MLB ROUNDUP: CUBS BLAST TEAM-RECORD 8 HRS TO BEAT CARDS

The Chicago Cubs set a franchise record by bashing eight home runs in a single game on their way to an Independence Day annihilation of the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, winning 11-3 on Friday.

Michael Busch enjoyed his first career three-homer game, and Pete Crow-Armstrong provided his 22nd and 23rd dingers of the season. Dansby Swanson and Busch went back-to-back off reliever John King in the seventh inning to break the team record.

The Cubs raced out to a 7-0 lead with six home runs in the first three innings. Seiya Suzuki and Crow-Armstrong both went yard in the first inning, Busch and Carson Kelly took a turn in the second for a 4-0 advantage, and Crow-Armstrong and Busch pummeled pitches 414 and 428 feet, respectively, in the third.

Miles Mikolas (4-6) served up those six home runs on his way to a forgettable Fourth of July. He stayed in for six innings, yielding eight runs on 10 hits without a walk. The veteran right-hander had never given up more than four homers in a game.

The run support was a welcome sight for Colin Rea (6-3), the Cubs starter whose only hit allowed over 6 2/3 innings was a fourth-inning solo shot by Brendan Donovan. Rea struck out four and walked two.

Red Sox 11, Nationals 2

Trevor Story homered among four hits, Lucas Giolito pitched into the eighth inning, and visiting Boston routed Washington.

Story added three singles, drove in four runs and scored three for Boston, which won for the third time in four games. Jarren Duran had two hits and three RBIs for the Red Sox, who collected four hits on the day.

Michael Soroka (3-6) was charged with seven runs on nine hits in four-plus innings for the Nationals. Washington’s Daylen Lile extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a ninth-inning RBI double.

Reds 9, Phillies 6

Spencer Steer reached base four times, drove in two runs and scored twice as visiting Cincinnati topped Philadelphia in a matinee.

Steer’s two hits and two walks highlighted a productive offensive day for Cincinnati, which has won back-to-back games after losing four of its previous six contests. Elly Da La Cruz added two hits and two RBIs for the Reds, while Tyler Stephenson and TJ Friedl each notched a pair of hits.

The Phillies jumped out to an early lead with three runs in the first inning against Reds starter Andrew Abbott. Alec Bohm’s sacrifice fly opened the scoring before Castellanos delivered a two-run homer.

However, Cincinnati responded with a run in the second, followed by a five-run rally in the third inning.

Mets 6, Yankees 5

Juan Soto went 3-for-4 with two RBIs for the Mets, who rallied past the visiting Yankees in the opener of a three-game Subway Series.

Trailing by one in the seventh and with Pete Alonso on, Jeff McNeil mashed a changeup into the second deck in right field off reliever Luke Weaver (1-3) to put the Mets in front 6-5. Mets reliever Huascar Brazoban (4-2) tossed a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win, and Reed Garrett did the same in the eighth and ninth for the save

Jasson Dominguez homered twice and Marcus Stroman allowed three runs on seven hits across five innings for the Yankees, who have lost five straight.

Twins 4, Rays 3

Harrison Bader hit two home runs, including a walk-off blast to lead off the bottom of the ninth, to lift Minnesota to a win over Tampa Bay in Minneapolis.

Bader belted the first pitch he saw in the ninth to clinch the win for the Twins, who scored the final three runs of the game. Byron Buxton doubled and drove in a run for Minnesota.

Josh Lowe and Junior Caminero each went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Tampa Bay. Yandy Diaz doubled and drove in a run.

Mariners 6, Pirates 0

Cal Raleigh hit two home runs, his major league-leading 34th and 35th of the season, as Seattle defeated visiting Pittsburgh in the opener of a three-game interleague series.

Randy Arozarena and Dylan Moore also went deep and Bryan Woo (8-4) pitched six scoreless innings for Seattle, which snapped the Pirates’ six-game winning streak. Raleigh tied the franchise record for most before the All-Star break, established by Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998.

Pirates starter Bailey Falter (6-4) allowed just three hits over 5 2/3 innings, but all of them cleared the outfield fence. Falter gave up four runs (three earned). The Pirates’ pitching staff, which shut out St. Louis in each of the previous three games, had a 31-inning scoreless streak snapped.

Orioles 3, Braves 2

Jordan Westburg returned from a lingering hand injury to hit a home run, leading visiting Baltimore to a win over Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series.

Baltimore starter Charlie Morton (5-7), who missed his previous turn in the rotation because of elbow tendinitis, returned to face his former team. The veteran pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed two runs on six hits. Morton has won five consecutive decisions.

Atlanta starter Spencer Strider (3-7) went six-plus innings and allowed three runs on seven hits with one walk and six strikeouts. He has lost his past two outings despite making quality starts each time.

Tigers 2, Guardians 1

Wenceel Perez and Zach McKinstry hit solo home runs and four Detroit pitchers combined for a nine-hitter in a victory over free-falling host Cleveland.

