There is always baseball happening almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Tampa Bay Rays have won seven games in a row. The New York Yankees have lost seven games in a row. Thats some pretty simple math there, even if you arent into analytics: the Rays now find themselves 3.5 games up in the AL East, ahead of the Yankees. New York isnt in any danger of dropping a postseason spot its 4.5 up in the wild-card race in a league that isnt loaded with competition for competence but the fear that an extended Aaron Judge IL stint would damage the Yankees season feels extremely justified as July gets underway. The Rays faced the Royals on Wednesday in Kansas City, and wasted no time in scoring what would prove to be the game-winning runs: in the top of the first, third baseman Junior Caminero went yard for the sixth-straight game, tying the franchise record. That was his 24th dinger of the year the 22-year-old Caminero is now up to .293/.383/.561 on the season. This was his ninth homer in his last eight games, and per MLBsSarah Langs, its the most home runs by a player 22 years old or younger sinceat least 1900 i.e., as far back as the available data can tell us. Considering home runs used to be much more of a rarity before the live-ball era of the 1920s, well, Caminero might very well be the only 22-year-old to ever pull this kind of stretch off. The Rays ended up winning, 4-0, and reached the 50-win mark because of it: Tampa Bay is the first American League team to manage that feat, whereas three NL squads already have, and two others are a single W away. As you already know from the preceding section, the Yankees did not win. New York nearly avoided a sweep in what was a closely fought game, but almost doesnt count. It was all a lot closer than the 6-2 final against the Tigers suggests, though, so the "almost" is still notable. Detroit was up 2-0 through the top of the ninth, but then the Tigers bullpen blew that lead in the bottom of the frame. Reliever Drew Anderson, in his second inning of work, gave up a solo homer to DH Amed Rosario, and then later threw a wild pitch that allowed second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. to score the tying run. This forced extra innings, but it was not to be. Both teams played a scoreless 10th, but in the top of the 11th, the Tigers unloaded. Camilo Duval entered the game in relief for New York, and retired the first two batters that he faced. Then, he unraveled: left fielder Riley Greene was intentionally walked, which was understandable and normal, but then second baseman Hao-Yu Lee, who entered as a pinch-hitter earlier, also walked to load the bases. Duval thenalso issued a free pass to first baseman Spencer Torkelson, and the bases were still loaded while Detroit had a 3-2 lead. The very next batter, infielder Zach McKinstry, made it a four-run lead with a bases-clearing single. The Yankees failed to respond in the bottom of the 11th, and ended up losing 6-2 instead of 2-0 or 2-1. New York has not only been swept in consecutive series, but with two runs has scored just 37 times in its last 14 games, or 2.6 runs per game. The Marlins were an MLB-best 20-9 in June, but July opened with a loss to the Rockies its still a series W for Miami, though, and in addition this lovely highlight came out of defeat. In the top of the seventh, Joe Mack entered the game as a pinch-hitter, and he smacked an inside-the-park homer to cut Colorados lead to 5-3. Whats incredible is that Mack hit the ball all the way to the wall in right-center well over 400 feet away! and it still didnt leave the park. He put a serious charge into this thing, but ended up where he should have in the first place thanks to the bounce it took off of the tall fence that kept it from going out in the first place. The Pirates bullpen hasnt helped matters, but reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes also hasnt looked right this season. Hes working harder to get through innings, and the defense behind him is only part of the problem: hes averaging 5 innings per start and allowing more homers and hits than usual, resulting in an adjusted ERA of 3.03 thats better than his actual ERA, sure, but is also considerably worse than what hes produced in his previous two seasons. The spin and velocity on his fastball are both down compared to what it usually looks like as said, something isnt quite right! And it could be temporary he labored to start his 2025, too, before turning things around and then some but it was certainly an issue on Wednesday against the Phillies. Skenes allowed eight runs, seven earned, against Philadelphia. Six hits, two homers, two walks and five strikeouts in just four innings, which took 81 pitches to get through. The first homer was a three-run shot by Trea Turner in the second to put the Phillies up 5-0 and the second came courtesy of left fielder Brandon Marsh in the third. Turner got his dinger off an 85-mph sweeper inside that moved across the zone horizontally, but floated into danger instead of away from it. Marsh went yard on an 85-mph slider that caught far too much of the middle of the strike zone that, too, just kind of slowly looped and hung up there instead of having any kind of sharper movement to miss a bat or fool the batter. The Phillies