  • Veronica Burton scores 25 points, dishes out 8 assists as Valkyries hold off Mercury for 87-81 win AP

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Veronica Burton scored 19 of her 25 points in the first half as Golden State quickly built a big lead and also dished out eight assists, Gabby Williams added 25 points, and the Golden State Valkyries held off the Phoenix Mercury for an 87-81 win Tuesday night.

    Burton made 5 of her 7 shots in the initial two quarters and finished 7 for 15 from the floor. Janelle Salaun contributed 11 points and five rebounds off the bench for the Valkyries, who shot 57.1% on the way to a 49-32 lead at intermission and 44.3% for the game.

    Williams’ 3-pointer with 5:58 to play put the Valkyries ahead 74-67, then she found Kaila Charles for a key layup with 2:26 left. Kayla Thornton’s 3 the next time down helped seal it before Williams converted a three-point play moments later.

    Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes went down with 5:13 left in the second quarter after a collision but later returned. The Valkyries had lost two in a row and led by as many as 18 but were threatened in this one after Phoenix’s 29-point third quarter cut the lead to 66-61 going into the final 10 minutes.

    Alyssa Thomas started and finished with 22 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Mercury after dealing with a left calf injury and missing Friday’s game at Portland. She was whistled for a technical foul 1:47 before halftime, then Kahleah Copper got a technical with 56 seconds remaining.

    Monique Akoa Makani scored 19 points and Natasha Mack grabbed 10 rebounds for Phoenix, which had won two straight following a six-game skid. The Mercury, who lost 95-79 at Chase Center on May 10 in the Valkyries’ home opener, committed 16 turnovers that led to 17 points for Golden State. The teams will face off again July 29 in Phoenix.

    The Mercury dropped to 3-2 on the road against the Western Conference.

    Mercury: Visit Dallas on Thursday night.

    Valkyries: Visit Seattle on Friday night.

  • Marlins break game open with 4 runs in the 8th, beat Diamondbacks 10-6

    MIAMI (AP) Otto Lopez hit a tiebreaking RBI single to start off Miami’s four-run eighth inning and Joe Mack went 4 for 4 and scored three runs as the Miami Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6 on Tuesday night for their sixth win in seven games.

    Lopez’s run-scoring single started a four-hit sequence in the eighth. Javier Sanoja drove in two more runs with a single and Esteury Ruiz followed with a one-run single as the Marlins broke open a 6-all tie.

    Mack, at 22 years, 164 days, became the youngest catcher in Marlins history to record four hits in a game. He also became the 13th MLB catcher with 10 runners caught stealing this season – doing so in just 28 games.

    Miami jumped out to an early 3-1 lead behind a Xavier Edwards RBI single in the first, a Connor Norby one-run double in the second and a sacrifice fly from Edwards in the third. Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers added two-run doubles in the sixth for a 6-2 lead.

    Pete Fairbanks (1-1) threw a one-hit ninth inning, striking out two.

    Max Meyer pitched 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits while striking out five. He set a franchise record with 14 starts to begin the season without a loss, also marking the longest such streak in the majors since Tony Gonsolin of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who went 17 games from April 9-July 13, 2022.

    The Diamondbacks tied the game in the top of the eighth on Ketel Marte’s two-run single. Corbin Carroll grounded out to first base and scored Tommy Troy, tying the game 6-all.

    Carroll and Gabriel Moreno each homered for Arizona. Marte added an RBI double in the seventh.

    Brandyn Garcia (0-1) took his first loss of the season after allowing four runs on two hits. Zac Gallen worked the first 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits while striking out three.

    The Marlins joined the Houston Astros as the only teams in the majors to collect six or more doubles in at least four separate games this season.

    RHP Ryne Nelson (2-4, 4.60 ERA) takes the mound for Arizona against RHP Ryan Gusto (0-1, 10.80 ERA) in the second game of the series Wednesday.

    The Diamondbacks own a .569 OPS the last two weeks vs. right-handers – not great considering here they face Max Meyer, who is 6-0 with a 2.81 ERA. At home he’s even better (4-0, 1.87 in seven starts). Zac Gallen still hasn’t found it and has been brutal outside of the desert (0-3, 7.57 ERA in six starts). The Marlins have won five of six , and are 9-4 when Meyer starts. Arizona has dropped eight straight with Gallen on the hill.

