+++TOP NATIONAL HEADLINES/NEWS RELEASES+++

TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA WOULD MEET AGAIN IN CFP’S FIRST ROUND ON MOCK BRACKET BASED ON AP TOP 25 POLL

The Red River Rivalry would be played a second time this season with Oklahoma hosting Texas in the first round of the College Football Playoff if the bracket were based on The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday.

The teams earning top-four seeds and receiving first-round byes would remain the same as last week but in a different order. Ohio State would continue to be No. 1, followed by No. 2 Miami, No. 3 Penn State and No. 4 LSU.

No. 7 Oklahoma, which plays No. 10 Texas in Dallas on Oct. 11, is on the AP Top 25-based bracket for the first time this season. So is No. 12 Texas Tech, which moved past No. 14 Iowa State in Sunday’s poll and replaced the Cyclones as the Big 12’s highest-ranked team.

The addition of the Sooners would give the Southeastern Conference five teams in the 12-team CFP. The Big Ten would have three teams in the field, the Atlantic Coast Conference two and the Big 12 and American one each. South Florida would be in as the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion based on having the most points of any unranked G5 team.

Based on the AP Top 25, the CFP would open like this:

— No. 9 seed Texas A&M at No. 8 Florida State. Winner vs. No. 1 Ohio State.

— No. 12 seed South Florida at No. 5 seed Georgia. Winner vs. No. 4 LSU.

— No. 10 seed Texas at No. 7 seed Oklahoma. Winner vs. No. 2 Miami.

— No. 11 seed Texas Tech at No. 6 Oregon. Winner vs. No. 3 Penn State.

The first three teams outside the bracket: Indiana, Mississippi, Iowa State.

The Hoosiers are ranked No. 11 by the AP but would get bumped by automatically qualifying conference champions, in this case Texas Tech of the Big 12 and South Florida of the American.

The five highest-ranked conference champions automatically qualify for the CFP, but no longer do the four highest-ranked champions receive a first-round bye. The 12-team bracket is now seeded directly based on the CFP’s final rankings in early December.

The top four seeds will be assigned to quarterfinals in ranking order and in consideration of current bowl relationships. This year, quarterfinal winners advance to the semifinals at the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl. The No. 1 seed would receive preferential placement based on geography.

Teams ranked Nos. 5-12 by the CFP will play in the first round, with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded school. First-round games are Dec. 19 and 20, quarterfinals Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, semifinals Jan. 8 and 9 and the championship game is Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

The AP will publish brackets based on the weekly Top 25 until the CFP selection committee unveils its initial rankings Nov. 4.

MARQUEE PERFORMANCES HIGHLIGHT BIG 12 FOOTBALL WEEKLY AWARDS

Offensive Player of the Week: Will Hammond, QB, Texas Tech and Eric McAlister, WR, TCU

Defensive Player of the Week: Jamel Johnson, DB, TCU and Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

Special Teams Player of the Week: Jesus Gomez, K, Arizona State and Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Returner, Kansas

Freshman of the Week: Will Hammond, QB, Texas Tech

Offensive Line of the Week: UCF

Defensive Line of the Week: Texas Tech

IRVING, Texas – Arizona State, UCF, Kansas, TCU and Texas Tech headlined the Big 12 weekly awards following their performances in Week Four of the season. Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond and TCU wideout Eric McAlister (offensive) were recognized, while the two schools also had Jamel Johnson and Jacob Rodriguez (defensive) earn honors. Arizona State kicker Jesus Gomez and KU returner Emmanuel Henderson Jr. (special teams) were joined by TTU’s Hammond (freshman) to round out the individual awards. UCF had the Offensive Line of the Week, while Texas Tech won the Conference’s Defensive Line of the Week honor.

Hammond entered in the second half of the Red Raiders’ win at then-No. 16 Utah and propelled the Tech offense with 13-of-16 passing for 169 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 61 yards. The redshirt freshman took the Red Raiders down the field for a field goal on his first drive before guiding his team to touchdowns on three other drives. His appearance in Salt Lake City was just the third of his career, following a second-half appearance versus TCU and a start in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl last season.

With a historic performance in the Horned Frogs’ 35-24 win over rival SMU, McAlister caught eight passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns. His 254 receiving yards were the most by a FBS player this season and made him the seventh Big 12 player ever to have at least 250 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in a game. McAlister’s receiving yardage was also the second most in program history.
 
