It was a weird day on Monday for the Arizona Diamondbacks, to say the least.
The Diamondbacks flew to Boston to kick off a three-game series against the Red Sox. First pitch was scheduled for just after 7 p.m. ET. Typically, you see teams announce their starting lineups hours ahead of time. On Monday, the Diamondbacks had to wait until the buzzer to get their official lineup in.
That is because of the absence of superstar infielder Ketel Marte.
Marte flew to Boston with the Diamondbacks, but he didn't show up to Fenway Park on Monday.

Beloved US actress Hayden Panettiere, best known for her roles in the TV shows Heroes, Nashville as well as the Scream films, has died aged 36.
Her father Skip Panettiere described her as an "incredible light and a force of nature."
He said in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter: "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her – and to the millions who watched her onscreen. We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss."
The cause of her death was not immediately available. TMZ reports that Panettiere flew out of LA the day before her death with on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson.
"Police responded to an incident involving Hayden today and there is currently an open investigation," South Carolina police said.

Taylor Swift flew across the Atlantic to attend Laura Sisk and Oli Jacobs' wedding in the United Kingdom on Saturday. The wedding of the audio engineers took place at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios outside Bath in Gloucestershire.
On Sunday, People Magazine published photos from the wedding, showing Swift sporting a shoulder-length hairstyle and her signature bangs. She wore a navy blue dress with gold floral embroidery. In accessories, she opted for a pearl necklace and her signature bold red lip.
Swift's friends, Jack Antonoff and singer Sabrina Carpenter, also attended.
Taylor Swift has worn shoulder-length hair during several important periods of her career.
During the "1989" era in 2014 and 2015, she cut her long hair into a shoulder-length bob or lob. She kept the wavy, side-swept style through most of the 1989 World Tour before switching to a shorter, chin-length blunt bob in early 2016.

Hayden Panettiere, who rose to stardom on the small screen playing the indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet on "Heroes" and the feisty country music singer Juliette Barnes on "Nashville," has died at the age of 36.
Her rep confirmed her death on Sunday, according to ABC News.
"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her, and to the millions who watched her onscreen," the statement read.
The cause of death has yet to be determined.
According to a report by TMZ on Sunday, which cited sources with firsthand knowledge, Panettiere and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson flew from Los Angeles to the South on Saturday, and Hickerson's family was notified. One source referred to the situation as "a sad situation."

Box Score
The Brewers, who had a bit of a rough patch in San Diego earlier this week as they were swept by the Padres, bounced back nicely over the weekend, winning three of four against the mighty Dodgers — aided by some shaky defense — and rebuilding their lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.
William Contreras, batting in the leadoff spot for the first time in over two years, started things off with a single. Luis Lara then flew out, and Jackson Chourio, after just missing a homer as he fouled one just to the left of the left-field foul pole, struck out. With two outs, Jake Bauers picked up a single of his own, but the Crew couldn't get anything across as Andrew Vaughn flew out.
Logan Henderson gave up a leadoff single to Shohei Ohtani but left him there, inducing a flyout and striking out a pair to get through a clean inning.
The Brewers got one across in the second, with Brandon Lockridge drawing a walk, Jonathan Ornelas singling to push Lockridge to third, and Contreras taking a walk to load the bases for Lara. Lara hit a soft grounder to short, and Mookie Betts made the flip to second for the final out, but Tommy Edman missed the ball, and everyone was safe, giving Milwaukee a 1-0 lead before Chourio had a deep flyout to end the inning.

CHICAGO (AP) — Four more belugas have arrived at a Chicago aquarium as part of a plan to move Canada's last remaining captive whales from a shuttered theme park to aquariums in the United States and Spain.
The four whales, named Caspian, Peekachu, Rain and Secord, were the second group of belugas sent to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium from Marineland, in Ontario near Niagara Falls, after an initial four arrived in July.
They are among a total of 30 whales and four dolphins that will be transported from Marineland after the Canadian government approved of the rescue plan, which might have saved them from mass euthanasia.
Marineland announced in early 2023 that it was for sale and closed to the public in late summer 2024. Twenty whales — 19 belugas and one killer whale — have died at Marineland since 2019, according to provincial government data obtained through freedom-of-information laws and official statements.
As part of the rescue efforts, the whales have been making their international trips in custom-built slings and temperature-controlled transport containers. A team of experts flew to Canada to meet the whales' previous caretakers months prior and pored over years of their health records in preparation for the trip.