  • A wild Stanley Cup Final swings again as Hurricanes win 5-3 to make series 2-2 with Golden Knights

    LAS VEGAS (AP) The Carolina-Vegas series was largely expected to be a Stanley Cup Final in which goals were at a premium and each shift felt like a march up a well-defended hill.

    Yeah, that isn’t this.

    Another two-goal lead went the way of the landline on Tuesday night, the go-ahead shot came from a 37-year-old on his stomach on one of the great runs in Cup final history, and the winning goalie made his first start in two months and doesn’t know if that will be his last one this postseason.

    None of it makes sense and yet it all somehow does in this series that is now even after four games – probably aptly so – because of Jordan Staal’s second goal at 6:32 of the third period that came while sprawled on the ice in what became a 5-3 Carolina Hurricanes victory over for the Vegas Golden Knights.

    “It’s a wild ride, isn’t it?” Staal said. “There’s a lot of emotion, lots of ups and downs.”

    Now the series heads back to Carolina for Game 5 on Thursday night. The Hurricanes will potentially have two games on home ice to win their first Cup in two decades. Coach Rod Brind’Amour captained that 2006 team, and though he’s not ready to look at the big picture, he recognizes this is a unique final.

    “I know I need to (appreciate it) because this doesn’t come across very often,” Brind’Amour said. “But it is pretty stressful.”

    The same applies at the other end, where the 9-year-old Golden Knights chase their second championship in four years. Their position isn’t all that different from when the day started – two more wins and they’re there – but now they need to win at least once more on the road.

    “We need to flush it and get ready for our next game,” Vegas coach John Tortorella said. “I don’t think we should be looking any farther than just the next game.”

    Whichever team winds up losing can’t point to a number of moments that could have changed the outcome.

    Each game until this one was decided by one goal. It appeared this one would as well until Nikolaj Ehlers deposited an empty-net goal from 187 feet.

    A two-goal lead has disappeared in all four games in what has been a remarkable series in which momentum often changes at a moment’s notice. Each team has led by at least that many twice.

    The 33 combined goals are tied for the third highest in a Cup final with the Islanders-Flyers series in 1980.

    Staal became the first player in 44 years to score at least one goal in each of the first four games of the final and the ninth overall. Mike Bossy in 1982 with the New York Islanders against the Vancouver Canucks was the last player to score in the first four games of a final.

    Ehlers’ goal was part of a three-point night for him, Jackson Blake had a goal and an assist and Logan Stankoven scored a goal.

    Brandon Bussi started in place of Frederik Andersen in goal and made 18 saves, and including his work in relief in Game 2, Bussi has 36 saves on 40 shots. Brind’Amour said that Andersen, who did not dress, needed the rest. Pyotr Kochetkov was the backup goalie with Andersen serving as the emergency goaltender.

    “If you’re going to give him a break, you need to give him a break,” Brind’Amour said. “So to me, him dressing and going through all that does not really give him a night off.”

    Mark Stone, William Karlsson and Brett Howden scored goals for the Golden Knights, and Carter Hart made 23 saves. Karlsson also had an assist.

    The Hurricanes came out blazing, taking a 3-1 lead in the first period. Vegas nearly cut it to one, but Brayden McNabb’s goal came right after the period ended and didn’t count.

    Vegas scored twice in the second to tie the game, and the Golden Knights have now outscored Carolina 9-1 in that period.

    But the Golden Knights failed to add to that total, shifting home-ice advantage back to the Hurricanes.

    “We knew it was going to be a tight series,” Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson said. “We’re playing a really good team and 2-2, best out of three and fly out to Carolina (Wednesday) and take care of business in Game 5.”

    WIN
    Historically, teams that lose in double overtime in the Stanley Cup Finals often rebound strongly in subsequent games, making them favorable betting options—a system that has proven profitable for decades. Conversely, it’s often wise to fade teams when a player scores a natural hat trick (three goals in a single period). The Hurricanes have proved resilience all season, posting a 22-6-3 record after a loss, including 2-0 in the postseason. Carolina is 9-4 with two days of rest this season, compared to Vegas’s 5-6 record in the same scenario. Additionally, the Golden Knights lead the playoffs in both hits given and hits taken. Combined with the emotional high of their game three victory, this physical toll makes me think that Carolina will bounce back.

