  • Bobby Witt Jr. lifts Royals over Diamondbacks to avoid sweep

    AP

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Bobby Witt Jr. hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 on Wednesday night in a game that was delayed 50 minutes by rain at the outset.

    The Diamondbacks’ winning streak ended at four and they fell a half-game behind San Diego for the third wild card in the National League.

    It was the third straight series in which the Royals won the final game to avoid a sweep.

    Daniel Lynch (5-5) picked up the win, his first since moving into the starting rotation in early August. He allowed two runs on four hits in five innings. Nate Pearson earned his fourth save.

    Michael Soroka (8-5) took the loss in relief, allowing three runs in four innings.

    The Royals got an unearned run in the second inning. John Rave and Kyle Isbel recorded two-out singles. Rave stole third base and catcher James McCann’s throw went into left, allowing Rave to score. It marked the first time in the series that the Diamondbacks trailed.

    The Royals added a run in the third on Carter Jensen’s 23rd home run. Each of Jensen’s last nine hits have gone for extra bases. He sits in second place in Royals history for home runs by a rookie (Bob Hamelin, 24, 1994).

    The Diamondbacks answered quickly on Nolan Arenado’s 430-foot solo home run leading off the fourth. The Diamondbacks then tied it in the fourth on a two-out RBI single by Ketel Marte.

    Witt put the Royals back in the lead with his homer in the bottom of the fifth.

    After an off day, the Diamondbacks will host the Texas Rangers on Friday. Neither team has named a starter. The Royals travel to Boson on Friday to face the Red Sox. The Royals have not announced a starter to face Boston’s RHP Sonny Gray (17-4, 2.69 ERA) in the opener.

  • Dbacks Recap and Notes

    • Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen: Starting Wednesday

      Gallen (elbow) will return from the injured list and start Wednesday’s game against the Royals, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

      Wednesday will mark Gallen’s first appearance of the second half, as the 31-year-old has been on the shelf since July 12 due to right elbow inflammation. He pitched 1.2 scoreless innings in a rehab game at Triple-A Reno on Aug. 30 before building up to four innings during a sim game Friday. Rather than waiting for him to build his workload further, the D-backs will have him make what will likely be an abbreviated start Wednesday before turning the game over to Michael Soroka (shoulder), who will also be activated prior to the series finale.

    • Diamondbacks’ Michael Soroka: Returning Wednesday

      Soroka (shoulder) will return from the injured list and pitch against the Royals on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

      Soroka will return to Arizona’s pitching staff after a close-to-minimum-length stay on the injured list that was sparked by right shoulder inflammation Aug. 24. The 29-year-old built up to 59 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so the D-backs will piggyback him with Zac Gallen (elbow), who will also be making his return from the IL on Wednesday. Soroka will likely resume working as a traditional starter after he’s had a bit more time to ramp up his workload.

    • Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll: Taken out of Tuesday’s lineup

      The Diamondbacks scratched Carroll from Tuesday’s lineup against the Royals due to low back discomfort, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.

      This will mark consecutive games where Carroll has been left out of the starting lineup. The 26-year-old is slashing just .148/.200/.296 with one homer and four RBI over his last 58 plate appearances. Ildemaro Vargas will replace Carroll and man first base while Tim Tawa moves over to right field for Arizona on Tuesday.

    • Diamondbacks’ Gerardo Carrillo: Returns to Triple-A

      The Diamondbacks optioned Carrillo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

      Carrillo surrendered four runs (three earned) over one-third of an inning Tuesday in Kansas City and will now head back to the minors. The right-hander has a 4.15 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB over 17.1 innings (12 appearances) with the Diamondbacks this year.

  • Seahawks host Patriots in rare Week 1 Super Bowl rematch

    • AP
    • Sep 08, 2026

    The Seattle Seahawks have gotten an offseason full of congratulations, their Super Bowl rings and now will get the chance to see the banner raised before kicking off this season with hopes of repeating.

    But the Seahawks know that none of that matters once the 2026 NFL season starts.

    “I don’t see a single person in the building patting themselves on the back for what we did last year,” defensive lineman Leonard Williams said. “I think everybody in the building understands that we have to start from the bottom all over again. To get to the top of that mountain, we have to start at the bottom.”

    They will start the season the same way the last one ended, by facing the New England Patriots seven months and one day after beating them 29-13 in Super Bowl 60 in a dominating performance punctuated by a wild cigar and champagne celebration in the locker room of one of their division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.