would end up winning, 10-6, as once again a Pirates team with an improved offense was failed by its pitching. Pittsburgh is back under .500, at 43-44, while the Phillies are 2.5 back of the Braves in the NL East and three games up in the wild-card race. Wednesday marked Canada Day in wait for it Canada, and the Mets were there to help the Blue Jays and their fans celebrate. New York were even courteous guests, allowing the Jays to walk all over it on their special day. Starter Freddy Peralta lasted just four innings while allowing five runs on seven hits, three walks and a homer. That dinger came off the bat of rookie Sean Keys the first of the DHs big-league career. Reliever Cionel Prez wouldnt do much better in his 1 innings, allowing five hits, a homer and four runs. That long ball was thanks to pinch-hitter Myles Straw, which the Blue Jays X account decided to use for Canada-related wordplay purposes. Listen, much like a hitter with a killer bat flip after a monster home run, they earned the right. Toronto has been scuffling lately this win made it just 3-7 over the last 10 games but at least the Jays are three back of a wild-card spot in the AL. The Mets are now 36-51, one of just six teams remaining in MLB with fewer than 40 victories, and 10 out of the closest postseason spot. Things will not get easier for New York with the NL East-leading Braves next up on the schedule, either. On Tuesday, Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson swatted two homers against the Padres in what ended up being a 9-7 win over San Diego. On Wednesday, both Swanson and Chicago leveled up. The Cubs would win by the eye-popping score of23-3, while Swanson did his part making that 20-run lead happen by going 4-for-5 withthree dingers and eight RBIs. The first homer came in the bottom of the second off of starter Walker Buehler, a solo shot on a slider that caught too much of the middle of the zone. The second long ball was struck in the very next inning, when Swanson crushed an 89.4-mph slider on the inner third of the plate 434 feet to center that was a three-run homer, his fourth in two games. He saved the biggest for last, however, at least in terms of damage. In the bottom of the eighth, facing catcher Rodolfo Durn, Swanson hit a grand slam to put the Cubs up 22-3. Swanson had a rough start to 2026 his OPS was just .587 after a Cubs loss to the Rockies on June 17. In the 13 games since, Swanson has hit .365/.393/.981 with nine of his 16 homers. Hes now caught up to last years above-average OPS+ of 104 despite a batting average thats still tanked due to how poorly the year began. He is on fire seriously, five homers in 24 hours, thanks to the day game and its helped the Cubs to 49 wins despite some cold stretches of their own in 26. The Dodgers took the first two games of their series against the Athletics, but the As managed to revive for the finale and avoid being swept. It also ended a four-game losing streak, which is important for two reasons: one, the AL West and wild-card races are close enough that any losing streak could be a real problem in the long run, and two, theAs just lost Brent Rooker for the season. The slugging DH and outfielder had already missed time this year and struggled when he was on the field, but the hope was a return for a player who hit 99 home runs with a .853 OPS over the previous three seasons. Instead, knee surgery ended his 2026, and the As will have to continue to go at it without him. Luckily for the Athletics, they still have power to draw from. Like that of DH Shea Langeliers, who hit his 20th homer of the season to put the As up 4-1 in the fifth against Los Angeles. Still, things just got a bit more difficult for the Athletics in their quest to return to the postseason for the first time since the shortened 2020 season. One game a time, though, thats how they have had to handle things in Rookers absence already. That this graphic even exists is incredible. Aaron Ashby is a reliever; being on pace for 23 wins as a reliever in early July is hilarious thats the kind of joke you make in April when stats are all small-sample-size wonky. Thats just how things have gone for Ashby, however: hes pitched well enough in 40 appearances, and been on the mound at the time the Brewers come back from behind or break a tie, to now be leading the league in wins. A freak setup, sure, but an explainable one! It happened again on Wednesday, even. Ashby entered into the game in the sixth inning, when the score was tied, 2-2. He stuck around for the seventh, throwing 1 scoreless with two strikeouts and one baserunner, and then the Brewers lineup struck again for the first time since, well, the first. That was center fielder Garrett Mitchell with an RBI triple to snap the tie; he would also be driven in afterward to make it 4-2, Brewers. Mitchell went 4-for-4 with two doubles in addition to that triple its all a matter of timing. He hit doubles without driving anyone in before or being driven in, and managed to get the triple with a runner on same as Ashby happening to come in and pitch well when given the opportunity, at the time a win was up for grabs and then his. Sometimes thats just how it goes. The Brewers are now up to 53-31, and have a chance for a four-game sweep over Cincinnati on Thursday.

