MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

LAST-PLACE METS FIRE MANAGER CARLOS MENDOZA. OWNER STEVE COHEN SAYS ‘FANS DESERVE BETTER’

NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Mendoza was fired as manager of the underperforming New York Mets on Friday and replaced by Andy Green.

New York is 34-47 at the season’s midpoint following a six-game losing streak, 15 games behind NL East-leading Atlanta and 9 1/2 games back of the NL’s last wild-card berth.

Mets owner Steve Cohen had high expectations for a team without a World Series title since 1986. New York opened the season with baseball’s highest payroll at $358 million and was projected to pay an additional $124 million in luxury tax.

“Our commitment to bringing our fans a championship-caliber team has not changed,” Cohen said in a statement. “There is no sugar-coating it: This season has been a disappointment and our fans deserve better than what we’ve delivered.”

Slowed by injuries to Francisco Lindor, Marcus Semien, Luis Robert Jr., Clay Holmes and Jorge Polanco, the Mets traded pitcher David Peterson to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday and could pivot to a selloff and retooling for the future.

Mendoza spent 15 seasons working for the Yankees, the last four as bench coach, before the Mets hired him to replace Buck Showalter after the 2023 season. While New York advanced to the NL Championship Series in 2024, it failed to reach the playoffs last year and is among the sport’s biggest disappointments this season

Since starting last year 45-25, the Mets are 72-101. That left the team with a 206-199 record under Mendoza, who was in the final guaranteed season of a three-year contract. He was hired by the Mets a month after David Stearns joined New York as president of baseball operations.

After signing Juan Soto to a record $765 million, 15-year contract ahead of the 2025 season, Stearns made major roster changes last offseason. He allowed Pete Alonso to leave as a free agent and traded Brandon Nimmo, while bringing in Semien and Bo Bichette.

New York had a 12-game losing streak in April, its longest since 2002, and made six errors in the nightcap of Wednesday’s doubleheader loss to the Chicago Cubs, their most in a game since 2014.

“Carlos has led the organization with passion and grace and is beloved by everyone who works with him on a daily basis,” Stearns said in a statement. “Carlos’ impact on our players, staff, and culture over the last three seasons has been transformative. Unfortunately, we know we are falling short and change is necessary to move forward.”

Green, a former major league infielder, joined the Mets in 2023 as senior vice president of baseball development and was given the title of interim manager for the rest of the season. He managed San Diego to a 274-366 record from 2016-19, finishing with sub-.500 records in all four seasons.

Green played four games for the Mets in 2009, his final big league appearances as a player. He became the fourth manager since Cohen bought the team from the Wilpon and Katz families after the 2020 season, following Luis Rojas, Showalter and Mendoza.

Mendoza is the third manager to lose his job since the season started. Boston’s Alex Cora was replaced by Chad Tracy and Philadelphia’s Rob Thomson by Don Mattingly.

REDS PLACE RHP TONY SANTILLAN (OBLIQUE) ON INJURED LIST

The Cincinnati Reds placed right-hander Tony Santillan on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left oblique strain.

The move is retroactive to Tuesday for the 29-year-old reliever, who is 1-4 with five saves and a 5.23 ERA in 34 games out of the bullpen.

Santillan is 7-16 with 16 saves and a 3.36 ERA in 193 career games (five starts) since making his major league debut with the Reds in 2021.

Cincinnati recalled right-hander Zach McCambley from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding transaction.

McCambley, 27, made his MLB debut on June 3 and has no decisions and a 6.75 ERA in three relief appearances.

=====

MLB ROUNDUP: WHITE SOX POUND OUT 23 HITS FOR 22 RUNS, CRUSH ROYALS

Miguel Vargas and Jacob Gonzalez each hit three-run homers in an epic, 10-run third inning, Chicago’s best this season, and the White Sox demolished the visiting Kansas City Royals 22-1 on Friday night.

Tristan Peters popped a grand slam and posted six RBIs, and Kyle Teel (three RBIs) and Andrew Benintendi also went deep. Chase Meidroth had four hits, while Gonzalez and Vargas had three hits and five RBIs apiece. Sam Antonacci notched three hits as the team totaled 23.

Recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Charlotte, White Sox starter David Sandlin (2-1) allowed one run on three hits in six innings. The rookie right-hander fanned six, walked three and induced two double plays.

The Royals’ Carter Jensen singled for a 17-game hitting streak, and Jac Caglianone tripled and walked. Kansas City totaled four hits. Designated hitter Bobby Witt Jr. (knee sprain) returned after a six-game absence and went 0-for-3 with a run and a walk.

Brewers 6, Cubs 2

Garrett Mitchell and William Contreras had two-run homers and hard-throwing Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run over six innings to pace Milwaukee to a victory over visiting Chicago in the opener of the three-game National League Central showdown series.

Misiorowski (9-3) allowed two hits, including a solo homer by Seiya Suzuki, striking out eight and walking four. Misiorowski, who set a major league record for starters with a first-inning fastball clocked at 105.5 mph, boosted his major league-leading strikeout total to 146 and kept his majors-best ERA at 1.45.

For the Cubs, Suzuki drilled a homer and added a sacrifice fly. Starter Colin Rea allowed one run on five hits in five-plus innings and escaped several jams over five scoreless innings.

Red Sox 6, Yankees 1

Payton Tolle pitched seven dominant innings and combined with two relievers on a three-hitter as Boston earned a victory over visiting New York.

Tolle (4-5) retired the first 16 hitters before rookie Spencer Jones looped a single in the sixth. The left-hander struck out seven and permitted only three baserunners. Willson Contreras launched a two-run homer and Conor Wong contributed a pair of RBIs as Boston secured a series win.

New York’s Will Warren (7-3) allowed five runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander threw 55 of 90 pitches for strikes, did not register a strikeout and issued three walks. He and Contreras jawed at each other after Contreras’ homer, leading the benches and bullpens to clear with no further escalation.

Reds 6, Pirates 4

Noelvi Marte’s first career pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning lifted Cincinnati to a road victory over Pittsburgh.

Marte’s two-run homer off reliever Mason Montgomery (2-3) helped snap the Reds’ three-game losing streak and was only the third win for Cincinnati against a NL Central opponent in 19 games this season. Marte’s homer followed Sal Stewart’s one-out single in the eighth, which snapped a streak of 13 consecutive Reds batters retired by Pirates pitchers.

Pittsburgh lost for the eighth consecutive time when ace and reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes pitches.

Tigers 8, Astros 0

James Outman hit a three-run homer to support seven strong innings from Keider Montero as host Detroit blanked Houston.

Kerry Carpenter supplied a two-run homer, his 11th of the season, while Colt Keith contributed a solo blast. Kevin McGonigle reached base three times, stole two bases and scored two runs. The Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak.

The Astros saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Starter Spencer Arrighetti gave up eight runs and five hits in three-plus innings. Jose Altuve was the only Houston player with multiple hits and the Astros were 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and stranded six runners.

Orioles 3, Nationals 1

Trevor Rogers pitched into the seventh inning and Coby Mayo doubled twice and drove in a run as Baltimore returned home and produced a victory against Washington in the opener of a three-game series.

Blaze Alexander knocked in two runs and Taylor Ward provided three hits for the Orioles, who were home for the first time since going 4-5 on a nine-game West Coast trip. Rogers (5-7) won for the third time since April 1 by working 6 1/3 innings and holding the Nationals to one run on five hits and no walks.

Washington has lost four games in a row. No member of the team had more than one hit, though three of its five hits were doubles. The Nationals were held to one run for the third time this month. Starter Andrew Alvarez (1-1) was pulled after going 4 1/3 innings and charged with two runs on six hits.

Phillies 2, Mets 1

Zack Wheeler tossed seven strong innings for visiting Philadelphia, which edged struggling New York in the opener of a three-game series between the NL East rivals.

Trea Turner recorded the tie-breaking RBI single in the seventh inning for the Phillies, who have won four straight and six of seven. Bryce Harper had three singles, including a run-scoring hit in the first. Wheeler (8-1) allowed one run on four hits over seven innings.

Jared Young tied the score in the fourth with an RBI single for the Mets, who lost their seventh straight game hours after firing manager Carlos Mendoza and replacing him on an interim basis with Andy Green, the club’s farm director. Rookie left-hander Zach Thornton settled down after a rocky first inning to toss six innings of one-run ball.

Rangers 5, Blue Jays 4

Nathan Eovaldi struck out nine in seven scoreless innings and visiting Texas held on to defeat Toronto.

Eovaldi (8-7) allowed five hits and one walk before leaving with a 5-0 lead. Justin Foscue hit a two-run home run and had three RBIs for the Rangers, who have two wins to open the four-game series. Wyatt Langford added three hits. Jacob Latz pitched around a walk in the ninth to earn his 16th save.