The Washington Huskies ran 125 plays in their first of two scrimmages of fall camp, and as has been the story for the majority of the first two weeks of practice, the defense stole the show.
On sustained drives, Washington's offense was able to muster just two touchdowns, as defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' overwhelming pass rush wreaked havoc against all the quarterbacks, and coach Jedd Fisch appeared very pleased with what he saw from the unit, which also held the offense to a combined 3-for-9 during a goal line drill.
"I thought our defense played really well, flew to the ball," Fisch said on Saturday night. "I love how fast our linebackers play; I love how fast our safeties play. I think that (Rylon Dillard-Allen) and Alex (McLaughlin) are two of the best that I've been around, and the last three safeties we had at the last spot are all drafted and playing in the NFL right now."
McLaughlin showed up all over the place on Saturday, as Walters deployed him everywhere from his traditional safety spots to inside and outside linebacker. He wreaked havoc in the backfield throughout the evening, and would've been credited with several sacks in live game action, as he pulled up to not hit various quarterbacks, but it was Dillard-Allen who made the biggest play of the day from the pairing.
In a late drill on the goal line, the sophomore safety met freshman running back Ansu Sanoe in the hole and knocked him backwards, sparking a celebration from Dillard-Allen that saw him run halfway across the field to get in the face of offensive lineman John Mills.

Saturday afternoon's outing in Orchard Park, N.Y. didn't go too well for the Carolina Panthers, who looked quite helpless throughout much of their 29-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills. But the rather dull preseason showing did produce a bit of light—in the form of second-year wideout Ja'seem Reed.
The 23-year-old receiver accounted for the first of two touchdowns on the day for Carolina, as he powered a 6-yard slant into the end zone right before halftime. Reed, through two preseason contests, has now turned six targets into five receptions, 47 yards and two scores.
His work throughout the summer has caught the attention of many in and around the organization, including the man whose opinion may matter most by month's end.
Here's what president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan had to say about Reed during the Panthers' broadcast of yesterday's game . . .
As an undrafted free-agent signee out of the University of San Diego in 2025, Reed flew under the radar during his first year in Carolina. He spent his entire rookie campaign on the practice squad, then re-upped with the organization on a reserve/future deal in January.

Tied after nine innings of baseball, the Orioles and Rays each turned to a member of their bullpen to try and keep the other team from scoring. For the Rays, it was Bryan Baker. Baker has transformed himself into a leading closer this year, posting a 1.55 ERA and a league-leading 34 saves. His last 21 appearances have come in Rays wins. For the Orioles, it was Cam Sanders. In 2025-26, Sanders made 15 appearances for the Pirates with an 8.44 ERA and 15 walks in 16 innings. The Orioles claimed him on waivers on July 13th. Which pitcher would you take?
Baker started the 10th inning against his former team with free (and pinch) runner Colton Cowser at second base. He was facing the top of the order, which naturally meant Tyler O'Neill. O'Neill was hitless to that point, but he came through in extras. Baker gave him a 96 mph fastball and O'Neill served it right back up the middle for a single. Cowser scored and the Orioles were back on top, 4-3. Pete Alonso followed with a single, but Baker stopped the bleeding after that. (If you were watching and worried about Alonso's apparent injury on this hit, Craig Albernaz said after the game that his calf was cramping and it's not serious.)
Then it was Sanders's turn. The bushy-bearded four eyes somehow already has two saves for the Orioles. Sanders got the first out on a line drive to center field that made me glad it was Cowser out there, then issued a walk to make things dramatic. But he came back and struck out Cedric Mullins and Richie Palacios to end the game. Orioles win, 4-3! Cam Sanders 1, Bryan Baker 0.
The game started, of course, with Kyle Bradish. He gutted through six innings without his best stuff tonight. His command was off; he was very hittable. Still, he got it done when he needed to and held the Rays to just two runs in six innings. It might have only been one run if not for a throwing error by Carlos Narváez.
Bradish started off pretty well. He worked around a single in the first and after a 1-2-3 second inning was sitting at just 19 pitches. That gave the Orioles the chance to take an early lead. In the second inning, Gunnar Henderson singled with one out. After Christian Encarnacion-Strand flew out, it was up to the bottom of the lineup to bring Henderson home. I am beginning to see why it's not ideal for him to bat fifth.