It's been an eventful year so far in the wild world of MMA. UFC fights in unexpected, historic places. Fresh MMA offerings on Netflix, showing off some familiar faces from the sport's past. We've seen champs rise and fall in the first half of 2026. We've seen legacies built and broken. And it all happened just in the past six months, which is a little weird to stop and consider.But rather than let time slip through our fingers like grains of sand, we decided to stop and consider the highs and lows of the first half of the year. So here, let the Uncrowned staff guide you through 2026 so far. Enjoy the ride, friends.Justin Gaethje won two separate versions of the UFC lightweight title in the first six months of 2026, capping it off with a huge upset over Ilia Topuria. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Jeff Bottari via Getty ImagesFIGHTER OF THE HALF-YEAR: Justin GaethjeTwice in the first half of 2026 this man showed up for a UFC title fight as a heavy underdog. Twice he went home with brand new hardware and some choice words for the doubters. Not bad for a 37-year-old lightweight who many never expected to be anything beyond a good-time slugger.Honestly, Gaethje would have probably been deserving of this honor just by his last fight alone. A TKO victory over Ilia Topuria (our early pick for this category last year) in a fight where the odds said he'd be lucky to see the second round? Yeah, that's a big deal. To pull it off at the White House, in the main event of what's probably the most-watched UFC fight of all time, that only makes it bigger.But let's not forget that this was Gaethje's second big win of the year. The first came in January, when he beat Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight strap. Granted, even at the time there were those of us (ahem, me) saying that Gaethje should have been the betting favorite and not the underdog. But he fended off Father Time and set himself to get the undisputed hardware he once seemed destined to forever chase but never catch.That's about as good a six-month stretch as any fighter his age has ever had. And it's going to be tough for any others to beat. Ben FowlkesHonorable mentions:Sean StricklandJoshua VanCarlos UlbergKNOCKOUT OF THE HALF-YEAR: Alexa Grasso def. Maycee Barber 2 (UFC Seattle)If you have Carlos Ulberg on one leg, throwing out a Hail Mary left hook at an oncoming Jiri Prochazka as your knockout of the half-year, I completely get it. Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, even if the guy on the receiving end of it claims he was showing mercy in the aftermath, is unquestionably badass and equally spectacular. Long story short, I will not argue with you.However, it just so happens that Alexa Grasso executed one of the most beautiful demonstrations of mixed martial arts the world has ever seen three weeks prior to the Kiwi's heroic triumph.Grasso went into her second meeting with Maycee Barber on the back of two losses and was the sportsbooks' underdog. Just in case we forgot about the well-rounded display that saw her dethrone Valentina Shevchenko in Round 4 of their UFC 285 co-main event clash, she syncopated her arsenal into a three-second explosion.A right-left combo spun the heavy-handed Barber around, sitting her down on her backside. Not knowing Barber was already unconscious, Grasso jumped on her back like a seasoned jockey and immediately applied a fully locked rear-naked choke.Technically, it was a knockout. But it was so much more than that.Uncrowned's Drake Riggs remarked that he wouldn't mind if Grasso was awarded both submission and knockout of the half-year for the dynamic display.I'd tend to agree.