    This marks only the third time in NFL history that there is a Super Bowl rematch in Week 1. It also happened in 2016, when defending champion Denver beat Carolina 21-20, and in the first year of the merger, when Minnesota avenged a loss to Kansas City with a 27-10 victory in 1970.

    In all, this will be the 12th time the two teams that played in the Super Bowl meet the following season, with the champion having won eight of the previous 11 matchups, including Philadelphia’s win over Kansas City in Week 2 last season.

    The Patriots know nothing that happens Wednesday can make up for the result last February so the focus is on getting going this season.

    “This is our chance to start the season off strong, on a good foot and knowing that the opponent that we have,” Patriots quarterback Drake Maye said. “You get to say, you get a little bit of a revenge game, but I would not say revenge game. They won the big one, and we got to start the season off. You cannot get that game back that we lost, so we are on to something new.”

    New England (17-4) at Seattle (17-3)

    When/where to watch: Wednesday, 8:20 p.m. EDT, NBC

    Latest odds: Seahawks by 3 1/2.

    Last meeting: Seahawks beat the Patriots 29-13 in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8, in Santa Clara, California.

    Series record: Seahawks lead 12-9.

    Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez vs Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Two of the best at their positions will face each other in the opener after getting big contract extensions in the offseason. Gonzalez got his deal just before the opener while Smith-Njigba got paid in March. Smith-Njigba won AP Offensive Player of the Year last season when he had 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 TDs. Gonzalez was a Pro Bowler last season and had seven pass breakups and one INT in four playoff games. Gonzalez has been in a contract dispute this summer but the Patriots will need him on the field for the opener. Gonzalez allowed only one completion in coverage in the Super Bowl, according to PFF, on a 16-yard pass to Smith-Njigba. He also had three pass breakups in the game, including one on what looked like would be a TD pass to Smith-Njigba.

    – New England has lost four of its last five season openers. Coach Mike Vrabel has a 2-5 record in season openers.

    – Patriots QB Drake Maye was the MVP runner-up last season after leading the NFL in completion percentage (72%), passer rating (113.5) and finished in the top five in TD passes (31) and yards passing (4,394). But he struggled in the playoffs with an 82.2 passer rating in four games.

    – WR A.J. Brown makes his debut for New England after being acquired from Philadelphia in an offseason trade. Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven TDs last season for the Eagles. Brown is the fifth player ever with at least 1,000 yards receiving and seven TD catches in six of his first seven seasons.

    – Seattle has won five of its last seven season openers and is 1-1 in Week 1 under coach Mike Macdonald.

    – Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has won 14 starts and thrown for more than 4,000 yards in each of the past two seasons. The only other player with back-to-back 14-win seasons was Tom Brady in 2003-04.

    – The 28 turnovers for Seattle in the 2025 regular season were the second-most in the league. The Seahawks then became the only Super Bowl champion to commit no turnovers in the playoffs.

    – Seattle led the NFL last season allowing opponents to convert just 32.1% of third downs.

  • Seahawks recap and news

    • Seahawks’ Ty Okada: Unavailable for Week 1

      Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday night’s contest against the Patriots, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

      Okada was unavailable for practice all week long as a result of a hamstring injury, and he will now be forced to miss the regular-season opener. The Seahawks may have to get creative in the secondary with Bud Clark (ankle) already expected to miss multiple months of action.

    • Seahawks’ Tory Horton: Taking questionable tag into Week 1

      The Seahawks list Horton (hamstring) as questionable for Wednesday’s season opener versus the Patriots, John Boyle of the team’s official site reports.

      Horton missed the final nine games of the regular season as well as the entirety of the Seahawks’ playoff run due to a shin fracture as well as a groin issue, then required offseason surgery to address the injuries. Though he was deemed ready to go for the start of training camp, Horton ended up succumbing to a hamstring injury around the middle of August. Though his hamstring isn’t viewed as a long-term concern, Horton had his practice participation managed this week and may not get clearance to suit up Wednesday. If he’s able to avoid the inactive list, Horton will likely be in line for a small role as the Seahawks’ No. 4 wide receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp.

