Los Angeles Dodgers two-time World Series champion Miguel Rojas is set to have an emotional day on Sunday, September 13th, as he plays in what may be his final game for his longtime team.
Rojas has not played this series against the Marlins since they faced two different right-handed pitchers, with Alex Freeland taking all of the looks at second base.
Despite facing yet another righty, Roberts said Rojas will start and get his moment.
"He'll start tomorrow… For that reason. I talked to him about it; he's excited, and I'm excited to have him in there tomorrow," Roberts said.

When the Miami Dolphins take the field on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, a trio of first-year players have the potential to collectively make NFL history. Three of Miami's 13 selections from the 2026 NFL Draft were wide receivers Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr.
Douglas was Miami's first receiver taken during this past April's draft when the Dolphins used pick No. 75 on the Texas Tech product. Bell from Louisville was selected with pick No. 94, and Coleman Jr. with pick No. 177 out of Missouri.
While a rare occurrence in any team class, there have been several instances where three receivers were selected by one team in a single draft. In fact, the Dolphins last tripled up at the position in 1975 with Freddie Solomon, Morris Owens and Leonard Isabell.
What has never happened before in league history is three drafted receivers each recording a reception during Week 1 of their rookie season. Douglas, Bell and Coleman could be that lone trio come Sunday. There have been a few close hits, but in the dozen or so cases, Miami's young trio could break the ice.
For Miami in 1975, none of these three recorded a catch back in Week 1 when they lost to the Oakland Raiders. Back in 2014, the Jacksonville Jaguars had three wideouts haul in a catch during Week 1 as rookies, but only two were actual draft selections.

Uncrowned has Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, highlights and start time for the Garcia vs. Benn fight card on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two of boxing's biggest and most polarizing stars go head-to-head as Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight ******* le against Conor Benn in the night's main event.
Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) captured the WBC welterweight ******* le with a dominant unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios this past February in Las Vegas. He has two defeats: a 2025 decision loss to Rolando "Rolly" Romero for the WBA welterweight ******* le and a seventh-round TKO at the hands of Gervonta "Tank" Davis in 2023.
Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) narrowly fell short against Chris Eubank Jr. in a Fight of the Year in April 2025. He avenged that defeat last November, knocking down Eubank twice in Round 12 to seal a masterclass performance.
Benn shocked the boxing world this past February by announcing a defection from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Benn outpointed Regis Prograis in his Zuffa debut in April.
In the night's co-feature, former two-time IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (30-0, 23 KOs) challenges WBC champion Noel Mikaelian (28-3, 12 KOs). Although there is no official confirmation yet, the WBC cruiserweight ******* le isn't expected to be on the line, with Mikalian set to be stripped by the sanctioning body upon the start of the bout.

25-year-old Guardians LHP Parker Messick made his MLB debut last August, and so far the results have been pretty spectacular. Even if they're helped a little by a lucky batting average on **** in play (he's at .264 for the season, the MLB average is .289). That's not a crazy outlier though, I don't think. Messick relies heavily on a 94-ish fastball and slightly slower sinker; that combo has been dynamite for him this season. He'll frequently mix in a change, less frequently some breaking stuff.
75 years ago, Bill Veeck pulled one of his signature wacky baseball stunts. He signed 3'7" Eddie Gaedel to the Browns' roster and had him pinch-hit in a game. Gaedel drew a walk — obviously his strike zone was small — and Veeck replaced him with a pinch-runner. The pinch-runner didn't score
Now, Veeck owned the St. Louis Browns at that time, not the team in Cleveland. (So this is kinda the wrong week for this post. I thought this happened in Cleveland, until I started writing it.)
But Veeck had owned the Indians for four years, selling them in 1950 when he needed money for a divorce settlement. And had done some notable things with the team, like signing the first Negro League player to join the American League, Larry Doby. (When manager Lou Boudreau introduced Doby to the team, three players refused to shake his hand — and Veeck got rid of all three.) In 1949, Veeck signed Satchel Paige, the oldest rookie to ever play in MLB at the age of 41; he'd pitch 155.2 innings over two seasons for the team (and then became a two-time All-Star with the Browns).
Veeck claimed the idea of using a small person as a pinch-hitter was his own notion… however, there'd been a 1941 story in The Saturday Evening Post called "You Could Look it Up" by James Thurber, author of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." You can read the Thurber story here, if you like. It has paintings by Norman Rockwell which are very detailed and striking, as usual:

These are weird times for the 'Notorious' Conor McGregor.
The Irish sports star came into his bout with Max Holloway at UFC 329 in July with muted fanfare, as UFC tried its best not to give oxygen to McGregor's decade of past controversies. They did this despite their former champ-champ being found liable for rape in an Irish civil court in 2024.
Despite best efforts to present McGregor as his best self, the 38 year-old came into the Octagon looking old and tired. He blew his knee out on his first foray forward and was forced to fold in the middle of the cage, before a thoroughly bemused Holloway. The ACL injury he suffered that night required surgery and will mean another long wait before McGregor gets back in the fighting arena.
The Holloway fight was the penultimate bout on McGregor's UFC contract. Whether he gets another fight, and a chance at liberation, is up in the air.
Eddie Alvarez is one man who knows exactly how tough these kinds of situations can be. 'The Underground King' was subject of legal action from Bellator when he jumped ship to join UFC in 2014. All the stress of that departure was worth it in the end, though, with Alvarez winning the UFC Lightweight **** le two years later.

Eddie Hearn's roster of UFC fighters appears to have a new addition in the form of Paulo Costa. The former middleweight ***** le challenger is set to join Matchroom Talent Agency alongside reigning heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and Ian Machado Garry.
The Brazilian recently revealed that he has parted ways with longtime manager Tiki Ghosn and is now ready to start a new chapter. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Costa revealed that he is set to begin a new managerial partnership with Hearn.
Costa revealed that Hearn sent him the contract a few days before his UFC 332 controversy erupted. He also confirmed that Hearn will handle both his sponsorships and managerial duties moving forward.
He said, "Yes, both! The whole thing. I have too much respect for what he's doing. He's a great guy, a great professional. I think we're going to do great things together."
Costa added, "He's a super important person in the fight business. Not only in MMA, but not only in boxing, but he's coming to MMA right now. I think this is a great acquisition for the MMA community."

3 games Miami WR Malachi Toney could cement his Heisman Trophy race originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
If you haven't heard about Malachi Toney by now, you are living under a rock. The 18-year-old prodigy out of Liberty City, Florida has taken the college world by storm after his astonishing freshman season. He helped lead Miami Hurricanes to another national championship appearance.
Toney's week one performance against Stanford on Saturday will never be forgotten, literally, because he set the Miami Hurricanes' single-game receiving record with 234 yards and a hat trick. Eddie Brown previously set the record in 1984 against Boston College with 220 receiving yards. He finished his 2025 campaign with 1,211 receiving yards, 109 receptions, and 10 touchdowns, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards at 18 years old.
Miami head coach Mario Cristobal was asked about Toney on the Pat McAfee Show and gave nothing but praise to his star-studded receiver: "He's put on 12–14 pounds of muscle man; he can accelerate and decelerate at a higher rate." Cristobal said. "He is stronger, he is faster, and then the time he puts in it's never changed, he always tries to push the envelope with that."
Cristobal's praise and the stats tell the story of the player Toney is, but three games could close the door on his competition.

Eddie Alvarez has an interesting opinion on who could be more trouble for UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje.
As Gaethje (28-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) takes the rest of 2026 off after an upset ******* le win over Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250, Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy will battle in a potential No. 1 contender bout at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Although Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) is more well rounded and has the far better resume than Ruffy (14-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), Alvarez sees Ruffy being a tougher challenge for the champion.
"I actually like Justin's chances a lot against Arman," Alvarez told MMA Junkie. "I think that style against Arman, that's an easier style. I think that's an easier style for Justin than against Ruffy. I think if Arman and Ruffy fight, I think Arman probably wins. But the style matchup that's worse for Gaethje is against Ruffy. Even though it's MMA math and Ruffy loses against Arman, I think Justin has an easier time with Arman."
Former UFC lightweight champion Alvarez broke down why he sees Ruffy presenting a tougher challenge for Gaethje.