Djed Spence was 'drawn by the history' and trophy haul at Inter, noting this 'really is a massive club' after leaving Tottenham Hotspur, and ***** ures he 'likes to take risks' on the field.
The versatile full-back flew in on Thursday evening and underwent all his medical tests on Friday, finally announcing the transfer today.
It was a deal worth €35m including add-ons, plus a 10 per cent cut of the future sale fee going to Tottenham Hotspur.
Spence has signed a contract to June 2031 at San Siro, returning to Serie A after his brief experience on loan at Genoa in 2024.

Cristian Romero on Saturday completed his move to Atlético de Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur, after a club-to-club agreement was reached on Wednesday.
Romero on Friday flew to Madrid, underwent his medical and signed his new contract to 2031. The 28-year-old took training for the first time on Saturday, and he could be in the squad Wednesday when Atlético host Malága to begin its 2026/27 campaign. Romero had drawn interest from Inter Milan, FC Barcelona and even Spurs' city rivals ***** nal, once it became clear that the Argentina international would be leaving Tottenham; he said goodbye to Spurs fans in a video posted to social media on Friday.
Sporting director Mateu Alemany has closed this deal for an initial fee of €33 million, according to Marca. The Madrid daily reports that Spurs can receive another €7 million in bonuses. Spurs will retain a 15 percent sell-on clause, per reports in England. The fee is in line with each of the other deals Alemany has concluded this summer, the exception being Alejandro Grimaldo's €20 million move from Bayer Leverkusen.
Diego Simeone had long courted Romero, a 58-time Argentina international who led Spurs to a Europa League crown in 2025. Atleti attempted to sign him last year, but Spurs slapped an €80 million price tag on Romero and eventually renewed his contract to 2029 while naming him club captain. One summer later, after a turbulent campaign that saw Romero rip club management multiple times, Spurs are moving on — and Simeone is getting his top defensive target at last.
Following a 156-game Spurs career, Romero is expected to be the anchor of a refurbished defense at the Metropolitano. He can line up in a trio alongside Dávid Hancko and Marc Pubill to form a 3-5-2 where Grimaldo and Marcos Llorente would play as wing-backs. He can play in a four-man defense alongside either Hancko or Pubill; the other could slide over to full-back.

Ryan Clark headlined ESPN's first round of summer layoffs because ESPN chose to inform him by pulling him off the air from NFL Live on July 20. Bart Scott was also part of the layoffs, but he flew relatively under the radar, even though ESPN apparently informed him in a similarly ruthless way.
"Hey, man, I was going into my radio show, and they called me, like, 'Hey, uh, just to let you know, wish we could do it in person,'" Scott said while appearing on The Joint Venture Show with Craig Carton and Lil Wayne this week. "Like, no, you don't, motherf*cker. 'Oh, I wish I could do it in person!' Nah. So, it's like, 'We're not gonna renew you.' My contract is expiring in September. So, I found out that way."
Despite the lack of respect, Scott explained why he didn't let the nature of his exit tarnish his entire tenure or his outlook on his future.
"It's part of the business," Scott said. "You understand the balance, and I don't know what they had to do when they had to trim the fat. I had never been there, where my contract was expiring, because usually when it's a year, I get renewed. But it's what it is, man. Sometimes, losing your job can be some of the biggest blessings because it forces you to try and do something else and, sometimes, step out of your comfort zone.
"Listen, one thing that is constant is change, and I've been fired before. I understand the process, and I hold no ill will. I don't even know who made the call. But I did enjoy my time there. I enjoyed using the platform, keeping myself relevant. I wasn't a first-round draft pick; I'm not a Hall of Famer. I think I was a pretty good player, but I just appreciate them giving me the platform, and I'm not gonna hold any ill will toward them. It's my job to make them regret it."

