Well, Friday night, the Yankees opened a big series in Boston and New York won it 4-1, as Aaron Judge hit No. 47, a 468-foot bomb and career home run No. 362 to pass Joe DiMaggio on the all-time Yankees list*, while Luis Gil pitched six no-hit innings before being removed, having thrown 93 pitches as he is clearly rounding into form, just in time for the playoffs.
*Ruth 659, Mantle 536, Gehrig 493.
Houston, Texas and Cleveland all won, as did Seattle, and in the AL West we had this….
Houston 80-68….–
Seattle 80-68…–
Texas 78-70…2
Texas was in New York to face the Mets, who are in the midst of a historic collapse, having lost six straight, scoring four or fewer runs in each after having the best offense in baseball for the month of August.
The Mets sent rookie Jonah Tong to the mound and let’s just say his third major-league start was rather hideous…2/3 of an inning, 4 hits, 3 walks, 6 runs, and the Mets would lose their seventh straight, 8-3, to old teammate Jacob deGrom, who threw 7 innings, 3 runs, record now 12-7, 2.82.
Making things worse for the Mets…giving up six runs in the top of the first…was what had transpired the night before in Philadelphia as they tried to avoid a 4-game sweep.
New York scored four runs on five hits in the top of the first, and then was no-hit the rest of the way by Jesus Lozardo and Jhoan Duran…24 straight Mets retired to end the game, a 6-4 loss.
The Mets had the best record in baseball on June 12, 45-24. Remember that? They’ve gone 31-48 since, a rather large sample size.
Meanwhile, the Giants beat the Dodgers in San Francisco, 5-1, to move to within a ½-game of the Mets, as Patrick Bailey hit a walk-off, game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the tenth off Tanner Scott.
The Reds remained 1 ½ back in the wild card chase, falling to the A’s in Sacramento, 3-0.
Also Friday, the Phillies beat the Royals 8-2, as Walker Buehler made his first start for Philadelphia and it was a good one, 5 innings, one run.
But the big news in baseball was what happened in Detroit, as the Tigers were falling to the Marlins, 8-2.
Detroit’s Cy Young Award winner, Tarik Skubal, left the game in the fourth after yielding 4 earned, grabbing his left side, the team saying he was “experiencing tightness…and is currently under evaluation.”
This would be a massive blow to Detroit’s pennant hopes, Skubal 13-5, 2.26, and odds-on favorite to win another Cy Young Award. All of Detroit was on pins and needles, awaiting an MRI.
And Saturday, Tigers fans got the best news possible…no structural damage.
“It’s all good news. The scan came back clean,” said manager A.J. Hinch. If he misses a start, by more than a few days, that would be a surprise.
–Back to the Yankees, they announced that slumping shortstop Anthony Volpe, who is batting .125 with 29 strikeouts in his past 21 games, has been playing with a partially torn labrum since May 3, but he remained in the lineup all summer. He is not expected, however, to go on the injury list.
Volpe, who has received a ton of criticism on the New York sports airwaves (for good reason), is batting .206 with a .268 on-base percentage, and his fielding has been rather awful. But he’s basically been in the lineup every day, except the past few weeks.
—On to Saturday’s action….
The Yankees sent Max Fried to the mound against the Red Sox’ Brayan Bello, a good matchup, and New York won it 5-3, Fried going 5 1/3, 2 runs, to move to 17-5, 3.03.
The Yankees are now 2 ½ in front of Boston (and Houston) in the wild card race, but remain 3 back of Toronto in the A.L. East, the Blue Jays winning their first two in Baltimore this weekend.
But the other New York team, the Mets, suffered yet another devastating loss to the Rangers, 3-2, Edwin Diaz taking the loss.
The Mets had a 2-0 lead after seven, the second run on a Juan Soto home run, his 40th, and coupled with his 32 steals, the first Met with a 40-30 season. And just the third player with 40 homers, 30 steals, and 100 walks in a season in MLB history, next to Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell, who each did it twice.
But the Mets kept making huge mistakes, such as in the bottom of the sixth, Brett Baty getting picked off second, when it was first and second no outs.
And a critical catcher’s interference in the top of the eighth committed by Francisco Alvarez to lead off the inning that eventually led to Texas tying it at 2-2. Diaz then proceeded to give up the wining run in the ninth.
The Mets were 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. And they wasted six scoreless innings from rookie Brandon Sproat, just his second major league start.
But, thankfully, the Giants lost to the Dodgers 13-7, while the Reds were falling to the A’s, 11-5, as Nick Kurtz hit a 493-foot grand slam homer in the eighth to seal it for Sacramento. Yes, that’s the longest homer in baseball this season. Go Deacs!