Kazuma Okamoto hit a two-run homer in a four-run eighth for the Blue Jays, who have lost four in a row. Former Ranger Patrick Corbin (2-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Mariners 3, Guardians 1

J.P. Crawford drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning with an infield single and Julio Rodriguez added an RBI hit in the eighth, giving visiting Seattle a victory over Cleveland.

Rookie Colt Emerson hit a solo homer in the third and Luis Castillo (3-6) worked six innings, giving up one run on four hits to earn his first win as a starter since May 14. Andres Munoz pitched a clean ninth for his 15th save in 20 opportunities. Seattle’s pitchers retired the final 15 batters to wrap up the victory.

Rookie Kahlil Watson provided the Guardians’ lone run in the first, doubling home Kyle Manzardo. Watson, batting cleanup, has seven RBIs in his last four games after starting his career 0-for-12. Tim Herrin (0-3) walked Cal Raleigh and Dominic Canzone upon entering the game, then gave up Crawford’s two-out hit in his lone inning of relief.

Rays 6, Diamondbacks 1

Junior Caminero hit a three-run homer, Cedric Mullins added a solo shot and Nick Martinez pitched into the sixth inning to lead Tampa Bay to win over Arizona in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Martinez (7-2) allowed one run on six hits over 5 2/3 innings, and Yandy Diaz went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and an RBI for the Rays.

Geraldo Perdomo homered, Corbin Carroll was 2-for-4 with a triple and Gabriel Moreno had two hits for Arizona. Zac Gallen (3-7) gave up five runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Marlins 4, Cardinals 0

Max Meyer allowed two hits in seven innings to win his ninth consecutive decision to start the season, Jakob Marsee singled in two runs and Miami shut out host St. Louis.

Meyer, who tied a Marlins record with his 9-0 start to a season, remains the only qualified starter in the major leagues without a loss this season. Michael Petersen and Calvin Faucher each pitched a scoreless inning to help Miami win its third straight game and improve to a major league-best 17-5 in June.

The Marlins broke a scoreless tie in the eighth against George Soriano (3-2) on Graham Pauley’s RBI double. The Cardinals have lost three straight and six of their last eight. They received a strong outing from starter Michael McGreevy, who limited Miami to five hits over six scoreless innings.

Twins 9, Rockies 8 (10 innings)

Royce Lewis hit an RBI single in the 10th inning, and Minnesota recovered from losing a seven-run lead to beat Colorado in Minneapolis.

Lewis and Byron Buxton finished with three hits each, Kody Clemens and Brooks Lee homered and Trevor Larnach finished with two hits for the Twins.

Jake McCarthy homered and finished with three hits, Hunter Goodman also went deep and TJ Rumfield had two hits for the Rockies, who rallied again in the late innings but couldn’t complete the comeback.

Athletics 9, Angels 3

Jeff McNeil and Henry Bolte each had two-run singles to highlight a seven-run fifth inning and help lead the Athletics to a victory over Los Angeles in the opener of a three-game series in Anaheim, Calif.

Nick Kurtz went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs and Shea Langeliers had two hits, an RBI and a stolen base. Max Muncy also had two hits and a run for the Athletics, who won their second straight. J.T. Ginn (6-4) allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings.

Jo Adell homered and Denzer Guzman and Josh Lowe each had two hits for the Angels. Walbert Urena (5-6), who started the game by throwing four perfect innings, allowed seven runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings.

Padres 7, Dodgers 1

Ty France belted a three-run homer and Walker Buehler pitched 5 1/3 solid innings in beating his former team for the first time as host San Diego stopped Los Angeles.

Right-hander Buehler (5-3) allowed three hits and a run, walking three and striking out five in a 74-pitch outing before letting relievers Yuki Matsui, Jason Adam, Adrian Morejon and Wandy Peralta pick up the last 11 outs.

Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki (3-5) lasted only four-plus innings, allowing three hits and three runs while walking five and striking out two. Los Angeles’ only run came when Mookie Betts led off the second with his 10th homer.

Braves 3, Giants 1

Ozzie Albies drove in two runs, Reynaldo Lopez combined with five relievers on a seven-hitter and Atlanta opened a three-game road series with a win over San Francisco.

Making his first start since April 21, Lopez limited the Giants to one run and four hits before being pulled after three innings, having thrown 57 pitches. Braves reliever Dylan Lee (4-0), who threw 1 2/3 innings of one-hit ball, was credited with the win. Raisel Iglesias worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 16th save.

All three Atlanta runs came against Giants starter Trevor McDonald (2-6), who allowed seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. San Francisco had four doubles but was out-hit 8-7 in losing for the fifth time in its last seven games.

FOOTBALL NEWS

CFL CLOSES THE DOOR ON BRENDAN SORSBY

Well-traveled quarterback Brendan Sorsby will not have the option of migrating north to the Canadian Football League this season.

League officials confirmed to multiple outlets late Thursday that its nine teams are prohibited from signing Sorsby, who was suspended by the NCAA for placing bets on games and earlier this week was denied entry into the NFL via the supplemental draft.

“Upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount to the CFL. The allegations involving Brendan Sorsby are serious and concerning,” the CFL said in a statement Friday. “At this time, the CFL will not register a contract for him, and no team will be permitted to add him to its negotiation list.”

Sorsby, 22, spent several weeks in a treatment facility for what he said was a gambling addiction. The NCAA declared Sorsby ineligible after an investigation revealed the quarterback allegedly made thousands of bets, including using accounts in other names, at a cost of more than $90,000 during his college career. That included making bets on Indiana football during his time with the Hoosiers before transferring to Cincinnati. Last season he threw for 2,800 yards with 27 touchdowns and five interceptions and ran for nine TDs with the Bearcats.

Sorsby left Cincinnati at the end of last season to play for Texas Tech before his off-field issues brought NCAA punishment.

The NFL encouraged Sorsby to focus on preparation for the 2027 NFL Draft.

In its letter to Sorsby this week, the NFL criticized Sorsby for failing to accept “responsibility for your actions” and trying to avoid consequences first through litigation and then by attempting to enter the NFL supplemental draft. The league hasn’t held a supplemental draft since 2023 and denied Sorsby’s application for consideration.

Further litigation is an option for Sorsby, who is represented by former NFLPA attorney Jeffrey Kessler.

He has represented players in multiple high-profile cases against the league and won positive judgments on behalf of the likes of Tom Brady (Deflategate), Jonathan Vilma (and other Saints in the Bountygate case involving then-defensive coordinator Gregg Williams) and arbitration cases on behalf of Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress.

REPORT: PISTONS TO ACQUIRE G ISAIAH JOE FROM THUNDER

The Detroit Pistons are acquiring guard Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two future second-round draft picks, ESPN reported on Friday.

Joe, who turns 27 next week, averaged a career-best 11.1 points while shooting 45.5% from the floor and 42.3% from 3-point range in 71 games (nine starts) last season.

He has averaged 8.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 392 career games (38 starts) with the Philadelphia 76ers (2020-22) and Thunder.

REPORT: THUNDER, ISAIAH HARTENSTEIN AGREE TO 3-YEAR, $75M DEAL

The Oklahoma City Thunder are retaining a key piece of their frontcourt, agreeing to a new three-year, $75 million deal with Isaiah Hartenstein, ESPN reported on Friday night.

The deal, which would keep the 28-year-old Hartenstein in the state’s capital through 2028-29, would bring his total earnings with the Thunder to $134 million guaranteed over five seasons, per the report.

Hartenstein joined Oklahoma City as a free agent in 2024 on a three-year deal worth $87 million and included a third-year team option. The 7-footer played a vital role in the franchise’s NBA title run in 2024-25, and made 99 starts over 104 regular-season games and 35 of 38 playoff games the past two seasons.

Per the report, the agreement includes a maximum 15% trade kicker and a mutual option for both Hartenstein and his agents, along with the team, to rework the agreement before the final season of the deal.

Hartenstein is coming off an injury-plagued season that limited him to 47 games (46 starts) and averages of 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 24.2 minutes per game. Over his eight NBA seasons with the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Thunder, he averages 7.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 20.0 minutes in 426 games (160 starts).

REPORTS: G JOSE ALVARADO RETURNING TO KNICKS ON 3-YEAR DEAL

New York Knicks guard Jose Alvarado will return to the reigning NBA champions on a three-year contract worth more than $14.5 million, ESPN first reported on Friday.

Alvarado, considered a key reserve, had declined his player option for $4.5 million next season, per multiple reports.