  • Dbacks recap and notes

    • Diamondbacks’ Patrick Forbes: Debuts for High-A club

      Forbes (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks over 2.1 innings in his first start for High-A Hillsboro on Wednesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

      A first-round selection in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Forbes didn’t pitch at all last summer and then had his professional debut further delayed after emerging from spring training with a flexor tendon injury. The 21-year-old righty was finally cleared to make a two-inning rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on May 27, and that appearance was the only one Forbes needed in rookie ball before being moving up to a full-season affiliate.

    • Diamondbacks’ Adrian Del Castillo: Playing time dwindling

      Del Castillo has gone 1-for-3 at the plate while making no starts and being used off the bench in just two of Arizona’s last eight games.

      After joining the Diamondbacks on April 3 following a brief stint on the injured list to begin the season, Del Castillo had seen fairly steady playing time against right-handed pitching between designated hitter and catcher over the ensuing two months. However, his opportunities to catch began to dry up once Gabriel Moreno coming off the IL on May 1, and Del Castillo’s playing time at DH has now dwindled over the past week with Pavin Smith returning from the shelf. With Arizona signing Max Kepler to a one-year deal Sunday, Del Castillo will likely face an even more difficult path to receiving at-bats once Kepler is eligible to join the Diamondbacks on June 25 upon completing his 80-game suspension.

    • Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll: Blasts 10th homer Sunday

      Carroll went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday’s 5-1 win against Washington.

      Carroll set the tone immediately, launching a solo shot off Cade Cavalli in the first inning to give Arizona an early cushion. The young star’s power has been explosive lately, as Sunday’s blast gives him three home runs over his last six games. Carroll’s season line of .285/.375/.553 with 10 homers, 15 doubles, eight triples, 31 RBI, 41 runs and seven steals across just 264 plate appearances represents another season of legitimate five-category production.

    • Diamondbacks’ Michael Soroka: Shuts down Nats for eighth win

      Soroka (8-3) earned the win Sunday against Washington, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings.

      After surrendering a game-tying solo homer to CJ Abrams in the second inning, Soroka was nearly perfect the rest of the way, tossing five scoreless frames to close out his seven-inning effort. It was his first start of at least seven innings with one or fewer earned runs since August 10, 2019 — a meaningful milestone for a pitcher who has spent the better part of those six years battling back from two torn Achilles injuries. Soroka’s ERA at Chase Field sits at an impressive 2.09 across eight home starts this season. With a 3.28 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 72:17 K:BB in 74 innings, he will seek to build off Sunday’s success in his next scheduled start on the road against Cincinnati.

  • Victor Wembanyama carries Spurs to 115-111 win that cuts Knicks’ NBA Finals lead to 2-1

    NEW YORK (AP) Victor Wembanyama has his first NBA Finals win – and the New York Knicks suddenly have a lot of work left to end their 53-year championship drought.

    Wembanyama had 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists, carrying the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-111 victory Monday night that cut the Knicks’ lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

    San Antonio is trying to make a first-of-its-kind NBA Finals comeback, and the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama, with his array of skills, makes anything look possible.

    “I’m sure Victor has numerous sources of motivation,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “I don’t think any of us are surprised or expect anything different than a strong performance.”

    The Spurs handed the Knicks their first loss in 46 days and potentially salvaged their season in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd that included President Donald Trump.

    The Knicks had their 13-game winning streak, the second-longest in NBA postseason history, snapped and missed a chance to move to the brink of their first title since 1973. Their previous loss occurred on April 23 in a one-point defeat to the Atlanta Hawks. They won the next three against Atlanta, swept Philadelphia and Cleveland and took the first two games against the Spurs.

    The run stirred New York into a frenzy, with raucous watch parties, fans paying outrageous sums of money for tickets and “Knicks In Four” becoming a daily greeting on streets, subway cars and in workplaces.

    But Wembanyama and the Spurs ended the streak and ruined the Knicks’ first home NBA Finals game since 1999.

    “At home, it really feels like playing six against five. Here, it feels like five against six,” Wembanyama said. “It really shows what teams are made of.”

    Knicks coach Mike Brown complained about the Spurs’ 24-8 advantage in free throw attempts in the second half.

    “I tell the guys, it’s a seven-game series for a reason,” Brown said. “They are a great team. They are well-coached. They have an iconic player. It’s not going to be easy.”

    Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox hit big shots late as the Spurs avoided falling into a 3-0 hole, which no NBA team has escaped. Now they can tie the series Wednesday night and are guaranteed another game at home, with Game 5 scheduled for Saturday.

    Castle finished with 23 points as the Spurs got started in their quest to become the first team to win the NBA Finals after losing the first two games at home.

    Jalen Brunson scored 32 points and OG Anunoby had 28 for the Knicks.

    Fans who endured long lines to get in with the extra security measures in place – and some who paid five-figure sums for the chance to do so – were treated to a back-and-forth game as the NBA Finals returned to Madison Square Garden for the first time in 27 years.

    Wembanyama, whose turnover late in Game 2 cost the Spurs dearly, didn’t make many mistakes Monday. He had 10 points in the final quarter, helping San Antonio build just enough of a cushion to withstand Brunson’s latest comeback attempt.

    Minutes after Trump was booed loudly when he was shown during the national anthem, the Spurs got off to an ideal start. Wembanyama dunked for their first two baskets and they had a double-digit lead 4 1/2 minutes into the game. San Antonio made nine of its first 11 shots, with the Knicks and their fans frustrated by the referees and the home team’s sloppy play, and led 33-22 after one.

    The Garden crowd didn’t really start to rock until Anunoby’s 3-pointer capped an 11-2 surge that cut it to 40-38. The Knicks got their first lead of the night on Brunson’s 26-footer as part of a big burst to finish the half. New York led 64-57 at the break.

    But the Spurs went back ahead in the third quarter and led 111-104 on Castle’s 3-pointer with 1:53 to play. Castle then closed the scoring with two free throws with 6.8 seconds left after Anunoby’s 3-pointer cut it to two.

    The Knicks had piled up massive scoring margins while romping through the Eastern Conference playoffs, then were just good enough in the two games in San Antonio. This time, a horrible start to the fourth quarter put them too far behind.

    A star-studded crowd that included Derek Jeter and Eli Manning, champions of New York teams in other sports, was hoping to see the Knicks move closer to a third NBA title. But with Karl-Anthony Towns limited to 11 points and Mikal Bridges saddled with foul trouble, a team that had been so potent in the postseason struggled for long stretches.

    LOSS
    Everyone knows this is a must win game for San Antonio. Videos have been circulating that the Spurs are having the best time practicing, warming up and giving interviews despite being down two in the series. The Garden is going to be the most electric it has been and maybe the last 20+ years and the Knicks are focused. New York’s experience, depth and desperation to bring a title home will be the difference maker along with the fans that are going to make it uncomfortable for this young Spurs squad.

    Jalen Brunson has failed to clear this prop total in six straight games. But the volume continues to be there against the Spurs, as he hoisted nine 3-point attempts in Game 1 and eight more in Game 2. In three regular-season meetings with San Antonio, Brunson averaged eight 3-point attempts. Brunson shoots better from beyond the arc at MSG and I like the nice plus-money on him to make three treys in Game 3.

  • French Open 2026 results, winner: Alexander Zverev claims first grand slam title over Flavio Cobolli

    No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev overcame the challenge of No. 10 Flavio Cobolli on Sunday to claim his first grand slam title at the 2026 French Open. Zverev got it done in five sets against the rising Italian contender (6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7,6-1) on Philippe Chatrier on Sunday at Roland-Garros.

    It’s the first time a German has won a grand slam title since Boris Becker claimed the Australian Open in 1996.

    Zverev battled back from two breaks of serve in the fourth set to take down Cobolli in the tiebreak thanks to some incredibly timely serving.

    Zverev had previously reached the finals of a grand slam three times, but came up short in each appearance, including a 2024 loss to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets. For a long time, Zverev was considered the best player on tour to not claim a grand slam title.

    Sunday erased any remaining doubts as his serve remained on point despite a few hiccups down the stretch. He managed to break Cobolli at 4-5 in the fourth set to eventually force a decisive tiebreak. Zverev went up early in the breaker, but Cobolli rallied quickly force a fifth set.

    Zverev then secured two breaks of Cobolli’s serve and consolidated both to jump out to a quick 4-0 lead in the final set. He closed it out in style by breaking Cobolli one last time for the 6-1 set win with a slick return after a drop shot from Cobolli that he managed to get to before Cobolli sailed his return out of play.