So the Mets remained a ½-game in front of the Giants, 1 ½ over the Reds.
Meanwhile, in the AL West, Seattle, Houston and Texas all won again.
—And then today, with the Yankees-Red Sox the Sunday night ESPN game, what a game we had at Citi Field, another like Saturday’s Mets-Rangers contest…2-2 after eight, with Juan Soto 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position, Diaz on the mound in the top of the ninth…and somehow he gets out of a runner on third, one out situation.
It’s on to extra innings, and Ryne Stanek, who has had a pretty awful season in relief for the Mets, leaves the ‘free runner’ stranded, we go to the bottom of the tenth, and Pete Alonso, homerless his last 44 at-bats, drills one over the right-field wall for a 3-run homer, Mets win 5-2 and finally snap the streak.
Mets rookie Nolan McLean threw six scoreless, like Brandon Sproat the day before, McLean’s ERA 1.19 in six starts.
Man, we needed someone to change the mojo, and Alonso (and Stanek) did it.
So, for at least one more day, the Mets still have the final wild card slot…the Giants and Reds playing late this afternoon, while the Diamondbacks, who started the day only 2 games out, beat the Twins 6-4.
College Football
Once again, there were lots of mismatches that aren’t worth mentioning, but as editor I get to pick and choose, and we did have some terrific battles that would impact the Top 25.
—In the noon hour, we had a biggie in Atlanta, 12 Clemson at Georgia Tech, and the Yellow Jackets severely wounded the Tigers’ hopes of a College Playoff appearance, 24-21 on a 55-yard field goal as time expired by Aidan Birr…a crushing loss for Dabo Swinney’s boys; Clemson now 1-2, Tech 3-0.
It’s not that Clemson played that poorly, they just clearly aren’t the team Dabo talked up in the preseason, and even last week.
On the other side, Georgia Tech QB Haynes King, 19/27, 216, 0-0, through the air, but 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown, is simply a terrific “college football player.”
Is Haynes King going to play in the NFL? Maybe not, but to me he is like Tim Tebow. Whatever it takes…that’s King.
Clemson now has to win the ACC title to make the playoffs.
Meanwhile, in other games of note….
—No. 1 Ohio State beat Ohio 37-9.
—2 Penn State whipped Villanova 52-6, the Wildcats picking up at least $500,000 for their athletic department.
—3 LSU beat Florida 20-10, picking off the Gators’ DJ Lagway five times!
—4 Oregon had a solid road win at Northwestern, 34-14, though the Wildcats beat the spread of 27.5 points, and at the end of the day. [Though as we see below, talking point spreads and more is a rather uncomfortable topic in college sports these days.]
–In a big early-season SEC tussle, 6 Georgia beat 15 Tennessee in Knoxville before 101,915 fans in Neyland Stadium, 44-41 in overtime.
For starters, Tennessee’s Max Gilbert missed a 43-yard field goal at the end of regulation that would have won it for the Vols.
Which was unfortunate, because Tennessee’s Joey Aguilar had an electric performance, 24/36, 371, 4-2, as Chris Brazzell II had six catches for 177 yards and three touchdowns.
The Vols are legitimate contenders.
As for Georgia, they now have some playoff wiggle room when Alabama comes to Athens in a few weeks.
–In another biggie, 5 Miami blasted 18 South Florida 49-12, the Hurricanes’ Mark Fletcher Jr. with 121 yards on 16 carries and three scores.
—Arch Manning was booed heavily in the first half, missing 10 passes in a row at one point, but 7 Texas prevailed over UTEP 27-10, Manning just 11/25, 114, 1-1, but 51 yards rushing with two TDs.
—8 Notre Dame had an early-season must win game against 16 Texas A&M at home, following a 27-24 loss to Miami in Week One, and the Fighting Irish fell short, in crushing fashion, 41-40.
Notre Dame had taken a 40-34 lead with 2:53 to play on a 12-yard Jeremiyah Love touchdown run, but on the extra-point attempt, holder Tyler Buchner bobbled the snap, resulting in a failed conversion. That meant A&M could take the lead with a touchdown and extra-point.
A&M then drove the ball 74 yards in 13 plays, converting a fourth-and-goal from the 11 for the winning TD with 13 seconds left. Earlier in the drive, Reed converted a third-and-8 at the Notre Dame 23-yard line by scrambling for a 9-yard gain to the Irish 14-yard line, extending the drive. Notre Dame also committed a costly holding penalty on the drive.
