J.P. Crawford hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning to give the Seattle Mariners a 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Dominic Canzone led off the ninth with a single off closer Robert Garcia (1-6), bringing Crawford to the plate. On the third pitch Crawford saw, he sent a 95 mph fastball into the seats in right. Seattle gained another game on AL West-leading Houston and firmed its grip on the third wild-card spot by two games over the Rangers. Rowdy Tellez, Josh Smith and Marcus Semien had RBI hits in the third to give Texas a 3-1 lead. Seattle newcomer Josh Naylor had an opposite-field double in the fifth to cut it to 3-2.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle had a hard time describing what had just taken place after he delivered the crowning blow in perhaps the wildest game of the major league season. Doyle hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap Colorado’s stunning comeback from a nine-run deficit in a 17-16 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Colorado won despite allowing nine runs in the first inning. Elias Sports Bureau and MLB.com said this was the first time since 2006 that a team won a game after allowing nine runs in the first inning.
Shea Langeliers hit a two-run homer in a four-run first inning and the Athletics beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1. Brent Rooker had a sacrifice fly, Langeliers followed with his 19th home run and Carlos Cortez added a two-out RBI single as the A’s built a 4-0 lead against Anthony DeSclafani. Rooker singled and scored on Tyler Soderstrom’s second double of the game to make it 5-0 in the fourth. Jacob Lopez (4-6) gave up five hits in five scoreless innings for the Athletics, who have won three straight and seven of their last eight. Luis Morales allowed a run in two innings in his major league debut. Elvis Alvarado and Sean Newcomb each pitched a scoreless inning to close it out. Langeliers led the way with three of the Athletics’ 11 hits.
Andrew Benintendi had a double and a home run, Lenyn Sosa also homered among his two hits, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3. White Sox starter Shane Smith gave up two runs and two hits while striking out four over 4 1/3 innings in his first start since July 11 following a stint on the 15-day IL. Jordan Leasure (4-6) earned the win in relief, striking out four in 1 2/3 innings. Colson Montgomery and Josh Rojas also hit solo homers for the White Sox. Gustavo Campero homered for the Angels, and Tyler Anderson (2-7) took the loss.
Brenton Doyle hit a walkoff, two-run homer in a five-run ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies overcame a nine-run first-inning deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 17-16 on Friday night. The Rockies are the sixth team in major league history to win after surrendering nine first-inning runs according to Elias Sports Bureau. Cleveland was the last to do it in 2006. Colorado trailed 16-12 before rallying off Dennis Santana (3-3). Hunter Goodman hit his 20th homer with one out. Jordan Beck walked and scored on rookie Warming Bernabel’s first triple. Thairo Estrada had an RBI single, and Doyle hit his eighth home run with one out to win it.
Jeannie Seely, the soulful country music singer known for hits like “Don’t Touch Me,” has died at 85. Her publicist says she died Friday from complications of an intestinal infection. Known as “Miss Country Soul,” Seely was a trailblazer for women in country music, celebrated for her spirited nonconformity and hits in the ‘60s and ’70s. She was hospitalized in May after multiple surgeries and a bout of pneumonia. Seely never stopped working in country music. Since 2018, she’s hosted the weekly “Sunday’s with Seely” on Willie Nelson’s SiriusXM channel. She appeared nearly 5,400 times at Grand Ole Opry, which will dedicate its Saturday show to her.
The Smithsonian’s removal of a reference to the 2019 and 2021 impeachments of President Donald Trump from a panel in an exhibition about the American presidency comes in the wake of Trump administration actions like removing the name of a gay rights activist from a Navy ship, pushing for Republican supporters in Congress to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and getting rid of the leadership at the Kennedy Center. A Smithsonian spokesperson said the removal of the reference, which had been installed as a temporary addition in 2021, came after a review of “legacy content recently” and said the exhibit eventually “will include all impeachments.”
Nick Pivetta gave up one hit and one run in seven innings, Jackson Merrill drove in two runs, and the San Diego Padres won their sixth game in a row, 4-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals. Pivetta (11-3) struck out five and did not give up a walk. His only blemish was a solo homer by Willson Contreras in the fifth that gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. San Diego answered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth in large part to two errors that led to three unearned runs and Merrill’s two-run single.
Under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has executed more people so far this year than any other state, setting a new state record. Across the country, more people have been executed in the first seven months of this year than in all of 2024. Florida’s increase is putting the country on track to surpass 2015’s total of 28 executions. Little is publicly known about how the governor decides whose death warrant to sign and when. DeSantis has said he takes capital cases “very seriously” and that for some crimes, “the only appropriate punishment is the death penalty.”