"Like an owl that flew far in search of a home, I found a place for my heart to live." And Tricolor is Calleri's home, as he has renewed his contract with the club until December 31, 2028, with an option to extend it through the end of 2029 based on a sporting target — his previous deal was valid until December 31, 2026.
Champion of the 2023 Copa do Brasil and the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil, Jonathan Calleri has built a journey marked by goals and countless demonstrations of love for São Paulo across his two spells at the club.
"I'm very happy and very grateful to the São Paulo fans. I'm very happy to stay with you for two more years. I hope to bring great joy to our supporters," celebrated the 32-year-old Argentine center forward.
After a short spell in 2016, when he was a semifinalist and top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores with nine goals, the striker returned in August 2021 to reaffirm his connection with the São Paulo fans.
Calleri has made 262 appearances for Tricolor, with 91 goals and 30 ****** ists, and has racked up a number of scoring marks: São Paulo's top scorer this season (12 goals so far), São Paulo's all-time top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores (14 goals), MorumBIS' highest-scoring foreign player (54 goals), the highest-scoring foreign player in the Brazilian Championship (47 goals), and the highest-scoring foreign player in knockout matches (14 goals). He is also the club's second-highest foreign scorer overall (91 goals), third-highest scorer in international competitions (17 goals), and fourth-highest scorer for Tricolor in the 21st century (91 goals).

There might not be a more athletic couple in American sports than Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton. The Washington Spirit and USWNT star and the two-time reigning Canadian Open men's tennis champion have been together since early 2025 and are regularly seen supporting each other in action.
This week, Rodman appeared on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, where she revealed that her and Shelton's love story has a typically modern beginning. The two met online, with the 24-year-old Rodman making the first move.
"Everything I do is just embarrassing. I'm really embarrassed," a laughing Rodman told Kelce. "I said 'You're sick, fire emoji…It worked. He responded within 10 minutes, so I win."
"Our schedules were just so crazy, that we DM'd and we're just catching up," she continued. "He responded and was like 'Yeah, you were sick at the Olympics too, haha.' He matched the cringe situation and then one week later, we met in person."
Their first in-person meeting didn't occur at a coffee shop or restaurant or any of your customary locations. Instead, the 23-year-old Shelton "flew out" to spend the weekend with Rodman at her house.

Lionel Messi has spoken publicly for the first time since his father Jorge's death, publishing a letter that sheds light on how much the 2026 World Cup campaign meant to him and how losing his father at age 68 will affect him going forward.
Messi's clubs announced the death of his father, who was suffering from an illness during the 2026 World Cup, on Saturday, Aug. 8.
After Argentina's 1-0 extra-time loss to Spain in the World Cup final, Messi flew to Rosario to see his father. The player's hope, he said in the letter, was for his father to recover and be able to travel for the final of the World Cup he had pushed his son to play in. Instead, his health had deteriorated to a point in which he was unable to recall details of the match.
"When I got there, you thought we'd lost the final on penalties. We couldn't talk at all about everything that happened. You couldn't enjoy anything," Leo Messi wrote. "We weren't champions, but you don't know how we enjoyed every game. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play it."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Wednesday performed its second ballistic missile test in less than a week, its neighbors said, a likely protest of the upcoming South Korea-U.S. military drills that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said a ballistic missile fired from the North's eastern coastal Wonsan area around 6 a.m. flew more than 700 kilometers (435 miles). The **** anese Defense Ministry also detected the launch, saying the weapon landed in waters outside its exclusive economic zone, between the Korean Peninsula and **** an.
The launches, within days of each other, were seen as part of North Korea's extended run of weapons tests as the country has refused to return to talks with the U.S. and South Korea for years. Experts say North Korea often uses its rivals' military training as a pretext to boost its own testing activities.
South Korea's military said it remains ready to repel any provocation by Pyongyang in cooperation with the United States. South Korea's national security council called North Korean ballistic missile launches "acts of provocation" and urged the North to halt them immediately.
Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters that **** an strongly protested the North Korean launch through their embassies in Beijing. "It's a serious problem that affects the safety of the **** anese people," he said.