Johnson had a pair of interceptions in the final five minutes of the game to seal the Horned Frogs’ win over SMU. The junior is the first TCU defender with multiple interceptions in a game since C.J. Ceasar II picked off Louisiana Tech twice in 2020. He also tallied six tackles in the victory and became the third Big 12 player with two interceptions in a game this season.
 
Filling up the stat sheet in his team’s 34-10 win at then-No. 16 Utah, Rodriguez ended his day with 11 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception. The Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year helped a Texas Tech defense force two fumbles, a pair of interceptions and held the Utes to just 10 points. Saturday marked his ninth career game of double-digit tackles as Rodriguez also picked up his eighth career forced fumble, which ranks third nationally among active players.
 
Gomez drilled a 43-yard field goal as time expired to give Arizona State a 27-24 win at Baylor. The game-winner was the first walk-off field goal on the road by an Arizona State kicker in over 60 years. Gomez’s four field goals were a career high and the most by a Sun Devil since Carter Brown had four against NAU on Sept. 1, 2022. He also became one of only four kickers in the nation with four field goals in a game this season.
 
By returning KU’s first kickoff for a touchdown since 2020, Henderson Jr. made the most of his pair of returns. He housed the 94-yarder to the endzone before returning a second kick for 43 yards in the Jayhawks’ 41-10 win over West Virginia. The wideout also had six catches for 38 yards in the victory.

The UCF offensive line’s play was a story of resilience in tribute to offensive line coach Shawn Clark. The unit responded by allowing zero sacks in the Knights’ 34-9 win over North Carolina. UCF controlled the game with three drives of 13 plays or more, including a final march of 18 plays for 93 yards and a touchdown that took over 10 minutes off the clock.

Texas Tech’s defensive line played a pivotal role in their 34-10 win over then-No. 16 Utah as the Red Raiders’ defense held the Utes to 35 points below their season average. Utah finished the day with only 263 yards of offense with two fumbles and a pair of interceptions. Tech was especially stout against the run, holding Utah to 189 rushing yards below their average coming into the game.

Montgomery broke loose for a 72-yard gain to the Ravens 13-yard line. The touchdown came on the first play of the fourth quarter as Goff handed the ball off to St. Brown, who pitched it to Gibbs and the latter easily scored on a 4-yard run.

The Ravens moved within 28-24 on Tyler Loop’s 41-yard field goal with 9:40 remaining.

Baltimore later had the ball at its own 21, but Henry fumbled on the first play. Hutchinson punched it out of Henry’s grasp, and D.J. Reed recovered as the Lions took over at the Baltimore 16.

The drive stalled and Jake Bates kicked a 45-yard field goal to give Detroit a 31-24 lead with 6:35 left.

The Lions faced a fourth-and-2 just after the two-minute warning, and Goff completed a 20-yard pass to Brown to the Baltimore 31. On the next play, Montgomery headed right and scored on a 31-yard run to make it 38-24 with 1:42 to play.

Jackson hit Andrews on a 27-yard scoring pass with 29 seconds left, but the Ravens couldn’t recover the ensuing onside kick.

BACKUP QUARTERBACKS CARSON WENTZ, MARCUS MARIOTA AND MAC JONES HAD SUCCESS IN WEEK 3

Backup quarterbacks had a big day.

Carson Wentz and Marcus Mariota were sharp Sunday in leading their teams to lopsided wins as fill-in starters. Mac Jones overcame a costly turnover and engineered a game-winning final drive.

Wentz was 14 of 20 for 173 yards and two touchdowns in Minnesota’s 48-10 rout of Cincinnati. He looked comfortable in Kevin O’Connell’s offense, avoided mistakes, withstood pressure and played more like the guy who finished third in the NFL MVP voting in 2017 than a journeyman making a start with his sixth team in six seasons.

With J.J. McCarthy sidelined by an ankle injury, Wentz had an opportunity to live out a childhood dream of playing for his favorite team. He made the most of it, posting a 129.8 passer rating — the second-highest of his career.

Wentz connected with Justin Jefferson five times for 75 yards and tossed TD passes of 12 yards to Josh Oliver and 5 yards to T.J. Hockenson. He didn’t try to play hero ball, which has plagued him at times during his career.