It's official! Prince George is an Eton College student. The future king had his first day at dad Prince William's alma mater on September 8, beginning a new school that is known for it's prestigious education and strict rules.
According to CNN, the college only accepts around 270 students each academic year and they range in age from 13 to 18 years old. Students have to pay a pretty penny to attend the institution that has an annual fee of about $84,900 a year.

Surging heavyweight Josh Hokit went on tirade on social media after former two-division UFC champion Alex Pereira posted a video campaigning for a rematch with Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt.
In a series of X posts targeting Pereira and making his case for the next shot at Gane, Hokit criticized the idea that Pereira and Ilia Topuria could challenge for belts next after both got finished by Gane and Justin Gaethje this past June at UFC White House, respectively.
"As a fan, that fight makes no ***** sense," wrote Hokit, who finished Derrick Lewis on that same card. "I watched you get demolished. How about a more favorable match up like Sergei [Pavlovitch] who is basically a striker & way less athletic than Ciryl. How about you get one ***** win in this weight class before you are gifted another ***** le shot."
"Growing up, I loved the UFC & all of its fighters," he continued on a separate post. "So it gives me great pleasure to use my platform today to speak the truth: neither Ilia Topuria nor Alex Pereira deserve a ***** ***** le shot in their next fight. They both got handily destroyed. Make them earn it and fight their way back like everyone else."
Hokit argued that Tom Aspinall's manager Eddie Hearn is "obviously" stalling to "buy time in contract negotiations" instead of working on a deal for a ***** le unification bout with Gane. Hokit suggests, then, booking him versus Gane on the upcoming Madison Square Garden show November in New York, while Pereira battles Pavlovich on the same card.

Hello everyone, and welcome back for another week of rankings in the UFC. This weekend was another great card for the UFC, in which we saw Salahdine Parnasse knock out Dan Hooker in under three minutes in the first round.
The next event for the UFC is UFC Fight Night 288 in Glendale, AZ, which features Jean Silva versus Jose Delgado as the main event for NOCHE. This match shouldn't last long, and that sucks for anyone who loves watching both of these fighters.
That being said, let's get to this week's rankings and see who made it. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

Millwall host Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, with the Magpies looking to build on an unbeaten start under new head coach Matthias Jaissle against a Championship side finding some form of their own.
Alex Neil's Lions arrive full of confidence after thrashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 at The Den at the weekend, while Newcastle sit seventh in the Premier League having drawn two of their opening three matches.
Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe as Newcastle's head coach in August and has overseen an unbeaten start despite the summer departures of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. He has already been warned about the atmosphere awaiting him at The Den, joking he will be "protected" in his technical area, and is still weighing up how far to rotate his side with a demanding run of fixtures ahead. Tuesday's tie will be the first meeting between the two clubs since 1993, when Newcastle won 2-1.
Date: Tuesday, 8 September 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: The DenReferee: Craig PawsonLast meeting: Newcastle United 2-1 Millwall (April 1993, League Division One)
Millwall have a lengthy absentee list of their own, with Josh Coburn, Casper De Norre, Tristan Crama, Ryan Leonard, Mihailo Ivanovic and Mathis Servais all out through injury. Alex Neil is expected to make changes from the side that thrashed Bolton, with Danny Batth, Jake Cooper and Elkan Baggott possible inclusions in defence and Lyndon ***** s handed a chance to lead the line.

Serie A side Juventus signed Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle United late in the summer transfer window. While the German is yet to make his debut for the Bianconeri, big praise has come from Juve legend Gianluigi Buffon.
The Germany international has a frustrating 2025/26 campaign with the Magpies. Ex-Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe often used him deeper on the pitch and this led to a fall in prominence.
A move to Juventus is now viewed as a shot at redemption. Buffon spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about Juve's business in the summer and placed special emphasis on Woltemade.
The ex-keeper said: "I'm curious about Woltemade. I want to see if his physicality, his 198 centimeters (6'4") combined with excellent technique, will be as dominant as I expect."
Buffon also revealed belief that Woltemade can make the same impact as Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his younger days.