“I’m Home,” Alvarado, a Brooklyn native, wrote on Friday on X, ending his post with a series of orange and blue hearts in the Knicks’ team colors.

Alvarado, 28, averaged 6.6 points, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 16.9 minutes in 28 games (three starts) in the regular season after the Knicks acquired him from the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February.

The Pelicans also traded forward Latavious Williams as part of the deal and received guard Dalen Terry, cash, a 2022 second-round draft pick (Jaron Pierre Jr. was later selected) and a 2027 second-round pick.

Alvarado averaged 4.2 points, 1.2 assists and 9.4 minutes in 18 playoff games as a reserve during the Knicks’ run to their first NBA crown in 53 years.

Undrafted out of Georgia Tech, Alvarado has career averages of 8.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 20.0 minutes in 296 games (37 starts) for the Pelicans (2021-26) and Knicks.

NASCAR

SHANE VAN GISBERGEN CHASING SONOMA REPEAT WITH ONE LESS OBSTACLE

There just may be another road-course challenger for Shane van Gisbergen to contend with.

And he’s not on the horizon. He’s here — except he’s not.

With the NASCAR Cup Series closing out the road course schedule for 2026 Sunday in Northern California, all eyes have turned to last week’s spectacular first-time winner Corey Heim.

Heim sure looked the hotshoe part in dominating the field as it fought to find a grip on the Naval base in San Diego then passed 23XI Racing Toyota teammate Tyler Reddick with three laps left.

So it will be interesting to see how Heim fares this weekend in his effort for a road-course repeat in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.

Well, it would have been interesting.

In a true quirk, Heim is a part-time driver and will not be in the No. 67 Camry, a massive letdown and something not witnessed in other professional  sports.

It’s like a quarterback throwing for 400 yards and five touchdowns in a midseason rivalry contest and not suiting up the next game.

That kind of absence just doesn’t happen in other pro leagues, but Heim is committed to only running a dozen races at NASCAR’s top level.

The 23-year-old Heim, who will be a full-time driver for Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin’s organization next season, blew the doors off the more experienced competition, including “King of the Road” van Gisbergen, at Naval Base Coronado.

The part-time Cup driver blazed around the 3.4-mile road course in a downright dazzling, 10-second-plus victory over teammate Bubba Wallace, who rallied from a lost wheel under green to post a season-best runner-up showing.

In NASCAR’s broadcast history, maybe someone has been referred to as a “generational talent” more often than the Marietta, Ga., native was glowingly late Sunday afternoon and into early evening on the East Coast, but that’s likely not the case. The booth and postgame wrap-up show gushed over the defending Craftsman Truck Series champ’s first Cup win in just his 13th start.

Heim’s next Cup start, his seventh of 2026, will take place on July 4 weekend in NASCAR’s return to Chicagoland Speedway for the first time since 2019, when Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman won his first Cup race.

Heim owes part of his checkered flag, maybe one little black-and-white corner of it, to Reddick.

The points leader in the No. 45, Reddick used a crossover move and pushed Heim up the track in Turn 5. Then, in a show of teammate favoritism, the five-time winner let Heim back in — like letting a foe up in a fight.

Speaking of fights, one nearly developed between Noah Gragson and former Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen, who dumped Gragson’s Front Row Motorsports Ford.

What ensued was face-to-face language as salty as an episode of The Sopranos.

“(He’s) coming into our ballpark and running into us,” Gragson said on Sirius/XM NASCAR Radio. “I was about to throw a punch, and I got told right before I got over there that there’s going to be long-term consequences with my job if that was the case.”

Defending Sonoma race winner van Gisbergen and rookie Connor Zilisch likely are testy from wrecking out while fighting for the lead at San Diego. Plus, Reddick fell from a possible sixth win to 25th at the end and saw his season points lead narrow to just eight over Hamlin.

Drivers might not be so rosy with each other in the Napa Valley winemaking country this Sunday.

REPORT: DODGE COULD RETURN TO CUP SERIES IN 2027

Dodge is finalizing a plan to return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027, The Athletic reported on Friday.

The manufacturer last competed in stock car racing’s premier division in 2012, leaving only three manufacturers with Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota.

Dodge began competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season with Kaulig Racing running five full-time teams in Ram trucks.

Multiple industry sources told The Athletic that the Cup Series will not increase its current total of 36 charters, meaning a current team would have to change manufacturers to join the Dodge brand.

Kaulig Racing’s two current entries in the 2026 Cup Series — Ty Dillon in the No. 10 and A.J. Allmendinger in the No. 16 — currently are driving Chevrolets.

INDYCAR

ROAD COURSE PROWESS COULD LIFT CHRISTIAN LUNDGAARD IN TITLE FIGHT

Christian Lundgaard believes the next month could be pivotal in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship battle.

Lundgaard enters the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the 2027 CRV Hybrid on July 5 fourth in points, 77 behind championship leader Alex Palou. While that deficit remains significant, this stretch of the schedule could provide an opportunity to close the gap.

Beginning with last Sunday’s XPEL Grand Prix at Road America Presented by AMR, the series enters a four-race stretch featuring three natural road courses. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Portland International Raceway (Aug. 9) join Road America, with Nashville Superspeedway (July 19) serving as the lone oval in this span.

Lundgaard has been nearly unbeatable on natural road courses this season.

Take Road America as an example. Lundgaard had to pit after contact with Scott Dixon on the opening lap, dropping him to last among the 25-car field. He charged to victory, his second of the season and second consecutive win on a natural road course following his triumph in the Sonsio Grand Prix on May 9 on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway circuit.

Lundgaard also finished second at Barber Motorsports Park, giving him three consecutive top-two finishes on natural road courses this season. Dating to last year, Lundgaard has finished on the podium in six straight races on permanent road courses.

Could that consistency make him Palou’s biggest challenger?

Kyle Kirkwood, who sits ahead of Lundgaard in the standings, remains winless in 30 INDYCAR SERIES starts on natural road courses and has just one series oval victory in 26 starts, coming last year at World Wide Technology Raceway. David Malukas is second in points but searching for his first series victory after 71 starts. He’s been runner-up five times, including three this season.

In both of Lundgaard’s wins this season, Palou started on the pole and finished fifth while Malukas finished second. Kirkwood finished ninth and 10th, respectively.

“It really depends on the drivers we’re fighting in the championship and how their weekends evolve,” Lundgaard said on if he can be second in points after this stretch. “We know the 10 car (Alex Palou) is going to be strong no matter where he shows up. The wild cards are Pato (O’Ward), Kirkwood and Malukas.”

Palou has remained the benchmark despite some missed opportunities. He has won five consecutive NTT P1 Awards dating to the Sonsio Grand Prix, yet has only one victory during that span. Pit-road mistakes and strategy setbacks have prevented him from building an even larger championship lead.

Still, Lundgaard believes Arrow McLaren has the pace to challenge on road courses and cut that deficit while two inaugural street races in Markham (Aug. 16) and Washington, D.C. (Aug. 23) follow this stretch.

“On road courses, we’re probably the best car,” Lundgaard said. “Street courses can be a little bit of a lottery. The 10 car has been able to execute and get results, and the Andretti cars have been extremely strong. We also have two new tracks coming up. At that point, it’s fair game for everyone.”

If there is an area where Lundgaard can still improve, it is on ovals. Yet Palou hasn’t been strong this season on circle tracks, either.

Palou owns two oval victories in his career, both coming last season, including the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. But this year his average finish on ovals is 16th. Lundgaard’s average finish on ovals this season is 13.3.

There also are signs Lundgaard is becoming more competitive on ovals. He finished sixth at Iowa Speedway and the Milwaukee Mile last season. This year, he placed 13th at Phoenix Raceway, 17th in the Indianapolis 500 and 10th at World Wide Technology Raceway.

“I think everything is going according to how I thought it would,” Lundgaard said. “I feel like I’ve evolved a little bit.

“I’m here to try to improve myself every weekend, every day, every year. I think we found something in St. Louis, which will help moving forward. I’m only optimistic and happy for the rest of the year.”

Mid-Ohio presents another opportunity.

Lundgaard started second and finished third there last season. Palou, meanwhile, owns four consecutive top-two finishes at the track, including a victory in 2023.

The championship contenders appear headed for another showdown.

“I’m not worried going to Mid-Ohio,” Lundgaard said. “We were extremely fast there last year. I think we can make something happen.”

GOLF

INA YOON BUILDS 5-SHOT LEAD AT WOMEN’S PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Ina Yoon of South Korea shot a 3-under-par 69 on Friday and watched her lead at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship balloon to five strokes at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.

Yoon entered the second round with a two-shot lead on Australia’s Karis Davidson after opening with a 63. But Davidson struggled to a second-round 74 and other players who were in the top 10 also faltered, creating a chasm between Yoon (12-under 132) and the field at the halfway mark.