Perez went deep in the third and McKinstry cleared the fence in the fourth, both off Guardians starter Slade Cecconi (3-4) in the series opener. Tyler Holton (4-3) earned the win with 2 2/3 scoreless innings of one-hit relief and Will Vest pitched the final four outs for his 14th save in 17 opportunities.

All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez homered in the first for defending AL Central champion Cleveland, which lost its eighth straight and is 1-9 since June 23. The Guardians matched their longest skid since 2021. Ramirez homered in the first to put Cleveland ahead 1-0, snapping an 0-for-21 streak that equaled the longest of his career.

Brewers 6, Marlins 5

Jackson Chourio stroked a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning, leading visiting Milwaukee past Miami in the opener of a three-game set.

No. 8 hitter Caleb Durbin had a strong game for the Brewers, going 2-for-3 with two steals, two runs, one RBI and one walk.

Otto Lopez homered and drove in three runs to lead Miami, which has lost two out of three following an eight-game winning streak.

Padres 3, Rangers 2 (10 innings)

Jake Cronenworth delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning as San Diego rallied for a win over visiting Texas.

Manny Machado homered for the Padres, and he and teammates Luis Arraez, Gavin Sheets and Trenton Brooks each had two hits. Adrian Morejon (5-3) pitched the top of the 10th to earn the win over Robert Garcia (1-4).

Marcus Semien hit a two-run double for the Rangers, whose two-game winning streak ended.

Blue Jays 4, Angels 3 (10 innings)

A throwing error on Ernie Clement’s 10th-inning bunt allowed the winning run to score as Toronto defeated visiting Los Angeles for their sixth straight victory.

After Nathan Lukes led off the 10th with a walk, Clement dropped a bunt. Angels reliever Sam Bachman (1-2) threw wildly to first, and automatic runner Myles Straw scored.

The Blue Jays extended their lead in the American League East to two games over both the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Jo Adell had a three-run homer and a double to extend his hit streak to 15 games for the Angels, who have alternated wins and losses for eight games.

White Sox 3, Rockies 2

Adrian Houser tossed a season-high eight innings, Edgar Quero hit his first major league home run, and Chicago beat Colorado in Denver.

Houser (4-2) allowed two runs, both unearned, and struck out six. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings.

Mike Tauchman had two hits against his former team, Miguel Vargas also contributed two hits and Grant Taylor got the final three outs for his third save for Chicago. The White Sox snapped a three-game skid.

GUARDIANS’ LUIS ORTIZ SUBJECT OF MLB GAMBLING INVESTIGATION, PLACED ON LEAVE, AP SOURCES SAY

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz is the subject of a Major League Baseball gambling investigation and was placed on non-disciplinary leave Thursday, two people with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press.

The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity due to the nature of the investigation.

The investigation is related to in-game prop bets on two pitches thrown by Ortiz that received higher activity than usual during his starts at Seattle on June 15 and his recent outing against St. Louis on June 27. The gambling activity on the pitches was flagged by a betting-integrity firm and forwarded to MLB.

ESPN reported the firm IC360 recently also sent an alert to sportsbook operators regarding Ortiz.

The Athletic was the first to report that Ortiz’s suspension was related to gambling.

MLB said Ortiz’s paid leave is through the end of the All-Star break, when players return to their teams July 17 and games resume the following day. It can be extended if the investigation remains ongoing.

Chris Antonetti, Cleveland’s president of baseball operations, said before Thursday night’s game at the Chicago Cubs that the team can continue to have contact with Ortiz, but he can’t enter any of the Guardians’ facilities. Ortiz returned to Cleveland on Wednesday night.

Ortiz was slated to be the starting pitcher for Thursday night’s series finale. Instead, left-hander Joey Cantillo was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. Cantillo is 1-0 with one save and a 3.81 ERA in 21 appearances this season.

“We learned very little last night, but knew we needed to get someone here today to start today’s game, and that really was our focus,” Antonetti said. “A lot has come out today, and that’s far more information than we have.

“Our focus is we’ll let the investigative process play out. To the extent Major League Baseball or anyone needs our support in that, we will obviously cooperate. But beyond that, there’s really not much we can do.”

Manager Stephen Vogt said he and Antonetti addressed the team about Ortiz’s situation and tried to answer questions the best they could.

It is another setback for a Guardians squad that has dropped a season-high six straight games and is 9-18 since May 1.

“Honestly, when I got the news yesterday I didn’t know how to feel,” Vogt said. “There’s so much unknowns with this, but you know what? Every team goes through adversity, maybe different kinds, but this is a resilient group. I’ve been through situations similar to this before in my career as a player, and what would I have wanted to hear? How would I want the manager to have reacted, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

The 26-year old Ortiz is in his first season with Cleveland after he was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh last December. The right-hander is 4-9 with a 4.36 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 16 starts this season. The nine losses are tied for the most in the American League.

In four big-league seasons, Ortiz is 16-22 with a 4.05 ERA and one save.

The investigation into Ortiz comes a little more than a year after MLB suspended five players for gambling, including a lifetime ban for San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano. MLB said Marcano placed 387 baseball bets totaling more than $150,000 with a legal sportsbook in 2022 and 2023.

