PHOENIX (AP) Leila Lacan scored a career-high 26 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field to lead the Connecticut Sun to a 96-83 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night in the first of back-to-back meetings between the teams.

The Sun (7-18) have won consecutive games for just the second time this season and are 5-3 in their last eight.

Kennedy Burke had 13 points, Brittney Griner and Aaliyah Edwards scored 12 apiece and Diamond Miller added 11 for the Sun.

Kahleah Copper had 21 points to lead the Mercury (8-18), who have lost five straight. Alyssa Thomas had 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Valeriane Ayayi scored 13 points and DeWanna Bonner grabbed 10 rebounds to go with eight points.

Lacan hit a 3-pointer, converted a three-point play and then made a layup that capped an 11-0 run and gave Connecticut a 19-point lead with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter.

The Mercury were scoreless for nearly four minutes, went without a made field goal for almost five and committed eight of their 13 turnovers in the second quarter.

Griner, who spent her first 11 WNBA seasons with the Mercury, played just her second game in Phoenix since she and the franchise parted ways following the 2024 season.

Saniya Rivers returned from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and had six points in 14 minutes off the bench for the Sun.

Monique Akoa Makani took an incidental elbow from Griner to the face in the opening seconds and went to the locker room briefly. The second-year guard finished scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting.

Aneesah Morrow (reconditioning) missed her fifth consecutive game.

The teams meet again Sunday in Phoenix.

2026 Open leaderboard: Live updates, coverage, scores and standings for Round 3 at Royal Birkdale

Live scores, updates and highlights from Moving Day at the 154th Open Championship

By Robby Kalland

& Patrick McDonald cbssports.com contributing

Controversy was abound entering the weekend at the 2026 Open Championship, as a two-stroke penalty assessed to Bryson DeChambeau at the end of his second round led to speculation that the two-time U.S. Open winner would not compete over the final 36 holes. Alas, cooler heads prevailed, DeChambeau is planning to play his scheduled tee time, and the final major of the season will continue unabated.

Unexpected leader Lucas Herbert will be in pole position when he takes the course on Saturday after tying a major championship record by scoring 62 on Friday. He holds a two-shot lead on Cameron Young, Jackson Suber and Ryan Gerard with DeChambeau, Si Woo Kim and Sam Burns, who also shot 62 on Friday, sitting one further back in a tie for 5th. Jon Rahm, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Alex Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler are all firmly in contention as Moving Day begins, but who will ascend to the top of the leaderboard before Sunday’s final round?

Wetherholt hits solo HR, Winn has 3 RBIs to lead the Cardinals past the D-backs 5-4

PHOENIX (AP) Rookie JJ Wetherholt hit a solo homer, Iván Herrera had the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 on Friday night.

Masyn Winn had a three-RBI night with a two-run single in the first and a sacrifice fly in the eighth.

In the decisive ninth, José Fermín led off with a single that deflected off the glove of closer Paul Sewald. Jimmy Crooks followed with a walk, Wetherholt lined a single to center to load the bases with no outs and Herrera lofted a fly ball to left that was deep enough to break the tie.

All-Star Riley O’Brien got his 25th save despite a eventful bottom of the ninth. The hard-throwing right-hander gave up a leadoff walk to Nolan Arenado before picking off pinch runner Jorge Barrosa. Tim Tawa followed with a two-out double but O’Brien caught Ketel Marte looking at strike three for the final out of the game.

Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy gave up two runs, including one earned, on six hits and a walk over 6 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old struck out five, walked one and has a 1.46 ERA over his last four starts.

The Cardinals led 4-2 in the eighth inning, but the D-backs tied it on Corbin Carroll’s two-run homer that barely cleared the fence and hit the foul pole in right. It was the All-Star’s first homer since June 17.

Wetherholt – who recently signed a $112.5 million, eight-year deal with the Cardinals through 2034 – reached base three times and crushed a 402-foot homer to right field in the fifth inning to give St. Louis a 3-2 advantage. It was the second baseman’s 14th long ball of the season.

D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly gave up three runs, but only one earned, over five innings.

The D-backs will start RHP Brandon Pfaadt (3-1, 4.70 ERA) on Saturday while the Cardinals counter with RHP Dustin May (5-6, 4.55).

LOSS

It’s University of Arizona night at the ballpark so of course I had to buy tickets! I love the way the Diamondbacks played at the end of the first half, winning their last four games on the road, including a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles. While the Cardinals were also impressive in the first half, I’m fading Friday night starter Michael McGreevy, who is 2-5 with a 4.20 ERA on the road this season. Arizona starter Merrill Kelly doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence either, but the team has won both of his starts in July. The Diamondbacks win more often than not with me in attendance so I’ll play the (unofficial) trend again on Friday.