America’s rural high school students are less likely to go to college than their urban and suburban peers. Students in the most sparsely populated regions often face obstacles to attending college, including having to travel far to get to campus, a lack of public transportation, and inconsistent broadband access that limits access to online courses and financial aid. Family dynamics also often factor in, including a lack of exposure to college because parents didn’t attend and an underlying doubt about the value of a college degree and curriculum. Some colleges have stepped up efforts to recruit rural students.
President Donald Trump’s economic policies are facing scrutiny as weak indicators emerge. Job gains are dwindling, inflation is rising and growth has slowed compared to last year. More than six months into his term, Trump’s tariffs and tax changes have reshaped the economy. On Friday, a bleak jobs report showed a decline in manufacturing jobs, and Trump fired the head of the agency responsible for the data. Critics warn that Trump’s aggressive use of tariffs and tax changes could backfire. The White House, however, remains optimistic, claiming the best is yet to come.
Federal immigration agents detained a Tunisian man in Southern California who had a pending green card application. Rami Othmane is a professional musician who is married to a U.S. citizen and doctor. Othmane was arrested July 13 and detained in downtown Los Angeles for several days before being transferred to Arizona. His wife, Wafa Alrashid, says her husband was held in “dehumanizing” conditions. The Los Angeles region has been subject to an aggressive immigration crackdown that has even ensnared some U.S. citizens and residents in the country legally. Many asylum-seekers and other immigrants have been arrested while attending regular check-ins with immigration.
Harrison Bader and Jhoan Duran have joined the Phillies, adding depth as the team chases a pennant. Bader, a strong defender and 2021 Gold Glove winner, will platoon in center field with Brandon Marsh. Duran, known for his 100.2 mph fastball, is set as the closer. He has 16 saves and a 2.01 ERA this season. Phillies manager Rob Thomson plans a double-platoon in the outfield. The Phillies are facing alternating right- and left-handed pitchers over the next six games. Duran’s addition strengthens a bullpen that includes Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering.
Authorities are searching for the man wanted for the murder of four family members in Tennessee. They found a car they believe Austin Robert Drummond was living in and offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation believes Drummond, who had a relationship with the family, is still in the area and armed. Authorities said he left an infant, related to the victims, in a front yard. Drummond faces charges including four counts of first-degree murder. His criminal history includes robbery and gang activity. The investigation began after the infant was found Tuesday.
Carlos Correa has returned to the Houston Astros. Correa was a beloved player during his first stint with the Astros, helping them win their first World Series. With the Twins struggling in the standings, he waived his no-trade clause to return to Houston. The Twins got minor-league pitcher Matt Mikulski. The also acquired outfielder Jesús Sánchez at Thursday’s trade deadline. He was in the lineup Friday night batting third. Correa was at third base and batting cleanup.

STURGIS, SD – The opening ceremonies of the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally were held yesterday at Harley Davidson Rally Point,
A full-fledged meet and greet was the first order of business for the Minnesota Twins upon their arrival at the ballpark. Making nine trades and jettisoning nearly 40% of their team before the deadline the previous day meant there were plenty of new faces in the clubhouse when the Twins began their three-game road series against the Cleveland Guardians. Minnesota’s sell-off included standout shortstop Carlos Correa, closer Jhoan Duran and four high-leverage relievers who were several years away from free agency, including St. Paul native Louis Varland. Just two years ago, the Twins won the American League Central Division title and advanced to the division series.
Pitchers Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers and outfielder Cedric Mullins jumped into a pennant race when they joined the National League-East leading New York Mets in search of the franchise’s first championship since 1986. The Mets, who fell to the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in last year’s NLCS, entered Friday with a half-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Democrats are arguing that a Republican plan for redrawing districts in Texas to create more winnable U.S. House seats for the GOP is an attack on Black and Hispanic voters. They also said Friday that the plan violates the landmark federal Voting Rights Act and is a power grab by President Donald Trump. The plan’s Republican author acknowledged during a state House committee hearing that his proposed map is designed to help the GOP pick up five seats in Texas, and that’s what Trump is seeking. Democrats have few options for thwarting the Republican plan during a 30-day special session. Calls for offsetting efforts in Democratic states intensified among Democrats outside Texas.
Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has been fired after releasing a jobs report that angered President Donald Trump. Trump announced her dismissal on his Truth Social platform, accusing her of manipulating numbers without providing evidence. McEntarfer, appointed by President Joe Biden, had served as BLS head for a year and a half. Her firing has been criticized by former colleagues and associates, who describe her as nonpolitical and respected. They warn that the decision undermines the Bureau’s mission. McEntarfer has not commented on her dismissal.

A truckload of hot dogs has spilled across a Pennsylvania highway after a crash, clogging the road toward the end of the morning rush hour. The wreck took place on Interstate 83 a few miles north of the Maryland line Friday. It briefly clogged the heavily traveled artery in both directions. Crews were stuck with a job they didn’t relish — rolling up the scattered tube steaks for disposal. State police said the tractor trailer had an unspecified mechanical problem that caused it to push into a passenger vehicle. When the truck scraped along a concrete divider, its trailer was ripped open and the contents scattered. For people had injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Federal Reserve governor Adriana Kugler announced that she will step down next Friday, opening up a spot on the central bank’s powerful board that President Donald Trump will be able to fill. Kugler, who did not participate in the Fed’s policy meeting earlier this week, would have completed her term in January. Instead, she will retire Aug. 8. In her resignation letter, she did not provide a reason for stepping down.
Jake Retzlaff says he still loves BYU but expressed faith in his decision to start fresh at Tulane. Retzlaff is trying to move past recent reputational harm in Utah, learn a new offense and outperform three other transfer QBs at Tulane. Retzlaff led BYU to an 11-2 record last season but recently withdrew while reportedly facing a suspension for violating the university’s honor code. He’d been named in a now-dismissed civil sexual assault lawsuit. Retzlaff declined to discuss the lawsuit or discipline he faced at BYU.
The National Science Foundation can continue to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars from researchers in several states until litigation aimed at restoring it plays out. A federal judge on Friday declined to grant a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by sixteen Democrat-led states. In April, the NSF announced a new set of priorities and began axing hundreds of grants for research focused on things like misinformation and diversity, equity and inclusion. A lawyer for the NSF said at the hearing that the agency has the authority to fund whatever research it deems necessary.
The Washington Commanders’ plan to return to the site of their former home at RFK Stadium has cleared another significant hurdle. The District of Columbia Council approved legislation on Friday, but it still needs a second approval before reaching Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Commanders, currently playing in Maryland, aim to open a new venue by 2030. The ownership group has been exploring locations in Washington, Maryland and Virginia since buying the team in 2022. Congress transferred the RFK Stadium land to the city in January, paving the way for redevelopment.
The commanding courtroom presence of U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III was evident in numerous high-profile trials. He died Wednesday after a long illness at the age of 85. His judicial career lasted more than 35 years and included the trials of former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and former U.S. Rep. William “Dollar Bill” Jefferson, as well as the plea deal of “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh. His acerbic wit sometimes drew muted complaints at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, but his legal reasoning was unquestioned.
Flaco Jimenez, the legendary accordionist from San Antonio who won multiple Grammys and helped expand the popularity of conjunto, Tejano and Tex-Mex music, has died. He was 86. Jimenez’s death was announced Thursday evening by his family on social media. His family said he was “surrounded by his loved ones and will be missed immensely.” His family did not disclose a cause of death. Jimenez had been hospitalized in January. His career achievements included five Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015. He helped popularize conjunto music, which originated in South Texas and blends different genres and cultural influences.

The Friendly Confines are set to host The Midsummer Classic. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that the 2027 All-Star Game will be held at Wrigley Field. The announcement came during a news conference at home plate with Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts, Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. Baseball’s second-oldest ballpark hasn’t hosted an All-Star game since 1990. Manfred cited the “amazing transformation” of the ballpark and surrounding streets in the past decade as part of a massive renovation by the Ricketts family. He also downplayed his recent confrontation with Phillies star Bryce Harper over the looming labor battle between the league and its players.
The Gaudreau Family 5K Walk/Run has raised more than $500,000 to build an accessible playground at Archbishop Damiano School in southern New Jersey. The event in May drew thousands, with more than 1,100 participants in person and virtually. The playground honors hockey players John and Matt Gaudreau, who were killed by a suspected drunk driver last August. Their mother and sister work at the school, where their grandmother also worked for 44 years. The playground will feature wheelchair accessibility and ramps. Groundbreaking is set for late August or early September, with the next 5K planned for May 2026.