Athletics pitcher Michael Kelly and three minor leaguers — San Diego pitcher Jay Groome, Arizona pitcher and Philadelphia infielder José Rodríguez — received one-year suspensions.

Umpire Pat Hoberg was fired by Major League Baseball in February for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to the league’s investigation.

RANGERS REINSTATE CARTER FROM BEREAVEMENT LIST, DESIGNATE MCKINNEY FOR ASSIGNMENT

The Texas Rangers reinstated outfielder Evan Carter from the bereavement list before Friday’s series opener against the San Diego Padres and designated outfielder Billy McKinney for assignment.

Carter started in center field and batted fifth against the Padres.

He was placed on the bereavement list prior to Tuesday’s game against Baltimore, although he missed Monday’s game as well. He last played on Sunday against Seattle, when he went 3 for 4 with two stolen bases and a run scored. The 22-year-old is hitting .283 with four home runs, 11 RBIs and eight steals in 32 games.

The Rangers have seven days to trade, release, or outright McKinney to the minor leagues. He went 1 for 7 with a walk in two games after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

YANKEES PITCHER CLARKE SCHMIDT GOES ON INJURED LIST AND HEADS FOR SCAN OF FOREARM

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt was placed on the 15-day injured list because of right forearm soreness on Friday, one day after his start at Toronto was cut short following three innings.

A 29-year-old right-hander, Schmidt was set to have an MRI on Friday.

New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Right-hander Clayton Beeter had been optioned to the RailRiders after replacing Schmidt on Thursday night and taking the loss in the 8-5 defeat as the Yankees were swept in a four-game series against the Blue Jays and dropped out of the AL East lead.

Schmidt allowed three runs, four hits that included George Springer’s two-run homer and two walks. He said he’s been dealing with soreness in his arm since his June 4 outing against Cleveland.

“Earlier on in the game it felt OK,” Schmidt said. “As the game progressed it sort of tightened up a little bit on me. … Just pitch to pitch I didn’t feel 100%. I felt like the whole night I was kind of guarding it a little bit on the breaking balls, really not ripping them or trying to get a lot behind them.”

Schmidt had Tommy John surgery in May 2017, a month before the Yankees selected him with the 16th overall pick in the amateur draft. In his sixth major league season, he is is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts.

Schmidt left a June 21 start against Baltimore after a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.

“Any time you’re getting an MRI on your forearm, or whatever the body part is, you’re not feeling happy about it,” Schmidt said. “I’m praying everything is going to be clean and minor. We’ll see what happens.”

Right-hander Luis Gil, sidelined since straining his right lat during spring training, will throw either a third batting practice session on Tuesday or Wednesday, or start a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment.

Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, threw to hitters on June 21 for the first time since getting hurt. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the 27-year-old right-hander will throw 45-50 pitches.

“I’m not sure if it’s a three-up live because sometimes we like them to get to that number in a more controlled environment just so we don’t have to pull a plug,” Boone said.

Right-hander Ryan Yarbrough, out since June because of a strained right oblique, has not started throwing.

“I think he’s getting close to playing catch, but he has not started playing catch yet,” Boone said.

ORIOLES OF TYLER O’NEILL (SHOULDER) REINSTATED FROM IL

The Baltimore Orioles reinstated outfielder Tyler O’Neill from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

O’Neill, whose last at-bat was May 15, has been limited to 24 games this season due to neck inflammation and more recently a left shoulder impingement.

The 30-year-old is batting .188 with two home runs and 10 RBIs this season. He signed a three-year, $49.5 million deal with the Orioles in December after spending the 2024 campaign with the American League East rival Red Sox. He hit .241 with 31 home runs and 61 RBIs in his lone season in Boston.

In 614 games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018-23), Red Sox and Orioles, O’Neill, 30, has 111 homers to go along with 288 RBIs. He is a career .244 hitter and has is a two-time Gold Glove recipient.

On Thursday, the Orioles optioned Dylan Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk. Carlson, 26, was batting .234 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 41 games.

IN six seasons, Carlson has a career batting average of .237 with 41 homers and 187 RBIs in 525 games with the Cardinals (2020-24), Tampa Bay Rays (2024) and Orioles.

Baltimore opens a three-game series against the Braves on Friday in Atlanta.

METS ADD RELIEVER JOSE BUTTO (ILLNESS) TO LENGTHY INJURED LIST

The New York Mets placed right-hander Jose Butto on the 15-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified illness.

The move is retroactive to Tuesday for the 27-year-old reliever, who is 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 31 relief appearances.

He joins a crowded injured list that already includes 12 other Mets pitchers, including Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea.

Butto is 10-8 with a 3.13 ERA and four saves in 71 career games (15 starts) since making his debut with New York in 2022.

The Mets recalled right-hander Chris Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place on the 26-man roster.

Devenski, 34, has no decisions and a 3.60 ERA in four relief appearances this season, his first with the Mets and 10th in the major leagues.

CUBS PLACE RHP JAMESON TAILLON (CALF) ON INJURED LIST

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right calf strain.

Manager Craig Counsell told reporters he expects Taillon to be sidelined for more than a month for an injury that occurred during a between-start workout.