    • Seahawks’ Nick Emmanwori: Iffy to play in season opener

      The Seahawks list Emmanwori (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Patriots, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

      Emmanwori has been a limited participant in practice this week while he continues to work his way back from surgery on his right ankle, which he underwent in late July. The Seahawks will likely re-evaluate Emmanwori early Wednesday before rendering a decision on his status before the team submits its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET opening kickoff. If Emmanwori ends up sitting out the season opener, the Seahawks would be down both of their starting safeties, as Ty Okada (hamstring) has already been ruled out.

  • Patriots Recap and news

    • Patriots’ Rhamondre Stevenson: Lead role awaits in opener

      Stevenson is expected to see the bulk of the snaps and touches out of the backfield Wednesday against the Seahawks after teammate TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was ruled out for the season opener, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

      Stevenson and Henderson are expected to have a fairly equitable split of the backfield when both are fully healthy, but the latter’s absence for Week 1 should clear the way for Stevenson to handle a workhorse role. The Patriots have Corey Kiner on hand as a backup option, and at least one of Lan Larison and Hassan Haskins will be promoted from the practice squad for the opener, but none are expected to poach much work from Stevenson on early or passing downs. With a big workload likely awaiting him Wednesday, Stevenson should make for a strong option in Week 1 fantasy lineups, even in a tough matchup against the reigning Super Bowl champions.

    • Patriots’ TreVeyon Henderson: Sitting out season opener

      The Patriots ruled out Henderson for Wednesday’s season opener versus the Seahawks, Evan Lazar of the Patriots’ official site reports.

      Henderson’s absence for the opener hardly comes as a surprise with his ankle injury having kept him from practicing in any capacity since Aug. 24. With Henderson sidelined for the opener, Rhamondre Stevenson will have a clear path to earning the bulk of snaps and touches out of the backfield. Corey Kiner will serve as the Stevenson’s top understudy, and the Patriots will likely elevate one or both of Lan Larison and Hassan Haskins from the practice squad to add depth at the position.

  • AZCardinals News and recap

    • Cardinals’ Tyler Allgeier: No. 1 back on unofficial depth chart

      The Cardinals list Allgeier as the starting running back on their unofficial depth chart in advance of Sunday’s season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Head coach Mike LaFleur expressed optimism Tuesday that Jeremiyah Love would be ready to play Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Cardinals’ preseason opener, but the No. 3 overall pick in April’s draft isn’t expected to handle a workhorse role right away coming off the injury. While Love should emerge as the clear No. 1 option once he’s further removed from the injury, Allgeier appears well-positioned to have a meaningful role in the Week 1 game plan, regardless of whether he ends up starting or not.

    • Cardinals’ Jeremiyah Love: Listed second on unofficial depth chart

      The Cardinals listed Love (ankle) as the No. 2 running back behind Tyler Allgeier on their unofficial depth chart released prior to Sunday’s season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

      The No. 3 overall pick in the April’s draft, Love will eventually settle in as the unquestioned No. 1 option on the depth chart, but the Cardinals could look to ease him into NFL action while he works his way back from the high-ankle sprain he sustained Aug. 13 in the preseason opener against the Raiders. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that he’s optimistic Love will be available Sunday, though even if he manages to practice without limitations by the end of the week, the 21-year-old seems likely to share the load with Allgeier. Love should handle a larger portion of the snaps and touches out of the backfield once his ankle injury fades further in the rear-view mirror.

  • 2026 US Open results: Frances Tiafoe pulls off biggest grand slam comeback of his career to reach semifinals

    Tiafoe battled back from a huge deficit against Alex Michelsen to return to the semifinals for the third time in New York

    Francis Tiafoe punched his ticket to a third career semifinal at the US Open with a five-set thriller against fellow American Alex Michelsen on Tuesday night (5-7, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6).

    Tiafoe came into the match 2-17 in his career at grand slams (0-4 at the US Open) when trailing 0-2 in sets, but dug deep for the most impressive comeback of his career to earn a spot in the semifinal for the third time in five years in New York. Tiafoe will now face the winner of No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz and No. 8 seed Ben Shelton in the semifinals, where he will try to break through to his first ever grand slam final.

    Michelsen, meanwhile, came tantalizingly close to the first grand slam semifinal of his career, but fell to 0-3 lifetime in five-set matches. Still, the young American produced his best grand slam performance of his career and proved he’s another young American threat in the men’s game.

    The match began with Michelsen jumping out to an early lead as Tiafoe’s serve let him down early and Michelsen pounced on him with a break in the third game and seemed like he might never look back. He took the first set 7-5 and the second set featured more of the same from Michelsen, who was much sharper on his serve and was able to break Tiafoe twice to take the second set comfortably 6-3.

