PROSPECT1500.COM

Welcome to MLB Draft Week! My top 250 debuts here at Prospects1500 with my final 650 big board going live on draft morning at Three Quarter Slot. I will break down some of the top players in each grouping, but you can find full report for most of these players here.

Two years ago we had five players who would go 1-1 in most drafts, while last year we had a grouping of 1-1 worthy candidates but no sure fire superstar in the eyes of many. This year may be as deep a class as we have had in a while in terms of future big league talent, but the top talent is a step or two below recent years. While the White Sox and Athletics were ineligible for the top picks and slid to 10 and 11 respectively, they could well get the best player in the draft when we look back at it in a few years. The big winners are going to be the teams with extra bonus pool money, like the Mariners, as they can save on their top pick and use those savings on an incredibly deep prep shortstop and left handed pitching crop.

1. Seth Hernandez, RHP, Corona (CA)

2. Kade Anderson, LHP, LSU

3. Ethan Holliday, SS, Stillwater (OK)

4. Aiva Arquette, SS, Oregon State

5. Jamie Arnold, LHP, Florida State

This is actually a quite convenient cutoff as these are the five that got a good amount of consideration for the number one spot. Ultimately, I settled on Hernandez given he is already up to triple digits with his fastball and a current plus changeup to go with two breaking balls with plus potential and command of them all. Arnold was the top college arm for much of the year, but Anderson‘s season was just too good and ultimately his stuff played better and is at the top. Holliday looks to match his brother Jackson Holliday as the number one overall pick, to beat Justin Upton and B.J. Upton as the highest picked brothers in the draft, going one and two respectively. Arquette has massive power and a large frame, but answered the questions about his ability to stick at short this year, although there are still some detractors on his hit tool.

6. Eli Willits, SS, Fort Cobb-Broxton (OK)

7. Billy Carlson, SS, Corona (CA)

8. Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma

9. Kayson Cunningham, SS, Johnson (TX)

10. JoJo Parker, SS, Purvis (MS)

Willits is committed to Oklahoma where his brother plays and his dad is an assistant coach, but he won’t make it to campus as he has a plus hit tool and wheels to go with a polished defensive profile at short and is a “dark horse” to go 1-1. The single best defensive player in the class is Carlson, while the best pure hit tool belongs to Cunningham. Witherspoon and Parker are a pair of twins that will likely be drafted, as Kyson will go well ahead of brother Malachi, and JoJo ahead of brother Jacob.

11. Liam Doyle, LHP, Tennessee

12. Steele Hall, SS, Hewitt Trussville (AL)

13. Xavier Neyens, 3B, Mount Vernon (WA)

14. Wehiwa Aloy, SS, Arkansas

15. Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara

This is the grouping of massive upside but some genuine question marks. Doyle was the most dominant pitcher in college baseball at times this year, but his fiery personality, high effort delivery, and inconsistent command does leave some questions about how sure a thing he is and gives him a small amount of reliever risk. Hall did not leave many questions with his spring, as he is incredibly athletic and can really hit, but he reclassified from the 2026 class to 2025 in the fall and missed the entire showcase season, which means he did not get as much time against elite arms as most other in the class. In terms of pure raw power, there may not be anyone with as much as Neyens, but he is too passive at the plate and is a fringy defender at third. Speaking of Fringy defenders with big power, Aloy did enough to make a case to at least start his pro career at short, but not sure he will stick there long term. Bremner was an early 1-1 candidate for me coming into the year, but his stuff wasn’t as sharp throughout the season as it was over the summer, so he has slid down many boards.

16. Ike Irish, C/OF, Auburn

17. Kruz Schoolcraft, LHP, Sunset (OR)

18. Josh Hammond, SS/RHP, Wesleyan Christian Academy (NC)

19. Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek (GA)

20. Brendan Summerhill, OF, Arizona

The highest ranked “catcher” on the board is Irish, although injury and the play of Chase Fralick meant he got just 12 games behind the plate this year. He is all about the bat, as he could end up with plus hit and power, and the arm is more than enough to make up for some footwork issues behind the dish, or allow him to fit well in right. Schoolcraft is a massive prep lefty with a big fastball, nasty slider, and quality change with enough talent to be drafted as a power hitting first baseman, but he is the top prep lefty on the board instead for me. In February, Hammond was looked at as a pure pitching prospect, but he moved to the bullpen to focus on his hitting and absolutely mashed. On top of that, he proved he has an outside shot to stick at short.

21. Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest

22. Gavin Fien, SS, Great Oak (CA)

23. Caden Bodine, C, Coastal Carolina

24. Gavin Kilen, IF, Tennessee

25. Jace LaViolette, OF, Texas A&M

The best college defender is Houston, while the best college hit tool and best college defensive catcher is the same person in Bodine. Fien has one of the more unorthodox swings in the class, but all he has done is performed and kept climbing boards from the start of last summer all the way through the process. Kilen transferred to Tennessee this year where he really tapped into his potential that he didn’t full see while at Louisville, while LaViolette was once a 1-1 favorite, his season did not go as planned, individually or team, and has tumbled, but the pure talent is still immense.

26. Luke Stevenson, C, North Carolina

27. Gage Wood, RHP, Arkansas

28. Slater de Brun, OF, Summit (OR)

29. Devin Taylor, OF, Indiana

30. Sean Gamble, 2B/OF, IMG Academy (FL)

There are going to be plenty who will call Stevenson the best sure fire catcher in the draft. I have him second, but the draft eligible sophomore is an excellent defender with plenty of pop, there are just questions with the hit tool. You may have seen some highlights of Wood, as he is the one who threw the 19 strikeout no-hitter in the College World Series, and has one of the best fastballs in the class. Gamble has one big question in his game, and that is what position he will play, as he has seen time throughout the outfield and both middle infield spots, but he is a guy who projects to be average to better with all five tools.

31. Ethan Conrad, OF, Wake Forest

32. Cam Cannarella, OF, Clemson

33. Andrew Fischer, 1B, Tennessee

34. Jack Bauer, LHP, Lincoln-Way East (IL)

35. Zach Root, LHP, Arkansas

Cannarella was a star from the moment he set foot on campus with Clemson, but an injury plagued 2024 that carried over into the 2025 season in terms of power production has him falling down boards. He did show some of the power coming back down the stretch, and could well be the best defensive outfielder in the class. Bauer is a prep lefty the likes of which we have never seen, as he has been up to 102 with his fastball and, somehow, still has plenty of projection left in his frame. Meanwhile, Root is the opposite of that, not that he does not have a big fastball, but he is a guy with some effort in the delivery and tends to pitch backwards as much as anyone in the class.

36. Riley Quick, RHP, Alabama

37. Patrick Forbes, RHP, Louisville

38. Alex Lodise, SS, Florida State

39. Cameron Appenzeller, LHP, Glenwood (IL)

40. Tate Southisene, SS/OF, Basic (NV)

Lodise transferred in to Florida State and went on to win the Dick Howser Trophy, named after the former Seminole player, and answered many questions about his ability to stick at short, although he is far from a lock to stick there. Many have Appenzeller as the top prep lefty in the class, but he is too much projection to be that guy for me. That said, if he reaches his potential, he could be a legit number two starter in the big leagues. The Southisene family is essentially royalty at Basic at this point, ant Tate may be the best of the numerous brothers that have/will go through that program.

41. Anthony Eyanson, RHP, LSU

42. Jaden Fauske, C/OF, Nazareth Academy (IL)

43. Angel Cervantes, RHP, Warren (CA)

44. Ethan Petry, OF/1B, South Carolina

45. Nicky Becker, SS, Don Bosco Prep (NJ)

Eyanson may have as high a floor as any in the class, although he does lack the massive ceiling. That said, I would not at all be surprised to see his name as the first one from this class to make his big league debut. Cervantes could well have the best changeup of any pitcher coming out of the prep ranks, and a fastball that plays well above the velo would suggest thanks to it’s carry through the zone. Had we held the 2025 draft after the 2023 college baseball season, Petry likely would have gone 1-1 as he has ridiculous raw power, but he has big defensive questions and the hit tool needs work, although he has a good feel for the zone.