Just days after ESPN agreed to air the Patriot Games, an initiative of the Trump administration and the Freedom 250 project, one of its biggest stars joined the president for a photo op ahead of the competition's final round.
On Tuesday evening, a White House account on X posted a video of Pat McAfee welcoming President Donald Trump on the tarmac in Cleveland as Trump arrived for the high school sports competition. McAfee then smiled for photos with Trump before walking to Marine One, the president's helicopter.
Presumably, the two flew together to Spire Academy, the sports boarding school outside Cleveland where the inaugural Patriot Games were held this week.
Two high school-aged athletes from each state were selected to compete for a scholarship fund, which will be awarded to one young man and one young woman. According to the competition's website, "the event will feature a series of athletic challenges designed to test strength, endurance, agility, teamwork, and perseverance, including a Presidential Fitness Test, a military-inspired boot camp circuit, an obstacle course, and team competitions such as Kickball, Dodgeball, Tug of War, and Victory Hoops."
ESPN aired the Patriot Games on its app this week, and will broadcast a one-hour primetime special on its cable network Thursday night.

Ryan Seacrest flew a Dutch model to a private yacht this summer. Insiders say he is smitten. Ryan Seacrest and Maxime Nova have seemingly moved fast. Sources say the romance turned serious months ago.
A television host booked an entire twelve-person yacht for two people, then flew his companion out by private jet to meet him. People close to him say the pace of the whole thing has surprised everyone watching.
Ryan Seacrest has fallen hard for a Dutch model, and several people close to him say the romance turned serious faster than anyone expected, Page Six exclusively reported.
Maxime Nova, 34, holds his full attention these days. "He is completely besotted with her. And she feels the same about him as well," a source tells the outlet. "They are head over heels."
Both keep demanding calendars, yet insiders say they carve out whatever time exists between commitments. Over recent months, according to those familiar with him, the Ryan Seacrest relationship accelerated sharply.

Ty Gibbs continued to build momentum toward the NASCAR Cup Series Chase on Sunday, delivering another statement victory for Joe Gibbs Racing with a commanding performance in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway.
The win marked Gibbs' second victory of the 2026 season and capped an afternoon in which he overcame early competition from Ryan Blaney and teammate Christopher Bell before taking control when it mattered most. By the time the checkered flag flew, Gibbs had firmly established himself as one of the hottest drivers entering the final stretch of the regular season.
After Blaney started from the pole and swept Stage 1 by leading all 70 laps, the race appeared to shift in Bell's favor. Bell captured the Stage 2 victory and paced much of the middle portion of the event, looking poised to add another win to his résumé.
Instead, Gibbs emerged as the driver to beat during the closing run.
The No. 54 Toyota methodically worked his way to the front before pulling away from Bell over the final laps to secure another signature victory for Joe Gibbs Racing. Bell crossed the finish line second, while Blaney completed the podium after leading early.

Chelsea's pre-season campaign was all about new manager Xabi Alonso but, in truth, the 56 hours spent travelling 24,561 miles by plane had been organised long before his appointment in May.
The Blues travelled further and longer than any other Premier League club, almost twice as much as during last season's US tour under former boss Enzo Maresca, visiting Sydney, Hong Kong and Jakarta before finishing in Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia, on Sunday.
It was tiring for many, not least Alonso, but that did not stop him setting standards by running off the jetlag at a remarkable pace of four minutes 30 seconds per kilometre alongside members of the club staff.
It set the tone for a culture of not making excuses, as did his involvement in a staff match before the squad flew out.
The 44-year-old former Spain World Cup winner was on the winning side and set up most of the goals.

