  • AZ Cardinals Report and Recap

    • Cardinals’ Tyler Allgeier: Four receptions in loss

      Allgeier rushed twice for a loss of one yard and caught all four of his targets for 10 yards in the Cardinals‘ 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

      Allgeier wasn’t asked to rush much. The No. 2 running back left most of the carries to rookie Jeremiyah Love. The 26-year-old racked up his points on screen passes and checkdowns, catching everything thrown his way for minimal gains.

    • Cardinals’ Chad Ryland: Makes six kicks in loss

      Ryland hit all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday’s 36-30 loss to the 49ers.

      The kicker’s longest field goal came from 49 yards out. Ryland has only missed one kick this year, a 54-yard field-goal try. The Cardinals have also shown some life on offense, so if they continue to move the ball, Ryland will remain fantasy relevant.

    • Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett: Solid numbers in high-scoring loss

      Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for four yards in the Cardinals‘ 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

      Brissett put together one of his signature stat lines, parlaying massive passing volume into a solid yardage figure while remaining free of turnovers. The veteran signal-caller’s pass-distribution profile was also on brand, as a whopping 28 of his pass attempts went in the direction of Michael Wilson (17 targets) and Trey McBride (11 targets). Brissett hit Wilson (five yards) and Jeremiyah Love (one yard) for his pair of touchdown passes, marking his first multi-TD tally of the season. Brissett is averaging a typically conservative 5.6 yards per attempt over his first three games, but he’s thrown for over 275 yards in two of his first three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

    • Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison: Some signs of life in loss

      Harrison brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Cardinals‘ 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

      Harrison was a distant third in receiving yards and tied for the same slotting in targets for the Cardinals on the afternoon. Despite the modest stat line across the board, Harrison’s Sunday was certainly an improvement on his Week 2, when he was blanked and saw only one target. While his season-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals offer some solace, they fall short of satisfying frustrated fantasy managers who banked on a comeback campaign from the 2024 first-round pick. Harrison still appears to clearly be behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride in the Cardinals’ pass-catching hierarchy heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

    • Cardinals’ Michael Wilson: Peppered with targets in loss

      Wilson secured 11 of 17 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals‘ 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

      Wilson’s afternoon was reminiscent of several of those in his 2025 campaign, as the veteran receiver garnered a bulk of Jacoby Brissett’s attention in his short- and mid-range role while leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Marvin Harrison was a bit more involved Sunday with three catches for 40 yards on five targets, but it appears clear Wilson and Trey McBride have far and away the most chemistry with Brissett. Wilson will take an 18-163-1 line on 31 targets in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Dbacks season over time to make difficult decisions

    By Asif Malik OLD Town Writer

    The Arizona Diamondbacks season is over getting eliminated on game 162 losing to the Padres 9-4 on Sunday while the Philadelphia Phillies also beat the Tampa Rays to capture the national league wild card spot with a 7-3 win on Sunday this white elite season surge in highly unstable starting rotation including down years and injury stands for multiple key arms ultimately cost Arizona’s return to October baseball.  This marks the third consecutive season.  

    The Diamondbacks will miss the playoffs. So with the  overall summary of 2026 the final record was 86 -76 which was a six win improvement over the 2025 campaign.   They did finish in third place behind division winning Los Angeles Dodgers and the second place the San Diego Padres.

    With the season concluded the front office faces crucial decisions regarding roster and future manager Torey Lovullo who’s contract is expired has expired.   We will monitor Torey Lovullo’s managerial decision job status plus free agency decisions.

     

    Added Notes from other writers

    • Diamondbacks’ Slade Caldwell: Undergoes back surgery

      Caldwell underwent back surgery in mid-September, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reported. He will be out four-to-six months.

      Caldwell, the Diamondbacks‘ first-round pick in 2024, has really struggled to hit for power as a professional. In 465 plate appearances at High-A Hillsboro this season, Caldwell hit .213/.361/.304 with six homers and 26 stolen bases, tallying an .091 ISO. While the ongoing back problems may give him an out in terms of his 2026 stats, Caldwell has dropped out of most prospect lists. 2027 will be a crucial year in his development for the Diamondbacks.