46. Quentin Young, 3B, Oaks Christian (CA)

47. Mason Neville, OF, Oregon

48. JB Middleton, RHP, Southern Miss

49. AJ Russell, RHP, Tennessee

50. Dean Curley, SS/3B, Tennessee

Young has two uncles who played in the big leagues, Dmitri and Delmon, and has some of the loudest tools in the class. He has a case for one of the top infield arms in the class and bonafide light tower power. While his future is likely at third or even right field, don’t be shocked to see a team allow the 6’6″ slugger get some reps at short early in his pro career. Southern Miss has a quality arm in every draft it seems, and Middleton is the latest, with a combination of stuff and polish, the fastball flirts with triple digits from an incredibly low slot, but commands all his offerings. The changeup does need to make massive strides if he is to stick in a rotation though. Russell and Curley are two more in what will likely be a massive draft for Tennessee, as Russell has an argument to have the best fastball in the class, and Curley likely would have been a first round lock if not for the real defensive struggles down the stretch.

51. Briggs McKenzie, LHP, Corinth Holders (NC)

52. Marcus Phillips, RHP, Tennessee

53. Aaron Watson, RHP, Trinity Christian Academy (FL)

54. Max Belyeu, OF, Texas

55. Brady Ebel, SS, Corona (CA)

56. Joseph Dzierwa, LHP, Michigan State

57. Charles Davalan, OF/2B, Arkansas

58. Brandon Compton, OF, Arizona State

59. Coy James, SS, Davie (NC)

60. Ryan Mitchell, SS, Houston (TN)

Belyeu suffered an injury in the middle of a season that could have seen him getting round one consideration, but the talent overall is there and should be a lock for day one. Ebel, son of Dino, the third player from Corona on the list and one of four I expect to hear drafted this year, is a quality infielder who has had to play off position because of Billy Carlson. Dzierwa was one of the better pitchers in an underrated Big Ten, while Compton has massive tools, but consistency and defensive chops have prevented him from being a sure fire first round pick.

61. Kyle Lodise, SS, Georgia Tech

62. Dax Kilby, SS, Newnan (GA)

63. Kane Kepley, OF, North Carolina

64. Matthew Fisher, RHP, Evansville Memorial (IN)

65. Landon Harmon, RHP, East Union Attendance Center (MS)

66. Johnny Slawinski, LHP, Johnson City (TX)

67. Jordan Yost, SS, Sickles (FL)

68. Daniel Dickinson, 2B, LSU

69. Alec Blair, OF, De La Salle (CA)

70. JD Thompson, LHP, Vanderbilt

Another Lodise, Kyle is the cousin of Alex and is the more polished defender with a pretty good change to stick at short, although he lacks the power at the plate. Kepley got on base via the HBP (27) than he was set down via strikeout (22) this year. To go with that he was 45-49 stealing bags and plays plus defense, making him an easy center fielder and table setter inthe lineup. Slawinski is a pitcher who is a must draft and sign this year, as his future is big and I see a ton of improvement to come and could be a top half of the first round pick if he makes it to campus. Dickinson is one of the few pure 2B prospects who is a bonafide draft prospect, but he has a hit tool that flirts with plus although the impact is limited due to well below average power.

71. Lucas Franco, SS/3B, Cinco Ranch (TX)

72. Henry Ford, 1B/OF, Virginia

73. Brayden Jaksa, C, Irvington (CA)

74. Dean Moss, OF, IMG Academy (FL)

75. Korbyn Dickerson, OF, Indiana

76. Brock Sell, OF, Tokay (CA)

77. Uli Fernsler, LHP, Novi (MI)

78. Mason Pike, RHP, Puyallup (WA)

79. Cade Obermueller, LHP, Iowa

80. Henry Godbout, 2B/3B, Virginia

After being selected in the final round of the 2022 MLB Draft, Dickerson was redshirted in 2023 and only stepped to the plate 22 times in 2024 for Louisville. He transferred to Indiana for 2025 where he played an excellent center field for one of the best outfield trios in the country and flashed plenty of pop as well. Sell is a name to watch as he could well be the first name on this list to go undrafted, not because of talent, he has a ton of it, but because he is a Stanford commit and could be a tough signing. Fernsler‘s stuff isn’t loud, but it all plays up with three pitches that should be at least average and quality command to go with an arm slot that makes it tough to pick up the ball and a ton of projection left. Pike was once a highly regarded shortstop prospect, but the arm on the mound is just too good, although there is a ton of reliever risk. If he does proceed as a reliever it will be as a high leverage one.

81. Chase Shores, RHP, LSU

82. Gavin Turley, OF, Oregon State

83. Mitch Voit, 2B, Michigan

84. Nick Dumesnil, OF, Cal Baptist

Any interest in a 6’8″ flamethrower who has been up to 101? Then look no further than Shores. Really like triple digit fastballs? I have Ellwanger in this grouping as well. The problem with both is the ability to reel in the stuff enough to command it, but the upside is huge if the can find that command. Yeaman was a pop up prospect after two years of junior college he burst onto the scene for UC Irvine and mashed all year. Quinn-Irons made some highlight reel catches in center and launched his share of moon shots as well. There is some swing and miss concerns, but there are a ton of tools to like here.

100. Griffin Hugus, RHP, Miami

Schubart has launched some of the more majestic home runs in his time in Stillwater, but the swing and miss is real and the defense leaves a ton to be desired. In reality, his future is probably as a DH, but that power tool is just too big to ignore. Sime came into the year as a power fastball first and only guy, but he started to show the ability to spin a breaking ball much better during the season, enough it has received grades bordering on plus. That said, he has some real command issues and is still just a two pitch guy, so it is hard to project him as anything but a power reliever. Haley has one of the easiest to root for stories in the draft, undergoing TJ before high school, then diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma during his recovery from that surgery. Not long after being declared cancer free, he tore his UCL again and got an internal brace. The stuff is big, up to 97 with his fastball but there are going to be real questions about his longevity given the multiple elbow surgeries.

125. CJ Gray, RHP, A.L. Brown (NC)

As we get into the big chunks of the list, you will recognize some last names here, as Stroman is in fact the younger brother of Marcus Stroman, and Leiter is from that famous Leiter family. There is also a school-position combo that stands out, as Grindlinger comes from Huntington Beach, where they have a long track record of sending catchers to pro ball. Gray is a guy with big power, at the plate and in the field with a plus arm, but there have been some questions about his defense, although I firmly believe he will be at least an average defender at third. Wideman is another player from a non power conference I really like in this group, as he has double plus wheels and oozes tools. On the bases and in the outfield he shines, but he does need do a better job of zone recognition as he chases far too often. I don’t love comps, but sometimes they fit too well to ignore, and Serna is an easy comp to Gary Sanchez as he has a familiar leg kick stride and swing and cannon of an arm, but I think he can be a better defender behind the dish with a tick less power at the plate.

Here we find the second Witherspoon brother, with Malachi sitting this far down as his future is almost certainly in the bullpen, although he does have one of the better sliders in the class. Barr was largely an unknown coming into the year but absolutely shoved for Niagara with a fastball up to 97, the ability to really spin two breaking balls, and as much projection in the frame as anyone in the class. If not for a strong desire to play for Oregon State, Caraway could well have heard his name called late on day one of the 2023 draft but made it to campus instead. He lost much of his freshman season to injury and did not put up the numbers he was hoping for in his draft eligible sophomore season in 2025, but the talent is there and he should get enough draft love to be signed this year. What a difference this last year could have made if Paz didn’t get hurt early last summer, undergoing Tommy John and missing almost all of the showcase circuit and all of the 2025 season. He has been able to throw bullpens for teams down the stretch but, had he been healthy, he could well have been ranked 14 not 146.

174. Angel Laya, OF, Eastlake (CA)

175. Cam Maldonado, OF, Northeastern

There are some really interesting high school arms here but I will only highlight a couple. Brett Crossland (one of two Crosslands in this grouping, not related) has a quality four pitch mix including a fastball-changeup combo that could develop into plus pitches, while Yoder has a long frame with plenty of stuff, he just really needs to reel in the command and stay on top of his breaking ball better. Iredale is as well travelled as anyone in this draft class, born in Sydney, Australis before moving stateside to play at New Mexico Junior College, he transferred to Arkansas and faired well in the SEC. I am still not totally sold he can stick at third, but he has improved enough to at least begin his career at the hot corner. Pack is a guy I warned people heading into this cycle would be the victim of scout fatigue as he seemed to be at every showcase event possible the past few years, and I got caught up in it too. He is a solid center fielder with good wheels and an advanced approach, although there is little power either current or in his projection. Just a bit ago I mentioned I don’t love comps, so why not put in another one. This one is purely batting stance related, as it is pretty much impossible to see Maldonado at the plate and not think of Giancarlo Stanton’s stance. That is where the comp ends, as Maldonado does have solid power, it is his athleticism that stands out with a plus run tool and a guy who could very well stick in center.