Aggies QB Marcell Reed was 17 of 37 passing, but made big play after big play, including the game-wining TD to tight end Nate Boerkircher. Receiver Mario Craver had 207 yards and a score for A&M.
—11 South Carolina fell to Vanderbilt, 31-7, in Columbia. The Commodores are 3-0 for the first time since 2017 and it was their first road win against a ranked opponent since stunning South Carolina in 2007.
The Gamecocks lost star QB LaNorris Sellers to a concussion in the first half.
—14 Iowa State beat Arkansas State, the Red Wolves having been blown out earlier by Arkansas 56-16.
—17 Ole Miss had an important SEC win over Arkansas 41-35.
—19 Alabama (2-1) had an important road win at Wisconsin (2-1), 38-14, as quarterback Tim Simpson was terrific, 24/29, 382, 4-0, while Ryan Williams caught five for 165 yards and two TDs.
—22 Indiana beat Indiana State 73-0 on Friday night, which I only mention because of some gaudy stats…quarterback Fernando Mendoza (a Cal transfer) 19/20, 270, 5-0, with receiver Omar Cooper catching 10 for 207 yards and four scores.
—In other games the editor opted to note….
Wake Forest took on North Carolina State at home Thursday night, getting the national stage for college football, and Wake’s Chris Barnes took the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, 7-0.
The Deacs then went 93 yards for a second TD, including a 70-yard pass play from Robby Ashford to Barnes, 14-0.
All good.
But State drove it 75 yards behind quarterback CJ Bailey, and then Ashford threw an atrocious pick-six to Isaiah Shirley who rumbled 41 yards for the score, 14-14.
Wake would bounce back to get it to 24-14, though it was 24-17 at the half, and that’s where any positive mojo for the Deacs ended as they generated a pathetic 44 yards of offense after the intermission, falling 34-24.
N.C. State’s Bailey was good, 23/32, 201, 3-0, while running back Hollywood Smothers carried it 24 times for 164 yards, this as Wake’s star RB, Demond Claiborne, had 35 yards rushing and a useless 33 receiving.
So the Deacs now get a long rest (including a bye week) to prepare for Georgia Tech, though at least thankfully at home.
—Friday, Houston beat Colorado, 36-20, Deion’s team 1-2.
—Saturday, Rutgers whipped Norfolk State 60-10, the Scarlet Knights 3-0, but they haven’t faced anyone.
Boston College suffered an awful loss at Stanford, 30-20, committing three turnovers, while Micah Ford had 157 yards rushing on 17 carries and a score for the Cardinal.
And West Virginia had an exciting 31-24 overtime win over Pitt in Morgantown in their annual Backyard Brawl, a series that this week was extended to 2036.
–Today, UCLA fired coach DeShaun Foster after the Bruins started 0-3, including a 35-10 loss to New Mexico Saturday.
Foster was 5-7 last season, after UCLA under Chip Kelly had gone 8-5, 9-4, 8-5 the prior three campaigns.
And Virginia Tech fired Brent Pry, 0-3 this season, 16-24 in his tenure. You can’t lose 45-26 at home to Old Dominion, as the Hokies did Saturday.
—And now the new AP Poll!
- Ohio State 3-0 (55 first-place votes)
2. Penn State 3-0 (5)

Bye-bye South Carolina, South Florida and Clemson.
NFL
—Thursday night, the Packers put away the Commanders in Green Bay, 27-18, as Jordan Love was 19/31, 292, 2-0, 113.9, tight end Tucker Kraft catching six for 124 yards and a TD.
For Washington, Jayden Daniels was very ordinary, 24/42, 200, 2-0, 85.4, with the Commanders rushing for just 51 yards on 19 carries.
Yes, the Packer defense is good, and new addition Micah Parsons is just getting started, 3 quarterback hits, a ½ sack. He’s only going to get better from here.
—San Francisco was facing the Saints in New Orleans this afternoon, missing two huge pieces. Quarterback Brock Purdy is out for up to five weeks with a variant of turf toe, though as the week progressed, coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy was a “long shot” to suit up, Mac Jones slated to get the start.
And tight end George Kittle was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, sidelining him for at least four games.
But the 49ers went to 2-0, Mac Jones leading the way, 26-21 over the Saints (0-2) in New Orleans.
–The Jets, who got such a terrific performance in Week One from QB Justin Fields vs. the Steelers in their 34-32 loss, got the opposite from Fields today, 3 of 11, 25 yards, before exiting with a probable concussion, the Jets getting blown out at home by the Bills (2-0) 30-10.