      Diamondbacks’ Corbin Burnes: Expected to be fine after rest

      Burnes said Monday that the right shoulder injury which landed him on the 15-day injured list during the final weekend of the regular season was fatigue-related and he expects to be fine after rest, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

      Burnes had his Tommy John surgery rehab interrupted by a teres major strain in June, and his season ended prematurely due to what the Diamondbacks labeled as shoulder inflammation. However, it sounds as if the veteran hurler will be able to have a normal offseason after resting for a bit. Burnes allowed nine runs with an 8:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings in three starts for Arizona in 2026.

    • Diamondbacks’ Michael Soroka: Lasts 4.2 innings in no-decision

      Soroka did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out four.

      Soroka worked two scoreless innings before surrendering runs in each of the next three frames, including a solo homer to Gavin Sheets in the fourth. In four outings since returning from right shoulder inflammation, the right-handed hurler posted a 3.48 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 20.2 innings. With the Diamondbacks falling short of a playoff berth, Soroka will end the 2026 campaign with a 9-5 record, 3.41 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 114:29 K:BB over 116 innings (22 appearances).

  • College Football Power Rankings: Mississippi State, Iowa among risers amid massive shakeup

    miss-st-power-ranks.png

    CBS Sports Graphic

    Hold your breath, folks. The first month of the season ended with a bang as eight AP-ranked teams lost in Week 4, and the CBS Sports Power Rankings underwent a massive facelift.

    We’re also noticing new trends that prompt questions about the divide between the nation’s elite and everyone else. AP-ranked teams are 72-6 against unranked opponents this season, the best winning percentage since the turn of the century. Home teams are also winning 77.8% of games by an average margin of 19.4 points, both the highest numbers we’ve seen since 2000.

    Still, despite the trend showing a lack of parity, we had some shakeups Saturday. Two ranked teams were upset at home by unranked foes, and five ranked teams lost at home last week, including Michigan, Penn State and USC – the first time three ranked Big Ten teams lost at home in the same week.

    No finish was as exciting as the hush the Hawkeyes put over the Big House. Iowa‘s Hank Brown hit Reece Vander Zee in the corner of the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown as time expired, handing Iowa its first win at Michigan since 2015 and bringing tears to the eyes of longtime coach Kirk Ferentz.

    Elsewhere, Florida demolished Ole Miss after the Rebels’ emotional win against LSU and Lane Kiffin a week ago. Mississippi State rose quickly in the CBS Sports Power Rankings with a ranked-on-ranked win against Missouri, its third win against a Power Four opponent, strengthening a resume that includes two road wins.

    Texas also solidified its No. 1 ranking with a 20-17 win in a 10-sack performance at Tennessee.

    We enter October with six new teams in the CBS Sports Power Rankings.

  • Case Keenum accounts for 3 TDs as Bears roll past Eagles 27-7

    CHICAGO (AP) Case Keenum passed for two touchdowns in his first start in almost three years, and the Chicago Bears shut down Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles for a 27-7 victory on Monday night.

    Stepping in for Caleb Williams, Keenum was 24 for 34 for 247 yards. He also scored his first rushing touchdown since 2019 on a 1-yard plunge with 7:19 left, capping a 13-play drive that took more than eight minutes off the clock.

    It was Keenum’s first action since he started for Houston in a 36-22 loss to Cleveland on Dec. 24, 2023. Williams was sidelined by a right hamstring injury, and Tyson Bagent backed up Keenum after he cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol on Sunday.

    Kalif Raymond had six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown as Chicago (2-1) bounced back after an ugly 9-3 loss to Minnesota.

    Philadelphia (2-1) turned the ball over three times and failed to record a takeaway for the third consecutive game to begin the season. Hurts was 16 for 25 for 153 yards with an interception, and Saquon Barkley rushed for 82 yards on 15 carries.

    Keenum capped Chicago’s first drive with a shovel pass to Luther Burden for an 8-yard touchdown, and he connected with a wide-open Raymond on a 41-yard TD in the second half.

    Trailing 7-0, Hurts drove Philadelphia deep into Chicago territory in the second quarter before he absorbed a late hit by linebacker D’Marco Jackson along the sideline. Hurts was pulled off the field to be checked for a concussion, and backup Andy Dalton was intercepted by rookie Dillon Thieneman in the back of the end zone with 6:14 left.

    Hurts scored on a quarterback sneak as time expired in the first half, but Chicago (2-1) controlled the final two periods.