Yoon’s countrywoman Haeran Ryu shot an 8-under 64 — the round of the day by a whopping three shots — and climbed into a tie for second at 7 under. She’s joined there by Canada’s Brooke M. Henderson (68), A Lim Kim of South Korea (70) and Nasa Hataoka of Japan (67).

One stroke behind that group sits World No. 1 Nelly Korda, aiming to become the third woman to win the first three majors of the season after her triumphs at the Chevron Championship and U.S. Women’s Open. Korda posted 68 Friday and is tied at 6 under with South Korea’s Dongeun Lee (69).

But they’re all looking up at Yoon, 23, who has yet to win on the LPGA Tour after joining last year.

“This is actually my first time being lead going into the weekend,” Yoon said. “It’s actually really nice experience for me. I’m so excited to play last two more days.”

Yoon reached 13 under for the tournament quickly by birdieing Nos. 3, 4, 6 and 8. She played the back nine of her round in 1 over par, but she was still left with a comfortable cushion as no one came close to her on the leaderboard.

“The remaining two days will obviously be nerve-wracking, but being nervous is human nature, and I think I want to embrace that and focus on what I can in my shots,” Yoon said.

Ryu kept a bogey-free card and made her eight birdies in one 11-hole stretch. After starting her round on the back nine, she got going with birdies at Nos. 14, 16, 17 and 18. Her four birdies coming in included a 13 1/2-foot putt at the second, a 23-footer at the third and an 18 1/2-footer at the par-3 fourth.

“Yesterday I tried to change my putter because it’s — sometimes I miss a short putt my old putter,” said Ryu, who has won three times on the LPGA Tour. “That’s why I try to change it; it’s still bad.

“Today I used same putter as Kroger Championship a month ago, so I felt it’s so great and I can make a lot of birdies today.”

Henderson is 10 years removed from winning the first of her two majors at the Women’s PGA. She finds herself in the mix after ending her round with three straight birdies at Nos. 7-9.

“Nice to get three to finish. That really makes the round feel whole lot better,” said Henderson, who’s won just one tournament since January 2023. “It’s fun to see my name on the leaderboard again and so hopefully have a good weekend. Really looking forward to it.”

As for Korda, she also began her day on the back nine and made a promising early move with four birdies from Nos. 10-18. Her lone bogey came at No. 1, and after getting the stroke back with a birdie at the par-5 third, she could only make pars the rest of the way.

“The front nine was great, shot 4 under, and then had a case of the hooks on a few of my tee shots on the back nine,” she said. “Figured it out going down the stretch, so pleased with my day.”

The cut line fell at 1 over par. Defending champion Minjee Lee of Australia, England’s Charley Hull and Australian Hannah Green — the winner in 2019 when the major was last held at Hazeltine — all missed the cut by one shot.

DICKY PRIDE SHOOTS 63 TO MOVE IN FRONT AT DICK’S OPEN

Dicky Pride birdied his final three holes to shoot a 9-under-par 63 and secure the lead at the Dick’s Open on Friday in Endicott, N.Y.

Pride, whose only win on the PGA Tour Champions came in 2021, built a two-shot edge over Tommy Gainey, Ireland’s Padraig Harrington and Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke.

Pride turned in a stellar card of nine birdies and nine pars at En-Joie Golf Course. He was 5 under through eight holes before his closing surge, which included birdies at the par-3 14th and 17th holes along with the par-4 16th and 18th.

“Well, I made a lot of putts. You have to,” Pride said. “I hit the ball pretty straight. Not quite as crisp as I wanted on occasion, but I made a lot of putts. That’s been the formula at En-Joie for a long time.”

Pride found 15 of 18 greens in regulation, and on the three greens he missed, he scrambled for par despite citing some tough lies.

“You don’t want to miss it in the rough because you can have some difficult lies, and I did today,” he said. “I’d like to hit it a little better, but I’m real happy with the way I played.”

Clarke had a bogey-free round of 65, while Harrington matched Pride’s nine birdies but bogeyed Nos. 1 and 11.

“Today got off to a bad start, made a terrible bogey. Then I made a few birdies, started getting into it,” Harrington said. “I think Darren played very well, started making birdies, and I was kind of trying to keep up, follow suit. There was good momentum in the group in that sense.”

Michael Block also made a splash in his PGA Tour Champions debut.

The PGA teaching professional who became a golf celebrity when he tied for 15th at the 2023 PGA Championship — with a hole-in-one on the final day — received a sponsor’s exemption into the Dick’s Open.

He made the most of his first round, shooting a 6-under 66 with seven birdies and one bogey. He’s tied for fifth with Bo Van Pelt, Sweden’s Freddie Jacobson and Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee.

“Man, I was super nervous,” Block said. “I told my son earlier in the day, who’s my caddie, I’m really more nervous today than I was even at the PGA Championship a month ago at Aronimink. It’s just because this is like my debut. Dick’s gave me a spot, which is a lot of pressure. I need to come up here and show up (or) shut up, right?

“Came here, I got it going, played my game. I’m confident, it feels good. Everyone here’s been very welcoming. … Everyone on the Champions Tour has been amazing. The players have been amazing.”

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER INCHES FROM 59, LEAPS INTO LEAD AT TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP

Scottie Scheffler bumped in a par putt at No. 18 for a second-round 60 to stand atop the leaderboard at 16 under through 36 holes of the Travelers Championship on Friday at Cromwell, Conn.

Scheffler missed a long birdie by mere inches to the right on the par-4 18th before tapping in for the 10-under 60, one better than Norway’s Viktor Hovland (61 on Friday) and two better than Akshay Bhatia’s second-round 62.

Hovland is alone in second, two back of Scheffler at 14 under. Bhatia ended the day in a tie for third at 12 under with Eric Cole (65).

“After birdieing 15, I was kind of like, ‘Oh, yeah, maybe 9 under now. A few more, you could shoot 59,’” Scheffler said.

“At the end of the day, I was very focused on just my execution out there. … I’ve put myself in position now this week. Go home, get some rest, and get ready for tomorrow.”

Heavy rain led to soft greens and low scoring at TPC River Highlands on Friday, a common theme in the second round albeit nothing entirely novel at the event.

With a round of 60, Scheffler ties Patrick Cantlay (2011) and Tommy Bolt (1954) for the top second round. Jim Furyk (58 in 2016) holds the tournament single-round scoring record and Cameron Young posted a 59 in the third round two years ago.

“The conditions were really good this morning. Softer golf course, not as much wind,” Scheffler said. “Going out yesterday in the afternoon, when the greens get firm out here and the wind starts to blow, it can get tricky pretty quickly.

“Yeah, going out this morning, you definitely had a feeling the conditions were going to be easier, so you need to go out there and try and take advantage of it.”

After opening with a birdie Friday, Scheffler made a bogey 5 at the second. The missed 6-footer on the par-4 was arguably his last mistake Friday before shifting into overdrive. He had 10 birdies on his final 16 holes in the second round with matching scores of 30 on the front and back nine in his bid to win the event for the second time in three years.

Hovland was 9 under on Friday with a 30 on the front nine and a highlight eagle on the par-5 13th.

“It was awesome stuff today,” said Hovland, who tied his career-low round on tour. “Obviously been kind of battling some stuff. You know, my golf swing had not felt all that comfortable. But, you know, I felt like things stabilized a lot more today, and I was able to put the ball in the fairway, hit some great iron shots, and putter finally cooperated a little bit more today.”

Bhatia walked off the course earlier with the lead before Hovland and Scheffler closed out the round emphatically. He had four birdies on each nine in a bogey-free trip around River Highlands, including putts from outside 26 feet at Nos. 3 and 10.

“I feel like I’ve putted really good the whole year,” Bhatia said. “I went through a stretch where when the greens were as good or consistent, even though I hit good putts, they just weren’t going in. … I feel like I kind of showed up this week, you know, did my same stuff, and my speed has been really good this week. I’ve had pretty stress-free putts.”

Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick had a late-afternoon run undone by bogeys at Nos. 16 and 18. He settled for a 66 and a tie for fifth at 10 under with Bud Cauley and Ben Griffin, each of whom also posted 66.

There was no 36-hole cut at the 72-man signature event. Notables down the board include defending champion Keegan Bradley (65) and U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark (64) at 8 under, PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai of England (68) at 7 under and Justin Thomas (66) at 6 under.

GAME PREVIEW

The Fever will wrap up a three-game homestand on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Sparks. This will be the Sparks’ lone visit to Gainbridge Fieldhouse this season. Indiana won 87-78 in Los Angeles on May 13. The two teams will meet once more in L.A. on July 8.