    Michelsen, who was the only man to enter the quarterfinals having not dropped a set, seemed well on his way to another straight set win after an early break in the third set put him on the front foot again.

    Tiafoe seemed flat throughout the first half of the match — producing an awful first serve percentage below 40% in the first three sets — and struggled to create the spark he needed to flip the momentum onto his side. He had an opportunity midway through the third set to get back on serve and put Michelsen under pressure, getting triple break point with Michelsen up a break and closing in on the semis at 4-3, but Michelsen ripped off five straight points to push it to 5-3.

    However, Tiafoe finally got the break he needed in the 10th game with Michelsen trying to serve out the match and let out a big yell to fire himself and the crowd up to push things to a fourth set. Michelsen’s serve, which was dominant early, started to break down with the finish line in sight, and the tension of the moment seemed to be impacting the 22-year-old. Tiafoe was able to capitalize on and run off three straight games to take the third set 7-5, ratcheting up the pressure on his young opponent.

    The fourth set saw Michelsen’s struggles continue, as Tiafoe got his serve back on track and ripped off the first three games to seize control and ultimately cruised to a 6-3 win to send the match to a decisive fifth set. As soon as it seemed like Tiafoe might roll, Michelsen came roaring out of the gates in the final set. The 22-year-old served to start the set and then broke Tiafoe at love to grab an early advantage, consolidating that break to go up 3-0.

    Tiafoe finally got on the board in the fourth game and the pendulum swung once again towards the veteran, as he got back on serve by breaking Michelsen in the fifth game. From there the tension ratcheted up as both men managed to hold serve in the next seven games to send the match to a 10-point tiebreak for a spot in the semifinals.

    Tiafoe was the first to draw blood in the tiebreak, grabbing the early mini-break to go up 4-2 as they went to the chairs for the first changeover. The No. 11 seed continued to apply pressure to Michelsen with big serves and was able to push his advantage to 7-4, demanding something spectacular from the 22-year-old to avoid a crushing five-set defeat.

    Michelsen wasn’t able to produce a final twist and turn in the marathon match, and Tiafoe was able to hit a forehand winner up the line to win 10-6 and complete the biggest comeback of his career.

    After the match, Tiafoe and Michelsen embraced at the net and the young American couldn’t hold back his tears as Tiafoe embraced him and offered some words of encouragement.

  • Corbin Burnes returns as Diamondbacks top Royals in 11 innings

    AP

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Corbin Burnes made his return after a 15-month recovery from Tommy John surgery, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a go-ahead RBI triple, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals 5-3 in 11 innings on Tuesday night.

    Burnes threw three innings and 57 pitches in his first start since June 2025. He struck out two and allowed two hits and two walks.

    Arizona (78-68) has won five of its last six games to hold onto the third Wild Card spot.

    In the 11th, Ryan Waldschmidt advanced Ildemaro Vargas to third on a leadoff sacrifice bunt, and Gurriel drove in Vargas after Matthew Lugo missed the catch in right-center field. The play was scored a triple.

    Ketel Marte added an insurance run in the 11th with a sacrifice fly, and Ryan Walston (1-0) earned his first career win and save in two innings of work.

    The game was scoreless until the eighth, when Perdomo hit a sacrifice fly to bring in the game’s first run. Tim Tawa added a solo homer in the ninth, his 10th.

    John Rave answered for the Royals with a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth, and both teams scored one run in the 10th.

    Michael Wacha struck out four in six innings and allowed three hits and four walks, picking up his fourth straight quality start for the Royals. Anthony Gose (1-1) took the loss.

    Daniel Lynch IV (4-5, 3.51 ERA) takes the mound for the Royals in the series finale Wednesday against RHP Merrill Kelly (9-13, 5.06).

    The Arizona Diamondbacks have been involved in two extra inning victories over their last three games. They escaped yesterday’s extra inning win over the Royals, in large part because of Ryan Waldschmidt. Waldschmidt kept the inning alive with a two-out single, and the Diamondbacks ended up tacking on four extra runs. A big part of the Dbacks continuing to have success is players like Waldschmidt doing their job at the bottom of the lineup. Even hitting in the ninth spot today, look for Waldschmidt to pick up where he left off last night and clear his combination line.
