Cubs erupt for 19-2 rout of Mariners on West Coast trip

The Chicago Cubs hammered the Seattle Mariners in a 19-2 blowout after falling behind 2-0, sparked by Ian Happ’s third-inning grand slam. Seattle’s early lead was erased as Cubs reliever Aaron Civale delivered four scoreless innings following an early exit for Shota Imanaga. Contributions came from Pete Crow-Armstrong and PCA with RBI hits, and Pedro Ramirez added a second grand slam in the late innings to cap the rout, helping Chicago push through the West Coast trip with hopes of catching the Brewers in the division race.

Durbin's Grand Slam, Abreu's Two-Homer Night Spark Red Sox 14-2 Rout of White Sox

Caleb Durbin hit his first major-league grand slam and Jarren Duran followed with a homer as the Red Sox exploded for six runs in the first inning and rolled to a 14-2 win over the White Sox at Fenway. Wilyer Abreu added two homers, and the offense padded the lead with a six-run sixth as Boston extended its hot stretch (24 wins in 27 games) and improved to 61-51. Patrick Sandoval earned his first major-league victory since May 7, 2024 in his return from Tommy John surgery, while Erik Miller debuted after being acquired at the trade deadline. Adley Rutschman joined the club, and Boston heads into the next game with Sonny Gray vs. Sean Burke on the docket. The win highlighted Boston’s continued home-heavy surge and multiple offensive milestones for the night.

Gray’s pregame hunch fuels Clemens’ walk-off slam, Twins top Royals

Tristan Gray’s pregame prediction proved true when Kody Clemens lined a hanging slider for a walk-off grand slam off Matt Strahm, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. It gave the Twins their second walk-off victory in three days and pulled them back to the .500 mark, despite a late-game rally from Kansas City and a rough six-inning stretch against Noah Cameron. The win occurred as Minnesota dealt with Byron Buxton’s right-hip injury and Joe Ryan’s continued struggles, with Cole Sands later announced to be out for the season after elbow surgery.

Sinner Clinches Wimbledon Title Defense in Thriller Over Zverev

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 to defend his Wimbledon title, earning back-to-back championships at the All England Club and his fifth Grand Slam title, after Zverev battled a knee issue stemming from a grass-slip. Sinner overcame a tight first set, closed out on championship point, and extends his dominance over Zverev (10 straight wins). The victory comes in the wake of Sinner’s Paris meltdown earlier in the year, while Zverev’s run will lift him to No. 2 in the rankings as Carlos Alcaraz misses Wimbledon with a wrist injury.
