Dbacks report and notes
- Diamondbacks’ Nolan Arenado: Flips game with grand slam
  
  Arenado went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday’s 8-4 win over the Yankees.
  
  The Yankees put up a four spot in the third inning, but Arenado’s slam in the fifth canceled it out. The Diamondbacks were able to hand on from there. Over his last 13 games, Arenado has gone 18-for-46 (.391) with six homers and 13 RBI. He is now batting .247 with a .777 OPS, 27 homers, 78 RBI, 73 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 146 contests this season.
- Diamondbacks’ Corbin Burnes: Quick hook in no-decision
  
  Burnes allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.
  
  Burnes served up three home runs during the third inning, prompting an early exit as the Diamondbacks can’t afford to cede ground as they lag behind in the playoff race. Over his three starts so far, Burnes has surrendered nine runs across 10.1 innings with an 8:4 K:BB. He’s now been tagged for five runs, and it’s clear he’s still got some more rust to shake off following his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery. Burnes is tentatively projected to make his last start of the regular season at San Diego.

- Diamondbacks’ Juan Morillo: Earns win with scoreless relief outing
  
  Morillo (5-4) earned the win after walking one and striking out one over 1.1 hitless innings in Saturday’s 5-3 victory over the Yankees.
  
  Morillo entered with two outs in the eighth and kept the game tied at 3-3 through the top of the ninth before Pavin Smith’s two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the frame gave the Diamondbacks a much-needed win. Morillo has pitched well since the All-Star break, giving up just three earned runs across 24.1 innings in 25 outings, for an elite 1.11 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with a 26:9 K:BB over that stretch.

J.J. Spaun becomes 3rd American to win BMW PGA Championship as Rory McIlroy falls short

Spaun’s triumph comes after being passed over for the U.S. Presidents Cup team a couple of weeks ago

In his first appearance at the BMW PGA Championship, J.J. Spaun wasted no time making history. The 2025 U.S. Open champion became the third American to claim the trophy at the DP World Tour’s flagship event, joining Billy Horschel and Arnold Palmer, as he fended off a ferocious pack of European players Sunday at Wentworth.

Spaun played his final five holes in 4 under to post the clubhouse lead at 17 under. In doing so, he usurped the advantage that was possessed by Rory McIlroy, Aaron Rai and Adam Scott, all of whom sat at 15 under. That is the same number Manuel Elvira had on his scorecard with two holes to play.

The Spaniard played the 71st hole to absolute perfection as he rolled in an eagle-3 to draw square with Spaun, who was already in the clubhouse. However, as easy as the par-5 17th came to him, the par-5 18th did not. After taking an iron off the tee and finding the fairway, Elvira made the peculiar decision to lay up and did so by striking his second into a fairway bunker.

From there, he played his third long of the green, received free relief from the grandstands and dumped his fourth into the greenside bunker. He ultimately made a double-bogey 7 to boot away a chance at claiming the biggest title of his career and fall into a share of second-place with those mentioned at 15 under.

“Devastating that I hit the wrong shot at the right time on the layup and left myself the toughest shot in the fairway bunker and wasn’t able to pull it off,” Elvira said.

Spaun noted that the win came courtesy of “a huge chip” on his shoulder. After withdrawing from the Tour Championship due to discomfort in, coincidentally, his shoulder, the Ryder Cup participant was passed over for the U.S. Presidents Cup team by captain Brandt Snedeker.

The victory represents Spaun’s second of the year — all in his last 16 worldwide starts.

“I played with a huge chip on my shoulder,” Spaun said. “I definitely had something to prove this week, but everything happens for a reason. I’m so delighted to be here and just even play this event. I’ve always wanted to play for the longest of times.

“Extra motivation, I think that is the willpower that you have. Determination is such a strong factor, and being left off the Presidents Cup team a couple weeks ago was very disappointing. I wanted to prove that I deserved to be on that team, and I took care of my business this week. So all the best to my mates next week at Medinah, but I’ll be on the couch watching.”

While Americans shift their focus to the Presidents Cup against the International team next week, Europeans will remain fixed on the Race to Dubai. It is in this season-long race that Patrick Reed attempts to hold off a charging McIlroy, who has just about drawn even with the American.

