all the way to defeat the Dodgers for his 343rd career win, but only after spending the better part of the day in Los Angeles filming what will prove to be the first and last performance of his acting career, on the popular World War II-set TV series, Combat. Spahn, himself a decorated veteran and avowed fan of the series, appears in an uncredited but heavily publicized bit part as a German patrolman. As one refreshingly frank TV critic will warn us prior to the November 5 air date, “This is Warren Spahn’s much-heralded appearance as a German soldier. If the National League saw as little of him as you will, he probably never would have won a game.”
1964:
Mets pitcher Willard Hunter picks up half his career wins (4) today as New York sweeps the Cubs, 2 – 1, in ten innings, and 5 – 4 in the nitecap. No one has ever won a pair more efficiently as he totals 1 2/3 innings of work. Bob Buhl and Don Elston pick up the losses. The Cubs lose Ernie Broglio, who woke up with a locked elbow and will need surgery to repair the ulnar lateral ligament damage in his elbow. He’ll be 1-6 in 1965.
New York tops host Boston, 4 – 3, as Mickey Mantle starts the scoring with a two-run homer in the 3rd inning off Earl Wilson. The Yankees will win 26 of their next 33 games to secure their last pennant of the decade.
1968 – Stan Bahnsen outpitches Earl Wilson to give the host Yankees a 2 – 1 win over Detroit. The two teams then battle for 19 innings, before the second game is suspended by curfew with the score 3 – 3. The game will be finished tomorrow. In the long tie, Lindy McDaniel retires 21 straight Tiger batters, six on strikeouts. In his last three relief appearances, he has retired 30 batters in a row.
1970:
Roberto Clemente compiles his second straight five-hit game during an 11 – 0 pasting of Los Angeles. He is the first major leaguer this century to collect ten hits in two consecutive games. Quoth Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh: “Ten hits in two games! When I was playing, that was my quota for a month.”
Don Gullett strikes out six straight batters and pitches four innings with no runners reaching base in beating the host Mets, 7 – 5. Gullett strikes out eight in the last four innings. The Reds win on Jimmy Stewart’s three-run pinch homer off Tom Seaver.
1972:
Chicago’s Dick Allen becomes the fourth major league player (Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, and Alex Johnson are the others) to hit one into the center field bleachers in Comiskey Park when he connects off New York’s Lindy McDaniel. The two-run homer in the 7th ices the 5 – 2 win for the Sox. This year, all the Chicago Wednesday games are in the afternoon, and Harry Caray announces them while sitting in the bleachers. Allen’s drive misses Caray by just a few rows.
Kansas City’s Roger Nelson shuts out the Red Sox, 3 – 0. Ben Oglivie’s single in the 8th is the only hit off Nelson.
1975:
The Reds score eight times in the 5th inning to wipe out a 4 – 0 deficit and whip the Padres, 12 – 7.
Champ Summers and Rick Monday hit pinch home runs for the Cubs, but the Astros win the game, 14 – 12.
1977:
Behind Mickey Rivers’ 5-for-5 contribution to an 8 – 3 whipping of the White Sox, the Yanks take over first place in the American League East. With the Red Sox losing, the Yankees go ahead by a half game and will stay in first place to the end.
Dave Goltz one-hits the Red Sox to give the Twins a 7 – 0 win. Jim Rice hits a single in the 4th for the only safety.
1979:
At Cleveland, the A’s Rick Langford gives up six hits and six runs in the 1st inning, including a grand slam to Andre Thornton and a solo blast by Ron Hassey. He then allows just one hit over the next eight innings, and the A’s come back to win, 8 – 6.
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn slaps Padres owner Ray Kroc with a $100,000 fine for tampering, following remarks Kroc made about potential free agents Joe Morgan and Graig Nettles.
1980 – A’s owner Charlie Finley sells the club for $12.7 million to the Haas family of San Francisco, CA, owners of the Levi Strauss clothing empire, thus keeping the team in Oakland.
1982:
Gaylord Perry of the Mariners is ejected from the game for applying a foreign substance to the ball. Although the right-hander has been suspected for years of loading up the baseball, it is the first time he has been caught by the umpires.
