SPORTS.YAHOO.COMRyan McMahon and Trent Grisham deliver clutch hits for Yankees in 4-1 win over slumping MarinersNEW YORK (AP) Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham each hit a two-run single in the seventh inning to send the New York Yankees past the slumping Seattle Mariners 4-1 on Tuesday night.Ryan Weathers carried a one-hit shutout into the sixth and Luis Garca Jr. sparked the decisive rally with his second double of the night for New York, which leads the American League wild-card race.Randy Arozarena homered in the sixth for the fading Mariners (56-64), who have lost five in a row and 14 of 19 to fall a season-worst eight games under .500. Seattle, which opened a nine-game trip against three teams currently in playoff position, has mustered only five runs during the losing streak and nine in the past seven games.Jazz Chisholm Jr. sent Garca to third with a single in the seventh, and rookie Spencer Jones drew a one-out walk. McMahon gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead with a bases-loaded single off reliever Michael Rucker (0-4), and Grisham added his two-run single off Eduard Bazardo.Tim Hill (4-2) replaced Weathers with a runner on in the sixth and retired all four batters he faced. Brent Headrick struck out two in a perfect eighth and David Bednar got three outs for his 27th save.Chisholm was shaken up after trying to field Dominic Canzone's infield single in the ninth, but the second baseman remained in the game and followed with a terrific defensive play.In a matchup between struggling lineups, both starting pitchers shined. Seattle right-hander Bryan Woo went five innings in his second consecutive scoreless start.Weathers extended his career-best shutout streak to 23 innings before Arozarena lined an opposite-field homer to the short porch in right, giving Seattle its second hit and a 1-0 lead.The left-hander had set down 11 straight batters before that swing by Arozarena, a Yankees nemesis for years.Weathers allowed two hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. Yankees starters have permitted no more than one run in 10 of the past 13 games.Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor was rested with a sore right wrist. Up nextMariners RHP Bryce Miller (4-6, 3.08 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Wednesday night against RHP Will Warren (8-6, 4.18).___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb0 Komentáře 0 Sdílení 423 Shlédnutí 0 Hodnocení -
SPORTS.YAHOO.COMNolan McLeans strong outing wasted as Mets blanked by Braves, 4-0Nolan McLean bounced back on Tuesday, but his performance was wasted by a lifeless offense.The Mets' young ace tossed six innings, allowing just one run on one hit while striking out three in a 4-0 loss to the Braves on Tuesday night. However, the one hit he allowed was a solo home run to Ozzie Albies in the fifth inning.McLeans strong outing came after he allowed five earned runs in his previous appearance against the Cleveland Guardians.The Mets put together just four hits the entire game, two coming off the bat of Carson Benge and were 0 for 2 with runners in scoring position.Jefry Yan followed McLean and there was no jumping in the air for him tonight. The southpaw recorded two outs but allowed a run on one hit and three walks as it was far from an entertaining outing.Chayce McDermott tossed 1 1/3 innings to end the game, allowing two runs on a Matt Olson homer in the eighth. The Mets were seeking their third win in a row and seventh in their last eight games but will have to start a new positive stretch on Wednesday night in the series finale and rubber match against the Braves.Zac Thornton will take the ball for the Mets. Thornton is 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA in seven starts this season. Tyler Mahle (3-9 with a 4.83 ERA) will toe the slab for the Braves.0 Komentáře 0 Sdílení 423 Shlédnutí 0 Hodnocení -
SPORTS.YAHOO.COMRaspy Dan Lanning praises backup QB, 'really worried' about 1st scrimmageOregon football wrapped up its sixth practice of the 2026 season on Aug. 11 and the only part of coach Dan Lanning beginning to wear down is his voice, which was raspy from an afternoon of "encouraging" his players."It's that time of year," he said with a smile.Other than that, Lanning is thrilled to be in the thick of fall camp as the Ducks prepare for the Sept. 5 opener against Boise State."I love being on the grass, man," Lanning said. "I love seeing guys that make a mistake one day, they come out and fix a mistake the next day. A guy that pushes a little bit harder and fights his way through practice because it's taxing. You know, the growth moments."Here's what else Dan Lanning said Tuesday.Lanning on how quarterback Dylan Raiola is handling his new roleDante Moore is the unquestioned starter at quarterback for Oregon, but the Ducks also have one of the most experienced backups in Dylan Raiola, a former highly regarded recruit who started 22 games in two seasons at Nebraska, including all 13 as a freshman in 2024.When Raiola transferred to Oregon over the winter, there were questions about how the former starter would handle his new role as a reserve.Turns out, just fine. "He's been an unbelievable teammate. He's been a great teammate for Dante (Moore), a great guy to have in the room," Lanning said. "I'm really excited to see what he can do and let the play speak for itself. But he's getting better every day. I'm really proud of his progress."He's