Polyana Viana via capsule lock (UFC Vegas 117)As much as we could have given both the knockout and submission to Alexa Grasso, it's much better to spread the love. I mean, does anyone even know what a capsule lock is? After piecing up Polyana Viana on the feet in their UFC Apex clash in May, Alice Ardelean took the action to the mat early into Round 2. Viana, a comfortable guard player, tossed her legs up in full guard to apply a body triangle, seemingly free of any danger.But Ardelean had learned this rare modified calf slicer when scrolling Instagram a few years back. After nearly a full round of seeking a move that looked like a complete accident, she pulled it off with a torn meniscus. It took several replays to understand exactly what had happened, but Viana was in pain, having her own legs used against her while wrapped around Ardelean. The best submissions are the ones that look like they don't make sense. This was the first time and possibly last that the capsule lock has worked in the UFC.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Jeff Bottari via Getty ImagesFIGHT OF THE HALF-YEAR: Ilia Topuria vs. Justin GaethjeIf you needed any reminders, UFC Freedom 250 entirely proved Justin Gaethje is that dude.The most exciting fighter of all time walked into the White House as a hefty underdog and unseated a pound-for-pound undefeated champion in a duel of epic proportions. I still can't believe that's a real sentence for multiple reasons, but Gaethje showed up more polished than ever, ready for war with "El Matador." Despite his thrilling ability to slug it out at any distance, Gaethje pieced up Topuria early with his jab in Round 1, finding moments for big uppercuts. The champion rallied in the subsequent round, integrating some competitive scrambles and monster body work to even up the fight.But Gaethje was too much down the stretch. Too battle-ready. Topuria had been in competitive bouts before, but none so damaging. Meanwhile, Gaethje barely had a scratch on him by the end of his masterclass. And so Gaethje turned Topuria's guts into a puddle with one of the more devastating knees to the body you'll ever see. The corner called the action off, and we had a new champion after a thriller. The third time was the charm for the American in the nation's capital, making it truly a scene straight out of a movie.

(Photo by SAUL LOEB / POOL / AFP via Getty Images)SAUL LOEB via Getty ImagesEVENT OF THE HALF-YEAR: UFC Freedom 250This was a high-risk, high-reward venture if ever there was one. Taking the UFC road show to the White House lawn not traditionally known as a much of a sports venue for an outdoor event inside an enormous custom-built "claw" structure? Let's just say there were no shortage of ways this could have gone very, very wrong.Which is not to say this event was flawless or beyond criticism. The UFC has increasingly made support for Donald Trump and his entire presidential administration an inescapable part of its brand, and viewers of this event weren't given much of a chance to ignore that. Add in some lazy AI history lessons and Josh Hokit's best attempt to embarrass the sport of MMA on the one night we had company over, and you have an event with both positives and negatives.Still, the massive viewership numbers (not Super Bowl massive, as promised, but that was always a ridiculous hope) and excellent individual performances made this a watershed moment for MMA and the UFC. Whatever your opinion might be of this event, you were forced to form one. And, with a big assistant from the U.S. Marine Band, the presentation of it all actually managed to feel a lot of classier than many of us expected. Ben FowlkesHonorable mentions:MVP MMA: Rousey vs. CaranoUFC 327Josh Hokit has won the fights and performed the antics to get himself noticed in the first half of the year. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Jeff Bottari via Getty ImagesBREAKOUT STAR OF THE HALF-YEAR: Josh HokitWhat springs to mind when you think of a modern-day star?In the spirit of the World Cup currently taking place, it might be images of thousands of people wearing the blue and white stripes of Argentina with "Messi 10" proudly printed on the back. Maybe it's tearful fans singing along with Taylor Swift as she performs in a live venue.Well, in mixed martial arts, stars can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with various (sometimes outlandish, perhaps even offensive) opinions.There may be no better example of how unhinged stars can be than the breakout MMA star at the midway point of 2026, Josh Hokit.His insults can be so cringeworthy, they make Dana White recoil as he stands alongside him on the dais. After President Donald Trump requested him to be on the White House card, "The Incredible Hok" gifted Trump with his rookie card on a necklace