    Hurts was picked off by linebacker T.J. Edwards late in the third quarter. Edwards dropped a potential interception on third down on Philadelphia’s first drive of the second half.

    Chicago finished with 24 first downs and 128 yards rushing. The Bears had 28 first downs and 281 yards on the ground in a 24-15 win at Philadelphia last season.

    Bears: LT Braxton Jones departed with 10:22 left in the third because of a knee injury. … Raymond was shaken up on a punt return with 3:12 remaining in the third, but he returned to the game.

    Eagles: Host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

    Bears: Host the New York Jets on Sunday.

    It’s rare for Las Vegas to make a handicapping mistake. Sharps and squares both seem heavy on Philadelphia, and Vegas was not built on winners. It’s clear there is an expectation that Ben Johnson will simply outscheme the Eagles; that’s a lot of trust to put in someone who is not physically on the field. It’s tough to see a path with the Bears starting Case Keenum, who has not played meaningful snaps in three years. The Eagles have their issues, but what are the hosts going to look like without Caleb Williams’ legs extending plays? The running game has largely thrived due to Williams’ legs, and the receiving output has been mediocre. Philly should get a bunch of extra opportunities. Try to get -3.

  • Suns Media Day

    • The Phoenix Suns will open up their 2026 training camp on Tuesday September 29th 2026 course the number is 21 player.  There is a battle for the starting center with Mark Willims sidelined, Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach are battling for the starting center spot hopefully Maluach emerges since he was last year’s draft pick in 2025.  

    The Suns have new roster additions and standard Camp invites like center Duop Reath and guard Kennedy Chandler.  21 players 15 standard spots preseason’s first game is scheduled for October 5th 2026 against the Detroit Pistons.  

    • Suns’ Khaman Maluach: Draws praise from Booker

      Maluach earned significant praise from Devin Booker on Monday for the progress he’s made during the offseason, Shane Young of the Suns‘ official site reports.

      “I’d say he’s taken the biggest leap of anyone I’ve seen this summer,” Booker said of the second-year center. Maluach averaged just 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances as a rookie, but he followed that limited role with an impressive showing at Summer League. Booker’s strong praise provides another encouraging sign that Maluach could be ready to take on a substantially larger role in Phoenix’s frontcourt in 2026-27.

    • Suns’ Devin Booker: Feeling healthy this year

      Booker is feeling the healthiest in his career this year, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

      Booker is looking forward to his 12th year with the Suns in 2026-27 and is set for another huge campaign as the team’s top scoring option. The star guard stands out as a safe investment in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, having played at least 64 games in each of the past eight seasons while averaging at least 25 points, five assists and nearly four rebounds plus one steal in all of the last four years.

    • Suns’ Kennedy Chandler: Lands camp deal with Phoenix

      Chandler signed a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

      Chandler is set to compete for a spot on the Suns’ regular-season roster during training camp. The 24-year-old point guard appeared in 11 regular-season games (two starts) with Utah in 2025-26, averaging 15.0 points, 6.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 triples and 1.0 steals while shooting 39.5 percent from downtown in 32.3 minutes per outing.

    • Suns’ Phillip Wheeler: Signs camp deal with Phoenix

      Wheeler signed a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

      Wheeler could compete for a regular-season roster spot in training camp. However, the organization now owns his G League rights, so it’s possible he’ll be waived before camp begins. Over 46 games with the G League’s Osceola Magic last season, Wheeler averaged 14.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per showing.

    • Suns’ Duop Reath: Inks pact with Phoenix

      Reath (foot) agreed to a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Suns on Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

      With Mark Williams (shoulder) expected to miss around five months, Reath figures to compete for playing time with Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro. Reath’s 2025-26 campaign was cut short after he underwent right foot surgery in late January, and it’s unclear if he’ll be at full strength for training camp. Across 32 regular-season appearances for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, he averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds across 8.1 minutes per contest.

  • 2026 Presidents Cup standings, scores: United States battles back from record deficit to win 11th trophy

    What started as a commanding lead for the upset-minded International team turned into an American comeback on Sunday at the 2026 Presidents Cup. Entering the final day of competition at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 course down 10.5 to 7.5 to the visiting black and gold, the red, white and blue leaned on their individual efforts across the 12 singles matches to claim the team victory, 17 to 13.