LOS ANGELES — Tommy Edman made a fantastic defensive play to rob extra bases, then rounded said bases after a three-run home run that helped the Dodgers to a 6-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Down two runs in the seventh inning, Alex Freeland walked with one out and Kiké Hernández singled with two out. That set the stage for Edman, who jumped on a high slider from former Dodgers draft pick Clayton Beeter for a three-run home run, turning the game around.
Edman in five games on the homestand has nine hits in 22 at-bats (.409), what a way to make a living.
With no Shohei Ohtani in the lineup for a third straight day, the Dodgers were also without two other planned starters with Dalton Rushing scratched with elbow soreness and Max Muncy sick. They still managed to score a pair off Washington's best starter, Cade Cavalli in the opening frame. Freddie Freeman was hit by a pitch and Mookie Betts singled with one out. Teoscar Hernández continued his solid week or so with an RBI single, and catcher Hunter Feduccia added another.
Tyler Glasnow struck out eight but pitched through traffic most of his night, and allowed four runs.

Mortgage rates hit their highest level in over a year as a global bond selloff intensified and Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh signaled in a closely watched speech that the central bank may soon need to raise benchmark interest rates.
The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 6.71% this week through Wednesday — the highest since June 2025 — according to Freddie Mac data, up from 6.66% a week earlier. Other measures of mortgage rates have shown an even bigger jump. Mortgage rates on Wednesday averaged 6.91%, according to Mortgage News Daily.
The 10-year Treasury yield, which mortgage rates closely track, has risen sharply in recent weeks as investors worldwide grow more jittery about inflation.
In a speech last Friday, Warsh emphasized the Fed's commitment to reducing inflation, noting "inflation is running above our 2% target. So the Fed's predominant focus right now should be on prices."

The Dodgers stared in the eyes of a third straight defeat, but a walk-off double by Teoscar Hernández lifted the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
The Cardinals were the first to strike against Tarik Skubal, as after St. Louis put the first two men on with a pair of singles, Joshua Báez smacked the third single of the inning through the right side to bring home José Fermín.
Skubal managed to work a scoreless second inning with a pair of bookend strikeouts while leaving two men on, but the Cardinals broke through in the top of the third with a pair of two-out singles from Leo Bernal and Ramón Urías, plating Iván Herrera and doubling the Cardinal lead. Skubal found himself in a groove over his next two innings, but once again put two men on in top of the sixth inning. After striking out Nathan Church for the second out of the inning, Dave Roberts went to the bullpen, pulling the left-hander after 5 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals accounted for 10 hits against Skubal— all singles— which tied his career high for the most hits allowed in a single start. It was the first time Skubal couldn't complete six full innings since he tossed five against the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 11. The Cardinals wouldn't get an extra-base hit until Jordan Walker's double against Evan Phillips in the top of the seventh inning.
For a Dodgers team that struggled to hit with guys in scoring position the game prior, Thursday's matchup replicated those same misfortunes. The Dodgers scratched across a pair of baserunners in the bottom of the first inning, third inning and fifth inning against rookie Quinn Mathews, but each time, the offense found a way to be their own obstacle. The Dodgers were able to tack on one run against Mathews, with a wild pitch to Freddie Freeman in the fifth inning sailing past Herrera to plate Tommy Edman in the fifth.

As promoter Eddie Hearn tries to quantify the impact Katie Taylor has made throughout her career, there is a smile and shake of the head as he says, "the whole story, you couldn't make it up."
On Saturday night, Taylor will make her final walk to the ring when she takes on Flora Pili at Croke Park, with the chance to become undisputed light-welterweight champion once again.
While Taylor entered professional boxing in 2016 with an Olympic gold medal, five world and seven European amateur ****** les to her name, there were no guarantees that star power could flourish in the paid code where women's boxing remained firmly in the shadows.
After agreeing to meet Taylor, her mother Bridget and manager Brian Peters, Hearn's interest was more than piqued.
"I went into that meeting, I would say 90% in my mind I wasn't going to do anything," said the Matchroom chairman.