“I don’t want to be the one making plays. I just want to get it to those playmakers,” Wentz said. “That’s always been my philosophy. We’ve got some good ones here, and that’s been fun, seeing them work and practice.

“It’s only been a (few) weeks, obviously, but seeing it live in a game like today. … It’s fun for me to see that because my job is just 1-2-3, throw it and let them do the hard work. It’s fun to see that and see those guys come to life like that.”

The Vikings (2-1) are playing their next two games abroad, facing Pittsburgh in the first regular-season NFL game in Dublin next Sunday and Cleveland in London on Oct. 5.

If McCarthy isn’t ready to go, Wentz will get another chance to prove himself. O’Connell helped Sam Darnold revive his career last year and he could do the same for Wentz.

Mariota’s day

Mariota stepped in for Jayden Daniels, who has a knee injury. He was 15 of 21 for 207 yards and one TD, and also ran for 40 yards and a score in Washington’s 41-24 win against Las Vegas.

Mariota hadn’t started a game since Dec. 4, 2022, with Atlanta but he spent last season with the Commanders. His familiarity with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s system was evident. Mariota was efficient, aggressive and in command, helping the offense rack up 400 yards. His only mistake was a fumble early in the game, not counting giving coach Dan Quinn a bloody nose during a sideline collision.

“He felt very much in control of it,” Quinn said. “He’s just so steady. I was super proud of him.”

Mariota’s numbers could’ve looked better if not for a touchdown pass that was dropped and another pass that resulted in a tackle at the 1.

“I love this system,” Mariota said. “I really feel like I have a great connection with Kliff, (quarterbacks coach) Tavita (Pritchard), and the rest of the offensive staff. When we come down and we have these moments through the week, we’re all just communicating what we like and what we don’t like. We understand that there’s gonna be moments where it’s not gonna work out the way that we anticipated, but we never blink. It’s such a great, healthy environment for all parties involved. I’ve just really enjoyed my time here. Every opportunity I get, I just try to make the most of it.”

Jones comes up big

Jones made his second straight start for San Francisco because Brock Purdy is dealing with a toe injury. He completed 27 of 41 passes for 284 yards with one TD and one interception in a 16-15 win over Arizona.

Jones threw a pick with the score tied in the fourth quarter and the 49ers near field-goal range. A holding penalty in the end zone on San Francisco’s next possession resulted in a safety that gave Arizona a lead.

But Jones, playing on an injured knee, calmly drove the 49ers 63 yards on 10 plays to set up Eddy Pineiro’s game-winning 35-yard field goal.

“I thought he did some really good things,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I know there’s a couple that he’d love to take back, have back. I thought his pick was just a bad play. Love for Ricky (Pearsall) to be able to break that up, but I thought it was a bad call. The way he came back on the end on that last drive, he was unbelievable. Even scrambling around when his knee was bothering him. But, he was real good today.”

Jones was supposed to be the long-term successor to Tom Brady after New England drafted him 15th overall in 2021 and he led the Patriots to 10 wins and the playoffs as a rookie. But things didn’t work out and he’s on his third team after spending last year in Jacksonville.

“I really was just motivated to change the narrative,” Jones said. “This team, I feel like they have my back and I got to be able to do that when I’m stepping in the game. … don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just go out there and let it fly.”

Other QBs

Another backup, Tyrod Taylor, had mixed results. Taylor threw a pick-6 but also completed 72.6% of his passes for 197 yards, two TDs and the New York Jets nearly upset Tampa Bay after a blocked field goal returned for a score gave them a lead late. But Baker Mayfield rallied the Buccaneers to a third straight comeback win.

A second-chance quarterback is off to an impressive start this season. Daniel Jones isn’t a backup; he’s the starter in Indianapolis after being jettisoned by the Giants. Jones has the Colts (3-0) off to their best start since 2009 and he’s the first player in NFL history with at least three TDs passing, three TDs rushing and no turnovers in the first three games.

Several quarterbacks, including Mayfield, Darnold, Jared Goff and Geno Smith, have found success with new teams in recent years. Jones is doing it now in Indianapolis.

Who will be next?