Both teams will be without star players on Saturday due to injuries.

Fever All-Star point guard Caitlin Clark exited in the third quarter of Wednesday’s loss due to a back injury and head coach Stephanie White said at Friday’s media availability that Clark will not play Saturday. Indiana does not play again until July 5, so Clark — who currently ranks fifth in the WNBA in scoring (21.2 points per game) and second in assists (8.2 per game) — will have a long break to rest and recover.

Veteran guard Ty Harris is expected to start in Clark’s absence, while rookie Raven Johnson will also see increased minutes. All-Star shooting guard Kelsey Mitchell, who ranks third in the league in scoring at 21.4 points per game, could also take on more of a playmaking role.

The Sparks, meanwhile, will be without their star scorer. All-Star guard Kelsey Plum will miss at least four weeks with a left lower leg injury. Plum is the league’s second-leading scorer, averaging 23.9 points per game. Los Angeles is also without second-year forward Cameron Brink (9.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game) due to an ankle injury.

Without Plum, the Sparks will rely more heavily on their frontcourt pairing of Nneka Ogwumike (16.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game) and Dearica Hamby (14.1 points and 8.1 rebounds).

The shorthanded Sparks struggled defensively in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Los Angeles surrendered 125 points, a new WNBA record most points scored by a team in a regulation game. Tempo star Marina Mabrey tied the single-game scoring record with 53 points.

=====

Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks, head coach Stephanie White announced Friday morning.

Clark exited Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury with 5:15 left in the third quarter due to back issues.

“She’s OK. She’s going to be out on Saturday, but she’s doing all right,” White said on Friday before referencing a break in the team’s schedule. After Saturday’s contest, the Fever (10-8) are idle until they visit the Las Vegas Aces on July 5.

“Obviously it’s a good time (for her to rest), because we have all week next week to take this opportunity to get her treatment, get her healthy and get her back on the floor and see what happens,” White said. “… Long-term health and wellness is the most important thing.”

In addition to the back issues, Clark endured a physical performance by the Mercury — namely Alyssa Thomas. The Phoenix guard was given a flagrant foul 2 by the WNBA office and suspended one game for “recklessly making contact with her fist to the throat area” of Clark.

The incident occurred with 6:52 left in the second quarter of the Mercury’s 111-109 triumph in Indianapolis. No foul was called.

Clark, 24, is averaging a career-high 21.2 points, 8.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds through 17 games this season. She’s a two-time All-Star.

INDIANA SOFTBALL

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ––– Indiana Softball head coach Shonda Stanton announced the signing of transfer Breezy Burnett to the program on Friday (June 26).

Burnett comes to Bloomington after spending the last four seasons at Minnesota.

She is from Jacksonville, Fla. and is an outfielder.

From 2023-25, Burnett had 144 starts in 157 games played for Minnesota’s outfield. In the 2024 and 2025 seasons she started all 103 games.

Burnett has career totals of 55 runs, 81 hits, including 27 extra base hits and 53 RBI to go along with a .983 fielding percentage.

In 2025, she led her team with three triples. The same season, she hit a walk-off single in a win over Miami (Ohio) (Feb. 8) and launched a grand slam in a win at Wisconsin (April 21).

In 2024, she led the team with 13 stolen bases. She missed the entire 2026 season due to injury.

Burnett is also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection (2024-26).

Her twin sister, Nevaeh, is also back for the Bulldogs. Karina Bystry, a Horizon League All-Freshman selection from Northern Kentucky, and Tamar Singer, a MAC All-Defensive team selection from Miami (Ohio), will make an immediate impact.

INDIANA STATE CROSS COUNTRY

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State Head Cross Country Coach Brad Butler and Cross Country/Track and Field Program Director and Head Coach Angela Martin announced the Sycamores’ 2026 cross country schedule Friday morning.

“Our schedule this fall is full of great competition,” Butler said.” We will go to some familiar local meets the first half of the season that we have raced well at in the past. Conference and regionals will be at different courses for this group, which will be exciting. We look forward to hosting multiple meets on our home course out at LaVern Gibson with the best teams in the country attending.”

The Sycamores’ 2026 slate features eight meets, with four coming on the renowned LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. Indiana State is also the 2026 NCAA Cross Country National Championship host, with the premier meet on the cross country schedule coming to Terre Haute for the 14th time.

“Our schedule for this season is challenging, but we know that the experiences our student-athletes will get are top-notch,” Martin said. “The LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course is undergoing a facelift this summer, and we are so excited to show off the improvements at the meets we are hosting this year. Hosting the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships is a great honor, and one that our university and the community take pride in. Some of the best athletes in the world will be running here in Terre Haute this fall.”

Indiana State opens its season September 4 with a return trip to the Fighting Illini Invitational, hosted by Illinois. The Sycamores placed second on the women’s side and fifth on the men’s side in last season’s edition, with the top six 4k women’s marks in program history being set in that meet.

The Sycamores’ first meet on their home course comes September 19 with the annual John McNichols Invitational. Both the men’s and women’s team finished in the top three last season at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, while four Sycamores earned top-10 finishes in last season’s meet.

Indiana State’s lone split-squad weekend of the season will be October 2, with the Trees having a contingent at both the Joe Piane Invitational at Notre Dame and the Nike XC Town Twilight at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course.

The Blue and White play host to the top talent in the nation October 16, with teams traveling to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course for the Under Armour Pre-National Invitational. Indiana State earned top-30 finishes on both the men’s and women’s side at pre-nationals last season while placing ahead of Power Four schools in both races.

Indiana State closes the month of October on the road, as the Sycamores travel to Des Moines, Iowa, for the 2026 MVC Cross Country Championships on October 30. Drake is the host for this season’s conference championships, with Indiana State looking to build off back-to-back runner-up finishes on the women’s side.

The 2026 NCAA Great Lakes Regional sees the Trees head north November 13, with Michigan State hosting the regional meet in East Lansing. Indiana State has placed in the top 10 on the women’s side in each of the last two seasons, continuing its rise up the ranks, while the Sycamores will look to break back into the top half of the region on the men’s side.

All eyes in the cross country world will descend on Terre Haute November 21, as Indiana State hosts the NCAA Cross Country National Championships for the 14th time in program history. The national championships return to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course for the first time since 2019, with Indiana State being the most frequent host since the course opened in 1997. Indiana State previously hosted the championships in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2019.

“SPORTS EXTRA”

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY

1894 – For the first time in nearly a month, covering 24 games, Baltimore fails to score at least seven runs, losing to Chicago, 13 – 4.

1900 – In a New York State League game, Binghamton tops Oswego, 2 – 1. Playing for Binghamton is heavyweight boxing champ James J. Corbett, making the last of 37 appearances in the minors. He is 0 for 3.

1903 – The Pirates crush 15 hits off Iron Joe McGinnity, including four hits by Honus Wagner, but it takes the Bucs 11 innings to cut down the Giants. In the Pirates’ next game, on the 30th against Brooklyn, Wagner will collect another four hits.

1904 – Patsy Dougherty has another three hits as the Highlander beats his old teammate Jesse Tannehill and Boston, 8 – 4.

1906 – The Giants take another from Boston, winning 4 – 2 and moving in second place in the National League, just two games behind the front-running Cubs.

1907 – At National League Park, Christy Mathewson and Hooks Wiltse combine to beat the Phillies, 2 – 0. Lew Moren pitches a fine game but loses. The Giants, playing .625 ball, are still ten games in back of the Cubs. New York buys the contract of Larry Doyle for $4,500 from the Springfield Senators of the Three-I League.

1910 – The White Sox play their last game at the 39th Street Grounds, losing to Cleveland, 7 – 2.

1911:

In the 7th inning at Huntington Avenue Grounds, the A’s Stuffy McInnis steps into the batter’s box to lead off and hits Ed Karger’s warm-up pitch for an inside-the-park home run while the Red Sox are still taking their positions. Boston manager Patsy Donovan protests to umpire Rip Egan, but Egan rejects the protest on the basis of Ban Johnson’s new rule prohibiting warm-up pitches. The A’s win, 7 – 3. Ban Johnson’s time-saving rule, which declares that pitchers must throw as soon as the batter is in the box, is soon withdrawn.

White Sox ace Ed Walsh shuts out the Tigers, 3 – 0. Ty Cobb is held to an infield single and then is cut down stealing.

1913 – Washington’s Walter Johnson tops the A’s, 2 – 0, to start a 14-game winning streak. He won’t lose for another two months.

1914 – The A’s top Walter Johnson and Washington, 4 – 2. Eddie Collins is 2 for 4 with a run and RBI for the A’s.