The 2023 Texas A&M baseball signing class was loaded with star power, but amid the headliners, one player quietly developed into one of the SEC's most dangerous hitters, and he's already making noise in the minor leagues.
Caden Sorrell never lacked talent, but sharing a class with Gavin Grahovac and joining a roster that already featured Jace LaViolette meant he initially flew under the radar. That changed quickly. Sorrell worked his way into the starting lineup as a freshman and earned Freshman All‑SEC honors. His sophomore season was derailed by injuries, limiting him to just 26 games, but his response in 2026 was emphatic.
Sorrell delivered a breakout campaign, slashing .341/.434/.743 with 77 hits, 23 home runs, and 67 RBI. By the end of his three‑year career, he ranked top‑five in program history with 46 home runs and totaled 158 hits, 151 RBI, and a 1.094 OPS. Numbers that made his selection at No. 62 overall in the 2026 MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs feel inevitable.
Now, just three games into his professional career with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Sorrell looks exactly like the hitter Aggies fans watched mature in College Station. Through his first few games, he's slashing .364/.417/1.053, a small sample size but an early sign that his power and approach translate cleanly to pro ball.
And like his former Aggie teammates, it didn't take long for him to notch his first major milestone.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A South Korean satellite has captured the first pictures of the moon's fresh crash scene caused by a stray ****** eX rocket.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute's Danuri ****** ecraft flew over the impact site soon after the Falcon 9 upper stage inadvertently plowed into the moon on Wednesday. Danuri made multiple passes, snapping photos from lunar orbit that were released by the ****** e agency Thursday.
The terrain is noticeably darker where the rocket hit and carved out a crater, sending dust and rock everywhere. Korean ****** e officials said Danuri gathered before and after shots.
NASA expects its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to fly over the crash site next week to view the aftermath.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mariano Rivera was back on the field at the Yankees' annual Old-Timer's Day on Saturday after tearing an Achilles tendon playing the outfield at the event last year.
With former teammate Jorge Posada catching him, Rivera threw 11 pitches to four batters. The 56-year-old faced Mickey Rivers, Johnny Damon, Nick Swisher and Shane Spencer in the exhibition game, which returned last season for the first time since 2019.
"They're still moving," Rivera said about his pitches on the YES Network broadcast. "That's good and the reaction is good."
Rivera, who hit an inside-the-park homer in his 2019 appearance, also took an at-bat against Mike Stanton and jogged to first when he flew out to center field.
Rivera was introduced last, just as Joe DiMaggio used to be. To the strains of Metallica's "Enter Sandman," the Hall of Fame closer doffed his cap and waved to the fans.

Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Kimberly Williams-Paisley says she bought at auction accessories that once belonged to her late Father of the Bride co-star Diane Keaton.

"Recently I bought this hat and gloves from the Diane Keaton auction. I'm so happy to have some of her iconic style with me," Williams-Paisley wrote on Instagram Friday, alongside photos of her wearing the items and channeling Keaton's signature style.
"While my friends and I were carefully unpacking these items and getting ready to shoot this, a gorgeous, gigantic bald eagle landed in a nearby tree, stayed for a moment and then flew off (see video). THIS IS SO RARE!! It definitely felt like Diane's energy was around us! The hat says, 'NO MORE WAR,' and she'd added a skull and crossbones. So, I'm passing along her message."
Keaton died of pneumonia in 2025 at the age of 79.