CEEDEE LAMB HAS HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN THAT COULD SIDELINE STAR COWBOYS RECEIVER MULTIPLE GAMES

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys say CeeDee Lamb sustained a high ankle sprain in a 31-14 loss to Chicago, an injury that figures to sideline the star receiver at least one game and possibly more.

Club executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones revealed the extent of the injury on his radio show Monday, and indicated it would be difficult for Lamb to play Sunday when Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers visit.

“Certainly, he’s got a high ankle sprain and every one of those are different,” Jones said. “We’d love to have him back for Green Bay, but at the same time we’ve also got to understand the injury is what it is and we’ll play it out.”

Lamb was injured the first time he touched the ball against the Bears. He lined up at running back and took a handoff running right when his feet got crossed up and his left leg buckled under the leg of linebacker Noah Sewell, who dropped Lamb for a 1-yard loss.

The 2023 All-Pro limped to the sideline, got the ankle taped and tried to come back in the second quarter. Lamb lasted just one play, going in motion before pulling up lame in the middle of a route. He signaled to the sideline as if to say he couldn’t play any longer.

The injury ended Lamb’s four-game streak of 100-yard showings going back to last season. It was the longest active streak in the NFL and tied the longest of his career.

The Cowboys kept pace offensively in the first half but faded after the break, going scoreless. Tight end Jake Ferguson had a career-high 13 catches for 82 yards.

George Pickens, who will take over the No. 1 receiver role while Lamb is out, had five catches for 68 yards and a touchdown, but one of Dak Prescott’s passes bounced off his hands for a Chicago interception.

“When you’ve got the plays that we’ve got, we’re wondering anyways how teams are going to play us, so then when you lose a guy like that, maybe it made their game plan a lot easier from their standpoint to double George, cloud George is what they did early,” Prescott said. “It’s tough to win a game when you lose a player like CeeDee.”

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers a week before the season after a lengthy and acrimonious contract stalemate with the star pass rusher. The trade was contingent upon Parsons signing a $188 million, four-year contract that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback with an annual average of $47 million.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

WHAT TO WATCH DURING THE FINAL WEEK OF MLB’S REGULAR SEASON

Right around Labor Day, it looked like Major League Baseball’s playoff race would be a big snooze fest.

September had other ideas.

The standings in both the American League and National League have tightened in a hurry, and a lot of the action over the final week of the season will take place in Ohio.

Here’s a look at some things to watch as MLB’s regular season comes to an end and October baseball arrives:

What are the biggest storylines?

1. The National League wild card race was a dead heat as of Monday morning with the New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds tied for the final playoff spot at 80-76. The Reds own the tiebreaker if the two teams end the 162-game season with the same record. The Arizona Diamondbacks are also in the mix, one game behind both teams. The Mets looked well-positioned for a playoff spot on Sept. 1 but have a 7-12 record this month, which allowed the Reds and D-backs to climb into the race.

2. The American League also has plenty of drama, with four teams — including the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians and Houston Astros — fighting for the final three playoff spots. The Guardians have a stunning 15-2 record since Sept. 5, climbing to one game behind the struggling Tigers in the AL Central.

3. Seattle’s Cal Raleigh hit his 58th homer of the season on Sunday, extending his record for homers in a season by a player who plays primarily catcher. He has six games remaining to try and get to 60. Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber and LA’s Shohei Ohtani both have 53 homers, while Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has 49.

What is the MLB playoff format?

There are 12 teams that qualify for MLB’s postseason, including six teams from both the AL and NL. The three division winners in each league get seeds No. 1 through No. 3, ranked by win-loss record. Then the three wild-card teams get seeds No. 4 through No. 6, also ranked by win-loss record.

The top two teams with the best record in both the AL and NL automatically advance to the Division Series. The other eight teams play in the Wild Card Series, which is a best-of-three format beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 30. In both the AL and NL, the No. 6 seed will travel to face the No. 3 seed while the No. 5 seed goes to No. 4. The higher seed hosts all three games.

The winners then advance to the best-of-five Division Series, followed by the best-of-seven League Championship Series and a best-of-seven World Series between the winners of the AL and NL.

What is the MLB postseason schedule?

Wild Card Round: Sept. 30-Oct. 2 (ESPN)

Division Series: Oct. 4-11 (NL on TBS, AL on FOX/FS1)

Championship Series: Oct. 12-21 (NL on TBS, AL on FOX/FS1)

World Series: Oct. 24-Nov. 1 (FOX)

Who has already a clinched a spot?