1916 – Boston’s Babe Ruth allows two runs in the 1st inning, but settles down to beat the A’s, 7 – 2, while striking out ten. Red Sox infielder Larry Gardner is caught stealing three times, the second time this year that A’s catchers have caught a baserunner three times (the other was New York’s Fritz Maisel, on April 26th). On June 29th, Lee Magee will be caught three times by the A’s while trying to steal, and not until Rickey Henderson, in 1982, will an American League runner be again cut down thrice in a game.

1922:

White Sox catcher Ray Schalk hits for the cycle against the Tigers. He’s just the second major league catcher to cycle, and the first player to pull off the feat for the Sox.

Detroit Stars pitcher Bill Force no-hits the St. Louis Stars, 3 – 0, at Mack Park in a Negro National League game.

1930:

A Ladies Day crowd swells the Wrigley Field attendance to a park record 51,556 to watch the Cubs’ 7 – 5 win over Brooklyn. Kiki Cuyler’s 10th-inning home run is the clincher.

At Philadelphia’s Shibe Park, Jack Quinn becomes the oldest player to hit a home run in major league history. The A’s pitcher is nine days shy of his 47th birthday when he connects for the solo shot. Jimmie Foxx and Al Simmons also homer as Quinn gets the win over the Browns. Quinn’s record will be broken by Julio Franco over 75 years later.

1934 – The temperature reaches 115 degrees at Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. Dizzy Dean leaves the game with two out and the score tied 7 – 7 in the top of the 9th. Reliever Jim Mooney retires Mel Ott, and when Bill DeLancey homers in the bottom of the inning to win the game, Dean is given credit for the win, his 12th of the year, though he wasn’t the pitcher of record when the winning run scored. As on the 24th, Mike Haley, the official scorer who had been overruled earlier that day, is the scorer and gives the win to Dean. Taking no chances, he asks John Heydler to review his decision and Heydler agrees.

1939 – The Dodgers and Bees play a 23-inning, 2 – 2 game at Boston, called on account of darkness after 5 hours and 15 minutes. Whit Wyatt pitches 16 innings for the Dodgers.

1940:

Bobo Newsom (10-1) wins his tenth in a row as the second place Tigers whip St. Louis, 2 – 1. Detroit manages just three hits, but two are homers by Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer.

To honor the lyricist of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Jack Norworth Day is celebrated at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Neither Norworth nor his partner Albert Von Tilzer, who wrote the music, had ever seen a game when they created the song in 1908.

1950 – At Toledo (American Association), Marlin Stuart of Toledo pitches a 1 – 0 perfect game against Indianapolis. It is the second perfect game in league history. The Tigers will soon call up Stuart.

1951:

The third-place Red Sox score three runs in the 7th to beat the A’s, 6 – 5. Sox pitcher Ray Scarborough gets beaned with an errant pickoff throw and is knocked unconscious; reliever Willard Nixon earns the win.

Former Cubs farmhand Boyd Tepler brings a $450,000 suit against baseball, the Chicago Cubs, and William Wrigley, citing an arm injury he suffered in 1944. His suit contends that “negligent” coaching allowed him to continue with flaws in his pitching motion that resulted in damage to his arm and the end of his promising career.

Behind three-run homers by Andy Pafko and Duke Snider, Don Newcombe coasts to an easy win over the Giants.

1952 – Phils manager Eddie Sawyer is fired. Steve O’Neill will replace him the next day.

1955:

Boston’s young star 1B Harry Agganis dies of complications following a bout with pneumonia.

The Orioles trade 2B Bobby Young to the Indians for IF Hank Majeski.

1958:

Billy Pierce of the White Sox retires 26 Washington Senators in a row before pinch-hitter Ed Fitz Gerald loops a double to become the only baserunner. Pierce then fans Albie Pearson to win, 3 – 0. It is Pierce’s third straight shutout.

At Cincinnati, Johnny Temple drills a two-out triple in the 9th inning to drive in two runs. The Redlegs beat the Giants, 6 – 5.

1959 – With the players voting, Hank Aaron gets a unanimous vote for the All-Star Game, making him the first player so selected.

1961 – Gene Green, Willie Tasby and Dale Long hit consecutive home runs for the Senators as they trim Cleveland, 8 – 5.

1962 – The Cards receive a pair of shutouts from Larry Jackson and Ray Sadecki to sweep the Cubs, 4 – 0 and 8 – 0. Jackson yields four hits in the first game and Sadecki allows five hits in the nitecap. Sadecki hits a 9th-inning home run and Julian Javier and Curt Flood hit back-to-back homers off Bob Anderson.

1963:

Chicago’s Ray Herbert allows five Yankee singles to beat the Yankees, 6 – 0, and give the Sox a virtual tie for first. The Sox assault youthful pitching star Jim Bouton (10-3) for all their runs in the first five innings.

Detroit’s Norm Cash achieves a rarity by playing an entire game at 1B without a fielding chance, as the Twins win, 10 – 6.

The Phillies’ Ray Culp (10-5) beats the Pirates, 13 – 4, but CF Tony Gonzalez’s streak of 205 straight errorless games ends with a 7th-inning muff. Johnny Callison hits for the cycle for the only time in his career. Callison adds a walk and a throw from right field to catcher Clay Dalrymple in the 4th that nips a runner. Dalrymple homers in the 8th.

A meager crowd of 6,497 fans at Fenway Park sees one of the park’s great catches. Cleveland OF Al Luplow races full tilt for Dick Williams’s drive to right-centerfield, reaches over the fence, and gloves the ball while flipping over the barrier into the bullpen. Cleveland wins, 6 – 4.

1964:

Roberto Clemente’s two-run, tape-measure double finds its way out of Forbes Field at its farthest point, touching off Pittsburgh’s come-from-behind, 8th-inning, game-winning rally off Cincinnati’s Bob Purkey and Bill Henry. Dick Schofield singles, Bill Virdon doubles and both score on Clemente’s ground-rule double that bounces over the center-field wall. The game is thus deadlocked and, one out later, Clemente will score the deciding run ahead of Manny Mota’s home run off Henry.

Cleveland 3B Max Alvis is stricken with spinal meningitis. He will be disabled for six weeks but will make the All-Star team in 1965.

1967:

Al Kaline breaks his hand as he slams his bat into the bat rack after being struck out by Sam McDowell as the second-place Tigers lose to Cleveland, 8 – 1. The future Hall of Famer will miss 28 games.

Baltimore RF Frank Robinson is hurt in a collision at second base with Al Weis, as the White Sox beat the Orioles, 5 – 0. Robinson suffers double vision and will miss 28 games.

1969 – Cubs southpaw Ken Holtzman retires the first 20 batters, before the Cards erupt for two runs in the 7th and one in the 8th to win, 3 – 1. Steve Carlton (8-5) strikes out 12.

1971 – Roberto Clemente’s 1,200th RBI comes in the form of a tie-breaking, 8th-inning, pinch-hit homer off Joe Hoerner, culminating Pittsburgh’s come-from-behind 10 – 9 victory over Philadelphia in the second game of a doubleheader. Clemente is thus the first of only six players in the 33-year history of Veterans Stadium to reach the centerfield upper deck. Reporter Gene Collier, in town to visit the newly-opened ballpark, will remember this blast more than three decades later, writing in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the unforgettable moment when this milestone blast struck the “enormous mock Liberty Bell mounted on the facing of the upper deck in dead center,” thus preceding by more than ten months Greg Luzinski’s celebrated May 16, 1972 shot to the same location.

1972:

Mickey Lolich is staked to a 4 – 0 lead when the Tigers hit three consecutive 1st-inning home runs against New York’s Wade Blasingame, making his American League debut. Tony Taylor leads off with a walk before Aurelio Rodriguez, Al Kaline and Willie Horton wade in with homers to finish Blasingame. Lolich, pitching on two days’ rest, notches his 12th win, 5 – 2. Bobby Murcer’s home run accounts for one of the Yank runs.

Continuing his slugging, John Mayberry belts a home run, double and two singles to lead the Royals to a 6 – 4 win over the White Sox. Mayberry has driven in 20 runs in his last 11 games.

Nolan Ryan (8-5) triples and scores the go-ahead run in the 7th as California beats the Twins, 3 – 1. Poor baserunning in the 4th doesn’t help the Twins’ cause: with Harmon Killebrew on third base and Steve Braun on second with no outs, Jim Nettles flies out to Jim Spencer in left field. Killebrew fakes a dash to the plate and Braun starts from second base. A relay catches Braun at second and another throw nips Killebrew at third for a triple play.