200. Ryan Weingartner, SS, Penn State

There is a pair of college catchers in this grouping that flip flopped all season as to who was top of that next grouping of college catchers after the elites who will likely go in the first round. Ultimately Jay just does beat out Bryan as he has a strong arm and plenty of pop at the plate while running quite well for a catcher. Bryan is more of your traditional catcher athletically, but he has a better shot to stick behind the dish and become a solid defender, although his impact with the bat is a notch lower. Martinez was a lock to be the top player from UC Irvine before Yeaman’s rise this season, but don’t sleep on him. He does not have the big power from a typical first baseman, and he is a fringy at best defender even at that position, but there are times he looks to have a potential plus hit tool. Willcox and Worley are a pair of quality prep arms that will be draft eligible sophomores if they make it to campus, so I expect them both to be targets of those teams that are able to save money with their top picks.

225. Ben Moore, LHP, Old Dominion

A couple of glue guys from a Texas team that was the number two national seed this season, as Flores and Galvan are both in this group. Flores has two big questions, those being the hit tool and the range for short, but the glove itself and the plus arm are easy left side of the infield tools, and there is some genuine pop in the bat. Galvan was not a big draft prospect coming into the year, but he seemed to be at the heart of every rally for the horns and managed that staff really well. The brother of the number 14 overall draft pick in 2023 and current catcher for the Chicago White Sox, Kyle Teel, Aiden was a quality two way guy for Virginia. As a pro though he should be purely a position player where he has a shot to stick in center but enough arm for right. He lacks much in the power department, but has a solid hit tool. One guy who could well be announced as a two way guy is Hedges who projects as a reliever on the mound, but most likely will be a third baseman where he could be one of the better defenders at that position in this class.

249. Luke LaCourse, RHP, Bay City Western (MI)

250. Justin Mitrovich, RHP, Elon

Wrapping up the top 250 we have Foutch, a big armed reliever in the SEC followed immediately by Episcope, an undersized Ivy Leaguer. Meanwhile, Agbayani makes the list, son of former Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani. Bruin will start his career in the infield, although many scouts believe his future is in the outfield, but the thing few question is the hit tool. Donay has as wide a stance at the plate as you will find, but that doesn’t prevent him from really tapping into some power. He has seen plenty of time behind the dish for the Gators, but he would be a below average defender at best as a pro and will likely be in the outfield or first base. Elon tends to send a quality arm into the draft every few years, and this year it is Mitrovich. He has a fastball into the mid-90s, a quality gyro slider, and a tumbling changeup that has received plus grades.

MLB ROUNDUP: GARRETT CROCHET TOSSES FIRST SHUTOUT IN RED SOX WIN

In his 51st career start, Garrett Crochet accomplished two feats in one dominant outing: his first career complete game and first career shutout. And that was all the Boston Red Sox needed to walk away with a 1-0 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Crochet threw 100 pitches, allowed just three hits and struck out nine while walking none to lead the Red Sox to their ninth straight win. It also marked the ninth straight appearance in which he fanned at least seven batters.

Roman Anthony supplied Boston with the only run of the game, a one-out double that scored Carlos Narvaez in the fourth inning. Trevor Story and Jarren Duran also doubled for the Red Sox.

Yandy Diaz, Curtis Mead and Taylor Walls recorded the lone hits for the Rays, who dropped their fifth game in six tries.

Padres 5, Phillies 4

Manny Machado’s sacrifice fly snapped a tie in the bottom of the seventh inning as San Diego clinched a series win over visiting Philadelphia.

Machado’s drive to deep right field scored Fernando Tatis Jr., who started the rally with a one-out single off Tanner Banks (2-1) and raced to third on Luis Arraez’s single to center. Jackso Merrill provided much of the firepower for the Padres, hitting a pair of home runs and driving in three. He entered the game on a 5-for-53 skid that dropped his average to .258.

Rookie David Morgan (1-1) pitched an inning of scoreless relief for his first career win. Jeremiah Estrada, pitching for the third straight night, got the last three outs for his third save of the year.

Cubs 5, Yankees 2

Matthew Boyd allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings to reach double-digit victories for the first time in his career as Chicago won in New York. Boyd improved to 5-0 over his past six starts and allowed two runs or fewer for the ninth straight time.

Yankees’ ace Max Fried (11-3) exited with a blister on his left index finger after three innings. Fried allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits in his shortest outing of the season.

Aaron Judge homered in the ninth to reach 35 homers this season and 350 for his career to end the shutout bid for Chicago.

Mariners 15, Tigers 7

Both Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a home run as visiting Seattle put up a season-high 15 runs in a rout of Detroit.

Luke Raley blasted a three-run homer for the Mariners, who tagged newly dubbed All-Star Casey Mize for 15 runs a day after plating 12 against Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Cal Raleigh remained at 38 home runs, one shy of tying the record for most homers prior to the All-Star break.

Riley Greene homered and drove in four runs for the Tigers, who dropped their third straight, while Zach McKinstry belted a two-run home run.

Astros 5, Rangers 4 (11 inn.)

Zack Short hit an opposite-field, walk-off single in the 11th inning and Houston snapped a four-game skid with a victory over visiting Texas.

Short plated Cam Smith from second base with his single to right field off Rangers reliever Hoby Milner. Robert Garcia (1-5) walked Smitha and Kenedy Corona and ultimately took the loss after being charged with both 11-inning runs.

Texas pulled ahead 4-3 when Adolis Garcia ripped a single to left in the top of the 11th that scored Marcus Semien. Bennett Sousa (3-0) allowed the Adolis Garcia single but held the line there. The Astros got three solo home runs with two outs in the game.

Guardians 6, White Sox 2

Kyle Manzardo put Cleveland in front for good with a solo homer in the sixth inning and the Guardians added three more to run away from host Chicago.

Tanner Bibee held the White Sox to two runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings to record his first win since May 22. Carlos Santana was 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Guardians, who have won five of six, while Steven Kwan added a single and two RBIs.

Kyle Teel drove in both runs on a fourth-inning single for Chicago, which has dropped five of seven.

Reds 4, Rockies 3

Will Benson smacked a triple to left field to plate the game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth, then scored the winning run on a fielding error two batters later to help Cincinnati escape with the win over visiting Colorado.

Noelvi Marte homered and Gavin Lux added a single and a double for the Reds, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the seventh inning. Austin Hays contributed two hits and an RBI.

Ryan Ritter blasted a two-run home run for the Rockies, who narrowly missed out on their third series win of the season, and Yanquiel Fernandez added an RBI double.

Twins 12, Pirates 4

Byron Buxton became the first player to hit for the cycle at Target Field — and the 12th in Minnesota history — to lead the host Twins to a victory over Pittsburgh in Minneapolis.

Buston went 5-for-5 with two RBIs for his first career cycle and accomplished the feat on his own bobblehead promotional giveaway. Willi Castro was 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Twins, while Kody Clemens added a home run and three RBIs.

Jack Suwinski homered for the Pirates, and Joey Bart doubled and singled while driving in a run.

Braves 7, Cardinals 6

Sean Murphy’s three-run homer in the eighth inning helped visiting Atlanta grab a one-run lead, then Jurickson Profar drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth as the Braves edged St. Louis.

Ronald Acuna Jr. and Marcell Ozuna each had a home run for Atlanta, which won for the third time in four games, while Profar added a double.

Nolan Gorman paced the Cardinals with two hits, including a two-run home run, while Yohel Pozo homered and doubled. Brendan Donavan also had two hits for the Cards, who suffered their third loss in four games.

Marlins 6, Orioles 0

Miami starter Janson Junk held Baltimore scoreless on five hits through seven innings as Miami ended a three-game losing streak with an impressive road win.

Miami’s Derek Hill drove in two runs, and Xavier Edwards hit a two-run homer as the Marlins scored all their runs across the final three innings. Dane Myers matched Hill and Edwards with two hits.