In the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs have already qualified for the postseason. The San Diego Padres are very close to grabbing the fifth spot.

In the American League, only the Toronto Blue Jays know they will play October baseball. The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners are in excellent position to clinch a spot in the next few days.

Who are the favorites to win the World Series?

The Phillies (+425) are the favorite to win the World Series, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. After that, it’s the Dodgers (+500), Mariners (+600), Brewers (+725), Blue Jays (+800) and Yankees (+800).

The Blue Jays opened the season at +6000 odds.

MLB ROUNDUP: PADRES CLINCH PLAYOFF SPOT WITH WALK-OFF WIN IN 11TH

Freddy Fermin’s one-out single in the bottom of the 11th inning Monday night lifted the San Diego Padres to a 5-4 win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, sealing a spot in the National League playoffs.

Bryce Johnson was placed at second to start the inning and Jose Iglesias bunted him to third. Fermin lined the first pitch from Grant Anderson (2-6) into center to start a celebration in the middle of the field.

Rookie Bradgley Rodriguez (1-0) induced a double-play ball from Jackson Chourio to escape a bases-loaded spot in the top of the inning as San Diego clinched a playoff spot for the second straight year. Rodriguez earned his first major league win.

Each team scored in the 10th inning on a fielder’s-choice grounder. The Padres pulled within 2 1/2 games of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West and within 2 1/2 games of the Chicago Cubs for the top NL wild card. The Brewers saw their lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for the majors’ best record slip to 2 1/2 games.

Cardinals 6, Giants 5

Ivan Herrera ignited a four-run fifth inning with a two-run homer, four St. Louis relievers combined for four innings of shutout ball and the visiting Cardinals kept their flickering playoff hopes alive with a victory over San Francisco.

A second straight win by the Cardinals and the eighth loss in 10 games by the Giants left the teams tied in the National League wild-card race. They each trail the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets by 3 1/2 games and the Arizona Diamondbacks by 2 1/2 games for the final NL playoff spot. Michael McGreevy (8-3) finished the fifth to earn the win, charged with all five Giants runs on six hits.

Giants starter Justin Verlander (3-11) served up all six Cardinals runs, only four of which were earned, in 4 1/3 innings. He allowed nine hits and two walks while striking out three.

Braves 11, Nationals 5

Michael Harris II produced three hits and three RBIs on Monday as Atlanta beat visiting Washington to extend its winning streak to nine games.

Harris went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and three stolen bases. Marcell Ozuna contributed three hits, Drake Baldwin added two and Ronald Acuna Jr. homered. Atlanta finished with 14 hits, reaching double figures for the seventh time during the winning streak. Atlanta second baseman Ozzie Albies sustained a fractured hamate bone and will miss the rest of the season. Chris Sale (6-5) got the victory despite allowing five runs — matching his season high — in five innings.

Washington starter MacKenzie Gore (5-15) was removed after two-plus innings, his shortest stint of the year. He allowed four runs on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts.

AP PLAYER OF THE WEEK: INDIANA QB FERNANDO MENDOZA THROWS FOR 5 TDS AGAIN WITH PINPOINT ACCURACY

The Associated Press national player of the week in football for Week 3 of the season:

Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

The California transfer threw five touchdown passes for the second straight week and completed his final 17 throws in a 63-10 beat-down of Illinois.

Mendoza connected on better than 90% of his passes for a second game in a row, going 21 of 23 for 267 yards. He was 19 of 20 against Indiana State in his previous game. His 76.8% accuracy rate through four games is second nationally, and his 14 TD passes lead the country. He has thrown no interceptions.

Mendoza led the Hoosiers to touchdowns on six straight possessions against the Illini before he turned things over to his younger brother, backup Alberto Mendoza, in the fourth quarter.

Runner-up

Evan Johnson, BYU. The cornerback intercepted two straight Katin Houser passes in the first half and returned one for a touchdown in the Cougars’ 34-13 win at East Carolina.

BYU was leading 6-3 when the Pirates drove to the Cougars’ 6 and Johnson stepped in front of a pass at the goal line to end the threat. East Carolina started its next possession at its 1 after a muffed punt, and Johnson picked off Houser’s pass at the 4 on the next play and ran into the end zone to make it 13-3 at half.