The IL designation is retroactive to Tuesday.

Taillon, 33, is 0-3 with a 10.66 ERA in his last three starts, allowing six home runs in 12 2/3 innings. For the season, Taillon is 7-6 with a 4.44 ERA in 17 starts.

Chicago recalled left-hander Jordan Wicks from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Wicks, 25, made two appearances out of the Cubs’ bullpen in April and went 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA. He made 11 of his 12 appearances at Iowa as a starter, going 1-3 with a 4.06 ERA.

REDS ACTIVATE 3B NOELVI MARTE, RHP GRAHAM ASHCRAFT

The Cincinnati Reds activated third baseman Noelvi Marte and reliever Graham Ashcraft from the injured list Friday.

Marte, 23, has been on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain sustained in early May. He batted .294 with three homers and 17 RBIs in 19 games before the injury.

Marte started at third base and batted seventh in Friday afternoon’s game at Philadelphia.

Ashcraft, 27, was on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain and hasn’t pitched since June 15. The right-hander is 5-4 with a 4.19 ERA in 29 relief appearances this season.

In corresponding transactions, the Reds optioned infielder/outfielder Ryan Vilade and right-hander Sam Benschoter to Triple-A Louisville.

NBA NEWS

REPORT: SUNS DISCUSSING BUYOUT WITH G BRADLEY BEAL

The Phoenix Suns are discussing a possible buyout with veteran guard Bradley Beal, the Arizona Republic reported.

Beal, who turned 32 last month, has two years and nearly $111 million remaining on his contract, per Spotrac.

The three-time All-Star signed a five-year, $251 million deal with a no-trade clause in July 2022 when he was still with the Washington Wizards.

Beal has been limited to 53 games in each of his two seasons with the Suns, and he has not played as many as 60 games in any season since 2020-21.

Beal averaged 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 53 games (38 starts) last season. He has career averages of 21.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 801 games (752 starts) with the Wizards and Suns.

Washington drafted Beal with the No. 3 overall pick in 2012. His 31.3 scoring average in 2020-21 was the second-highest in franchise history and second-highest in the NBA that season behind Golden State’s Stephen Curry (32.0).

MAGIC RE-SIGNING C MORITZ WAGNER TO 1-YEAR, $5M DEAL

The Orlando Magic are re-signing center Moritz Wagner to a one-year, $5 million contract, ESPN reported Friday.

Wagner, 28, averaged a career-high 12.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 30 games (one start) with Orlando in 2024-25.

He underwent season-ending surgery after tearing his left ACL in a Dec. 21 game against the Miami Heat.

The 6-foot-11 Wagner has career averages of 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 363 games (57 starts) with four teams.

The German international’s younger brother, Franz, is under contract with the Magic through the 2029-30 season.

NHL NEWS

JONATHAN TOEWS IS GRATEFUL AND EXCITED TO PLAY AGAIN AFTER SIGNING WITH HIS HOMETOWN WINNIPEG JETS

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Jonathan Toews is back in the NHL with his hometown Winnipeg Jets after a two-year absence.

The three-time Stanley Cup champion was introduced Friday as the newest member of the Jets, donning a jersey with his signature No. 19 at a team news conference.

The Jets announced their intention to acquire the 37-year-old center last month, but it only became official this week, with Toews signing a one-year deal worth $2 million, plus performance bonuses tied to games played and playoff success.

The longtime Chicago Blackhawks captain last played in April 2023. On Friday, he told reporters he was just grateful for the opportunity to return to the ice, let alone with his hometown club in front of friends and family.

“It’s an honor and one that has really lit that fire again, that excitement for the game,” Toews said.

“You have these moments throughout your career where I don’t want to say you get jaded, but you get used to it, and you kind of settle in. This is another moment that kind of brings me back to that new feeling like you’re getting drafted again.”

Chosen one of the NHL’s top 100 players from its first 100 years, Toews played 15 seasons with the Blackhawks and was one of the faces of the franchise. He also helped Canada win gold at back-to-back Olympics in 2010 and ’14.

Toews stepped away from hockey two years ago citing the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and long COVID-19. His exit coincided with Chicago trading fellow star Patrick Kane and going into a full-scale rebuild.

Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff called Toews’ signing an exciting day for Winnipeg and said it’s something he’s been thinking about making happen for more than a decade.

Cheveldayoff, an assistant GM in Chicago when Toews and the Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup, said that when he joined the Jets the following year, he and team co-owner Mark Chipman mused about the possibility of seeing Toews in a Winnipeg jersey one day.

“At that point in time it was merely a dream or a concept,” Cheveldayoff said. “Last week, when we finalized everything, I sent Mark a text, and it said ‘Toews is a Jet.’ It was an emotional feeling.”

“One of the most decorated hockey players in Manitoba history is coming home.”

Toews is joining a Jets team that’s coming off a Presidents’ Trophy-winning season as the NHL’s top regular-season club. Earlier this week, Winnipeg lost a key offensive piece when winger Nikolaj Ehlers signed a six-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes.