Buffalo got little from Josh Allen, but James Cook rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jets ended up with 154 yards of total offense.
—I was flipping bigly between the Mets game and Jets, and then later the Giants, and in a spectacular finish for Giants-Cowboys in Dallas, Russell Wilson came up huge…until he didn’t.
Wilson, who all New York area sports fans know, was making his last start before rookie Jaxson Dart was handed the reins, had a monster first half, 17/20, 235, the Giants up 13-10, and then with 2:44 left in the game, Wilson hit Wan’Dale Robinson on a 32-yard TD pass, 30-27.
But the Cowboy’s Dak Prescott quickly went 71 yards, hitting George Pickens for a 6-yard TD score, 34-30.
There were 52 seconds left for Wilson and the Giants. And Russell, in three plays, did it…a 48-yard scoring strike to Malik Nabers, which put the Giants up 37-34…25 seconds remaining.
But Dallas has kicker Brandon Aubrey, the best long-distance kicker in NFL history, and Prescott only needed to go 21 yards, setting up Aubrey for a tying 64-yard field goal!
In overtime, Wilson throwing a huge interception, Dallas maneuvered into position for Aubrey to boot a 42-yarder as time expired…the Cowboys with a terrific 40-37 win, devastating for the Giants, but at least giving their fans some hope Wilson and the deep passing game can keep them interesting until they decide to go with Dart.
Wilson finished 30/41, 450, 3-1, with Nabers 9-167-2 and Robinson 8-142-1.
Dak Prescott went 38/52, 361, 2-1.
—A few more from the early games….
The Lions rebounded from their opening week loss to the Packers, 52-31 over the Bears, Jared Goff with five touchdown passes.
The Bengals lost Joe Burrow to a left toe injury early, but Jake Browning threw for 241 yards (as well as three interceptions), with a quarterback sneak for a touchdown, 18 seconds remaining, Cincinnati pulling it out 31-27 over the Jaguars.
And Mike McDaniel’s days in Miami are down to a precious few, the Dolphins falling to the Patriots 33-27.
Golf Balls
This week’s Fall Season event at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California, the Procore Championship, had some big-time buzz because ten U.S. Ryder Cup players used it as a tune-up for Bethpage in two weeks, all ten making the cut.
And after three rounds it was Ryder Cupper Ben Griffin on top….
Griffin -16
Jackson Koivun (A) -15
Scottie Scheffler -14…after a third-round 64.
Yes, that’s 20-year-old Koivun, a junior at Auburn, who had earned his PGA Tour card but opted to spend one more year in college, having already led the U.S. Walker Cup team to victory the other week.
Koivun was also playing in his seventh PGA Tour event this year, having already had two top-tens.
—As for the final round, it isn’t wrapping up until much later for moi, who needs to move on with his day…but after four holes, Griffin was at -18, Scheffler and Koivun -15.
I’ll cover the finish in my Add-on as I will be tuning in shortly.
College Basketball
—The sport is in a bit of trouble, having to do with gambling, and let’s hope we don’t get many more headlines like we had this week.
Three Division I men’s players had their eligibility permanently revoked after the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions discovered they participated in gambling, including betting on their own games and “manipulating” their performances to alter outcomes, according to a statement released by the NCAA Wednesday.
The three players – Steve Vasquez, Jalen Weaver and Mykell Robinson – all played at Fresno State at one point in their careers. In February, the Fresno Bee reported that Weaver had been held out of games due to an investigation into gambling. That followed news that Robinson, who hadn’t played since a Jan. 11 loss to Nevada, was also missing in action. In late February, Vasquez, who’d transferred from Fresno, was removed from San Jose State’s online roster.
During the 2023-24 season Robinson and Vasquez were roommates at Fresno State. According to the NCAA, in January 2025, Robinson texted Vasquez, who was then at San Jose State, about his plan to “underperform in several statistical categories” during a regular-season game. Three individuals – Robinson, Vasquez and a third party – bet a combined $2,200 on Robinson for his underperformance, winning a combined $15,900.
Additionally, Robinson placed 13 daily fantasy prop bets on parlays that again included his own performance, and he netted $618 on one occasion. [The Athletic]
Then we learned 13 men’s college basketball players from six schools were involved in gambling schemes, including betting against their own team, game manipulation and sharing information with third parties for gambling purposes, the NCAA announced Thursday.
Players formerly associated with Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State are under investigation for gambling violations, according to the NCAA, which declined to name the athletes until the infractions process has concluded.