A loan estimate looks like a done deal. It isn't. Some of the numbers on it can legally change by up to 10% before closing, and a few can change by any amount.
Shopping around for a mortgage is crucial, and it starts with the loan estimate, a three-page document detailing the interest rate, estimated costs and other loan terms.
87% of 2025 borrowers paid above the most competitive rate available to them simply because they didn't compare offers, according to Bankrate's Hidden Homeownership Tax research. The typical cost of not shopping: $3,343 a year, or $278 a month.
A mortgage loan estimate is a standardized, three-page document that a lender must send you within three business days of receiving your mortgage application. It lists your rate, monthly payment, closing costs and other terms — but none of these numbers are final. Think of it as a detailed price quote: close enough to compare lenders and build an accurate budget, but not enough to guarantee what you'll actually pay at closing.
When you compare loan estimates from more than one lender, you're more likely to uncover the lowest rate you actually qualify for. Freddie Mac found that borrowers who obtained two rate quotes during the high-rate months of October and November 2022, when average rates topped 7%, could have saved up to $600 a year. Borrowers who obtained at least four quotes could have saved more than $1,200 a year.

After suffering a slight strain to his left quad, Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz was in the designated hitter spot for the entire series against the San Diego Padres.
"He has done a really good job," Reds manager Terry Francona said. "(On Tuesday, Sept. 1), he (ran) first to third. He kept his head up, knew where the ball was. He had a pretty good governor. He knew where he was going. He handled it pretty good."
The Reds have been keeping an eye on De La Cruz, and he doesn't always have to run at his very top speed as a way to protect his quad.
"(The doctor) thinks Elly can play through this with the caveat that if it gets worse, he's got to let us know," Francona said. "He has promised he'll do that."
De La Cruz was pulled from the game last Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. "Me and Freddie (Benavides) kind of double-teamed him about coming out," Francona said.

Brandi Glanville has spent years speaking openly about her complicated history with Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes. Now, the RHOBH alum has revealed an unexpected change in how she feels about both of them.
Brandi Glanville made the admission during the Aug. 27 episode of her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. While discussing friendships, she explained how her relationship with LeAnn Rimes has changed over time. "I like LeAnn more than I like Eddie," Glanville said. However, she admitted that both Rimes and Eddie Cibrian can still annoy her.
Even so, Glanville believes the two women now genuinely like each other. In fact, she thinks their bond has surpassed either woman's relationship with Cibrian. "I feel like we both like each other more than we like Eddie," Glanville said. She added that reaching this point "took 10 years."
Their calmer relationship marks a dramatic change from the past. The Eddie Cibrian affair with Rimes became public while he was married to Glanville. Rimes and Cibrian later married in 2011.
For years, the fallout fueled tension between the women. However, their relationship gradually changed as they focused on family. By 2021, Glanville said she and Rimes had become "like sister wives". The former RHOBH star shares sons Mason and Jake with Cibrian.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has expressed regret over not bringing Katie Taylor to GAA headquarters earlier, following extraordinary ticket demand for the Irish fighter's farewell contest at Croke Park.
The 40-year-old will fulfil a lifelong dream when she takes to the ring in Dublin on Saturday night, seeking to become a three-time undisputed world champion against the undefeated Flora Pili.
A sell-out crowd of 80,000 is set to gather for the pioneering athlete's final bout prior to retirement, though Hearn remains confident that vast numbers of additional tickets could easily have been sold.
Previous concerns regarding financial viability, substantial security expenses, and complex logistics had dissuaded the promoter from organising a Croke Park show headlined by Taylor—a hesitation he now reflects on with disappointment.
Hearn said: "If Croker would have originally gone 'Yes, this is going to be massive', I would have gone 'Wow' and we would have done it.

Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards has described the decision to cancel Ski Sunday as a "huge blow" and believes it could harm Britain's progress in winter sports.
The BBC announced on Tuesday that the programme, which was first broadcast in 1978 and aired on Sunday evenings during the winter, had become the latest victim of its cost-saving measures.
Edwards, who appeared on the programme in the 1980s during his rise to fame as Britain's first Olympic ski jumper, told BBC Breakfast: "This is a huge blow.
"For many people it used to be the only programme to watch our winter athletes. It's very, very sad news.
"As soon as that theme tune came on, I used to run as a teenager to the front room to watch Ski Sunday. It kept me going, it made skiing so exciting for me and I absolutely loved it."