    The come-from-behind win marks the largest final-day comeback to win the Presidents Cup. It also clinched the Americans’ 11th straight trophy with their overall record improving to 14-1-1 across 16 editions of the biennial event.

    For the first time since 2019, the U.S. team had to overcome a deficit entering Sunday singles to secure the cup.

    “I think these guys never lost faith. I know what that team room is like,” U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker said. “I told the guys last night that funny stuff happens here. Medinah has a history of funny things happening. Sure enough, they went out and played their asses off today. I’m so damn proud of those guys.

    “I cannot get over what Jackson Koivun did today. I put him in a really tough spot out there. We thought he could handle it. Sure enough, he did. He went out there and looked like the stud we know he’s going to be. So damn proud of Jacob Bridgeman getting his first point as a Presidents Cup rookie. All these guys fought for each other, fought for this country, fought for this team.”

    The U.S. ultimately won the Sunday singles session with a record 9.5 to 2.5 margin. Cameron Young led the way, as he did at Bethpage Black against the Europeans in last year’s Ryder Cup, but unlike last fall, his early 3 & 2 victory over Ryo Hisatsune was able to spur on the rest of his squad.

    “That was the job I was given today,” Young said. “So I had to go out and do my job for the guys behind me, and that’s all I was trying to do. All these matches are tough. Every time Ryo missed a 20-footer, it felt like a gift. They all looked like they were going in. Happy to get it over with early. Had a nice chance on the last hole and almost made it, and it was really good to see that one go in.”

    Justin Thomas won the first singles match in his Presidents Cup career in dominating fashion over Corey Conners to improve to 1-3-0 in the format. Scottie Scheffler did the same, winning 2 & 1 over Nico Echavarria. Scheffler went 3-1-0 on the week, tying Young and Chris Gotterup for most points on the U.S. team despite entering the event with a poor record in team play.

    “Very pleased,” said Thomas of his performance. “I just wanted to go out and do my job and get a point. Finally won a singles match at a Presidents Cup. I was 0 for 3 going into today. It was nice because obviously we needed a great day today. Was glad to do that, and hopefully we can keep it going.”

    Those victories by the home team were countered by International efforts from Tom Kim and Sungjae Im. Kim took care of business against U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, while Im was victorious against Sam Burns.

    Kim went 4-1-0 on the week to lead all point scorers for the best individual effort in his three Presidents Cups.

    “It means a lot. I was second off, and I really felt like it was a calling or a responsibility to show up and try to put a point up early for the team,” Kim said. “I feel like seeing one point up there will help my teammates behind. I’m looking forward to many more.”

    The five opening matches settled far earlier than the seven that followed, leaving the score at 12.5 to 10.5 for an extended period. The U.S. depth ultimately took over against the backstacked International lineup that captain Geoff Ogilvy cleverly crafted the night prior.

    Gotterup was pushed to the brink by Christiaan Bezuidenhout, but the big right-hander remained steady to win 1 UP and go 3-1-0 in his Presidents Cup debut.

    “This is by far and away the most nervous, most fun, pressure-packed environment that I’ve ever been a part of,” Gotterup said. “I didn’t feel like I had my best stuff this week, and getting thrown into this with not your ‘A’ game is stressful, but I felt like I handled it really well. We have a great team and a lot of guys that believe in each other, so hopefully we can pull this one out.”

    Two more highly contested matches were wrapped up in short order as Patrick Cantlay closed out Adam Scott on the 17th green. Cantlay made a 57-foot birdie putt on the hole prior to taking a 2 UP lead with as many to play.

    In the match ahead of them, Collin Morikawa outlasted Hideki Matsuyama, who made bogey on the par-4 18th to not only give away a half point in the form of a tie but the entire point to Morikawa. Matsuyama led for nine holes during the entire match, while Morikawa led for just two, including at the most important juncture at the end.

    The wins by Cantlay and Morikawa pushed the U.S. total out in front of the International team’s for the first time all weekend at 13.5 to 12.5.

    It was added to in short order as 21-year-old rookie Koivun took control of his match against Si Woo Kim late and never let go. After making the turn 2 down to Kim, Koivun won Nos. 11-13 to grab the lead and stood on the 18th tee 1 UP. Koivun split the fairway and sizzled his approach inside 10 feet. Once Kim missed his birdie bid, Koivun had notched another point for the U.S.