Gunnar Henderson had two doubles for the Orioles, who lost for the second time in their last eight games. Trevor Rogers (2-1), who was traded from the Marlins to Baltimore last summer, allowed only a lead-off single to Myers in the fifth and a two-out single to Myers in the seventh.

Dodgers 2, Giants 1

Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings, Alex Vesia emerged from a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and visiting Los Angeles snapped a seven-game losing streak with a victory over San Francisco.

Michael Conforto had three hits and scored both Dodgers runs, helping the defending champions end their longest losing skid since 2017.

Conforto singled then scored on a Tommy Edman infield out in the second and also came home on a Hyeseong Kim single in the sixth to produce the only scoring against Giants starter Landen Roupp and three relievers.

The loss was just San Francisco’s third in its past 10 games.

Mets 3, Royals 1

Frankie Montas allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning, and Juan Soto clubbed a two-run homer, securing New York its first road series win in more than a month with a victory over Kansas City.

Making his fourth start of the season after missing roughly the first three months with a lat strain, Montas (2-1) was quite solid. He survived a 21-pitch first inning without yielding a run. For the game, he gave up four hits and struck out five; his only earned run came on Jonathan India’s RBI double in the sixth.

Kansas City won four straight entering this series, but is 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position the last two days. India’s two doubles accounted for half of the Royals’ hits Saturday.

Brewers 6, Nationals 5

Caleb Durbin’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth capped a three-run rally that lifted host Milwaukee past Washington.

Andrew Vaughn tied the game by lacing a two-run double to the wall in right-center, giving him 10 RBI in his first five games with the team, before Durbin fisted an inside fastball over first to cap Milwaukee’s sixth straight win.

The Nationals outhit the Brewers 11-9, with rookie third baseman Brady House starring in defeat, belting his first two MLB homers.

Angels 10, Diamondbacks 5

Mike Trout had two hits, including the 395th home run of his career, and drove in four runs to lead Los Angeles over slumping Arizona in Anaheim, Calif.

Nolan Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a walk and an RBI the Angels, who finished with a season-high 15 hits. All-Star Yusei Kikuchi (4-6) picked up the win, allowing three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out five and left one batter after taking a 105-mph comebacker by Josh Naylor off his left shoulder.

Eugenio Suarez hit two home runs and James McCann had two hits for the Diamondbacks, who lost their third straight game and for the eighth time in 11 contests. Zac Gallen (7-10) suffered the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits over five innings. It was the seventh time this season that Gallen has allowed at least five runs in a game.

Athletics 4, Blue Jays 3

Brent Rooker hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth and drove in three runs to lead the Athletics past Toronto in West Sacramento, Calif., evening the series at one game apiece.

Lawrence Butler also drove and Mason Miller registered his 18th save for the Athletics. Leo Jimenez homered and Ernie Clement and Bo Bichette had two hits apiece for Toronto, which lost for just the second time in 13 games.

Jacob Lopez (3-5) gave up two runs and four hits over five innings for the A’s. He struck out five and walked two. It was a big turnaround for Lopez, who was pounded while lasting just 1 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays in Toronto on May 29. He allowed seven runs and six hits in the 12-0 loss.

PAUL SKENES, TARIK SKUBAL NAMED ALL-STAR GAME STARTERS

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes and Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal were named All-Star Game starters and will open the contest Tuesday at Atlanta for the National League and American League, respectively.

Skenes was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Dave Roberts, who will manage the National League, while Skubal was selected by the New York Yankees’ Aaron Boone, who will manage the American League.

Skenes, 23, will be making his second start for the National League in his first two major league seasons. In last year’s All-Star Game, won by the American League 5-3 at Arlington, Texas, Skenes walked one in a scoreless first inning.

The Pirates’ ace is just 4-8 this season but has a major league-leading 2.01 ERA over 20 starts with 131 strikeouts over 121 innings. Skenes has a 1.49 ERA over his past 12 starts.

Skubal, 28, also is making his second consecutive All-Star Game appearance in his sixth season. He followed American League starter Corbin Burnes in last season’s game with a perfect second inning.

The Tigers’ ace is 10-3 with a 2.23 ERA in 19 starts after winning his first AL Cy Young Award last season when he went 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA in 31 starts. Skubal has a 2.05 ERA over his past 14 starts.

The last Tigers pitcher to start an All-Star Game was right-hander Max Scherzer in 2013.

RED SOX RHP HUNTER DOBBINS SAYS HE’S DONE FOR SEASON AFTER TEARING RIGHT ACL

BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox right-hander Hunter Dobbins said on Saturday he knew his season was probably over when he felt a familiar feeling in his knee.

He was right. Dobbins was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, his second ACL tear in his right knee.

“Yeah. I’ve torn my ACL in this knee before and it was the same feeling,” he said, standing in the middle of Boston’s clubhouse with a red sleeve on his right leg. “Kind of some denial went into it, tried to go through that warm-up pitch, felt the same sensation again so, at that point, I knew what it was.”

Dobbins tore the same ACL playing high school football.

Covering first base in the second inning of Boston’s 5-4 walk-off win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night, the 25-year-old Dobbins stepped awkwardly and limped after recording an out by making a catch on a throw from first baseman Abraham Toro.

Dobbins took one warm-up toss before manager Alex Cora stopped him from attempting any more.

“Tough,” Cora said before the Red Sox faced the Rays. “He put himself on the map, right, did a good job for us. When it happened, I thought something minor. Talking to him, he felt it right away. He’s been through that before.”

Dobbins said he found out about Boston’s dramatic win while being examined.

“I was actually in the MRI machine and they were giving me score updates in between each one,” he said. “Right after the last one they said, ‘I think you’d like to hear this, you just won by a walk-off.’ That was pretty cool to hear the guys picked me up.”

The Red Sox placed him on the 15-day injured list Saturday and recalled right-hander Richard Fitts.

“In my head I have opening day next year kind of circled,” Dobbins said. “Whether or not that’s realistic, I don’t know, but that’s my goal.”

PHILLIES ENRAGED BY MISIOROWSKI’S ALL-STAR NOD: ‘F—–G TERRIBLE’

When Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski was named to the National League All-Star squad after just five big-league starts, it raised plenty of eyebrows around baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies, in particular, were enraged by the news.

After Misiorowski was chosen over Philadelphia starters Ranger Suárez and Cristopher Sánchez – both of whom are enjoying spectacular seasons – multiple Phillies players ripped the league for snubbing their teammates in favor of what they see as a marketing ploy.

“What a joke,” shortstop Trea Turner told Matt Gelb of The Athletic. “That’s f—–g terrible. I mean, that’s terrible, dude.”

“I mean, it’s not the All-Star Game in the sense that the best players go there, or people who have had the best season. It’s whoever sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most,” Turner continued. “That’s essentially what it’s turned into.”

Outfielder Nick Castellanos went a step further, saying that MLB is turning the All-Star Game “into the Savannah Bananas.”

Misiorowski, the Brewers’ top prospect, turned into an overnight sensation after being called up in early June. He opened his big-league career with 11 consecutive hitless innings over two starts, narrowly missing the MLB record. He’s come back to earth a bit since, but still owns a 2.81 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 33 strikeouts in just 25 2/3 innings.

The 23-year-old went viral almost immediately, thanks in large part to a lethal fastball that averages nearly 100 mph, and a slider with enough movement to break hitters’ ankles.

Still, that’s not nearly enough to win over the Phillies, who are sending just two representatives – DH Kyle Schwarber and right-hander Zack Wheeler – to Atlanta. Both Sánchez and Suárez have been dominant starters behind Wheeler, helping to lead what’s been the majors’ best rotation.

Sánchez, an All-Star in 2024, owns the NL’s fourth-lowest ERA (2.59), while his 9.7 K/9 rate is a career high. Suárez, meanwhile, has fashioned a 1.94 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over his 13 starts.

Sánchez is scheduled to start Philadelphia’s first-half finale on Sunday, and would therefore be unable to pitch in Tuesday’s All-Star Game. MLB apparently offered the 28-year-old, who would receive a $50,000 bonus if named an All-Star, a replacement spot if he agreed to pitch in the game, but he declined because of injury concerns, sources told Gelb.

However, Sánchez’s agent, Gene Mato, told Gelb that his client would be “willing to pitch (Tuesday) no matter what.”

Suárez also said earlier this week that he turned down a similar conditional offer from the league in order to rest for the second half, according to Gelb. He missed the first month of 2025 because of a back injury.