NASCAR NEWS

NASCAR’S SHANE VAN GISBERGEN IS HOPING FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

CHICAGO (AP) — The first time Shane van Gisbergen raced in Chicago, he was largely unknown in NASCAR. The second time, he was one of the favorites on the downtown street course.

The third time is a different situation for van Gisbergen once again. This time, he has a second Cup Series victory in his back pocket — providing some flexibility for the 36-year-old New Zealand native as he prepares for the playoffs.

“We’re in a nice position now having won a race,” van Gisbergen said Friday. “And it may change our strategy. If we’re in a position to get a playoff point, we’ll probably try and get that, but that’ll put us deep in the field for the next stage. So yeah, there’s a bit of a toss-up there what we’re going to do, but it’s a nice position to be in.”

Sure is.

Just two years ago, van Gisbergen — a three-time champion in Australia’s Supercars — put on a dazzling show in a rainy first edition of NASCAR’s downtown Chicago experiment. Making the most of his extensive street racing experience, he became the first driver to win his Cup Series debut since Johnny Rutherford in the second qualifying race at Daytona in 1963.

He won Chicago’s Xfinity Series stop last year and the first stage in the Cup race before he was knocked out by a crash.

“You know, I have great memories here,” van Gisbergen said. “This place has changed my life, so I’m going to have special memories of this place forever.”

Van Gisbergen’s success in Chicago led to a full-time Cup ride with Trackhouse Racing. But the driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet is learning his way around NASCAR and he got off to a slow start this season.

While oval tracks remain a challenge, he certainly hasn’t forgotten his roots on street and road courses. He posted his second Cup win last month at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.

Van Gisbergen is scheduled to compete in both Chicago races this weekend. Next up for NASCAR is another road course at Sonoma Raceway, providing an opportunity to move up from No. 32 in the Cup standings and build up some momentum.

“Road courses are just a bonus for us,” he said. “We know we’re going to be good and we can just focus on trying to get results there.”

Even after two years, the downtown Chicago street course remains a tricky proposition. The 12-turn, 2.2-mile track is narrow and bumpy in spots — to go along with manhole covers, and transitions from concrete to asphalt and back — and there is little room for error in some areas. Rain affected the action in each of the first two weekends, and there could be more showers on Sunday.

Patience is sometimes the best approach, but that only goes so far in NASCAR.

“It’s easy to say that until Shane is out there a second faster than you and you have to go put yourself in some uncomfortable situations,” said Joey Logano, the reigning Cup Series champion.

When it comes to van Gisbergen on road courses, Logano said the rest of the Cup Series is “in a way, playing catch-up.” Van Gisbergen said he feels the same way about ovals.

“These guys have been doing left-handers since they were 10 years old,” van Gisbergen said. “You know, they’re two completely different sports, and although there has been road racing in NASCAR forever, it’s not that much. So yeah, just the experience levels are different in what we do. And I feel like, yes, they’ve definitely gotten a lot better since the first one on this track, for sure.”

STUBBS: NASCAR VALUES CHICAGO STREET RACE, BUT WILL IT STAY PAST ’25?

As NASCAR prepares to return to the streets of Chicago this weekend, the talk surrounding the race isn’t focused on the on-track action. Instead, fans, industry members and citizens of the Windy City are wondering about Chicago’s future in NASCAR beyond 2025.

The expanse of NASCAR’s original three-year deal with the city of Chicago to hold a street race has come and gone. The deal included two mutual options that will determine whether Chicago will continue to be NASCAR’s home for street racing.

The future of NASCAR in Chicago will be determined by a plethora of factors. It’s worth noting that Lori Lightfoot, the Chicago mayor who was in office when the deal was struck in 2022, is no longer in charge. Instead, it’s Brandon Johnson who could play a major role in the race’s future. Johnson’s senior adviser, Jason Lee, recently praised NASCAR for its community involvement and its dedication to improving the Chicago Street Race — a slight turn from Johnson’s attitude a year ago, when he had little to say about the future of the event.

But politics and positive reviews can only go so far in determining NASCAR’s actions. From a marketing and racing perspective, NASCAR will have to weigh what the Chicago Street Race can provide the sport that other new potential marquee races — whether street races or something else entirely — can’t.

That’s especially important to consider given reports of a potential street race in San Diego or a potential trip to Franklin Field in Philadelphia, where NASCAR would presumably host another stadium race similar to Los Angeles’ Clash at the Coliseum.

Chicago, the third-largest metro area in the country, was undeniably a fantastic choice for NASCAR to hold its first street race. But after two race weekends that have been plagued by rain and a third trending in the same direction, fans have yet to see what a full-fledged race weekend uninterrupted by weather would look like.

If NASCAR believes it can attract a similar demographic of fans to the nearby Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. — a track that hasn’t been on the schedule since 2019 but would likely put on a phenomenal show, given the Next-Gen car’s affinity for wider intermediate tracks – then pulling the plug on the street race in favor of a purpose-built racing facility could make more sense.

If NASCAR believes the street race concept can attract new or casual fans in a new setting — aka San Diego — then swapping cities could also be a possibility.