    He was the only U.S. player not to drop a match all week.

    That left three matches out on the golf course and the U.S. in need of a full point to secure the cup again. Xander Schauffele was 4 UP with four holes to play against Ryan Fox and confirmed a tie would be the worst result for the home team. The two-time major champion had a putt to win the Presidents Cup on No. 16, but it went begging by the hole.

    The moment ultimately belonged to Bridgeman on the 18th green. After Min Woo Lee made a bogey, Bridgeman faced a putt inside 5 feet to claim the cup. The Presidents Cup rookie connected, and the celebrations began as the U.S. pulled off a miracle comeback on Sunday, 14 years after being on the receiving end of one at this site.

  • Brock Purdy throws 4 TDs as 49ers hold off Cardinals to reach 3-0

    SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) The San Francisco 49ers keep losing key players to injuries and still keep winning, thanks in large part to the play of quarterback Brock Purdy.

    Purdy threw four touchdown passes, with the first coming on a trick play, and the injury-depleted 49ers held on for a 36-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

    San Francisco lost wide receiver Mike Evans to a rib injury in the first half and left tackle Trent Williams to a stinger in the second half, but still managed to hold on to start 3-0 for the third time in the last four seasons.

    “It’s the NFL, it sucks when your teammates go down, but that’s part of the game,” Purdy said. “As a quarterback, it’s also part of handling that and doing what I can, which is my job.”

    Purdy is doing that very well with his 10 total touchdowns – pass and rushing – tied for the most in franchise history after three games as he leads the league with a 133.1 passer rating.

    “Brock is amazing,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “The offense is humming right now. It’s our job as a defense to make sure that we handle our business.”

    The game began well for the Niners before the injuries started mounting and they found themselves in a tight game against the Cardinals (1-2), who have lost 22 of their last 26 games in the division.

    Purdy helped ice it when he threw a 20-yard TD pass to George Kittle with 1:31 to play. The Cardinals added a late field goal, but Deebo Samuel recovered an onside kick to seal the win.

    Coach Kyle Shanahan dialed up a hook-and-ladder call on San Francisco’s third play from scrimmage to turn a precarious third-and-12 from deep in 49ers territory into an 82-yard score. Purdy threw a quick 6-yard pass to Evans, who flipped it back 4 yards to a sprinting Samuel as he was being tackled well short of the first down. Samuel then sprinted down the sideline, ran through a tackle attempt by Budda Baker near midfield and scored to make it 7-0 on an 82-yard play.

    “It was crazy because we walked through that play like once this week,” Samuel said. “It’s kind of crazy. Once I saw Mike catch the ball and there was two guys on him, I was like if I get around here, there won’t be anybody. Budda showed up and I showed the speed that people don’t think I got.”

    Purdy then connected on a 23-yard TD pass to Evans on the second drive and the Niners built the lead to 23-6 when Christian McCaffrey scored on a 1-yard run on the opening drive of the second half.

    But Arizona fought back as Jacoby Brissett threw two TD passes on the next three possessions, connecting on a 5-yarder to Michael Wilson and a 1-yarder to Jeremiyah Love after the Niners lost the ball on a muffed punt.

    But the 49ers answered with a touchdown drive that was aided when Josh Sweat was called for roughing the passer after an apparent third-down stop. Purdy then found Kittle on a 10-yard score to make it 29-20 even though Eddy Pineiro missed his second extra point of the game.

    Purdy finished 15 for 27 for 297 yards.

    Brissett scored on a 1-yard sneak with 2:51 to play to make it 29-27, but it wasn’t enough as the Cardinals were hurt by 10 penalties and settling for two field goals on drives to the red zone in the first half.

    “Any time in the first half when we got something going, and then we’d have self-inflicted wounds,” Brissett said. “Against good teams, it’s like being a death wish. Against good teams, you can’t do that. You can’t beat yourself and try to beat them.”

    49ers: Shanahan had no update on the extent of the injuries, but the one to Evans is most concerning as San Francisco is already without receivers Ricky Pearsall, De’Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson. … Williams returned to the sideline after being taken off on a cart, but didn’t come back into the game. … LB Dre Greenlaw left in the second half with a quadriceps injury.