Several hundred fans turned out to name a tiny street in San Francisco after celebrated Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia. The legendary musician spent part of his childhood in the modest Excelsior neighborhood. City officials say the commemorative street name honors a San Francisco son who continues to bring joy with his music. The Grateful Dead celebrates its 60th with three days of live music and festivities throughout the city. Offshoot Dead & Company will perform three shows starting Friday at Golden Gate Park. Garcia, who died in 1995, would have turned 83 on Friday.
A federal judge has agreed to temporarily block the Trump administration’s efforts to expand fast-track deportations of immigrants who legally entered the U.S. under a process known as humanitarian parole. Friday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., could benefit hundreds of thousands of people. Cobb concluded that the Department of Homeland Security exceeded its statutory authority in its effort to expand “expedited removal” for many immigrants. The judge said those immigrants are facing risks that outweigh any harm from “pressing pause” on the administration’s plans.
U.S. health officials have told more than a half-dozen of the nation’s top medical organizations that they will no longer help establish vaccination recommendations. The government told the organizations on Thursday via email that their experts are being disinvited from the workgroups that have been the backbone of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The organizations include the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Several of the organizations issued a statement asking the administration to reconsider, saying it was irresponsible to remove them from the process.
Jhoan Duran’s wife almost cried when she thought he might lose his No. 59 uniform number after being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. The number holds sentimental value for Duran, even being part of his family pool design in the Dominican Republic. Fortunately, Duran got to keep his number and wore it for the start of a series against Detroit. Phillies manager Rob Thomson, who previously wore No. 59, happily gave it up for Duran. Thomson joked that his wife might be upset since all her merchandise has 59 on it. Duran was traded to the Phillies from the Minnesota Twins.
Four people are dead in a shooting at a Montana bar as a search continues for the suspect, authorities say.
A fierce rivalry between Chicago’s North and South Siders comes to life each summer during the “Crosstown Classic,” when the Cubs and White Sox face off in their home stadiums. This unique series is loaded with team history and memories for both sets of fans, who hail from the North and South Sides respectively. Polaroids convey nostalgia, and there’s nothing that says nostalgia quite like baseball. The film format requires a level of intimacy not often seen in modern photo coverage of baseball games, when speed and instant images are prioritized.
The ATF says multiple people have been shot at a Montana business, and authorities are searching for a suspect.
Bristol Motor Speedway is ready to make history again by hosting the first Major League Baseball game in Tennessee. The stage or racetrack in this case has been set for Saturday night for the biggest crowd ever at a regular season baseball game at the MLB Speedway Classic Bristol Motor Speedway is ready to make history again by hosting the first Major League Baseball game in Tennessee. Seeing the venue on paper is one thing. What MLB has done tucking a baseball field inside the infield of the half-mile bullring at Bristol is impressive even with a Sunoco sign can be seen in one corner.
Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington believes the team’s moves at the trade deadline created flexibility going into 2026. The Pirates sent away third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes, closer David Bednar and starting pitcher Bailey Falter in exchange for prospects. Cherington says the team will use the next two months to provide opportunities for younger players and will explore adding a veteran bat through trade or free agency during the offseason. Pittsburgh is in last in the NL Central despite a strong pitching staff led by Cy Young candidate Paul Skenes.
Micah Parsons has requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys while suggesting the club has refused to negotiate a new contract for the star edge rusher. Parsons reported to training camp in California with the Cowboys last week and tried to stay upbeat in a meeting with reporters. His tone changed dramatically in a message posted on X. Parsons wrote, “I no longer want to be here.” Parsons finished the lengthy note by saying he had told executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones he wanted to be traded.
A stalemate over the pace of confirmations has delayed the Senate’s yearly August recess for now as President Donald Trump declares that his nominees “should NOT BE FORCED TO WAIT.” Democrats have slowed the confirmation process by forcing procedural votes on almost all of Trump’s picks. Caught in the middle is Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who says he will keep the Senate in session over the weekend to hold confirmation votes while also trying to negotiate a deal with Democrats. The two sides haven’t come to agreement yet and it’s unclear if Trump would be onboard with any bipartisan deal.
Rodrigo De Paul has enjoyed years of playing alongside Lionel Messi for Argentina’s national team, but the star midfielder said that for a long time, he’s dreamed of playing on the same club with his good friend. So when Messi joined Inter Miami of Major League Soccer in 2023, De Paul started paying attention. He caught MLS matches when he could and admired what Messi, co-owner David Beckham and Inter Miami were building in South Florida. Then Beckham approached De Paul with the idea of joining Inter Miami, and the 31-year-old made the choice to be a part of a league that intrigued him.