“Whether it be Chicago or somewhere else, I don’t really have a preference,” 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney said in July 2024 regarding street racing in NASCAR. “It’s really whatever city will have us. I think it could be neat, as far as (going) to these major markets of huge cities around the country.”

Perhaps the biggest thing going against Chicago right now is the fact that, in its current state, NASCAR is bolder and more innovative with scheduling decisions than ever before. Gone are the days of stale schedules with few changes and a multitude of mediocre tracks receiving two race dates (which also makes it unlikely that NASCAR would put two street races on the calendar, a suggestion made by Chicago Street Race president Julie Giese).

Over the last seven years, NASCAR has returned to Bowman Gray Stadium and turned Bristol into a dirt race. It’s taken a race to the Los Angeles Coliseum and turned Charlotte’s playoff date into a road course race. And it’s ventured to the streets of Chicago for a discipline of racing once thought to be a world away from stock cars.

But that also means NASCAR isn’t afraid to axe races from the calendar in a relatively abrupt manner. It isn’t always an indictment on the race that’s nixed, but an example of how proactive and assertive NASCAR is when it comes to modern scheduling.

Chicago has been a successful event from the standpoint that NASCAR proved street racing to be a viable avenue for the sport. But if greener pastures are to be found in San Diego, NASCAR is going to have to make the tough decision to move on in favor of another new, trendy race that could be categorized as a modern crown jewel.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it proves that NASCAR has the leverage to host major events and the ability to play around with where and when those major races are held. The Chicago Street Race is, by design, a marquee event, but one that can be swapped out for another marquee event as NASCAR sees fit.

Time will tell whether or not NASCAR returns to Chicago after 2025, but ultimately, NASCAR’s decision to either return to the streets of the Windy City or leave for greener pastures won’t be a shocking one either way the pendulum swings.

ROGER PENSKE HAS NEW LEADERSHIP IN INDYCAR TEAM AFTER LATEST CHEATING SCANDAL AT INDY 500

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Team Penske has new leadership structure atop its IndyCar and sports car programs in the wake of its latest cheating scandal that engulfed the organization at the Indianapolis 500.

Jonathan Diuguid has been promoted to president of Penske Racing, and Travis Law has been named competition director for Penske Racing. Diuguid and Law have a combined 38 years of experience at Team Penske. Diuguid and Law will oversee the Team Penske teams competing in IndyCar as well as Porsche Penske Motorsport, which races in both IMSA and the World Endurance Championship series.

“After two decades working for Roger Penske, I truly know and understand what the Penske name means in the world of motorsports,” Diuguid said. “The best way I know to show my appreciation to him for his trust is to ensure our success continues well into the future.”

Roger Penske fired his top three executives at Team Penske after two of the Penske cars were found to be illegal.

Team president Tim Cindric, IndyCar managing director Ron Ruzewski and IndyCar general manager Kyle Moyer were fired in May in the wake of this Indianapolis 500 cheating scandal.

Penske is owner of the three-car team, IndyCar, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500. He has won the Indy 500 a record 20 times.

Penske shook up his race team leadership after two-time Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden and teammate Will Power were found to have an illegally modified spec part on their cars ahead the final round of qualifications for the 109th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

Cindric and Ruzewski already had been suspended by IndyCar for the race and both teams fined $100,000. It was the second consecutive year Cindric and Ruzewski were suspended from the Indy 500.

DOUG GHIM CLINGS TO ONE-SHOT LEAD AT JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

Doug Ghim shot a 3-under-par 68 and held onto a one-stroke lead over Max Homa and a group of contenders at the John Deere Classic on Friday in Silvis, Ill.

Homa is part of a five-way tie for second after also posting a 68 late Friday afternoon at TPC Deere Run. He matched Ghim at 12 under with a birdie at the par-5 17th hole, but after finding a bunker off the 18th tee he failed to save par and dropped back a shot.

Ghim, a 29-year-old Illinois native, is hoping to land his maiden PGA Tour victory in his home state.

“They couldn’t make it today but I’m anticipating family coming (Saturday), and I’m excited about that,” Ghim said.

Ghim made an eagle for the second straight round, holing out from 179 yards away at the par-4 15th.

“I guess holing out two days in a row is always nice,” he said. “It’s been couple years since I think I holed out from the fairway. To get two back-to-back days is a great.”

He reached 13 under for the tournament with back-to-back birdies at Nos. 4-5, but Ghim bogeyed his closing hole, No. 9.

Homa entered the week an abysmal No. 122 in the FedEx Cup standings amid a disappointing season, but now he’s in the mix for his first win since 2023.

“I don’t think really much changes” on the weekend, Homa said. “I mean, just play the golf course. You’re going to have to shoot really low. If you went out there and tried to do something specific, I’m not so sure that is going to work. Somebody can go out there and shoot 11-under out there and jump everybody.

“So just go do what we did today and play another round of golf. Just keep waiting until the back nine on Sunday basically.”

The round of the day belonged to defending champion Davis Thompson, whose bogey-free 63 catapulted him to 11 under. Tied with Homa and Thompson are Brian Campbell (66), David Lipsky (67) and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo (66).