The supposed conditions from MLB are what’s left the Phillies seething on behalf of both pitchers. Schwarber, now a three-time All-Star, thinks they should be granted All-Star status “if you’re going to ask him that.”

The Brewers, to little surprise, have a slightly different view of the situation.

“I understand why some people feel the way they feel, just because it’s a small sample,” slugger Christian Yelich told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. “But at the end of the day … people want to be entertained. It’s a showcase of some of the best and most exciting players in the game. Miz is definitely that, right?”

A’JA WILSON POSTS DOMINANT DOUBLE-DOUBLE IN ACES WIN OVER VALKYRIES

A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young combined for 64 points as the Las Vegas Aces edged the visiting Golden State Valkyries 104-102 at home Saturday.

Young (30 points, six assists) drained a pair of free throws with 6.1 seconds remaining to give the Aces (10-11) a four-point lead. Overall, Young scored the final 10 points in the last 1:34 for the Aces, with two field goals and six free throws.

Wilson recorded a double-double of 34 points and 16 rebounds in her return after sitting out Thursday’s loss at the Washington Mystics with a wrist injury. This is Wilson’s third 30/10 game of the season and she also surpassed Swin Cash for 25th on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list.

Janelle Salaun and Tiffany Hayes each finished with 16 points in the loss for the Valkyries (10-10). On the play prior to Young’s final free throws, Hayes made a one-legged 3-pointer off an assist from Salaun to trim the deficit to 102-100 with 7.1 to go.

The Aces and Valkyries each tallied season-highs in points during the shootout. The Aces won despite the Valkyries finishing with 12 threes, double the number of 3-pointers Las Vegas made.

A Chelsea Gray steal and coast-to-coast layup gave the Aces an 83-77 lead in the fourth quarter. After the Valkyries amassed nine 3-pointers in the first half, the Aces didn’t allow any in the third quarter.

The third quarter ended with Jewell Loyd hitting a 3-pointer followed by Kaitlyn Chen responding with a driving buzzer-beating layup and free throw to trim Golden State’s deficit to 76-72.

The Aces trailed by only one at halftime despite being cold from beyond the arc, going 2-of-11. However, Wilson kept the Aces afloat with 25 points (10-of-12 overall) along with a 3-pointer, eight rebounds, a steal and a block in the first half.

Hayes went 3-for-3 on three-pointers in the first half to pace the Valkyries.

The Valkyries are tied for the WNBA lead in rebounds but the Aces were +2 in large part because of Wilson’s dominance on the glass. Another key to the victory was the Aces holding the Valkyries to two fastbreak points.

CHALLENGING ROAD STRETCH BITES LYNX AGAINST SKY

The Chicago Sky held off a second half surge by the Minnesota Lynx Saturday afternoon in Chicago, and a 27-point performance by Ariel Atkins led the home squad to an 87-81 victory over the top team in the WNBA standings.

In her second game back from injury, and first back in the starting lineup, Kamilla Cardoso had 17 points and 15 rebounds while fellow big Angel Reese scored 19 points with 11 rebounds for the forward’s eighth double-double in a row.

The victory for Chicago (7-13) is the first win for the Sky over a team with better than a .500 record in the 2025 regular season.

With 42.9 seconds remaining, Rachel Banham put the game out of the reach of the Lynx (18-4). Minnesota focused their defense on Cardoso and Reese, so Banham exploited space inside and hit a running layup that put the Sky ahead by five points.

On the subsequent possession, Minnesota guard Courtney Williams went up for a three on a defensive switch, but the 6-foot-7 Cardoso blocked the 5-foot-8 guard’s attempt and gave possession back to the Sky.

The Sky used their size all game and outrebounded the Lynx 45-28 and scored 16 more points in the paint than the visitors.

Chicago led by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, but Minnesota trimmed it down to a six-point deficit at the end of the quarter and cut it to a single possession When Napheesa Collier nailed a 12-foot jump shot a minute into the fourth.

Collier led the Lynx with 26 points, while Kayla McBride scored 17 and Courtney Williams added 13. They were the only three players on the Lynx roster to hit double-digit scoring with only 11 points coming off the Lynx bench.

Contributing to their trouble, Saturday was the third road game for the Lynx in the span of four days and seventh game overall in 12 days to start July.

The two teams play in Chicago again on Monday night, the third game between the two teams in eight days.

BROWNS RB QUINSHON JUDKINS ARRESTED ON BATTERY/DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGE

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is facing a charge of battery and domestic violence following a Saturday arrest in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

The charge is described as “touch or strike/battery/domestic violence,” per the arrest record, with no bond amount set for the 21-year-old Judkins, who was in jail as of Saturday night and waiting for his initial court appearance Sunday morning.

The Browns are “aware and gathering more details,” according to a team spokesperson.

Cleveland selected Judkins in the second round (36th overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is the only player in the Browns’ seven-man draft class who has not signed his rookie contract.

Judkins had 194 carries for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two TDs in 16 games last season as Ohio State won the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 34-23 in the title game as Judkins rushed 11 times for 100 yards and two TDs and caught a 6-yard TD pass.

In three seasons at Ole Miss (2022-23) and Ohio State, Judkins totaled 739 carries for 3,785 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and 45 TDs, and had 59 receptions for 442 yards and five scores.

The Browns, who also drafted running back Dylan Sampson in the fourth round out of Tennessee, are looking to replace RB Nick Chubb, who signed with the Houston Texans. Other backs on the roster include veterans Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr., as well as rookie Ahmani Marshall.

Cleveland’s rookies report to training camp on Friday.

FIVE-STAR TE RECRUIT KAIDEN PROTHRO STAYS IN-STATE WITH GEORGIA

Georgia and head football coach Kirby Smart added to a vaunted recruiting haul for the Class of 2026 with the verbal commitment on Saturday from five-star tight end Kaiden Prothro.

The rising senior at Bowdon (Ga.) High School decided to stay in-state after making official visits to the Athens campus and his other finalists Florida and Texas as well as to Alabama and Auburn.

Listed at 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, Prothro is ranked the No. 25 player in the country, the No. 3 tight end and the No. 3 player in Georgia, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

As a junior, Prothro primarily played wide receiver and caught 56 passes for 1,203 yards (21.5 yards per catch) and 22 touchdowns as Bowdon won its third consecutive state championship in Class A Division II.

He also played safety and is a standout baseball and basketball player.

Prothro said he was impressed with UGA assistant head coach/tight ends coach Todd Hartley and the players he has met.

“It was really just Coach Hartley breaking down the film and making me feel at home,” Prothro told DawgNation following his commitment ceremony. “As well as spending time with a bunch of the players and being around some of the tight ends in the room.”

Georgia has the No. 2 recruiting class for 2026, per 247Sports, with 29 commitments, including two five-star, 20 four-star and seven three-star recruits. UGA got its quarterback of the future in five-star Jared Curtis of Nashville Christian School. He is the No. 4 player, No. 1 QB and No. 1 player in Tennessee, per the 247Sports composite.

IGA SWIATEK’S 6-0, 6-0 WIN OVER AMANDA ANISIMOVA DELIVERS HER HER FIRST WIMBLEDON TITLE, 6TH MAJOR

LONDON (AP) — For years, Iga Swiatek never quite felt comfortable on Wimbledon’s grass courts, never thought she could add a trophy there to her other Grand Slam triumphs. Oh, did that turn out to be wrong. And how.

Not only is Swiatek now the champion of the All England Club, she did it with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova on Saturday in the first women’s final at the tournament in 114 years in which one player failed to claim a single game.

“It seems,” said Swiatek, a 24-year-old from Poland who is now 6-0 in major title matches, “super surreal.”

That’s also a good way to describe the way things unfolded at a sunny, breezy Centre Court against the 13th-seeded Anisimova, a 23-year-old American in her first Slam final.

“I was a bit frozen there, with my nerves. Maybe the last two weeks I got a bit tired or something,” said Anisimova, who skipped practice on Friday because of fatigue and felt pain in her right shoulder while warming up before the match.

“It was a bit tough to digest, obviously, especially during and right after,” Anisimova said. “I was a little bit in shock.”

With Kate, the Princess of Wales, sitting in the Royal Box and on hand to present the trophies, the whole thing took just 57 minutes. The previous 6-0, 6-0 Wimbledon women’s final was all the way back in 1911.