after dispatching Derrick Lewis. Minutes later, Trump parted ways with the gift after the former NFL fullback made a distasteful remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama.Hokit isn't for everyone, but as he recently told Ariel Helwani in a roundabout way, he purposely says provocative things so everyone is forced to have an opinion on him. It's hard to argue with his thesis that such comments have helped fast-track his trajectory, but they do make his skill set a secondary topic of discussion.His three wins in 2026 have proved that he is a viable contender for the UFC's heavyweight crown. His athleticism is arguably second to none in the division, and with his most recent wins over Curtis Blaydes and the aforementioned Lewis, his critics may as well get used to the bile-inducing feeling they get when he hits the mic, because Hokit and his many alter egos are going nowhere. Petesy CarrollHonorable mentions:Lone'er KavanaghQuillan SalkilldPatrick HabiroraJoselyne EdwardsSTORYLINE OF THE HALF-YEAR: UFC begins its Paramount eraThe past six months brought a development that I've never experienced in roughly three decades of MMA fandom: The price to watch UFC events went down. By a lot. The UFC's move to Paramount+ as the streaming home for every event going forward means that, for the first time ever, fans here in the U.S. have access to every tier of UFC programming for one monthly subscription price and that price is honestly pretty cheap, compared to what those ESPN+ pay-per-views used to cost.Jon Anik and Joe Rogan swapped out their ESPN mics for Paramount ones in a seismic move for the UFC. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)Chris Unger via Getty ImagesBut this development has been an MMA earth-shaker in more ways than one. Paramount paid a whopping $7.7 billion for seven years' worth of UFC rights, which signals either a serious commitment to and belief in this sport and brand, or else exceptionally poor longterm financial planning. Events like the UFC's White House extravaganza maybe don't happen without that extra impetus to bring in new Paramount+ subscribers, and the event itself probably would have brought in a fraction of the viewers if it had cost 80 bucks as an ESPN+ pay-per-view.But the UFC's move to an all-streaming home is also part of a broader picture. Over on Netflix, we're seeing that combat sports can do huge numbers when the right fighters get on the right platform. That whole ecosystem probably only encourages other would-be competitors, like Strikeforce founder Scott Coker's new venture, which is currently slated for a 2027 debut.The UFC's leap to this one-price-fits-all streaming structure also has the power to reshape incentives in a major way. Gone is the hope of pay-per-view points for UFC champions. Gone too is the need for fans to perform the tortured math around each numbered event, wondering if it's worth ordering. The UFC also has no immediately urgent need to ensure that every lineup is good enough to persuade fans to part with those pay-per-view dollars. Now as long as it keeps the subscription meter running, that's good enough.We probably still haven't seen all the ways this deal will reshape our little corner of the sports world, but the first six months have been eventful. They've also been relatively cheap unless you're Paramount. Ben FowlkesHonorable mentions:Rise of UFC competitors like MVP MMAUFC White House event brings mainstream scrutinyMMA refs under the microscopeRonda Rousey and Gina Carano both had reasons to smile after a successful debut for MVP MMA. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images for Netflix)Sarah Stier via Getty ImagesMOST SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT: MVP MMAIf you'd told us before the year that MMA would be hosted on Netflix in 2026, we would've expected it to be with the UFC. Obviously, right? There was no other fathomable option. Then Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions decided the time was now.Paul and company have always had links to MMA since his entry into the boxing world, whether with Paul's opponents or his involvement in PFL (for whatever that was). So when it was announced that both Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano would be returning to fight each other on Netflix under the MVP banner, the MMA world was collectively shocked. It still doesn't feel real, and after a successful 17 million-viewer count, there's promise for future MVP MMA events, according to co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.The possibility of MVP's MMA investment becoming nothing more than a flash in the pan is still there. But another major home for big fights couldn't be more needed in the sport as the 2030s near. Competition is always good, and rising tides lift all boats.