also been keeping Moore on his toes since camp began."The last few days of practice, the guy's thrown some dimes," Lanning said.Lanning looks ahead to first scrimmage of fall campThe Ducks will break from their daily practice routine on Saturday when they hold the first intersquad scrimmage of fall camp."We're not there yet, so I'm really worried about tomorrow's practice," Lanning said. "But when we get to that point, it'll be fun to see our guys go out there and compete, tackle."The Ducks started practicing in pads this week so there has been contact and some physicality during drills, but it's nothing compared to the real thing, Lanning said."With some of these stud drills, you get a false sense of if we're a good tackling team," he said. "When you actually take guys to the ground and challenge yourself for that aspect, I think it puts us in position to be a lot better and really evaluate, are we a team that can break tackles, are we a team that can make tackles?"Lanning said Brayden Platt will be out for a whileInside linebacker Brayden Platt is still sidelined from a undisclosed injury with Lanning unwilling to put a time on his return.The redshirt sophomore was hurt in spring and didn't play in the spring game April 25."He's going to be limited for a while," Lanning said. "With the injury that he (had) in the spring, I don't want to put a timetable on it, but he's going to be out for some time."Platt played in a reserve role and on special teams the past two seasons. Heading into the the Peach Bowl in January, he was moved to running back to give that position group some depth after injuries and transfers left the Ducks thin in the backfield.The top of the depth chart at inside linebacker for the Ducks remains Jerry Mixon and Devon Jackson. With Platt out, the primary reserves are Dylan Williams and Gavin Nix.Chris Hansen covers University of Oregon football, mens basketball, track and field, cross country and softball for The Register-Guard.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMHow Texas Tech football's Will Hammond, Quinten Joyner look one week inOffensive tackle Jacob Ponton and defensive tackle Mateen Ibirogba got tangled up and went to the turf during a recent Texas Tech football practice. The behemoths toppled, and because Will Hammond was in the vicinity, the Tech quarterback went down, too.Quarterbacks aren't supposed to get hit in practice, much less hit the ground. "Not going to lie," Tech coachJoey McGuire said. "I was holding my breath, but Will popped up and Mike (Ramirez), our head trainer, goes, 'I didn't have that on my bingo card, the first time Will would hit the ground is in this group.'"More: After USC-Texas Tech football talks fizzle, here's Tech's thinkingMore: 5 Texas Tech football freshmen who you should expect to see this fallFor Hammond, it's so far, so good in his comeback from a season-ending knee-ligament tear last October. The same mostly goes for Quinten Joyner, who was set to be Tech's starting running back before he suffered a knee-ligament tear of his own in mid-August last year."I'm really happy where they're at," McGuire said on Tuesday, Aug. 11. "Starting with Will, he's gotten to do a lot more than Q (Joyner) has leading up to camp and we don't hit Will, so there's a little bit of difference there, but I've been really proud of what he's doing. He's moving really well, whenever he has to sprint out, whenever he has to scramble."Whereas Hammond has ascended to No. 1 quarterback status after the ill-fated spring of Sorsby, the picture's changed in the other direction for Joyner. In Joyner's absence, Cameron Dickey and J'Koby Williams reached full bloom during the 2025 season, Dickey being a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award presented annually to the nation's top running back and Williams being a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award that goes to the country's most versatile player.More: 5 things to watch as Texas Tech football practice beginsMore: What goes into Texas Tech Ring of Honor selection? An inside lookDislodging them will be a challenge. Joyner, the most big-bodied of the three, is about 225 pounds at the moment. McGuire wouldn't mind if he trimmed back to 220. "He's just getting back used to being in the pads again, the cuts, where you are getting hit," McGuire said. "He's not been taken to the ground yet, but he's been hit some, so he's handling that really well. I just think Will, because he's gotten to do more football through the summer, that he's a little bit farther along, but I feel good about both of them."Even though Sorsby was signed from the NCAA transfer portal to give the Red Raiders certainty at quarterback during Hammond's rehab, Hammond was unabashed in his belief he was Tech's best option all along.Terrance Carter Jr. said that's been evident in the first week of practice. "Just how locked in he is, how he's having fun out there on the field," the Red Raiders' tight end said. "I can say he has added a lot of swag to his game. When I first came in, Will wasn't really talkative, didn't really have all the accessories and stuff on. This year, I can say he has a chip on his shoulder, and him knowing that he's 1-and-2 as a starter, it hurts him every day, and he wants to be better than that."When Behren Morton was sidelined the past two years, Hammond started the 2024 Liberty Bowl and 2025 regular-season games at Arizona State and at home against Oklahoma