Reed was forced to withdraw on Friday after striking a tree root in the second round, while McIlroy’s runner-up result gave him a boost of points with three tournaments remaining in his season.

“I’m excited,” McIlroy said. “I have three events until the end of my DP World Tour season. I’m not sure what Patrick’s schedule looks like coming up, but I feel like I have enough opportunities.

“And I’m going back to a golf course in India that I played for the first time last year, so I’ll know it a little bit better, and then going to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where I had a lot of success in my career. Excited for the opportunity, and it would be obviously amazing to match Monty’s record.”

AP
Sep 20, 2026

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Drew Lock admits he did a little more preparation this week before his first start in nearly two years, watching more film and studying the playbook with a more critical eye.

By Sunday, the quarterback’s strategy was clear: Get the ball to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Lock threw for 235 and three touchdowns – all to Smith-Njigba – in a stellar first start subbing for the injured Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks continued their dominance over the Arizona Cardinals with an emphatic 31-7 victory.

“Drew is a special talent,” Smith-Njigba said. “He sees the field very well, he can make any throw and I know he’s looking for me. I just want to be there for him and we’ve had a successful connection for a minute now.

“I’m super happy the way he came in, carried himself and carried this team.”

The defending Super Bowl champions have now won 10 straight over their NFC West rival going back to 2022 and closed this one by scoring the final 24 points. Smith-Njigba finished with nine catches for 155 yards and the career-high three TDs in one of the best performances of his four-year career.

Arizona has lost eight straight games at home in a streak that’s lasted 360 days. The Cardinals finished with just 151 total yards.

Lock got off to a good start, taking advantage of a busted coverage by the Cardinals’ secondary and hitting a wide-open Smith-Njigba in stride for an 82-yard touchdown on the team’s second offensive play of the game for a 7-0 lead.

Lock said Smith-Njigba altered his route in real time, making a quick double move that left Arizona’s defense in the dust.

“That’s the beauty of playing with him,” Lock said. “He’s going to find ways to get open. It might not be the most conventional way, but that’s what makes him a ballplayer. That’s what makes him one of the best receivers and the offensive player of the year.”

Early in the third quarter, Lock found the reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year on a crossing route for a 7-yard score and a 14-7 advantage.

That Seattle touchdown was set up by some good fortune on the opening kickoff of the second half. Rashid Shaheed fumbled on the return, but teammate Chazz Surratt picked up the ball and ran 35 yards all the way to the Arizona 37.

Seattle safety Julian Love intercepted Jacoby Brissett on the ensuing drive, making a spectacular sliding catch as he got his hand under the ball just before it hit the ground. It gave the Seahawks (2-0) great field position again at the Arizona 44, which they parlayed into Jason Myers’ 33-yard field goal and a 17-7 lead.

Smith-Njigba’s third touchdown came early in the fourth quarter when Lock threw a perfectly placed ball for a 12-yard strike and a 24-7 lead.

“Loved how we closed the game out,” Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said. “Just really proud of the effort, all four quarters and how we played in the second half.”

The Cardinals (1-1) opened the season with an impressive 26-14 road win over the Chargers in first-year coach Mike LaFleur’s debut, but couldn’t recreate that success against the talented Seahawks defense. Brissett threw a 2-yard touchdown to All-Pro tight end Trey McBride to tie the game at 7-all on the first play of the second quarter.

Seattle had a chance to retake the lead late in the second quarter, but couldn’t ram the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard line on fourth down. The game stayed tied going into halftime, but it was all Seahawks after the break.

Brissett threw for 95 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Rookie Jeremiyah Love led the team with 29 yards rushing and McBride caught eight passes for 41 yards.

“We’re not going to hit the panic button, but when we play the best defense in ball, you’ve got to do all the little things right,” LaFleur said. “We did not today.”

Lock made his first start since the final week of the 2024 season, taking over for Darnold, who suffered a glute injury in the opener against New England. The 29-year-old played most of that game and performed well, completing 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown.