None of the players are currently enrolled at the schools where the infractions occurred, according to the NCAA.
“The rise of sports betting is creating more opportunity for athletes across sports to engage in this unacceptable behavior, and while legalized sports betting is here to stay, regulators and gaming companies can do more to reduce these integrity risks by eliminating prop bets and giving sports leagues a seat at the table when setting policies,” NCAA president Charlie Baker said in a release.
Baker is 100 percent right. There should be no prop bets on college sports…period.
Meanwhile, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is investigating a gambling ring with ties to the NBA betting scandal involving former player Jontay Porter, according to multiple sources.
The risks to college basketball are immense.
NBA
—Commissioner Adam Silver, for the first time publicly addressed allegations that the Los Angeles Clippers circumvented the salary cap and facilitated a $28 million “no-show” endorsement deal for star Kawhi Leonard, saying the claims caught him off guard.
“It was news to me,” Silver said Wednesday. “Frankly, I had never heard of the company Aspiration before, and I’d never heard a whiff of anything around an endorsement deal with Kawhi or anything around an engagement with the Los Angeles Clippers, so it was all new to me.”
At the center of the allegations is a four-year, $28 million contract Leonard signed to market and endorse a now-bankrupt “green” financial services company called Aspiration, which had previously received a significant investment from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer.
Silver spoke to reporters Wednesday after the conclusion of a Board of Governors meeting, where other ownership groups had the opportunity to question Ballmer in a closed-door setting.
Silver characterized the comments other stakeholders made to him as “a reservation of judgment.”
The NBA has contracted a New York-based law firm to lead the inquiry.
If the Clippers are found to have circumvented the salary cap, the penalties could be steep.
According to Article XIII of the collective bargaining agreement, the league could “impose a fine of up to” $4.5 million for a first-time violation. A second violation could trigger a $5.5 million fine and a forfeiture of a first-round draft pick.
There are other potential penalties as well.
Silver said, “My powers are very broad.”
Premier League
—Saturday, Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0; Tottenham had a 3-0 road win at West Ham; and Chelsea and Brentford played to a 2-2 draw.
Sunday, Liverpool edged Burnley 1-0 on the road; while Manchester City won its derby against Manchester United, 3-0.
After just four games, the only unblemished team is Liverpool.
Stuff
–Christopher Bell won Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, the third straight win for Joe Gibbs Racing in the playoff series (teammates Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin with the other victories). It was Bell’s fourth win of the season.
The race also marked the end of the playoffs for Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon, Shane van Gisbergen, and Josh Berry as the field is reduced to 12.
–At the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, they crowned two new global 100m champions today…America’s Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Jamaica’s Oblique Seville claimed stunning breakthrough victories.
Jefferson-Wooden, 24, proved a class above her rivals in a championship record 10.61 seconds. Jamaica’s Tina Clayton took silver and St. Lucia’s historic Olympic champion Julien Alfred took bronze.
Less than 10 minutes later, Seville, also 24, became the first Jamaican man to win a global 100m title since Usain Bolt, who was watching in the stands.
Winning in a personal best time of 9.77, Seville led a Jamaican one-two ahead of Kishane Thompson as American defending champion Noah Lyles was forced to settle for bronze.
Valerie Allman of the U.S. won the women’s discuss, while fellow American and Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodall won the women’s long jump.
I did watch the men’s 10,000m live today…I love this race (and the 5,000)…and Jimmy Gressier of France won it…exciting finish, as it usually is.
—Terence Crawford became the undisputed super middleweight champion Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas by defeating Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez in a unanimous decision…the judges scoring it 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113, though many who saw the bout said it wasn’t even that close.
Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) became the first male boxer in the four-belt era to be undisputed champ in three weight classes. And he did it in style in front of an announced crowd of 70,482 – most of whom were Alvarez fans. Millions more streamed the fight live on Netflix.
Crawford, who turns 38 in two weeks, made the audacious jump from 154 pounds to 168 pounds to dethrone boxing’s biggest star, Alvarez now 63-3-2, 39 KOs. The expectation had been that Alvarez’s power and strength would overwhelm Crawford.
–British boxing fans are in mourning with word the popular Ricky Hatton had died at the age of 46; Hatton a former world champion as a light-welterweight and welterweight, with 43 consecutive wins before late losses to Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao and Vyacheslav Senchenko.
Hatton has been very open in retirement about battles with depression, mental-health issues, alcohol and drugs, but he had been in training for a scheduled comeback as a middleweight in Dubai in December.
Hatton was a huge Man City fan and they had a tribute to him before the Man U game.