ATLANTA (AP) — Bryce Elder pitched one-hit ball over seven innings, Drake Baldwin drove in two runs and the Atlanta Braves won their season-high seventh in a row, beating the Miami Marlins 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Elder (8-6) turned in another excellent start after a tough June, surrendering his lone hit on a fifth-inning liner to left that Jakob Marsee hustled into a double. Owen Caissie, who had walked, raced to third and scored on Joe Mack's groundout.
That was it against Elder, who is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA over his last four starts. Didier Fuentes got the final four outs for his second career save after Dylan Dodd allowed a pair of singles in the eighth.
Baldwin capped a three-run second inning against Eury Pérez (5-9) with a two-out single to center that brought home a pair of runners. Austin Riley drove in the first run of the night with a ground-rule double.
Mauricio Dubón sent home Atlanta's other run with his 600th career hit. The RBI single came after a bizarre play in which Michael Harris' apparent steal of third was nullified when Mack's throw ricocheted off Dubón's helmet and flew into the stands, resulting in an interference call on the hitter.

A plane flew over Wrigley Field ahead of Tarik Skubal's Los Angeles Dodgers debut on Tuesday, Aug. 4. It was supposed to read, "The Dodgers ruined baseball"... if it weren't upside down.
The fumbled stunt, funded by sports gambling company Underdog, was intended as a jab at the back-to-back World Series champions — and their projected $322 million payroll — in the wake of their blockbuster trade for the best pitcher in baseball.
"We just want to say what every fan is already thinking," Underdog said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. And in that aspect, they accomplished just that. Just look at the replies under Jeff Passan's tweet when he broke news of the trade on Saturday night.
"They ruined the sport I love," wrote murphyJacks0n.
"We need a lockout," owennoble81 tweeted. "This is crazy."

Quarterback Jaxson Dart's antics landed him in hot water with his head coach during New York Giants training camp.
The competitive spark flew during practice in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., when Dart — the former Ole Miss star and 2025 first-round NFL Draft — celebrated a touchdown by whipping the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome II's face mask, according to People, which published its report Wednesday, August 5.

"Just them competing," tight end Isaiah Likely said of the moment between Dart and Newsome, per the report. "I mean, training camp, Day 2 of pads, getting tired, obviously in the red zone points are at stake. I mean, that's the type of dog you want in a quarterback."
Likely, who's played alongside Newsome for years, added, "And obviously, Newsome, I've been playing with him for quite a while. I know he's a dog himself. So he's not going to back down on ***** ody."

CHICAGO — Before Tarik Skubal took the mound for his much-anticipated debut in Dodger Blue on Tuesday, a plane flew over Wrigley Field during batting practice with a banner that read "THE DODGERS RUINED BASEBALL". That would be just the beginning of his not-so-warm welcome to the "Friendly Confines."
All eyes in the baseball world were going to be watching Skubal's outing, and the reception from the North Side crowd reflected the moment.
"The fans are what create the environment," Skubal said. "It's a ton of fun to play in front of crowds like that. Even if they're booing me or whatever it is. I think that's what makes the game of baseball really fun, the competition really fun, and the atmosphere is really fun.
"I'm sure that's not going to be the only rowdy atmosphere on the road. I plan on pitching in front of those atmospheres for the rest of the season, and then obviously when it comes postseason."

It was nothing more than a post-Open Championship vacation with his mother, but there could be no better place than Paris to remind Ryan Gerard how much life has changed in seven months.
Think back to the penultimate week in December when Gerard, a month into his offseason and at No. 57 in the world ranking, flew halfway around the globe to the tiny island of Mauritius for a shot at finishing the year in the top 50 in the world.
He lost in a playoff and moved to No. 46 to secure his trip to the Masters. His flight home included a long layover in Paris, enough time for him to see the Notre Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. "Pretty sick," he said that day.
Gerard opened the year with consecutive runner-up finishes. He earned his way into the U.S. Open and British Open, lost in a playoff at the Memorial and goes into the Wyndham Championship at No. 16 in the FedEx Cup as he looks toward making the Tour Championship.
His mother came over to Royal Birkdale, where Gerard tied for ninth, and they were off to Paris for three days. That's when Gerard, who doesn't take much serious outside of his golf, went on a most unusual search to find "the worst statue that I could possibly find."