“(On Thursday) I hit a lot of great putts early but they were just burning the edges,” said Thompson, who made four birdies on each nine Friday. “Then I was able to make a few on the back nine (Thursday) and just ride that momentum into today.”

Colombia’s Camilo Villegas (66) and Si Woo Kim of South Korea (67) are part of a group at 10 under as the second round finished up late Friday.

Rickie Fowler dropped four shots in a four-hole span on his back nine, with two bogeys and a double bogey, but he birdied No. 17 to finish up a 1-over 72 and get to 5 under, which wound up being the cut line at the end of the day.

Notable names who missed the cut included Tom Kim of South Korea (4 under), Australian Jason Day (2 under), J.T. Poston (1 under) and Canadian Adam Hadwin (2 over).

GAME PREVIEW:

The red-hot Fever look to continue their winning ways on Saturday when they welcome the Los Angeles Sparks to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the second game of a season-long five-game homestand. The Fever have won three straight games, including a win in Minnesota on Tuesday for the Commissioner’s Cup championship.

Indiana’s defense has been excellent lately. The Fever limited the league-leading Lynx to just 39 points over the final three quarters on Tuesday, then held Las Vegas to 26.2 percent shooting in an 81-54 rout of the Aces on Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Fever have won three in a row despite All-Star point guard Caitlin Clark missing all of those games with a groin injury. Kelsey Mitchell has averaged 23 points over the three victories, All-Star center Aliyah Boston has averaged 17.7 points and 8 rebounds, and veteran Natasha Howard has recorded three straight double-doubles.

The Sparks have the second-worst record in the WNBA, but they did hand the Fever their last loss, outscoring Indiana 35-17 in the fourth quarter of an 85-75 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on June 26. That is Los Angeles’ lone win in its last seven contests.

Kelsey Plum leads the Sparks in scoring, averaging 20.1 points and 5.7 assists in her first season in Los Angeles. Dearica Hamby adds 16.9 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, while Azura Stevens contributes 14.4 points and 8.3 boards per contest.

CAITLIN CLARK TO MISS FIFTH STRAIGHT GAME FOR FEVER VS. SPARKS

The Indiana Fever ruled Caitlin Clark out for Saturday’s home game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to her lingering left groin injury.

Clark will sit out for a fifth straight game and miss her 10th game of the season, including the Commissioner’s Cup final Tuesday, when Indiana toppled the league-leading Minnesota Lynx 74-59.

The Cup final does not count toward the regular-season standings, but nonetheless, the Fever have won three straight games during Clark’s absence.

Indiana coach Stephanie White said at the time of Clark’s injury that it was “very much a day-to-day thing.” After Saturday, the Fever are off again until a home date with the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.

Clark, 23, sat out five games due to a left quad injury before returning to action against the New York Liberty on June 14. The second-year guard is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games (all starts) this season for Indiana

Clark won Rookie of the Year honors and made the All-Star and All-WNBA teams in 2024-25 following a record-setting career at Iowa.

Sulte “Team of the Round”, “Save of the Round” nominee

Indy Eleven goalkeeper Hunter Sulte has been selected to the USL Jägermeister Cup Team of the Round for round three after leading the Boys in Blue to a 7-6 shootout victory over Birmingham Legion FC on Saturday at Carroll Stadium.

With the shootout tied 4-4, the 6’7 Sulte dove to his right to thwart Ronaldo Damus’ potential game-winning shot to keep his team alive.

After Josh O’Brien gave the Boys in Blue a 7-6 lead in the shootout, Sulte again dove to his right, but this time he used his left hand to deflect Erik Centeno’s attempt and give his team the shootout triumph.

Sulte made an amazing kick save in the 21st minute on a close-range shot by Danny Trejo to earn a “Save of the Round” nomination.

In the 49th, the Anchorage, Alaska, native saved another shot from inside the six by Trejo. This time, Sulte closed his legs like a hockey goalie to stop the shot with his left leg.

In the match, Sulte made six saves for the second time in 24 days vs. Birmingham Legion, following his 1-0 clean sheet on the road on June 4 in USL Championship play. That is one shy of his career-high seven saves vs. Tampa Bay Rowdies on July 20, 2024.

The “Team of the Week” honor is Sulte’s fourth in his two years with the Boys in Blue, having earned that recognition three weeks ago on June 10 and twice last season (June 15 and October 15) following back-to-back clean sheets in both of those weeks. He made the USLC “Save of the Week” four times in 2024.

Sulte and Reice Charles-Cook have combined to allow just one goal in three Jägermeister Cup matches this season.

The Boys in Blue have had eight different players named to the Team of the Week/Team of the Round in 2025, including Elvis Amoh to the USL Jägermeister Cup “Team of the Round” for round one on April 29.

Shootout Success

Indy Eleven goalkeeper Hunter Sulte made two saves in penalty kicks to give his team a 7-6 shoot-out win to earn an extra point that keeps the Boys in Blue on top of the USL Jägermeister Cup Group 3 standings after a wild 1(7):1(6) match vs. Birmingham Legion FC last Saturday at Carroll Stadium.