Days after challenging the Reds’ “no facial hair” policy, P Jim Kern finds himself a member of the Chicago White Sox. The Reds receive IF Wade Rowdon and OF Leo Garcia in return.
1983:
At Wrigley Field, Reds rookie Jeff Russell beats Fergie Jenkins and the Cubs, 4 – 2. Russell adds his only career home run. Dave Concepcion is called out on a steal attempt, and then is tossed out for arguing with umpire Dave Pallone. He also gets suspended for three days for allegedly spitting on Pallone during the argument.
Kansas City’s Amos Otis notches his 2,000th career hit, a single in a 10 – 2 win over the White Sox.
1985 – Joaquin Andujar becomes baseball’s first 20-game winner this season, beating Atlanta 6 – 2 for the Cardinals. Andujar is the first National League pitcher to post consecutive 20-win seasons since Joe Niekro in 1979-1980.
1989 – Rick Dempsey homers off Dennis Martinez in the top of the 22nd inning to break up a scoreless tie and give the Dodgers a 1 – 0 win over the Expos. The game features one thumbing – the umps toss the Expos’ mascot, Youppi!, in the 11th for annoying Tommy Lasorda after he carries a pillow and sleeps on the home dugout roof, where the umps have restricted him. In the 16th, Larry Walker apparently scores the game-winner on a sacrifice fly, but the Dodgers appeal that he left his base early – with two umps in the tunnel – and get the play reversed. Eddie Murray in the 18th moves the second base ump and slams a drive that Walker traps off the padding in RF. Fans stand for three “seventh-inning stretches” during the major-league record (in time, and for a 1 – 0 game) 6 hours, 14 minute game. Other club records are set and several major league records are noted: most innings (22) without a walk by the Expos tops the Pirates (who used one pitcher) against the Giants, July 17, 1914.
1991 – The Rangers’ 6 – 1 win over the Royals is marked by an unusual play in the 8th inning. Kansas City 2B Terry Shumpert is charged with a four-base error when he collides with RF Danny Tartabull while going back on a short fly hit by Juan Gonzalez. Gonzalez and the two runners in front of him score as the ball rolls all the way to the warning track.
1992:
In a Class A Florida State League game, Andy Carter of the Clearwater Phillies defeats Scott Bakkum of the Winter Haven Red Sox, 1 – 0. Neither team gets a hit in what is believed to be the first double no-hitter in the minors in 40 years.
In his last outing as a Met, David Cone (13-7) gives up four runs in seven innings in losing to the Padres, 4 – 3. Cone gives up just three hits. Mets Bobby Bonilla homers in his fourth consecutive game, tying the club mark.
1993 – Toronto OF Joe Carter slugs three home runs in the Blue Jays’ 9 – 8 loss to the Indians. It is the fifth time in his career that he has homered three times in a game, setting an American League record.
1994 – The Butte Copper Kings end Billings’ 15-game winning streak in a Pioneer League game by a score of 22 – 21. The game sees a total of 43 runs, 53 hits, and seven errors recorded.
1996 – The Yankees obtain P Graeme Lloyd and former Rookie of the Year Pat Listach from the Brewers in exchange for OF Gerald Williams and pitcher Bob Wickman. Lloyd is put to work and provides late-inning relief as the first-place Yankees beat the A’s, 5 – 3. The Yanks will officially complain to the American League that the Brewers sent damaged goods in the two players, but the complaint is ignored. However, the Brewers will take back Listach and send Ricky Bones to the Yanks on the 29th. The Yanks will file a grievance over Lloyd’s injury next month.
1997 – For the second day in a row, Rangers LF Rusty Greer hits a pair of home runs and posts six ribbies, doing so in today’s 13 – 8 win over Chicago.
1998:
Giants OF Barry Bonds hits his 26th homer, the 400th of his career, off Kirt Ojala of the Marlins in the Giants’ 10 – 5 victory. He thus becomes the first player in major league history with more than 400 career home runs and 400 career steals.