     

     

  • 2026 Memorial Tournament leaderboard: J.T. Poston outlasts Ryan Gerard in two-hole playoff for fourth win

    A marathon Sunday produced one of the tightest races of the PGA Tour season. With five players tied for the lead and just three holes to play, it was Ryan Gerard and J.T. Poston who pulled away from the pack at the eleventh hour and required a playoff at the 2026 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village to identify a champion.

    In extra holes, it was Poston who reigned supreme as the 54-hole leader made par on the second playoff hole to secure a handshake with tournament host Jack Nicklaus. This came after Gerard made a 38-foot birdie on No. 17 in regulation to secure a one-stroke lead with one to play. Poston tied Gerard with a birdie on the 72nd hole from 7 feet, 5 inches.

    Both players finished the tournament at 12 under with Poston’s total coming courtesy of a final-round 72. Wyndham Clark finished one stroke outside the playoff at 11 under while Sam Burns and Tommy Fleetwood fell two short of the playoff as both players made bogey on the par-4 17th.

    Poston represents the seventh different winner in signature events this season. In 2025, all eight signature events were won by eight different players. This win represents the biggest of Poston’s career as his fourth and earns him a spot in the field at the U.S. Open in two weeks’ time.

    Here are the rest of the notable names on the leaderboard at the 2026 Memorial. 

    P2. Ryan Gerard (-12): Backtracked in the morning hours by playing his final six holes of the third round in 2 over, but he came out firing in the final round. Making up four strokes to Poston across the final 18 holes, Gerard found himself with the solo lead in the middle of the fairway on the 72nd hole. A par would have been enough most tournaments, but it was not in this edition as Poston poured in a clutch birdie to force a playoff where he ultimately won. Gerard continues to exude confidence and with a newfound feel on the greens, more chances at his second PGA Tour win will continue to come. Grade: A

    T4. Tommy Fleetwood (-10): For a brief moment, Fleetwood fought his way to the top alone as he was the first player to reach 11 under in the latter stages of the tournament courtesy of a laser approach with his fairway wood on the par-5 15th to set up an eagle. Fleetwood compounded mistakes a couple holes later as a missed fairway off the tee was followed by a layup that kept him out of position ended with an untimely bogey on the card. The result is his second quality finish in his last three starts as he begins to rediscover the form that he possessed last summer. Grade: A

    T12. Rory McIlroy (-4): Looked like he was going to go nuclear Sunday as he started his final round with five birdies across his first six holes. A bogey on the par-5 7th halted his momentum as some miscues in the short-game category held him back over the course of the week. In his lone start between the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, McIlroy’s iron play remained sharp as did his driving as his misses were tighter off the tee.

    “My iron play was better, wedge play was good,” McIlroy said. Off the tee still wasn’t where I want it to be. Thankfully the fairways at Shinnecock are a little wider than they are here. But, yeah, still need to work on that. I need to work on how I’m hitting it off the tee. But everything else, putting felt pretty good, for the most part. As I said, iron play and wedges were pretty nice. Yeah, just try to keep getting a little bit better each and every day heading into Shinnecock.” Grade: B

    T12. Scottie Scheffler (-4): The week started in frustrating fashion as the world No. 1 opened with a 73 and battled some cutline jitters on Friday. Ultimately, it ended in unspectacular fashion. Unable to win his third straight Memorial, Scheffler heads into his first attempt at the career grand slam at the U.S. Open in two weeks without a win since his first start of the season.

    He was middle of the road in terms of strokes gained approach, greens in regulation and strokes gained putting in his 32nd straight event in which he finished inside the top 25. Scheffler is still the best player in the world as the finish marks his fifth outside the top 10 this season — two more than he had in both 2024 and 2025.

    “Overall, I would say pretty frustrating, but the way I played the last two days I definitely feel a lot better with kind of where things are at than I did coming off the course on Friday,” Scheffler said. “I guess I should say in the middle of the round Friday. I started hitting some did good shots on the back nine Friday, and then I played decent the last couple days. I just wasn’t sharp enough to make the big move that I needed to make.” Grade: B-

    MC. Jordan Spieth (—): After posting a round in red figures on Thursday, Spieth was sent packing on Friday courtesy of a second-round 79. The early exit made it officially one year since his most recent top-10 finish as he continues the elusive search to piece the entirety of his game together for the entirety of a tournament. There have been positive signs in the year since, but a result of any kind has yet to materialize. Grade: F