With the shootout tied 4-4, the 6’7 Sulte dove to his right to thwart Ronaldo Damus’ potential game-winning shot to keep his team alive.

Indy Eleven trailed the shootout after a save by Birmingham keeper Fernando Delgado on the first attempt of the shootout. The subsequent Boys in Blue shooters—Jack Blake, Cam Lindley, Aodhan Quinn, Finn McRobb, Bruno Rendon, and Elliot Collier all were successful to set the stage for roommates O’Brien and Sulte to seal the deal.

The Boys in Blue are now 2-0-1 in USL Jägermeister Cup play with eight points atop Group 3, with Birmingham one point behind with seven points. The final round of group play will be on July 26 when Indy Eleven hosts FC Tulsa. The winner of the group + the two best second-place finishers will advance to the quarterfinals of the 38-team tournament on August 20.

There was plenty of action in regulation with Birmingham applying the pressure early. Sulte made an amazing kick save in the 21st minute on a close-range shot by Danny Trejo to keep the match scoreless.

Indy Eleven broke through in the 28th minute when midfielder Oliver Brynéus curled a left-footed ball from the left side to the far post where O’Brien headed it home. It was O’Brien’s second career goal for the Boys in Blue and the first career point for Brynéus.

The home team had two good chances to add to its 1-0 lead late in the first half. Brynéus intercepted a pass at midfield and dribbled down the left sideline, playing a ball forward to forward Maalique Foster. Foster made a spin move outside the area and centered in back to Brynéus, who made a quick touch to midfielder Cam Lindley. Lindley took one dribble and uncorked a laser from outside the area that caromed off the crossbar.

A minute later in the 44th, Quinn started another scoring chance sequence with an outlet pass down the left sideline to Foster. Foster played a beautiful diagonal pass inside the area to Lindley, who touched it to forward Elvis Amoh, but his shot just missed.

Trailing 1-0, Birmingham started the second half quickly with another shot from inside the six by Trejo. This time, Sulte closed his legs like a hockey goalie to stop the shot with his left leg.

In the 94th minute, Preston Tabort Etaka scored on a free kick to necessitate the Boys in Blue’s first-ever PK shootout at Carroll Stadium. It was the first Jägermeister Cup allowed by Indy Eleven in its three matches in the event.

Indy Eleven is 2-0-1 in USL Jägermeister Cup play with eight points atop Group 3, with Birmingham one point behind with seven. The final round of group play will be on July 26 when Indy Eleven hosts FC Tulsa. The winner of the group + the two best second-place finishers will advance to the quarterfinals of the 38-team tournament on August 20.

COACH SEAN McAULEY

Head coach Sean McAuley earned the USLC “Coach of the Month” last May and he was a nominee for USLC Midseason “Coach of the Year” after leading his team to a 12-match unbeaten streak in a two-month span from April 17 through June 15.

The Sheffield, England, native led Indy Eleven to the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals with four straight wins, including a 2-1 victory at MLS-side Atlanta United.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Indians scored a run in each of the first three innings, including a five-run second frame, to back Bubba Chandler’s second quality start and sixth scoreless start of the season in their 8-1 victory over the Louisville Bats on Friday night at Victory Field.

The holiday contest was all Indianapolis (7-3, 49-35) from the get-go. Billy Cook opened the bottom of the first inning with a double and immediately came around to score on a single from Ji Hwan Bae to give Indy a lead they would not relinquish.

The Indians kept their foot on the gas in the second inning and broke the game wide open. Liover Peguero and Matt Fraizer reached base to start the inning and came around to score on an RBI single from Tsung-Che Cheng. The Indians benefitted from back-to-back throwing errors from Louisville (4-6, 36-48) to plate two more runs before Nick Yorke capped the second inning with an RBI triple, his second of the week against the Bats, to grant Indy a 6-0 advantage.

The Indians capped their fireworks in the third inning when Cheng connected with his second two-RBI hit of the day, this time a double, to give him a career-high tying four RBI. He last knocked in four runs on Aug. 7, 2024, with Double-A Altoona at Portland. The Bats strung together a double and a single in the seventh to bring in a run but were held scoreless otherwise.

Bubba Chandler (W, 3-2) tossed his first scoreless start of 6.0 or more innings this season, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out six. Colin Holderman, Burch Smith and Eddy Yean combined for the final three innings, with Holderman surrendering the lone run. Brian Van Belle (L, 6-3) took the loss for Louisville after allowing all eight Indianapolis runs.

The win marked Indy’s fourth straight on Independence Day since 2022, which is their longest streak since a five-game run from 1998-2002. Additionally, the seven-run win is their largest advantage on July Fourth since 2016, when they beat Louisville 11-3.

The Indians and Bats play their second of three games in this series from Victory Field on Saturday evening at 7:05 PM. Southpaw Hunter Barco (2-1, 3.69), who has pitched to a 1.82 ERA (5er/24.2ip) in six starts at Victory Field this season, will take the mound for Indy against Louisville righty Aaron Wilkerson (4-2, 4.59).