Emma Meesseman is ready to help the New York Liberty on their quest to repeat as WNBA champions. The 2019 WNBA Finals MVP will suit up for the team Friday night against the Connecticut Sun. She last played in the league in 2022. Her arrival is a boost for the squad that is without Breanna Stewart for a few weeks while she recovers from a bone bruise in her right knee. New York also is without Nyara Sabally because of a knee injury and Kennedy Burke because of a right calf strain.
Maybe the magnitude of the accomplishment will hit Sterling Sharpe when he walks on stage Saturday and sees his bronze bust that will be displayed permanently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The former Green Bay Packers star wide receiver will be enshrined along with cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen and tight end Antonio Gates as members of the Class of 2025. But Sharpe hasn’t been able to celebrate the honor fully because he’s been dealing with problems in his right eye. He was still recovering from eye surgery when his brother, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, informed him in front of television cameras that he was selected.
Online creators are launching a $40 million fundraiser to build water quality projects around the world. Led by MrBeast and YouTuber Mark Rober, the monthlong crowdfunding campaign is called #TeamWater. It promises to rally the team’s combined 2 billion subscribers around combating unsafe water sources. Funds will primarily benefit WaterAid, an international nonprofit that builds community-tailored infrastructure ranging from solar-powered wells to rainwater harvesting systems. Organizers hope to provide sustainable access for 2 million people — and instill new generations with a lifelong commitment to environmental advocacy. The multi-platform drive follows the 2019 #TeamTrees and 2021 #TeamSeas campaigns, which reportedly drew more than $50 million altogether.

The Smithsonian Institution has removed a reference to President Donald Trump’s impeachments from an exhibit. It says it’s temporary. This decision comes as the White House presses for a more positive view of American history. A label about impeachment was added in 2021 to the National Museum for American History’s exhibit on presidential power. Smithsonian spokesperson Phillip Zimmerman said the section needed an overhaul. Trump is the only president impeached twice, in 2019 and 2021. Zimmerman says the impeachment reference will be restored after revisions. Since January, Trump has demanded changes across Washington cultural institutions, including the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, and the Kennedy Center.

Democrats are launching a nationwide summer blitz designed to force vulnerable Republicans to defend President Donald Trump’s big tax and spending bill, especially Medicaid cuts. The Democratic National Committee’s “Organizing Summer” will feature events in Alaska, Texas, Colorado and California over the coming week. The party’s message will be reinforced by online advertising and billboard trucks at county fairs targeting House Republicans in Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey, among other states. The package Trump signed into law July 4 may become the defining issue of next year’s midterm elections. Republican leaders encourage their members to promote more popular aspects of the law in appearances where they’re less likely to face difficult questions or protests.

A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict condemning Google’s Android app store as an illegal monopoly, clearing the way for a federal judge to enforce a potentially disruptive shakeup that’s designed to give consumers more choices. The unanimous ruling issued Thursday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivers a double-barreled legal blow for Google, which has been waylaid in three separate antitrust trials that resulted in different pillars of its internet empire being declared as domineering scofflaws monopolies since late 2023.

Exxon Mobil’s profit dropped in the second quarter to the lowest level in four years as oil prices declined amid an increase in production by OPEC+, but the results still managed to beat Wall Street’s expectations. The oil and gas giant earned $7.08 billion, or $1.64 per share, for the period ended June 30. A year earlier it earned $9.24 billion, or $2.14 per share. The performance topped Wall Street’s expectations, but Exxon does not adjust its reported results based on one-time events such as asset sales. Analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research were calling for earnings of $1.49 per share.
Detroit voters will take a key step toward choosing a new mayor in the municipal primary on Tuesday, when nine candidates will appear on the ballot in the city’s first open-seat mayoral race in a dozen years. The crowded field includes former police chief James Craig, city council member Fred Durhal, former city council president Saunteel Jenkins, Triumph Church pastor Solomon Kinloch, attorney Todd Perkins and current city council president Mary Sheffield. The top two vote-getters in the nonpartisan primary will advance to the November general election. Incumbent Mayor Mike Duggan is running for governor of Michigan as an independent.

Prosecutors say they will seek a prison sentence for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs that is substantially higher than the four to five years they initially expected he might face under federal sentencing guidelines. And they say they oppose the defense’s renewed request for bail because nothing has changed since his conviction last month on prostitution-related charges. He was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. The written submission to a Manhattan federal court judge was filed late Thursday. Earlier in the week, a defense lawyer made a renewed $50 million bail request for Combs, pending his Oct. 3 sentencing.