The Pirates defeat the Cardinals, 4 – 3, despite five hits, including a home run, by St. Louis 3B Fernando Tatis. Mark McGwire also hits his 53rd homer for the Cards.
Leadoff man Craig Biggio’s double, two home runs, and six RBIs pace the Astros to a 13 – 3 victory over the Cubs. C Brad Ausmus also contributes to the cause with four hits and five ribbies for Houston. OF Sammy Sosa hits a pair of homers for Chicago, giving him 51 on the year.
At County Stadium against the Padres, Bob Hamelin hits his fourth pinch-hit home run of the season. It is the most pinch-hit home runs hit by a Brewer player in a season.
1999:
The Padres defeat the Phillies, 7 – 6. Philadelphia 3B Scott Rolen strikes out five times in the game.
Joining Babe Ruth and Mark McGwire, Mariner outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. becomes the third player in major league history to hit 200 homers in a four-season span. Junior’s 39th helps Seattle beat the Indians, 4 – 1.
The Yankees score six runs in the 1st inning on their way to a 21 – 3 victory over the Rangers. 3B Scott Brosius (6) and C Joe Girardi (7) – the eighth and ninth batters in the New York lineup – drive in 13 of the Yankee runs. Derek Jeter scores his 100th run of the year, the first Yank to string together four straight seasons of 100+ runs since Mickey Mantle did it in nine straight seasons (1953-1961).
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig announces that Pete Rose will be invited to the World Series if he is elected to the All-Century Team. Rose has been banned from baseball since 1989.
2000:
Los Angeles Dodgers team president Bob Graziano apologizes to a female couple who were asked to leave Dodger Stadium on August 8th because the two shared a kiss during a game. The pair felt the action of the eight security guards was discriminatory because the couple’s friends, a man and a woman, also kissed but were not ejected.
At Comerica Park, fans flee their seats as swarms of small insects invade the stands during the 1st inning. The six-legged pests do not affect the players, and the game continues uninterrupted with the Tigers edging the Mariners, 6 – 5.
2001:
In a 6 – 2 loss to the Blue Jays, it is a busy night for Twins CF Torii Hunter. Hunter throws out consecutive runners Darrin Fletcher and Homer Bush, both trying to stretch singles. Later in the inning he bobbles a ball for an error. Roy Halladay is the winning pitcher.
Barry Bonds and Shawon Dunston of the San Francisco Giants become just the 12th pair of teammates to hit back-to-back homers as pinch hitters when they go deep in the top of the 9th. Bonds’ pinch homer is his first since 1989 and snaps a 5 – 5 tie. It is also his 549th home run, moving him ahead of Mike Schmidt into eighth place. The Giants win, 10 – 5.
The Pirates defeat the Diamondbacks, 5 – 1, despite a 16-strikeout performance in seven innings of work by Randy Johnson. In doing so, Johnson ties Nolan Ryan as the only ones in history to fan 300 in three straight seasons.
2002:
Cleveland’s rookie C Josh Bard hits a game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning against Seattle in his first major league appearance. He has two hits and three RBIs as the Tribe wins, 4 – 2.
The Padres score nine runs in the 5th inning on their way to an 18 – 2 win over the Marlins. Bubba Trammell, who has two homers in the game, starts the scoring in the 5th with a homer. Seven players have RBIs in the 5th, and the last 11 hitters come up with the bases loaded. Jake Peavy is the easy winner.
Bobby Abreu hits a solo homer in the 14th to give the Phillies a 5 – 4 win over the Cards in 5 hours, 13 minutes. Scott Rolen is 4 for 5 in his first appearance against his old team.
The Orioles spot the Blue Jays six runs and then roar back with four homers to win, 11 – 7. The win puts Baltimore (63-63) at .500. From here on it will be all downhill.
2003 – In front of a full house at Yankee Stadium, Ron Guidry’s uniform number 49 is retired on the lefty’s special day. “Louisiana Lightning”, who played his entire career with New York posting a 170-90 record for the Bronx Bombers, is surprised the club hasn’t just honored him with a day but has retired his jersey and placed a plaque in Monument Park in his honor.