Dbacks recap and notes
- Diamondbacks’ Michael Soroka: Will require rehab assignment
  
  Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Soroka (glute) will require a rehab start before returning to the Diamondbacks‘ rotation, Alex D’Agostino of SI.com reports.
  
  Soroka hasn’t pitched since June 19 but did throw a bullpen session Tuesday. Lovullo said Soroka’s timeline is somewhat up in the air, and it’s unclear when the right-hander will make his rehab start. With Zac Gallen (elbow) landing on the injured list this week, the Diamondbacks will need to continue to fill multiple holes in the rotation. Jose Cabrera will be an option to be called back up to Arizona.
- Diamondbacks’ Geraldo Perdomo: Gets cortisone shot in hand
  
  Perdomo received a cortisone injection in his left hand during the All-Star break this week, Alex D’Agostino of SI.com reports.
  
  The issue arose during last week’s series in San Diego, manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday. “He battles hand issues throughout the course of the year, ever since we’ve had him,” Lovullo said. “I was told it’s not going to hinder him whatsoever.” Perdomo posted an image on social media showing his left hand bandaged up. It’s unclear if he’ll be in the lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Cardinals.
- Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen: Awaiting second opinion on elbow
  
  Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Gallen is awaiting a second opinion on his injured right elbow, Alex D’Agostino of SI.com reports.
  
  Gallen was scheduled to start last Sunday’s game against the Dodgers but was scratched due to right elbow inflammation and subsequently placed on the 15-day injured list. “Gallen, we’re continuing to evaluate,” Lovullo said. “He is waiting for other opinions from other doctors. So we’ll just keep putting that off until we get everything complete.” Mitch Bratt was recently recalled from Triple-A Reno to take Gallen’s place in the rotation.
- Diamondbacks’ Tyler Locklear: Poised for promotion to majors
  
  The Diamondbacks will recall Locklear from Triple-A Reno prior to Friday’s game versus the Cardinals, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
  
  He will absorb the roster spot vacated by Tommy Troy (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Locklear missed the first month-plus of the season while continuing his recovery from left shoulder and left elbow surgeries, but he’s been swinging a red-hot bat at Reno in July, going 19-for-43 (.442) with five homers in 11 games. He could see regular playing time between first base and/or designated hitter.D

2026 Open leaderboard: Live updates, coverage, scores and standings for Round 2 at Royal Birkdale

Live scores, updates and highlights from the second round of the 154th Open Championship

By Robby Kalland

& Patrick McDonald of cbssports.com contributing

The second round of the 2026 Open Championship will see some of the game’s top stars jockeying for position at the top of the leaderboard, while a few pretournament favorites begin Friday with work to do just to make the weekend at Royal Birkdale. Despite light winds early, the course showed its quality as a major championship host, and as we’ve seen all year in the majors, a bunched leaderboard after the first round means chaos is likely ahead for Friday.

The overnight leader, Jackson Suber, will be off early. Headlining the chase pack are Cameron Young and Bryson DeChambeau, the former searching for his first major championship victory while the latter is trying to salvage his 2026 season after missing the cut in the first three majors. Also in the hunt entering the second round is the defending champion, Scottie Scheffler, who got off to a fast start in the first round before cooling off on the back nine. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick sit just outside the number, while Xander Schauffele is just inside.

Rory rolls in an early birdie to get onto the cutline at +1

According to Data Golf, the cutline has a 55% chance of falling at +1 by day’s end. Luckily for Rory McIlroy that is where the six-time major champion finds himself after making birdie on the par-4 2nd. He now looks to the leaders who stand at 5 under (again) with Jackson Suber (again) getting back to that figure as well as Shaun Norris.

I appreciated this graphic from the broadcast for drives on No. 2. I think the first reaction would be to suggest it is drier, but I actually think it’s because more players are hitting drivers. A more aggressive off the tee strategy will continue to be employed, especially by those who are behind the eight ball.

Ideal scoring conditions early once again

The golf course is playing nearly a full stroke UNDER par at the moment as the wind has taken the morning off and some friendly pin locations have allowed players to score. This is an ideal time to put some birdies on the board as Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick step onto the golf course with eyes on (1) making the cut and (2) playing themselves back into this tournament as the lead has dipped back down to 4 under with Pierceson Coody and Matt Wallace.

Speaking of Matt Wallace — look at this shirt. Reminds me of a lava lamp. (It’s too early for this).

Good morning as Round 2 of the 154th Open is underway

Apologies for the later wake up call, I just attempted to type my password into my laptop roughly 10 times and could not get it right due to the lack of sleep. Someone who slept well? That would be Matt Wallace who is 3 under through 12 holes and into a share of the lead at 4 under with the pair of debutants (Jackson Suber and Pierceson Coody).

