- Last Night in Baseball: Phillies Walk Off Giants Twice in One Day
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 Phillies and Giants were rained out on Wednesday, forcing a doubleheader into existence on Thursday. One can’t say that San Francisco would have won either of these contests had they happened at their regularly scheduled time, but, we can at least believe that they couldn’t have gone much worse. The Giants lost both games, and both in the bottom of the ninth via walk-off. To kick things off in game one, designated hitter Kyle Schwarber hit career home run number 350 to cut the Giants’ early lead in half to 2-1. There would be no more scoring in the game until the ninth inning, from either team. And the Phillies finally scored there in an at-bat that should be studied in a lab. Righty reliever Ryan Walker threw nine sinkers in a row to second baseman Bryson Stott, all either completely outside the strike zone or at least on the far side of it, away from Stott. He managed to foul off the two of those pitches that entered the zone ever-so-slightly while he had two strikes, creating an opportunity for Walker to just miss completely with the ninth and final sinker, which catcher Patrick Bailey setup inside for in order to cross up Stott after all those pitches away, but it instead caught the exact middle of the plate and didn’t do much sinking, either. The result? An RBI triple and a tie game. With Stott on third and two outs, it came down to center fielder Justin Crawford to keep this game from going to extras. Whereas Stott fought and fought until he got a pitch he could drive, Crawford jumped all over the first pitch he saw: a 95.7 mph sinker in the strike zone that he was able to poke toward shortstop, slow enough that Stott could score and he made it to first to beat the throw. The Phillies struck much more aggressively and convincingly in the second game. Shortstop Trea Turner led off with a home run, then Schwarber, playing in left, notched dinger 351 with a back-to-back shot. This was no joke of a homer, either: Schwarber hit… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 mins ago - EFL final day ULTIMATE GUIDE: Everything you need to know as teams battle for pr...

Wow. Denver and Minnesota split the first two games in Denver, before the Wolves won Games 3 and 4 on their home floor. Denver was able to win Game 5 at home, but Minnesota closed things out in Game 6 in front of its home fans. Why is this such a shock? Well, the Wolves lost their starting backcourt of Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo to injuries in Game 4 and played without backup guard Ayo Dosunmu in Game 6. The Nuggets were without Peyton Watson for the entire series, and Aaron Gordon only played in three games, but Denver still had its star duo of Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray. Who Wants to Win the East?: Well, it appears the top two seeds in the conference seem unsure as to what they want to do. No. 1 Detroit is down 3-2 against No. 8 Orlando, with Game 6 set to take place on Orlando's home floor, where the Magic have yet to lose to the Pistons in this series. The last time an 8-seed beat a 1-seed in the playoffs was in 2023, when Miami beat Milwaukee en route to an unlikely NBA Finals berth out of the play-in tournament. As for the second-seeded Celtics,… [TheTopNews] Read More.26 mins ago
- Alex Palou Signs Multi-Year Contract Extension With Chip Ganassi RacingSince joining Chip Ganassi Racing six seasons ago, Spanish driver Àlex Palou has shown to be a generational talent who is quickly working his way through INDYCAR'S record books. For that, Palou has earned a multi-year contract extension on his current deal that runs through the 2027 season. The extension was finalized following this week's two-day Indianapolis 500 test. Ganassi never publicly discloses contract terms. The reward capped a celebratory week for Palou, who drove into Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the defending Indy 500 winner for testing and saw a larger-than-life banner of himself chugging the traditional winner’s milk. It’s the main banner as you enter the speedway — key placement he’d seen reserved for rival drivers the previous six years. "I took a picture when I was driving by and sent it to my parents," Palou said. Palou has won four INDYCAR championships in five years, including the last three consecutive titles. He won eight times last season, including the 500, as he's blossomed in INDYCAR since joining Ganassi in 2021. Ahead of the Long Beach Grand Prix two weeks ago, former Indy 500 winner Alexander Rossi was asked if anything had surprised him through the first quarter of the season. His response was immediate: "Yeah, that Alex has only won two races. And isn’t the points leader." Palou responded by winning Long Beach to give him three wins through five races this year and reclaim the top spot in the championship standings. "It’s incredible, actually amazing," said rival driver Will Power, a two-time INDYCAR champion and Indianapolis 500 winner. "It’s something I’ve been thinking about the last week or so because, once again, he’s gone out and won three out of five races. I mean [Kyle] Kirkwood's average finish is like three-point-something, and he’s not leading the championship, which is insane. "So it’s something I’m absolutely, like, how is he doing that week in, week out? Well, it’s one, he’s qualifying well. Two is he executes in the race and three is the pit stops, you know, top-notch, there’s no mistakes in there. And he’s fast. So that’s what it takes when you’re driving out there." His 22 career victories through 103 starts ranks fifth in 121 years of INDYCAR history. Sebastien Bourdais won 31 times in that span in the diluted Champ Car era; A.J. Foyt won 30, Mario Andretti 27 and Ralph DePalma 26. Palou’s four… [TheTopNews] Read More.34 mins ago