2008:
South Korea beats Cuba, 3 – 2, in the Gold Medal game at the 2008 Olympics to take the title. Seung-yeop Lee hits a two-run homer for South Korea while Michel Enríquez and Alexei Bell deliver solo shots for Cuba. Yong-kyu Lee doubles home Jin-man Park in the 7th for the key run. Hyun-jin Ryu lasts into the 9th but leaves with the bases loaded, one out and slugger Yulieski Gourriel at the plate. Tae-hyun Chong relieves and retires Gourriel on a double play to end it.
Team USA tops the Japanese national team, 8 – 4, in the Bronze Medal game, the second time in the last three Olympics that Japan’s stars failed to take a medal of any kind. Home runs by Matt LaPorta, Matthew Brown and Jason Donald provide six of the US runs but Taylor Teagarden’s two-run double is the big blow. Norichika Aoki and Masahiro Araki homer for Japan. Kenshin Kawakami takes the loss against Brett Anderson.
2009:
2B Eric Bruntlett snags a line drive from Jeff Francoeur and turns an unassisted triple play in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Philadelphia Phillies’ 9 – 7 win over the New York Mets at Citi Field. It is only the second game ever to end on such a defensive gem, after Johnny Neun pulled off the feat on May 31, 1927.
Michael Cuddyer hits two home runs in the same inning, becoming the first member of the Minnesota Twins and the 53rd major league player to do so. The Twins defeat Kansas City, 10 – 3.
Down 6 – 5 in the 9th, the US rallies to beat Cuba in the 2009 World Youth Championship. The US ties Cuba at four Gold Medals, the most in the history of the World Youth Championship to this point. LF Austin Cousino is named MVP.
2010:
The Rangers come within two outs of throwing the sixth no-hitter of the season with a collective effort against the Twins. Rich Harden, Matt Harrison, Darren O’Day and Neftali Feliz keep Minnesota hitless into the 9th inning, until Joe Mauer singles with one out. Feliz then finishes the 4 – 0 win. Harden has to leave the game after 6 2/3 innings as he is coming off the disabled list and has already thrown 111 pitches by that point.
Brandon Morrow, no stranger himself to having a no-hitter broken up in the 9th, has another strong outing against the Yankees, although reliever Scott Downs is credited with the 3 – 2 Blue Jays win. The game is decided in the 8th when José Bautista hits his second home run of the game, off David Robertson, to break a 2 – 2 tie. Bautista is the first player to reach 40 homers this year.
The Rays take advantage of the Yankees’ loss to catch them for the AL East lead, by defeating the Angels, 4 – 3. Rafael Soriano strikes out the side on 9 pitches in the 9th to earn his 38th save.
2011:
In a trade of infielders, the Diamondbacks send their starting 2B, Kelly Johnson, to the Blue Jays in return for 2B Aaron Hill and veteran John McDonald. Both Johnson and Hill have struggled with low batting averages this year; Johnson has shown more power, but Hill and McDonald are both outstanding defensive players.
The Braves ride a five-run 5th inning, highlighted by Jason Heyward’s first career grand slam, to a 5 – 4 win over the Cubs. Craig Kimbrel ties the major league rookie record for saves, set last season by Neftali Feliz, by notching his 40th. Aramis Ramirez has the first five-hit game of his career in a losing effort.
2012:
The Rays move within 2 1/2 games of the Yankees in the AL East as Alex Cobb pitches a four-hitter for his first major league shutout, beating the Athletics, 5 – 0. Tyson Ross is called up from AAA to start for Oakland in place of Bartolo Colon, who was handed a 50-game suspension for PED use yesterday.