Macdonald said that Darnold is progressing well and has at least a chance to start against the Washington Commanders next weekend. But if he’s not ready to go, the Seahawks look as if they’re in good hands with Lock.

“Really proud of Drew, really happy for him,” Macdonald said. “We’re on record about how we feel about him and he backed that up today.”

Seahawks: DL Brandon Pili was evaluated for a concussion. RB Jadarian Price left in the second half with a chest injury.

Cardinals: CB Max Melton left in the third quarter with a toe injury. CB Will Johnson left with a neck injury in the fourth quarter.

Seahawks: At Washington next Sunday.

Cardinals: At San Francisco next Sunday.

Seattle -3.5-117

Point Spread

Picked Sep 20 @ 2:52 pm, 1 unit on Caesars

WIN

Drew Lock for Sam Darnold is an obvious downgrade, but Mike Macdonald is such a smart coach, it’s difficult to believe he will not have the Seahawks offense ready to exceed expectations. Primarily, though, this comes down to the defense against Cardinals team that upset the Chargers and may be getting too much love in this road spot. The real concern about this pick is the hook, as this could set up to be a low-scoring game decided by a field goal. Given the pedigree and defensive might, Seattle is worth playing at -3.5 and -4, despite the number.

Adam’s Pick

Over 34.5-111

Marvin Harrison Jr. • Receiving Yards • Player Prop

Picked Sep 20 @ 9:59 am, 1 unit on DraftKings

LOSS

We’ll jump on the ultimate buy-low spot on the polarizing Cardinals WR. Harrison was backed by his teammates and coaches in the assertion that the Chargers, led by former collegiate rival Jim Harbaugh, swarmed him last week, which led to his one-catch outing. Even so, that one reception went for 33 yards and nearly clipped this number. In what is likely a trailing game script, we’ll bank on MHJ to clip this low number.

AP
Sep 20, 2026

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Deshaun Watson outplayed Baker Mayfield and earned at least a few more starts for the Cleveland Browns.

Watson threw two touchdown passes, including a go-ahead 17-yard toss to Blake Whiteheart in the fourth quarter, leading the Browns to a 23-19 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a game that was delayed two hours, 12 minutes because of lightning.

Even though Browns coach Todd Monken wouldn’t name him the starter for Cleveland’s home opener against Carolina next week, Watson shouldn’t have to worry about Shedeur Sanders taking his job this week.

“I’m so happy for him,” Monken said of Watson. “Good for him. Good for 22 months working his (tail) off to get to where he’s at. I’m gonna leave it at that.”

Before starting a lopsided loss to Jacksonville last week, Watson hadn’t played since 2024 because he tore his Achilles tendon twice. He was critical of Browns fans in the preseason, leading to speculation that he wouldn’t start at home unless he played well.

He erased those thoughts by going 24 of 30 for 238 yards with no turnovers and a 121.9 passer rating in his best game since Sept. 24, 2023, against Tennessee.

“I’m just happy we got the win,” he said. “I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I’ll leave the journey in God’s hands and let the outcome be the outcome.”

The Buccaneers (0-2) were driving and had a second-and-4 at the Cleveland 28 when the game was suspended at the two-minute warning.

When it finally resumed, heavy rain started falling again.

Bucky Irving ran twice and Mayfield’s pass to Ted Hurst got the Bucs to the 13 before a holding penalty set them back. Mayfield’s pass on fourth-and-10 from the 20 to Emeka Egbuka in the end zone was out of his reach, sealing the win for the Browns (1-1).

Watson and Mayfield faced each other for the first time in a meeting between two quarterbacks who are linked together.

Mayfield, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Browns in 2018, was traded to Carolina after a blockbuster trade brought Watson and his off-field troubles to Cleveland in 2022. He was eventually released by the Panthers during that season and played for the Rams before rejuvenating his career in Tampa Bay, where he has made two Pro Bowls and received a $165 million, three-year contract extension earlier this month.

“Frustrated because it’s close,” Mayfield said of the offense’s woes. “We have to be self-critical, look at the tape, get stuff fixed and not make the same mistakes over and over.”

Watson is 10-11 in five seasons with the Browns and seemed to be running out of time as a starter before this effort.