Liverpool have moved early and decisively, completing the signing of teenage goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans from Genk in a deal worth up to £30m. He is 18, stands at 6ft 7in, and has signed a six-year contract. For now, there is no rush. He will stay at Genk on loan for the rest of this season and arrive at Anfield ahead of the 2027-28 campaign.
This is not a transfer driven by short-term need. It is a calculated investment in a specialist position where timing matters. Goalkeepers develop differently, and Liverpool clearly believe Brughmans has the profile to become a serious first-team option down the line. He has already started all four of Genk's games this season and has represented Belgium at youth level, which tells you there is substance behind the fee.
The headline figure is up to £30m, with add-ons built into the agreement. In simple terms, Liverpool are paying for potential, height, reach and projection. In the modern market, elite young goalkeepers are expensive, particularly when clubs think they can become starters for a decade.
There is also logic in the timing. Liverpool currently have Alisson, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman and Vitezslav Jaros among their goalkeeping options. Alisson's contract expires next summer, while Mamardashvili's longer-term situation remains unclear. Brughmans gives the club another route, and a potentially high-upside one.

Outhomering the Dodgers five to zip, the Cardinals had no trouble controlling this game right from the jump in a 13-8 blowout win. For the first time since joining the Dodgers, Eric Lauer delivered a bad enough start at home that helps illustrate why he was available in the first place, ready to be scooped up by one of baseball's strongest teams. Lauer ran into all kinds of issues, first crushed by the long ball and then dealing with a massive rally courtesy of nothing but singles, walks, and an HBP.
The bottom of the Cardinals' order first gave Lauer problems, with Ramón Urías and Thomas Saggese demolishing fastballs in the middle to upper part of the zone to leave the yard in back-to-back at-bats in the second. Saggese, in particular, was on an inspired night, later also crushing his second homer in the game to triple his total (1) before the start of play. Equally not known for his pop, Urías hit what was only his fourth long ball this season.
Still, both of those were solo shots, and only trailing 2-0, Lauer had a path to find himself once again, but in the third inning, it all quickly unraveled for the veteran southpaw. Six of the inning's first seven hitters reached safely; a little later, Nathan Church drove in the Cards' seventh run on an infield single—the runner from first was thrown out trying to go to third on the play, ending the inning with the score 7-0.
A seven-run deficit is a daunting challenge to overcome, but with six innings still to go, the Dodgers had nothing but time, and for a brief moment it looked like they'd get back into it. Back-to-back walks by Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman loaded the bases with two outs in front of Mookie Betts. And probably with more luck than skill, Betts cleared the bags on a fly ball to right that likely should've been caught but was aberrantly misplayed by the Cardinals' defense. The scoring in that inning stopped there, and as much as the end product was promising, you couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated at the lack of thump—by the end of three frames, the Dodgers had three runs and just two hits.
Understanding full well who they were going up against, the Cardinals made it so that the Dodgers weren't able to gain much momentum by scoring two of their own in the following frame to make it 10-3. Looking to get in on the fun alongside the bottom of the order, Jordan Walker took Alex Vesia deep in the fourth for a two-run shot, as Lauer got the hook after three dreadful innings of work.

Brughmans has agreed a six-year contract with Liverpool and will remain at Genk on loan this season before moving to Anfield ahead of the 2027-28 campaign.
The Belgian keeper, who is 6ft 7in, has started all four of Genk's games this season and has represented his country at youth level.
BBC Sport understands that there is an inital fee alongside follow up payments and the figure of around £30m is at the top of what can be achieved.
As it stands, Liverpool have Alisson, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman and Vitezslav Jaros as their goalkeeping options, but with Alisson's contract expiring next summer and Mamardashvili's future looking uncertain, Brughmans will be an option from the summer of 2027 onwards.