“Honestly, I didn’t even dream (of this), because for me, it was just, like, way too far, you know?” Swiatek said.

Maybe, Swiatek said, the lower expectations she and plenty of other people held for her at Wimbledon helped. For once, she wasn’t the top seed. Her name was not listed by many among the title contenders.

“I could really focus on getting better and developing as a player,” Swiatek said, “rather than everybody just asking me to win, win, and nothing is good besides winning.”

She won 55 of Saturday’s 79 points despite needing to produce merely 10 winners. Anisimova was shaky from the start, put only 33% of her first serves in during the first set and finished with 28 unforced errors.

Certainly the pressure she was under from Swiatek’s near-perfect play was a factor. Swiatek delivered serves at up to 121 mph, got 78% of her first serves in, and used deep groundstrokes to grab 16 of the 20 points that lasted five shots or more.

“She definitely made it difficult for me,” Anisimova said.

Swiatek already owned four titles from the French Open’s red clay and one from the U.S. Open’s hard courts, but this is first one of her professional career at any grass-court tournament. And it ended a long-for-her drought: Swiatek last won a trophy at Roland-Garros in June 2024.

She is the eighth consecutive first-time women’s champion at Wimbledon, but this stands out because of just how stunningly dominant it was.

Anisimova won her first-round match less than two weeks ago by a 6-0, 6-0 score and eliminated No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, but she never looked like the same player this time. Not at all.

When it was over, Anisimova sat on the sideline crying, while Swiatek climbed into the stands to celebrate with her team — and actress Courteney Cox, of “Friends” fame.

Swiatek was the Wimbledon junior champion as a teen in 2018 but never had been past the quarterfinals on the All England Club’s grass as a pro. Her only other final on the slick surface came when she was the runner-up at a tuneup event in Germany right before Wimbledon began.

Swiatek spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 at No. 1 in the WTA rankings but was seeded No. 8 at Wimbledon. She served a one-month doping ban last year after failing an out-of-competition drug test; an investigation determined she was inadvertently exposed to a contaminated medical product used for trouble sleeping and jet lag.

Anisimova was a semifinalist at age 17 at the 2019 French Open; her father died shortly after. On Saturday, Anisimova’s mother arrived in England for a rare chance to be at one of her daughter’s matches.

“My mom is the most selfless person I know, and she’s done everything to get me to this point in my life,” Anisimova said through tears, then spoke to her mother directly, saying: “Thank you for being here and breaking the superstition of flying in.”

And then, with a chuckle, Anisimova added: “It’s definitely not why I lost today.”

She took time away from the tour a little more than two years ago because of burnout. A year ago, she tried to qualify for Wimbledon, because her ranking of 189th was too low to get into the field automatically, but lost in the preliminary event.

On Monday, she’ll be ranked in the top 10.

“I wish,” Anisimova told the crowd, “that I could put on a better performance for all of you.”

SHANE VAN GISBERGEN COMPLETES SECOND STRAIGHT NASCAR POLE SWEEP

SONOMA, Calif.- For the second straight weekend, Shane van Gisbergen dominated NASCAR time trials – and predictably so.

On his second lap Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, the New Zealander became the only driver to top 96 mph on the 1.99-mile, 12-turn road course.

Touring the circuit in 74.594 seconds (96.040 mph), van Gisbergen secured the pole position for Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR Cup Series race (3:30 p.m. ET on TNT, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Van Gisbergen beat second-place qualifier Chase Briscoe (95.719 mph) by 0.25 seconds to claim his first Busch Light Pole Award at Sonoma, his third of the season and the fourth of his career.

His pole-winning run followed Friday’s top qualifying effort for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Sonoma. Last weekend on the Chicago Street Course, van Gisbergen swept the poles and races in both series.

Qualifying in Group B, SVG picked up speed substantially from his first lap to his second, from 74.833 seconds to 74.594.

“I thought it could be faster,” said van Gisbergen, who won last season’s Xfinity race at Sonoma but will be making his first start here in a Cup car. “And then in the first group, we saw big gains from people in their second runs. I think the 24 (third-place qualifier William Byron) made a huge jump, which is pretty abnormal, I think, on these tires, especially this new soft tire.

“My first lap was just a banker almost. The second lap was really good.”

Byron navigated the course at 95.488 mph to claim the third spot on the grid. Ross Chastain was fourth at 95.409 mph, followed by AJ Allmendinger (95.367 mph) and Ty Gibbs (95.357 mph).

Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, Alex Bowman and Christopher Bell claimed the sixth through 10th starting spots, respectively.

Drivers facing off in the third round of the In-Season Challenge qualified as follows: Gibbs, sixth vs. Zane Smith, 12th; Bowman, ninth vs. Ty Dillon, 26th; John Hunter Nemechek, 18th vs. LEGACY Motor Club teammate Erik Jones, 31st; and Reddick, eighth vs. Ryan Preece, 20th.

Preece, two points below the current elimination line for a berth in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, may be more concerned with the position of 30th-place starter Bubba Wallace, who is two points above the cut line with seven races left in the regular season.

Katherine Legge, who finished 19th last Sunday on the Chicago Street Course, did not make a qualifying attempt and will start 37th.

INDYCAR NEWS

PATO O’WARD HOLDS OFF JOSEF NEWGARDEN TO WIN AT IOWA

Pato O’Ward found his way into the winners’ circle for the first time this season while driving in his 100th career IndyCar race, winning the first of two weekend races at Iowa Speedway on Saturday in Newton, Iowa.

Race 2 will take place on Sunday.

O’Ward held off polesitter Josef Newgarden over a 17-lap restart following a red flag because of damage to the safety barrier on an outside wall.

Will Power was third, followed by Scott McLaughlin, while series leader Alex Palou was fifth. McLaughlin started in the back of the 27-car field.

With 462 points through 11 of 17 races this season, Palou has a 106-point lead on O’Ward, while Kyle Kirkwood is third overall, trailing Palou by 140 points.

O’Ward gave Chevrolet its first victory of the season and again found success at Iowa after winning his first race there in his 50th career start.

Newgarden was denied his first victory of the season despite leading 232 of the 275 laps.

Palou won five of the first six races of the season but has won just once in the past five races. Scott Dixon picked up his first win of the season in the most recent race on July 6 at Mid-Ohio.

TALOR GOOCH UP BY 4 ENTERING FINAL ROUND AT LIV GOLF ANDALUCIA

Talor Gooch wrapped up a long day on the course at LIV Golf Andalucia by shooting a 5-under par 66 on Saturday to take a 4-shot lead heading into the final round at Sotogrande, Spain.

Gooch was through 10 holes at 1-under when play was suspended Friday due to high winds. The field got off to an early start Saturday to conclude the first round, with Gooch adding a birdie at the par-4 No. 13 to enter the second round in the lead at 2-under.

He is at 7-under 135 after mixing seven birdies and two bogeys in the second round at the Real Club Valderrama. Four shots back is Dustin Johnson, who fired a 7-under 64 to move to 3-under for the tournament.

Johnson, who is winless so far this season on the LIV circuit, was pleased with the round

“Pretty much when you shoot that score around here, everything is working pretty well,” he said. “I drove it well, gave myself a lot of opportunities, and just wedged it really close. I made two really good putts on 7 and 8 for par, but other than that, I had a lot of really good looks at birdie.

“Most of my birdies I made were from really short range. I just hit a lot of quality wedge shots and gave myself a lot of opportunities.”

Five strokes off the lead and in third place is South Africa’s Branden Grace, who shot back-to-back rounds of 70 to move to 2-under.

Tied for fourth are Jinichiro Kozuma of Japan (68), Jon Rahm (70) and Patrick Reed (71) at 1-under par 141.

Gooch is looking to repeat his win at Andalucia in 2023.

“It prepares you for these moments when they come up again,” Gooch said of his experience at the event. “Having done it here at this course already, it’s beneficial. It’s going to help me be a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more confident tomorrow. Hopefully we can go get it done again tomorrow.”

Last year, Spain’s Sergio Garcia came from seven strokes back to win LIV Golf Andalucia in a playoff. Another Spaniard, Rahm, is hoping to repeat the feat in front of a supportive home crowd.

“It means the world. It also feels a little heavier on you when you make mistakes or don’t take advantage of the ones that could have been,” Rahm said of the backing from the fans. “I’m not only upset for myself but I’m a little bit upset for them as well that I’m not going to have a better chance tomorrow.