Monken had a message for people who claimed this was the same old Browns after a 34-10 loss to the Jaguars.

“The Browns are gonna Browns? (Expletive) that,” Monken said.

Watson connected with Denzel Boston on a 55-yard TD pass to tie it at 16 late in the third quarter. Boston caught a slant, broke three tackles and sprinted into the end zone.

Watson converted four times on third down on the drive that ended with his TD pass to Whiteheart that gave the Browns a 23-19 lead with 3:51 left in the game.

Tampa Bay’s Chase McLaughlin and Cleveland’s Andre Szmyt combined to go 7-for-7 on field goals.

McLaughlin connected from 59, 45, 31 and 31 yards. Szmyt was good from 50, 34 and 34 yards.

Mayfield willed the Buccaneers into the end zone on the opening drive of the second half. He stiff-armed his way to a first down on third-and-9. On the next play, Mayfield eluded a sack, stepped up and threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Egbuka, who had slipped and made the catch sitting on the ground.

Mayfield threw one interception that Cleveland turned into three points.

The Bucs got their best field position at the Cleveland 34 after Elijah Roberts stopped Quinshon Judkins on fourth-and-1. But the drive stalled after Tampa Bay reached the 11 and settled for a field goal that made it 9-6.

Browns: S Ronnie Hickman left in the fourth quarter. … CB Tyson Campbell left the game in the first half but returned.

Buccaneers: Rookie LB Josiah Trotter was shaken up but walked off the field in the fourth quarter.

Browns: Host the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 27.

Buccaneers: Host the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 27.

Expert Picks

View all 5 picks

Under 15.5-115

Cade Otton • Longest Reception • Player Prop

Picked Sep 20 @ 11:02 am, 1 unit on DraftKings

WIN

Caesar’s (-106). Cade Otton is coming off a pedestrian performance in a terrific matchup against the Bengals. Today, he’ll have a much tougher spot against the Browns. Otton’s average depth of target in Week 1 was 4.6 yards, similar to the 5.1 he accrued last season. Only 13% of his targets last season traveled at least 10 air yards. The Browns are stingy against tight ends, ranking inside the top 10 of yards per catch, yards per target and DVOA against the position in 2025. Baker Mayfield will have his full stable of receivers today, with Jalen McMillan expected to be back in action as well. Plus, the Bucs should be in a positive gamescript against the lowly Browns.

Prop’s Pick

Over 52.5-114

Emeka Egbuka • Receiving Yards • Player Prop

Picked Sep 18 @ 11:20 pm, 1 unit on FanDuel

LOSS

Last week I was anxious to see how much Emeka Egbuka was involved after missing time in Preseason with an injury. But he looked great and was very involved, with an 88% route share, 21% target share, and 25% first-read target share. He caught five passes for 63 yards. Now his receiving line is just at 52.5 as the true WR1 for the Bucs? I’m jumping on this line and will likely ladder it to 60+ for plus money.

PHOENIX (AP) Nolan Arenado hit his third grand slam of the season top help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees 8-4 on Sunday.

Arenado connected off reliever Brent Headrick (7-4) in the fifth inning. The Diamondbacks loaded the bases against Yankee starter Will Warren when Headrick entered. He struck out Geraldo Perdomo for the second out but walked Corbin Carroll to force in a run before Arenado homered on a 2-1 pitch. He tied Houston’s Yordan Alvarez for the major league lead this season, and it was Arenado’s ninth career slam.

The Diamondbacks had their MLB-best 47th comeback win of the season and kept pace with Philadelphia in the chase for the National League’s final wild-card berth, but trail the Phillies by four games with six to play.

New York still has a slim chance to win the American League East, but must win out and get help. The Yankees open a four-game series Tuesday against the division-leading Rays in New York.

Perdomo had a run-scoring single in the first and an RBI triple in the seventh.

Heliot Ramos, George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones homered for New York, all in the third inning, off Arizona starter Corbin Burnes.

Justin Martinez (3-0) was one of five Arizona relievers to hold the Yankees to three hits in the final 6 1/3 innings.