1973:

David Clyde, 18 and fresh out of Houston’s Westchester High School, makes his much hyped debut with the Rangers, before 35,698, the largest Rangers crowd of the year. Clyde, the number one pick in the 1973 amateur draft, walks the first two Twins batters he faces, then gets Bobby Darwin, George Mitterwald and Joe Lis on swinging third strikes. Clyde goes five innings and gives up only one hit – a two-run home run by Mike Adams – walks seven and strikes out eight. He is the winner, 4 – 3.

Led by 1B Joe Torre, who hits for the cycle, the Cards tally 22 hits to roll over the Pirates, 15 – 4. Torre hits a double in the 1st, homers in the 3rd, and triples in the 4th. After hitting into a double play, and then walking in the 8th, Torre asks to be pinch run for, but Red Schoendienst leaves him in the game. Torre then singles in the 9th inning, completing the cycle, and raising his average to .338.

1974 – The Angels fire manager Bobby Winkles. Whitey Herzog will serve as interim boss for four games before Dick Williams assumes the reins.

1977:

The Cubs edge the Expos, 4 – 3, as Bruce Sutter shuts down Montreal for two innings to earn his 20th save. Sutter’s ERA is now a minuscule 0.69.

The Giants’ Willie McCovey smashes two home runs, one a grand slam, in the 6th inning to pace a 14 – 9 victory over the Reds. McCovey becomes the first player to twice hit two home runs in one inning (April 12, 1973 was the first time), and also becomes the all-time National League leader with 17 career grand slams. Andre Dawson, in 1978 and 1986, will also clout two round trippers in an inning twice. Reliever Joe Hoerner helps as he enters the 6th with two outs, the sacks full, and the Reds holding a 7 – 6 lead. He hits two batters, then serves up the slam to McCovey.

1978 – New York’s Graig Nettles belts a two-run homer in the 14th to give the Yankees a 6 – 4 win over the Red Sox. Dick Drago serves up Nettles’ 13th homer of the year. Sparky Lyle (6-1) wins in relief. Ron Guidry (13-0) starts for New York and gives up eight hits in six innings.

1980 – The Dodgers’ Jerry Reuss pitches a 8 – 0 no-hitter against the Giants at Candlestick Park. Reuss, who strikes out only two but doesn’t walk a batter, is deprived of a perfect game when SS Bill Russell throws wildly to first base on Jack Clark’s easy grounder in the 1st inning.

1982 – The Braves tie the major-league record with seven double plays in a 2 – 0, 14-inning win over Cincinnati. Mario Soto pitches ten shutout innings for the Reds but gets no decision. The loss starts the Reds on a streak where they’ll lose 20 out of 23 games.

1984 – In the 3rd inning against the Reds, Giants OF Dusty Baker swipes second base, third, and home, garnering three of his four season steals. Baker swipes second, and the next batter walks, then gets caught in a rundown. Dusty steals third during the rundown and just keeps running. San Francisco wins 14 – 9, with Chili Davis adding a pinch grand slam in the five-run 5th. Randy Lerch wins with a third of an inning of relief.

1985:

San Francisco’s Jeffrey Leonard hits for the cycle in a 7 – 6 loss to the Reds. He is the first Giant to do so since Dave Kingman in 1972.

The Padres trade 2B Alan Wiggins to the Orioles for pitcher Roy Lee Jackson and a player to be named later. Wiggins, who recently completed his second stay at a drug rehabilitation center, was never reactivated by the Padres, who vowed that he would never play for them again.

1986 – Give him an A for effort. San Francisco 2B Robby Thompson is caught stealing four times in the Giants’ 7 – 6, 12-inning win over the Reds, establishing a new major league record. Thompson is thrown out by Bo Diaz in the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 11th innings.

1987:

Darrell Evans slugs a two-run home run in the 1st inning off Mike Boddicker for his 2,000th career hit, but his Tigers lose to Baltimore, 4 – 2.

A’s rookie Mark McGwire hits three home runs and drives in five runs helping to defeat the Indians, 13 – 3.

Tony Gwynn goes 3 for 4 in San Diego’s 8 – 4 win over Atlanta to raise his batting average to .387. Gwynn will finish the season at .370 to win his second National League batting title.

The Bend Bucks, managed by Mel Roberts, meet the Boise Hawks, managed by Derrel Thomas, in a Northwest League game. It marks the first time in Organized Baseball history that two black managers have faced each other.

1990 – Brewers DH Dave Parker gets his 2,500th career hit in a 5 – 4 win over the Yankees.

1991 – The Indians trade P Tom Candiotti and OF Turner Ward to the Blue Jays in exchange for OF Glenallen Hill, OF Mark Whiten, P Denis Boucher and a player to be named later.

1992:

The Dodgers trade OF Kal Daniels to the Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later.

The Mets edge the Cards with all the runs coming on homers: Dave Gallagher and Tim Jones match dingers, and Howard Johnson’s homer in the bottom of the 9th makes John Franco (6-0) a winner. It will be Johnson’s last homer of the year as he will not hit one in July and will go down with a season-ending wrist injury in the first days of August.

1993:

Anthony Young sets a major league record losing his 24th straight decision as the Cardinals beat the Mets, 5 – 3.

Atlanta OF Ron Gant fans four times against Houston’s Darryl Kile, giving him seven consecutive strikeouts, and a record-tying ten in his last three games. The Astros and Kile defeat the Braves, 3 – 0.

The Calgary Cannons of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League explode for 35 hits in a 23 – 12 pasting of the Las Vegas Stars. Cannons OF Lee Tinsley goes 7 for 8 in the contest. Calgary ties a PCL record with nine consecutive hits in the 2nd inning.

The Milwaukee Brewers introduce the first Sausage Race during the 6th inning of their game at Milwaukee County Stadium. To everyone’s surprise, physical characters dressed as cartoon sausages replace the “dot race” that had been a feature on the scoreboard for a few years already and make a dash from left field to home plate. The race is a huge success with fans and is made a permanent fixture, while copycat races will be introduced around baseball as a result.

1994 – The Cubs defeat the Pirates, 2 – 1, as P Randy Myers records his 200th career save. He is only the third lefthander to reach the mark.

1996:

The Athletics stroke eight home runs in an 18 – 2 pounding of the Angels. Scott Brosius hits two, while Mark McGwire, Geronimo Berroa, Jason Giambi, Terry Steinbach, Ernie Young and Jose Herrera also connect. The seven different players going deep ties the major league record.

The Rockies pound the Dodgers, 13 – 1, as Andres Galarraga leads the way with a double, two homers, and a team-record eight runs driven in.

1997:

The White Sox defeat the Twins, 10 – 6, as OF Albert Belle goes 5 for 5, including a double and home run. C Jorge Fabregas drives in four runs for Chicago.

The Orioles acquire OF Geronimo Berroa from the Athletics in exchange for P Jimmy Haynes.

The left side of the Kansas City infield accounts for ten runs as 3B Craig Paquette and SS Jay Bell each drive home five in the Royals’ 16 – 3 win over Milwaukee.

1998 – Ismael Valdes hurls a one-hit shutout in beating the Pirates, 2 – 0. Pittsburgh’s only hit is a single by 1B Kevin Young as Valdes fans seven without walking a batter.

1999 – In front of 56,530 fans, the 1,765th and last major league game is played at the Kingdome with the Mariners beating the Rangers, 5 – 2. Ken Griffey, Jr. fittingly clouts the last homer. Griffey hit 198 of his 377 homers at the Dome. The Mariners will open their new home – Safeco Field – on July 15th.

2000:

The Devil Rays defeat the Blue Jays, 11 – 1. In doing so, Tampa Bay ends Toronto’s streak of 23 consecutive games with at least one home run – two shy of the major league mark.

The Dodgers release veteran P Orel Hershiser, who announces his retirement.

Heavy medical news. Houston reliever Billy Wagner undergoes surgery to repair a partially-torn flexor tendon and is out for the year. Anaheim’s Jason Dickson and Tampa Bay’s Juan Guzman undergo arthroscopic surgery on their right shoulders and will miss the remainder of the season as well.

The Atlanta Braves back off from their decision to bar from their chartered flights four team announcers who had raised questions about the catcher’s box at Turner Field. After TBS discussed the width of the catcher’s box in a game against the Brewers three days ago, Skip Caray, Pete Van Wieren, Joe Simpson and Don Sutton were kicked off a flight to Montreal and had to take a commercial flight. TBS aired a video showing the catcher’s box was four to five inches smaller than it was the previous night, when Milwaukee management complained about where Braves catcher Javy Lopez was setting up. Opposing teams have long said that Atlanta pitchers are given the benefit of an extra-wide strike zone, particularly on the outside corners.