State. Tech lost to Arkansas 39-26 in the Liberty Bowl and at Arizona State 26-22. The Red Raiders beat Oklahoma State 42-0, the game in which Hammond suffered his season-ending injury.In 12 career games, the junior from Hutto has passed for 1,151 yards and 9 touchdowns and run for 348 yards and 7 TDs.Tuesday was the Red Raiders' fifth practice and their first in full pads by NCAA rule. They'll have their first intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMJays Beat Red SoxTORONTO, CANADA - AUGUST 11: Brett Bateman #21 of the Toronto Blue Jays hits an RBI-double to score in Nathan Lukes #38 (not pictured) in the third inning of their MLB game against the Boston Red Sox at Rogers Centre on August 11, 2026 in Toronto, Canada. (Photo by Cole Burston/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesRed Sox 3 Blue Jays 5Despite Dylan Cease not having his usual great start, it turned out to be a good game. Cease went 5 innings, allowed 5 hits, 4 walks, and 7 strikeouts, but gave up 2 home runs. Neither one was crushed; one just barely cleared the wall. For anyone else, it would be pretty good, but weve come to expect more from Cease.We used a lot of guys in the pen:Chase Lee got five outs, giving up a hit and two walks.Brandon Little got the last out of the seventh, striking out the lefty.Braydon Fisher pitched a quick eight, giving up just a walk.Spencer Miles got the save, giving up a double on a ball I expected Myles Straw to catch, but I think Straw thought the wall was closer than it was.On a day they rested Louis Varland and Tyler Rogers, our pen was terrific.Our offence? Well, we did get five runs, which is like other teams scoring 12.We had 10 hits. No homers, just two doubles for extra-base hits. Bateman, Straw and Kirk had two hits each. Clement was the only Jay not to reach base, and he hit into two double plays. It just wasnt his day. But he did get an RBI.We scored:One in the third: With two outs, Lukes singled, McAdoo walked, and Bateman doubled in Lukes.Two in the fifth: Andrs Gimnez started it with a single. Straw hit into a force at second. Lukes put down a nice bunt. And McAdoo hit a sac fly. And Bateman in another.One in the sixth: Springer led off with a walk. Kirk singled him to third. Clement hit into a force at second (but not a double play) and Springer scored.One in the eighth: Springer again led off, this time with a single. Kirk hit into a force at second. Josh Smith came in to pinch run. After Clement popped out, Gimnez was hit by pitch, right on the knee. It looked very painful. And Straw doubled home Smith.We should have scored more, but the double plays hurt. And Vlad, with Bateman on first, lined one into the right field corner, but Wilyer Abreu did a great job getting to it before it made the back wall and made a perfect throw into second, getting Vlad. I thought it was a double off the bat, but the play in the corner was great. Likely Vlad had turned at first and didnt see the pickup, but wed have been gett off with him sticking at first.And there was some amazing Jays defense. In particular, Gimnez made a super play on a ground ball to his right, diving, popping up and throwing a perfect bounce throw to firstjust an amazing play. Charles McAdoo looked far better at third than I expected. Kirk threw out a runner stealing, terrific throw.Jays of the Day: Bateman (0.26 WPA, I thought he did a great job in the post-game interview with Hazel), Kirk (0.17, plus the throw), Straw (0.16, maybe subtract a little for the missed catch in the ninth), Lee (0.12) and Fisher (0.12). Honourable mention to Spencer Miles for the save.Other Award: Clement (-0.15), Vlad (-0.12) and Cease (-0.12).Tomorrow is game 3 with the Red Soxanother 7:00 Eastern start. Ranger Suarez (4-3, 3.32) vs. Jos Soriano (9-6, 3.24), making his second start for the Jays.0 Komentáře 0 Sdílení 401 Shlédnutí 0 Hodnocení -

While Instagram was initially created for individuals to share photos online with friends, fast forward to today, and the platform has become something bigger than anyone could have imagined. In that space, celebrities share their own content, and often times engage with commentaries for the world to see.Tom Bischof recently checked in with some interesting commentary as the Bayern Munich midfielder made a public like on a post of Lothar Matthus comment: The competition for places in Bayerns midfield is more exciting than the title race.Lothar Matthus in his Sky column: 'The competition for places in Bayern's midfield is more exciting than the title race' Liked by Tom Bischof pic.twitter.com/mVHAhg756e Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) August 11, 2026While the comment from the German legend, doesnt take anything away from any of Bayerns players, it can be seen as a bit of a nod to former Hoffenheim talent, Tom Bischof. Bischof, as many are predicting, is believed to play a much larger role for Bayern this season, and perhaps even overtake Aleksander Pavlovi in the pecking order in Munich.While Bischofs like on the post is harmless, it shows he is accepting the challenge boldly, for all to see. The like shows confidence, without being arrogant, and there is clearly a friendly rivalry between Bayerns midfield. A little competition never hurt, and for Bayern, it is not a bad problem to have.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:New, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts0 Komentáře 0 Sdílení 403 Shlédnutí 0 Hodnocení