“But I always like to think that things tend to even out throughout the week, and I’m hoping that those that I haven’t made today go in tomorrow.”

On the team front, Johnson’s strong round propelled his 4Aces into the lead. They stand at 2-over, with Gooch’s Smash GC — captained by Brooks Koepka — at 3-over.

WEATHER PLAYS HAVOC BEFORE DARKNESS SUSPENDS ISCO CHAMPIONSHIP IN 3RD ROUND

After multiple weather-related suspensions on Saturday afternoon, including because of lightning in the area, the third round of the ISCO Championship was halted due to darkness at 9 p.m. ET and is scheduled to continue at 8 a.m. Sunday.

Chan Kim began the day with a five-stroke lead at 11-under par at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Ky. He was 2 over through 12 holes to stand at 9 under for the tournament. Kim is one stroke behind Paul Peterson, who is 10 under through 15 holes to move four spots up the leaderboard at the PGA Tour alternate event. Twelve players were still on the course trying to complete the third round.

Peterson carded seven birdies at Nos. 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 14 to counter bogeys at the par-4 No. 4 and par-3 No. 6. He sank a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 5 between those bogeys.

Kim — a journeyman who has won 10 titles between the Japan Golf Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour — is seeking his first PGA Tour triumph. He shot 61 for the first round and 68 in the second.

The leaders had yet to tee off when action was suspended due to lightning in the area at 1:24 p.m. and resumed at 3 p.m. When Kim did get going, he made pars except for a bogey on No. 6 for 1 over on the front nine.

His lone birdie of the limited play came on a 14-inch putt on No. 10, but that was followed by bogeys at the par-4 Nos. 11 and 12 before play was halted.

Play again was suspended due to lightning in the area at 5:10 p.m., and restarted at 7:05 p.m.

Two players are tied for third place at 7 under when darkness fell, Luke List and England’s David Skinns.

List completed his round with a bogey-free 5-under 65. He birdied Nos. 2, 7, 8, 10 and 14, including a 26-footer at No. 7.

“Yeah, it’s nice to not have to come back in the morning, and I’ll get a fresh start whenever we do tee off tomorrow,” List said, adding that he didn’t know if that gives him an advantage for the final round. “It’s pretty perfect conditions right now, so some guys, the leaders get to play in a little nicer conditions for longer holes. But it’s late, it’s a long day for everybody and they’ll have an early morning. So I don’t know what the weather’s going to bring tomorrow, but I’m happy with the way I finished.”

Skinns had an up-and-down 15 holes, with birdies at Nos. 2, 7, 9 and 15, and bogeys at Nos. 4, 6 and 11.

STEVE ALLAN LEADS DICK’S OPEN, SEEKING SECOND CHAMPIONS WIN

Steve Allan of Australia shot a 3-under 69 on Saturday and holds a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Dick’s Open at Endicott, N.Y.

Allen is at 12-under 132 after two trips around En-Joie Golf Club. Boo Weekley is one shot back after a sizzling 64 on Saturday, while Jason Caron is two behind after carding a 68.

Kevin Sutherland (66 on Saturday), Paul Goydos (68) and Australia’s Greg Chalmers (66) are tied for fourth at 135.

The 51-year-old Allan is looking for his second Champions title. His first was at the Galleri Classic earlier this year.

Allan made four birdies to go with a bogey on 17 during Saturday’s round. He closed with a birdie to hold the one-shot edge.

Allan was red-hot in the first round with a 63. He has the opportunity to be a wire-to-wire winner.

“Yeah, it’s always nice to have a chance. It doesn’t happen that often, for me anyway,” Allan said. “I didn’t play my best today. I’m going to have to play a lot better than that tomorrow to win. I was in the rough way too often and sort of scrambling.”

“Hung in there really well,” he continued. “Almost got away with no bogeys, made one on 17, but bounced back on the last.”

Weekley carded eight birdies during his stellar bogey-free round. He made three straight birdies early in his round (Nos. 3-5) and twice made two straight on the back nine.

“It’s good to be back in contention,” Weekley said. “I mean, been playing pretty solid this week and making some putts, which is fun to see go in.”

Caron knocked down six birdies and also had two bogeys, both coming on par-4s on the back nine. But he recovered to make birdies on 16 and 17.

“I’m just going to do what I’ve been doing, which is just trying to control what I can do and not what everyone else does, (and) have fun,” Caron said. “I’ve got my family out here, so it’s always nice to see them on the sidelines, and they’re always cheering regardless if it’s a birdie or a triple bogey.”

Billy Mayfair shot 64 and is part of a seven-way tie for seventh. Also, part of the logjam at 8 under are Notah Begay III (66), Harrison Frazar (67), Jeff Maggert (67), Jeff Sluman (68), Paul Stankowski (68) and Gene Sauers (68).

RORY MCILROY PULLS INTO TIE FOR LEAD AT SCOTTISH OPEN

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy shot 4-under-par 66 in the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open, pulling into a share of the lead Saturday at North Berwick, Scotland.

McIlroy, bidding to win the tournament for the second time in three years, is tied atop the leaderboard with second-round leader Chris Gotterup at Renaissance Club. Gotterup had a 21-foot putt on the final hole with a chance to become the solo leader, but it was barely off the mark, so he settled for a third-round 70.

The duo goes into Sunday’s final round, which marks the last tune-up prior to next week’s Open Championship, with a two-stroke lead at 11 under 199.

Wyndham Clark made an early charge and posted 66, pulling to 9 under with Jake Knapp (68) and the English duo of Marco Penge (69) and Matt Fitzpatrick (69).

McIlroy, who won the 2023 tournament at 15 under, played the last four holes in a bogey-free 4 under.

Gotterup was coming off Friday’s 61, but he had bogeys on Nos. 2 and 14.

Penge and Fitzpatrick, playing together in the second-to-last pairing, went to the 18th with a chance to pull into a share of the lead and instead they both took bogeys.

Harris English, whose 66 matched McIlroy and Clark for the best score of the third round, is among eight golfers tied for seventh at 7 under.

England’s Harry Hall, who was paired with Gotterup, struggled with a 74 and dropped to 5 under and tied for 20th place.

Defending champion Robert MacIntyre of Scotland made the cut with his 72 on Saturday putting him at 1 over.

TOP INDIANA HEADLINES/PRESS RELEASES

INDIANA PACERS SUMMER LEAGUE

GAME REWIND: PACERS 85, THUNDER 104

Twenty days after the two teams played in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder met yet again.

Shooting 54 percent as a team, the Thunder (2-0) dealt the Pacers (1-1) their first Las Vegas Summer League loss of 2025 on Saturday by beating the Blue & Gold 104-85 at Cox Pavilion.

Harvard product Robert Baker topped the Pacers with 16 points on 5-for-6 shooting, second-year forward Enrique Freeman had 15 points and nine rebounds, rookie Taelon Peter scored a personal best 15 points, and Johnny Furphy had 11 points, six rebounds and four assists for the Blue & Gold.

Chris Youngblood led the Thunder with 21 points, Brooks Barnhizer had 17 points and six steals, Jazian Gortman scored 17 points, and Malevy Leons posted 16 points and 10 rebounds.

The Thunder converted 20 Pacers turnovers into 32 points while also holding Indiana to 40 percent shooting.

“Last game I felt like we started bad and ended up the aggressors at the end,” Pacers Summer League coach Isaac Yacob said. “Today, we started on our toes …. it’s just about how can we sustain it for a full 40 minutes.”

Indiana two-way guard Quenton Jackson, who scored 24 points in the Pacers’ Summer League opener, didn’t play against the Thunder due to left leg soreness.

After starting the game 1-for-12 shooting from the field, the Thunder made 15 of their next 17 attempts to build a 52-38 halftime lead. Barnhizer shot 6-for-6 for 12 points to lead the Thunder in the first half while a trio of Pacers had seven points at the break.

Neither team could get much scoring done in the first quarter, with both teams shooting under 36 percent, but the Pacers led 16-14.

Indiana led 10-2 seven minutes into the game thanks to five points by Freeman and a stifling defense.

The Pacers maintained the lead the rest of the frame, but a 6-0 burst by the Thunder in the final 1:13 of the first quarter made it a one-possession game.

Shaking off the rough start, the Thunder shot 13-for-17 (76.5 percent) in the second quarter to go up by double digits.