2001:

The Braves bump the slumping Phillies out of first place in the NL East with a 10 – 4 win over them. The Phils were 35-18 on June 1st, and led the Braves by eight games before starting their tumble. Chipper Jones drives in three runs and Odalis Perez allows two earned runs.

The Astros obtain P Ron Villone from the Rockies for P Jay Powell.

2002 – As part of a six-player deal, the Indians trade their #1 starter, right-hander Bartolo Colon, to the Expos for first baseman Lee Stevens, three minor league prospects and cash. Those three youngsters are SS Brandon Phillips, southpaw Cliff Lee and flycatcher Grady Sizemore, all of whom will become top-flight major leaguers. Colon will pitch very well in half a season in Montreal and the Expos also obtain P Tim Drew in the trade, but it does not balance the scales in the heavily-lopsided deal.

2003 – In the 50-minute bottom of the 1st inning at Fenway Park against the Marlins, the Red Sox establish a major league record by scoring ten runs before making an out. Lead-off hitter Johnny Damon, with a single, double and triple, ties a major league mark with three hits in an inning as the home team equals an American League record for most runs scored in the 1st inning with 14.

2005 – In beating the Blue Jays, 4 – 3, Hideo Nomo of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays records his 200th win between Nippon Pro Baseball and the major leagues, gaining him entry into the Meikyukai.

2007 – Ryan Howard hits his 100th career home run in a 9 – 6 loss to the Reds. The shot against Aaron Harang makes him the fastest player in major league history to hit 100 homers, doing so in his 325th game.

2008:

In a 15 – 6 Mets win in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees, Carlos Delgado drives in nine runs, setting a franchise record. Delgado hits a grand slam (the 12th of his career), a three-run homer and a two-run double.

Dallas McPherson goes deep off Justin Berg; it is the seventh straight game in which the Albuquerque Isotopes star has homered. This ties the all-time minor league record.

2009:

Tim Wakefield makes his 382nd start for the Boston Red Sox, tying Roger Clemens for most in franchise history. The 42-year-old knuckleballer earns his tenth win of the year with six scoreless innings against the Atlanta Braves. Boston prevails, 1 – 0, with Mark Kotsay driving in the game’s only run.

J.A. Happ registers his first career shutout in a 10 – 0 drubbing of the Blue Jays by Philadelphia. Jayson Werth homers twice, including a mammoth blast that reaches the upper deck of the Rogers Centre.

The Indians send Mark DeRosa, who has hit 13 homers, to the Cardinals for Chris Perez and a player to be named later.

2010:

Jamie Moyer of the Phillies gives a 3rd-inning two-run homer to the Blue Jays’ Vernon Wells to pass Robin Roberts for most gopher balls given up in the major leagues with 506. But the hit doesn’t phase Moyer, who cruises to an 11 – 2 victory, thanks to six unearned runs, the result of four Toronto errors.

Josh Hamilton hits a 468-foot blast into the upper deck in right-centerfield to extend his hitting streak to 21 games and lead the Rangers to a 10 – 1 win over Houston. The Rangers are now 20-5 in June and have taken a four-game lead over the Angels in the AL West.

Trailing 6 – 2 in the 9th, the Yankees rally for four runs against Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton to tie the game, then win it with a two-run homer by Robinson Cano against George Sherrill in the 10th. In the four-run rally, Cano drives in the first of the runs with a one-out double, then Chad Huffman sends two more runs home on a single. Curtis Granderson slides home ahead of James Loney’s throw on Colin Curtis’s grounder to first to tie the game.

Rodrigo López allows two hits in six innings in a 2 – 1 win over the Rays. Diamondbacks starting pitchers have now allowed only five hits in their past four games, a major league record.

2011 – Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt files for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court, blaming Major League Baseball’s refusal to approve a long-term television deal with Fox Sports that, McCourt claims, would have solved the team’s current cash flow challenge. The Dodgers are rumored to be on the verge of failing to meet salary obligations at the end of the month, and the move seeks to make it harder for MLB to seize control of the team. The bankruptcy does not affect the team on the field, as they pound out 25 hits in a 15 – 0 rout of Minnesota. The 25 hits tie the club record since its move to Los Angeles in 1958. Every starter in the lineup has at least a hit, a run scored and an RBI, a first for the team. Tony Gwynn, Matt Kemp and Trent Oeltjen all have four hits – as many as the Twins. Chad Billingsley is the beneficiary of the offensive windfall.

2012:

The Yankees lose two starting pitchers on the same day. First, they place CC Sabathia’s name on the disabled list with a groin strain, then in their game against the Indians, Andy Pettitte is hit by a line drive off the bat of Casey Kotchman in the 5th inning, breaking an ankle. Small consolation, the Yanks win the game, 5 – 4.

The Mets erupt for an uncharacteristic offensive outburst, crushing the Cubs, 17 – 1, their most runs in two years. They hit four homers, two by Daniel Murphy, a grand slam by Scott Hairston and a three-run shot by Ike Davis. With David Wright driving in five runs, those four players combine for all 17 RBI. Jon Niese is the beneficiary of all that offense, while Jeff Samardzija is charged with the loss.

Tim Lincecum and the Giants blank the Dodgers, 3 – 0. It is the first time in the Giants’ 123-year history that they shut out their rival Dodgers every contest of a three-game series.

2013 – Japan’s players union calls for the resignation of Nippon Pro Baseball Commissioner Ryozo Kato following revelations that Kato introduced a new baseball without discussing with or notifying players. The new livelier ball has resulted in a sharp increase in home runs. Kato’s claim that he did not know the ball was changed does little to give anyone confidence in his leadership.

2014 – For the second straight game, pitchers for the Lynchburg Hillcats of the Carolina League no-hit the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Cody Scarpetta and Benino Pruneda combine on the 5 – 0 win, one night after Lucas Sims and Alex Wilson had turned the trick in a 5 – 1 win. Wilmington’s sole run in the two days came courtesy of a walk, passed ball, error and groundout.

2017 – The University of Florida wins the first College World Series title in school history, defeating Louisiana State University, 6 – 1, in the final game of the tournament , completing a sweep of the best-of-three finals. P Alex Faedo is named the MVP of the series.

2018 – The Tigers fire pitching coach Chris Bosio for making “insensitive comments” in violation of team policy, although the precise nature of these comments is not disclosed. He is replaced by bullpen coach Rick Anderson.

2019 – The starters for the 2019 All-Star Game are named, at the conclusion of the fans’ vote. For the first time, this voting is two-tiered, with today’s winners the victors of a second round of strictly on-line voting among the three top finishers at each position, after the more traditional ballots have been counted. The results are well-balanced, with only one team managing as many as three players elected – the Astros with 3B Alex Bregman and OFs George Springer and Michael Brantley – and are generally representative of who have been the best players so far this year.

2021 – A little over a week after MLB has begun to systematically examine pitchers for foreign substances to improve grip, a first victim is caught: Hector Santiago of the Mariners is ejected after umpires discover an unknown sticky substance on his glove. The glove is impounded and sent for further analysis, while Santiago protests his innocence, claiming that he was only using rosin to prevent perspiration from dripping unto his hands. He will be issued a ten-game suspension.

2022 – The Orioles do something unprecedented in franchise history as they hit back-to-back homers in consecutive innings in defeating the Mariners, 9 – 2. Rookie Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle both connect in the 3rd, and Anthony Santander and Austin Hays follow suit in the 4th, with all four long balls coming against George Kirby.

2025:

A game in the Dominican Summer League ends up with one of the most lopsided scores ever seen in professional baseball as the DSL Miami defeat the DSL Rangers Blue, 29 – 0. In the majors, the last time there was such large winning marginwas in 1897, although similar routs are not totally unheard of in the DSL, where a game finished with a score of 38 – 2 in 2019.

Making a bid to become the first player in major league history to hit for the cycle four times, the Phillies’ Trea Turner comes to the plate in the 9th inning against position player Luke Williams needing a triple to complete the feat. His first two attempts to hit a line drive down the line go foul, after which he lifts a ball towards the left field fence. Turner runs all out, thinking the ball might hit the wall and he could end up on third base, but, alas, the ball clears the fence for his second homer of the game. Turner explains that he thought briefly about deliberately missing the plate, which would have left him credited with a triple, but decided against it. The Phillies defeat the Braves, 13 – 0.

The Angels announce that manager Ron Washington is stepping down for the remainder of the season to address a medical issue; bench coach Ray Montgomery takes over as interim manager.

Spencer Steer has the first three-homer night of his career for the Reds while pitcher Nick Martinez is busy working on a no-hitter, keeping the Padres hitless into the 9th inning, before Elias Diaz breaks up the bid. The Reds win, 8 – 1, but had Martinez been successful in completing the no-no, the combination of the two feats would have been unprecedented in major league history.