Honorable mention

TCU WR Eric McAlister caught eight passes from Josh Hoover for 254 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-24 win over SMU. McAlister’s 70-yard TD in the fourth quarter was the go-ahead score and he finished his day with a 44-yard TD.

+++TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY+++

Sept. 23

1908 — In a crucial game with the Chicago Cubs, Fred Merkle of the New York Giants failed to touch second base as the apparent winning run crossed home plate. This resulted in a great dispute and the game was eventually declared a tie and played over on Oct. 8 when the Cubs and Giants ended the season in a tie.

1939 — Brooklyn’s Cookie Lavagetto went 6-for-6 to lead the Dodgers’ 27-hit attack in a 22-4 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies. Lovagetto had four singles, a double and a triple and scored four runs. He was the only Dodger without an RBI. Dixie Walker, Gene Moore and Johnny Hudson each drive in three runs.

1952 — The Brooklyn Dodgers clinched the NL title, the first time since 1948 that the pennant wasn’t decided in the season’s final game.

1957 — Hank Aaron’s 11th-inning homer gave the Milwaukee Braves a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and the NL pennant. It was the first time since 1950 that a New York team hadn’t finished first.

1979 — Lou Brock stole base No. 938, breaking Billy Hamilton’s record, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Mets 7-4 in 10 innings.

1983 — Steve Carlton of Philadelphia recorded his 300th career victory with a 6-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

1984 — The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 4-1, making Sparky Anderson the first manager to win more than 100 games in each league.

1986 — Rookie left-hander Jim Deshaies set a major league record by striking out eight batters to start the game and finished with a two-hitter and 10 strikeouts to lead the Houston Astros past of the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0.

1987 — Albert Hall of the Atlanta Braves hit for the cycle in 5-4 win over the Houston Astros.

1988 — Jose Canseco became the first major leaguer to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases in one season as the Oakland Athletics beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-8 in 14 innings.

1992 — Bip Roberts tied the NL record with his 10th consecutive hit, then grounded out against Pedro Astacio to end his streak in the Cincinnati Reds’ game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1998 — Houston’s Craig Biggio became the second player this century to have 50 steals and 50 doubles in a season, joining Hall of Famer Tris Speaker.

2001 — Sammy Sosa became the first player to hit three home runs in a game three times in a season, but Moises Alou’s two-run shot rallied Houston to a 7-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

2008 — The New York Yankees’ streak of postseason appearances ended. Boston beat Cleveland 5-4, minutes before the Yankees’ win. The Red Sox victory clinched at least the AL wild card and eliminated New York, which had made 13 straight postseason appearances.

2013 — Alex Rios of Texas hit for the cycle in a 12-0 rout of Houston. Rios finished off the cycle with a triple to right-center field in the sixth inning.

2016 — David Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the first inning to set the RBIs record for a player in his final season, and the AL East-leading Boston beat Tampa Bay 2-1 for its ninth straight victory. Ortiz’s 37th homer came off Chris Archer and raised his RBIs total to 124, one more than Shoeless Joe Jackson in 1920. The 40-year-old’s 540th homer, his 300th on the road, struck an overhanging catwalk above the right-field seats.

2022 — Albert Pujols, who has announced his retirement at the end of the season no matter what happened, becomes the fourth player to reach the 700-home run mark – after Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. He does so by going deep twice, first off Andrew Heaney in the 3rd inning and then off Phil Bickford in the 4th for #700. The Cardinals win handily, 11 – 0, over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Sept. 24

1940 — Jimmie Foxx of the Red Sox hit his 500th career home run off Philadelphia’s George Caster in the first game of a doubleheader at Shibe Park.

2014 — The New York Yankees were eliminated from postseason contention after losing to the AL East champion Orioles 9-5. The Yankees missed the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1992 and ’93.

2016 — Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 3-0 to send New York to its third consecutive shutout defeat — the first time that has happened to New York since 1975.

2022 — The Braves’ Kyle Wright, who had only won two regular season games in four seasons, becomes the first 20-game winner in the majors this year with a 6 – 3 win over Philadelphia. The win moves Atlanta within one and a half games of the Mets, holders of first place in the NL East.

Sept. 25