The Angels win a Fenway Park slugfest, 14 – 13, with a pair of 10th-inning runs. Boston grabs a 6 – 0 lead against C.J. Wilson after two innings, but Los Angeles replies with an eight-run 3rd inning, chasing Franklin Morales. The Red Sox then blow a 9 – 8 lead in the 7th, and an 11 – 9 lead in the 9th. In that frame, closer Alfredo Aceves surrenders a lead-off homer to Vernon Wells that bounces on the line marking the top of the Green Monster and back onto the field; replays clearly show it never left the park, but Boston fails to ask for a review. In the 10th, Kendrys Morales hits a solo homer off Aceves to start the inning, but it’s an insurance run scored by Erick Aybar on a double by Wells that proves to be the difference, as Boston claws back a run and the game ends with Dustin Pedroia, representing the tying run, on first base.
2014 – Less than a week after the first successful protest in 28 years, the Rays file one of their own after today’s 5 – 4, extra innings loss to the Blue Jays. Rays manager Joe Maddon objects to a ruling by crew chief Bob Davidson in the 4th inning, who allows a video review on a pick-off play even though Blue Jays P Mark Buehrle has already stepped on the pitching rubber and the batter was in the batter’s box. The review is successful, giving the Jays a key out. The rule states that a play should no longer be reviewable at that point, although the final decision is left to the crew chief. Major League Baseball Vice-President Joe Torre agrees to hear the protest – a rare step in itself – but on August 26th, it will be denied as the umpires acted within the margin of discretion granted them.
2017 – Rich Hill of the Dodgers pitches nine no-hit innings against the Pirates at PNC Park – but has nothing to show for it. Carrying a perfect game through eight innings, Hill loses that bid when the Pirates’ lead-off batter in the 9th, Jordy Mercer hits a hard smash to third that Logan Forsythe fails to field, being charged with an error. Hill retires the next three batters however, but with the Dodgers having failed to score all day, he is back on the mound for the start of the 10th and Josh Harrison hits a walk-off homer that barely reaches the seats, handing him a 1 – 0 loss instead of a place in history.
2019 – For the second time this year, Jacob deGrom strikes out at least 13 batters and also homers in a game, limiting the Braves to one run over seven innings. However, his long ball is the only offense for the Mets tonight, who go on to lose the game, 2 – 1, in 14 innings on Billy Hamilton’s first hit with Atlanta. DeGrom records his 200th K of the year in the game, as New York’s pitchers combine for a total of 26, tying the major league record for an extra-inning game. Before deGrom did it twice in a season, no pitcher had ever struck out 13 or more batters and homered in the same game more than once in his career. For Atlanta, Ronald Acuna becomes the second youngest player to record a 30-30 season, after Mike Trout.
2021 – The two hottest teams in the majors meet in an interleague game when the Braves host the Yankees at Truist Park, with both teams having won their last nine games, something that had not happened in 120 years. It’s the visitors who have the upper hand, winning, 5 – 1. Giancarlo Stanton and Dansby Swanson trade solo homers in the 2nd, then Stanton drives in two runs with a two-out double in the 6th to provide the winning margin.
2023:
With the first three-homer game of his career, Aaron Judge single-handedly leads the Yankees to a 9 – 1 win over the Nationals. His second homer of the night is a grand slam and he drives in six runs as the Bronx Bombers put an end to a nine-game losing streak.
The Angels get a double dose of bad news as they announce that two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will not pitch again this year after being diagnosed with a ligament tear in his elbow, and that OF Mike Trout will need to return to the injured list after only one game back from a broken hamate bone in his left hand that had sidelined him since early July.
2024 – Shohei Ohtani becomes the sixth member of the highly exclusive 40-40 club and does so in 21 fewer games than anyone before him and in truly spectacular fashion. Facing the Rays in the Dodgers’ 126th game this year, he first steals his 40th base in the 4th inning, then comes up in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded and hits a walk-off grand slam off Colin Poche for his 40th home run, giving L.A. a 6 – 3 come-from-behind win.
2025 – Behind the pitching of Garrett Crochet, the Red Sox defeat the Yankees, 12 – 1, at New Yankee Stadium, for their eighth straight win over their long-time rivals. The Sox are now one and half game in front of New York in second place in the AL East. With 11 strikeouts in seven innings, Crochet becomes only the fourth pitcher in Red Sox history with 200 Ks in a season, joining Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez and Chris Sale.