Low man on the golf course is Eric Cole who is 6 under for his round and even par for his championship. He has moved up 102 spots to 40th on the leaderboard and should be able to make the cut if he gets this round in the house after opening with a 76.

Round 1 takeaways: Royal Birkdale open to interpretation

Bryson DeChambeau ranked first in driving distance during Round 1 of the 2026 Open, signing for a 3-under 67. Francesco Molinari ranked 150th and inked the same score. Tyrrell Hatton was second to DeChambeau with a 68, while Collin Morikawa was one behind Molinari in driving distance and tied the Englishman’s tally.

Royal Birkdale proved on Thursday what many already knew: There’s no one right answer to solve the riddle provided by the course. Players have their full bags at their disposal, and while some found answers, others will continue to search for them over the next 54 holes. That is the beauty of Royal Birkdale and this championship: The choose-your-own-adventure nature that unfolded on Thursday.

Francisco Alvarez homers twice as Mets beat Phillies 4-1 under smoky sky

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Francisco Alvarez homered twice, Brett Baty also went deep and the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Thursday night in the first major league game following the All-Star break.

The start time was pushed up an hour and the teams played under a hazy sky with diminishing air quality because of smoke that moved into the region from wildfires burning in Canada and Minnesota.

Christian Scott (3-1) pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for the Mets, who launched three solo homers off starter Aaron Nola.

New York slugger Juan Soto was removed in the eighth because of left calf soreness, but interim manager Andy Green said the All-Star outfielder is expected back in the lineup this weekend. Soto missed about 2 1/2 weeks in April with a right calf strain.

Alvarez drove a 1-2 slider over the center-field fence in the third. The catcher added his 11th homer of the season in the seventh, when he went back-to-back with Baty.

A.J. Ewing added an insurance run for the Mets with an RBI double in the ninth. Devin Williams got three quick outs for his 100th career save and 14th this season.

Scott allowed three hits and struck out seven, posting consecutive scoreless starts for the first time in his big league career. He nearly gave up a tying homer to the final batter he faced, but Kyle Schwarber’s long fly hit the railing atop the right-field wall and ricocheted back into play for a double.

Nola (3-7) gave up just one run and three hits through six innings, but Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly sent the right-hander back out for the seventh even though he had thrown 90 pitches and a reliever was ready in the bullpen. That’s when Nola served up back-to-back homers to Baty and Alvarez.

Trea Turner homered for Philadelphia in the eighth, the first home run by a right-handed hitter off Mets reliever Luke Weaver this season.

Weaver had gone 25 straight appearances without allowing an earned run. The streak dated to May 1 and was tied for the second-longest in team history.

Before the game, the Mets reinstated second baseman Marcus Semien from the injured list and designated infielder Zack Short for assignment. Semien didn’t play. He had been on the IL since June 25 with a left hip flexor strain.

After a rare Friday off, the Mets and Phillies resume their series on Saturday. LHP Sean Manaea (2-4, 4.56 ERA) is scheduled to start for New York against LHP Jesús Luzardo (8-4, 3.51).

View all 7 picks

Over 9.5-109

Over / Under

Picked Jul 16 @ 9:50 am, 1 unit on DraftKings

LOSS

We like runs to be scored in the opening game of the second half of the season. Christian Scott has been solid for the Mets, but he’s gone five innings or less in eight of 10 starts, and never made it six. Aaron Nola has been bad everywhere but way worse at home (6.81 ERA in eight starts). It’s possible neither pitcher goes more than give innings. Expect runs to be scored when moves are made; these have been the worst two bullpens in July, the Phillies boasting an 8.05 ERA, the Mets at 9.61. Teams are hitting .335 off Mets relievers for the month! In July, the Mets’ road OPS is .787, the Phillies at home are .860, solid marks.

Adam’s Pick

Under 16.5-127

Aaron Nola • Outs Recorded • Player Prop

Picked Jul 16 @ 6:41 am, 0.5 unit on Caesars

LOSS

Aaron Nola faced the Mets in mid-June and gave up seven hits across five innings and threw 90+ pitches, so they were able to work counts and record more than a hit per inning. The Mets and Phillies have Friday off, plus they just had the All-Star break, so there really is no need to put themselves in a bad spot here to lose a game because they need to keep Nola in for workload purposes. The bullpen should be ready to go and with the extra time off, I’m anticipating they try to work a few guys in, leaving Nola with a bit of a shorter runway. A bit of a speculative pick, but worth a shot with little MLB to bet on today.