Oklahoma City made its first nine shots of the second quarter, including five 3-pointers, to lead 41-26 with 4:33 left in the half.

Indiana finally got going later in the frame, as Phillip Wheeler scored seven points in the final five minutes of the half, and rookie Kam Jones, Furphy and Freeman each added baskets to cut it to 52-38 at the break.

The Thunder continued its hot shooting out of the locker room, starting the third quarter on a 13-4 run to go up 65-42.

Oklahoma City then led by as many as 26 points in the third quarter before taking a 19-point lead into the final frame.

The Pacers never went back in front in the fourth quarter as the Thunder held on for the win.

Saturday marked the first full Summer League game for Furphy — a player to keep an eye on going into the 2025-26 season.. He played 29 minutes against the Thunder after an injury limited him to just one quarter of action in the Pacers’ Summer League opener.

Furphy, coming off a rookie season where he appeared in 50 games for Indiana, could soon become a regular rotational player for the Pacers. The 6-foot-9 sharpshooter said he has put on around 20 pounds in the offseason, and last year’s Finals run provided him with a wealth of experiences with his teammates.

“I’ve just got to keep working,” Furphy said. “I’m pretty excited about where I can get to.”

Indiana is back in Summer League action on Monday when they take on the Chicago Bulls at 6 p.m. ET.

GAME PREVIEW:

The Fever wrap up their longest homestand of the season on Sunday afternoon, hosting the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in a nationally televised contest. Sunday will be Indiana’s final home game ahead of All-Star Weekend, as the Fever travel to Boston to face the Sun and then New York to meet the Liberty next week before Indianapolis hosts WNBA All-Star 2025 next weekend.

The Fever snapped a two-game skid on Friday night with a 99-82 win over Atlanta. Indiana’s offense exploded for 59 points in the second half. All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell scored 25 points in the win and now needs just three 3-pointers to break Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings’ franchise record. All-Star center Aliyah Boston had 19 points and eight rebounds in the win, while Sophie Cunningham recorded a double-double off the bench with 16 points and 10 boards, going 4-for-5 from beyond the arc.

The Wings have dropped a pair of road games this week, falling in Phoenix on Monday and Chicago on Wednesday. Dallas has been significantly shorthanded with four players sidelined with injuries, including three of their top four scorers.

Paige Bueckers, the first overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, is having a strong rookie season. Bueckers was voted an All-Star starter and leads Dallas in scoring at 18.1 points per game while also averaging 4.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Sunday should be the long-awaited first professional matchup between Bueckers and 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark. Clark missed the two teams’ first meeting in Dallas on June 27 with a groin injury, but returned to action this week and has played in Indiana’s last two games. Clark had 12 points and nine assists to help lead the Fever to victory on Friday night.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS

COOK CRANKS TWO HOMERS AS INDY CLINCHES SERIES VICTORY OVER GWINNETT

INDIANAPOLIS – Billy Cook’s two homers accounted for half of the Indianapolis Indians runs as the
Indians pitching staff combined to hold the Gwinnett Stripers hitless for the first 6.1 innings in Friday
night’s 6-1 triumph at Victory Field. The win clinched the series for the Indians, marking their first series
win against Gwinnett since they took two of three at Gwinnett from July 7-9, 2017.

The contest was all Indians from the jump. Ronny Simon reached on a hit by pitch to kick off Indy’s (12-5,
54-37) half of the first inning and Cook clubbed his first homer of the day to give Indy a 2-0 advantage
that would prove to be enough to put away Gwinnett (8-9, 37-55).

Indy added to its advantage in each of the next three frames. Malcom Nuñez and Matt Fraizer each
reached scoring position with no outs in the second. Nuñez came around to score on a fielder’s choice
from Tsung-Che Cheng and Ronny Simon capped the second at a 4-0 lead with a sacrifice fly to plate
Fraizer.

Cook clubbed his second home run of the game in the third frame to extend Indy’s lead. His multi-homer
game was the sixth of his career and his first since July 21, 2024, vs. Nashville while with Norfolk.
Additionally, it is the second multi home run game by an Indian this season, joining Matt Gorski on April
19 vs. Toledo.

Indianapolis managed to scratch across one more run in the fourth inning, thanks to a Ji Hwan Bae
sacrifice fly, but were held scoreless past that point. Eddys Leonard prevented an Indians shutout with a
solo home run in the eighth, but the early offense from Indy was too much for Gwinnett to overcome.

Drake Fellows (W, 6-2) tossed 5.0 hitless and scoreless innings for Indy. It was the first start of 5.0 or
more innings with no hits for an Indians pitcher since Eric Lauer also allowed no hits across 5.0 innings
on April 21, 2024, vs. St. Paul. Randy Labaut kept the no-no alive with a clean sixth inning before Ryder
Ryan allowed the first hit with one out in the seventh. Brett Sears (L, 0-1) took the loss for Gwinnett in his
Triple-A debut, allowing all six of Indy’s runs.

The Indians and Stripers conclude their six-game set at Victory Field on Sunday, with first pitch set for
1:35 PM. RHP Thomas Harrington (6-8, 5.47) will take the mound for the second time in the series
against fellow righty Didier Fuenetes (0-1, 1.93).

INDY ELEVEN

RECAP-IND 1:0 R

Indianapolis – Two of the top scorers in USL Championship history combined for a goal and the Indy Eleven defense recorded its fourth clean sheet in the last six matches as the Boys in Blue defeated Eastern Conference opponent Rhode Island FC, 1-0, at Carroll Stadium.

Indy Eleven moved up to fifth in the USLC Eastern Conference, finishing the first half of the season with four wins in its last six matches.

Cam Lindley started the scoring sequence in the 55th minute with a one-touch pass from midfield to Jack Blake. Blake settled it quickly and delivered a pass wide to captain Aodhan Quinn. From just outside the area on the left side, Quinn centered it to the penalty spot where Romario Williams finished it inside the left post for his fourth goal of the season and the 64th in his USLC career.

Williams is tied for the team lead in goals this season and he moved up into a tie for 13th on the USL All-Time list. Quinn recorded his team-best sixth assist of the campaign and he moved into sole possession of third place all-time in the USLC with 56 career assists.

Goalkeeper Hunter Sulte recorded his second consecutive clean sheet and his fourth this season. It marks the fourth time in his two-year career with the Boys in Blue that he has recorded consecutive shutouts in USLC play. He now has 13 clean sheets in 40 matches for Indy Eleven.

The Boys in Blue travel to Eastern Conference opponent North Carolina FC on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Golazo Network.

The next home game for Indy Eleven is Christmas in July and the final round of USL Jägermeister Cup group play on Saturday, July 26 vs. FC Tulsa at 7 p.m. at Carroll Stadium. The Boys in Blue lead Group 3 with a 2-0-1 record and can clinch a berth in the quarterfinals of the 38-team event with a victory.

Indy Eleven Quotes

Coach Sean McAuley

Q: What was the strategy in tonight’s game?

“We went in at halftime and said we needed to attack a little bit more. I felt that we were the team that was trying to push the game to get the first goal.”

Q: How did the team get the clean sheet?

“We’ve worked on that in terms of communication with the players—concentrate, making sure they do their jobs. I thought everybody from back to front was in that last moment.”

Q: How did your team handle their physicality?
“They’ve got power and presence, so we had to get closer to the ball to stop it at its source. We tried to get as much pressure on the ball as we can to make sure that it is not as accurate.”

Romario Williams

Q: How satisfying was the win, especially after last year’s playoff loss to them?

“Very satisfying. The intention is to come into every game and get a win. It was very important for us to not only get the three points but also send a message.”

Q: What did it mean to score in front of your kids tonight?

“I’ve been blessed; I’ve been privileged. I’ve been fortunate to play this game that I love at a high level. Being able to do it for my family, but more so in front of my kids, makes it extra special. I see the smile and the joy that it brings to them, and I want to keep putting that smile on their faces.”

Q: How challenging was it playing against such physical opponents?

“It was a challenge, for sure. With our experience and our ability we tried to get them off balance a little bit, making it difficult and hard for them.”

Q: How has your mentality been regarding playing time?

“It’s been a strange season for me, missing the first couple games with injury, with surgery, and then being out for four weeks with the (Jamaican) National Team. I just look forward to getting sharper, fit, more match minutes under my belt.”