The Yankees finished their road season 47-34 (.580), second only to the Dodgers (46-32, .590). Arizona finished its home season 45-36 (.556), its best mark since 2017 (52-29, .642).

Yankees: Off Monday. Doubleheader at home against Tampa Bay on Tuesday with LHPs Carlos Rodón (6-3, 2.95 ERA) and Max Fried (5-4. 2.63) set to start for New York against RHPs Nick Martinez (15-4, 2.94) and Drew Rasmussen (15-5, 2.72).

Diamondbacks: Off Monday. RHP Michael Soroka (8-5, 3.45) was scheduled to start Tuesday at Colorado against LHP Kyle Freeland (4-10, 6.38).

LOSS

Corbin Burnes makes his third start of the season. Arizona won both of his starts but Burnes got torched by the Marlins in his last game, five earned runs in 4.2 innings. Will Warren owns a 3.95 road ERA and has allowed one earned run in 15 innings this September. New York has a better offense and the best bullpen in baseball.

Paige Bueckers leads Wings past Mercury for sixth straight win
AP

Sep 19, 2026

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Paige Bueckers scored 20 of her 26 points in the first half, Arike Ogunbowale had 22 points and six assists, and the Dallas Wings beat the Phoenix Mercury 87-82 on Saturday for their sixth straight victory.

Ogunbowale was fouled on a driving layup with 1:19 remaining and she completed the three-point play to extend the lead to 86-81.

Aziaha James made a key steal down the stretch and Bueckers was fouled with 9.7 seconds left before making 1 of 2 free throws to cap the scoring.

Dallas (26-16) passed New York and Washington for sixth place in the WNBA standings.

Awak Kuier added 11 points for Dallas and Jessica Shepard had 10 points, six rebounds and five assists. Bueckers reached the 20-point mark for the 24th time – the fourth-most in the WNBA this season.

Alyssa Thomas recorded her 23th career triple-double – and fourth of the season – with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for Phoenix (15-27). Lexi Held scored 21 points and made four 3-pointers, and Natasha Mack added 16 points.

Bueckers banked in a 3-pointer while being fouled with 0.5 seconds left in the first half to give Dallas a 56-49 lead. She missed the free throw to finish the half with 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting. She was 4 of 5 from 3-point range in the first 20 minutes before finishing 5 of 9.

The teams play each other again on Monday in Phoenix.

AZ Cardinals recap and notes
- Cardinals’ Isaac Seumalo: Questionable for Week 2
  
  Seumalo (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
  
  Seumalo drew the questionable tag after logging back-to-back limited practices to end Week 2 prep. Hayden Conner would likely start at left guard if Seumalo is unable to play. The Cardinals could be without both of their starting guards in Seumalo and Isaiah Adams (knee) against the defending Super Bowl champions.
- Cardinals’ Isaiah Adams: Iffy for Week 2 vs. Seattle
  
  Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
  
  Adams was a limited participant in all three practices this past week due to a knee injury that prevented him from suiting up for the Cardinals‘ Week 1 win over the Chargers. If he’s unable to play against Seattle, then Jon Gaines would likely start at right guard for a second consecutive game.
- Cardinals’ Andrew Billings: Iffy due to knee issue
  
  Billings (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
  
  Billings popped up on Thursday’s injury report due to a knee injury, suggesting that he tweaked his knee during Wednesday’s session. His status for Sunday’s NFC West tilt may not be officially known until 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. kickoff, when the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players. Roy Lopez is working through a groin injury, so the Cardinals enter the weekend with Walter Nolen and L.J. Collier as the only healthy defensive tackles on the active roster, though defensive ends Darius Robinson and Jordan Burch could also operate in the interior if need be.
- Cardinals’ Roy Lopez: Draws questionable tag vs. Seattle
  
  Lopez (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
  
  Lopez logged an LP/DNP/LP practice log this week while working through a groin injury that he may have picked up in Week 1 against the Chargers, when he logged four tackles (two solo). Andrew Billings (knee) is listed as questionable, so L.J. Collier and Walter Nolen would both see a sizable workload increase if one or both of Lopez and Billings were to be ruled out for Sunday’s NFC West tilt.