    Cardinals: Visit the New York Giants on Sunday.

    49ers: Host Denver on Sunday.

    WIN
    FanDuel. After two games, there is no question who the second fiddle amongst Arizona Cardinal pass catchers is – it’s Michael Wilson. The Stanford product is second to Trey McBride in targets with 14, second in first read rate (27%) and first in air yard share 36%. After a dud of a performance for Wilson and the entire Cardinals offense against the Seahawks, I like them to bounce back against the 49ers. While McBride has a tougher individual matchup, Wilson should thrive against the 49ers cover 3 scheme. Marvin Harrison Jr.’s first read rate is 3% this season, and Wilson just landed a $75M contract extension – I don’t think that’s a coincidence. I have Arizona’s WR1 projected to clear 50 yards come Sunday.

    WIN
    Love the idea of taking 33.5 at plus money over having to lay a little at 32.5. The 49ers pass rush took a significant hit with the loss of Nick Bosa. They’ll still get to Brissett at times, but he’ll still be able to get passes off in a game where the 49ers figure to build a nice lead. He had over 50 attempts in his lone game against them last year, and the Cardinals have thrown at least 35 times in each of their past three. New coach Mike LaFleur may prefer to run the ball more here, but that scenario won’t be an option if the Niners put points up.

  • Diamondbacks eliminated from playoff race in loss to Padres

    SAN DIEGO (AP) The Arizona Diamondbacks missed the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons, losing 9-4 Sunday to the postseason-bound San Diego Padres shortly after the Philadelphia Phillies won to clinch the final NL wild card spot.

    The Diamondbacks (86-76) began the regular season’s final day with the chance to advance if they won and the Phillies lost, but neither happened. Arizona made a six-win improvement on last season’s 80-82 mark, but a stunning World Series run in 2023 remains its only postseason appearance since 2017 despite five winning records in that stretch.

    Gavin Sheets homered and Freddy Fermin drove in three runs for the Padres, who rested Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill and Xavier Bogaerts in their meaningless season finale. San Diego locked up the top NL wild card berth on Saturday before finishing 91-71, topping last year’s 90-win campaign with a club-record fifth consecutive winning season.

    The Padres finished on a 17-3 surge, winning their final seven series. After sitting with a losing record in late July, the Padres will host the Chicago Cubs starting Tuesday night in their third consecutive trip to the postseason, another franchise first.

    Arizona catcher Gabriel Moreno won the NL batting title despite being scratched about an hour before first pitch with a sore hamstring. Moreno became the first catcher to win a batting crown since Buster Posey in 2012, finishing at .311 – barely ahead of Philadelphia’s Luis Arraez (.310), who was out this weekend with a sprained ankle.

    The Phillies led Tampa Bay 4-0 when the Diamondbacks took the field at Petco Park, and Philly never gave Arizona’s scoreboard-watchers much hope.

    Randy Vásquez pitched six outstanding innings of one-run ball for San Diego, but reliever Griffin Canning (5-9) blew a three-run lead in the seventh with Corbin Carroll, Tim Tawa and Lars Nootbaar delivering RBIs for Arizona.

    Jake Cronenworth then drew a bases-loaded walk from Justin Martinez (3-1) at almost the same moment the Phillies finished their 7-3 win over Tampa Bay. Fermin added a two-run single shortly afterward.

    Manny Machado singled in Sung-Mun Song in the third and then left for a pinch-runner. The slugger ended the regular season with 399 career homers, third-most among active players behind Giancarlo Stanton and Mike Trout.

    Sheets led off the fourth with his 17th homer in his second game back from a four-week absence with a left foot injury.

    Padres: Michael King starts Game 1 against the Cubs at Petco Park. Chicago took two of three from San Diego in the Wild Card Round last season at Wrigley Field.

    LOSS
    I lost about 25 cents waiting on lineups. I was really curious if San Diego would care at all having locked itself into the No. 1 WC spot on Saturday. The answer is the Dads don’t care much with Fernando Taris Jr. and Jackson Merrill among those sitting today. All hands on deck for the Snakes as they must win and have the utterly gagging Phillies lose to get that final WC spot. And the Phils well may lose at home to the ultra-professional, AL-best Rays who never seem to not try to win.
