Denny Hamlin survives rain delay, overtime finish to win for 2nd straight year at dover
DOVER, Del. – Denny Hamlin went back-to-back at Dover Motor Speedway, holding a late lead through a rain delay and an overtime finish Sunday for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver's series-best fourth victory of the season. Hamlin won in the No. 11 Toyota for the second straight time at Dover to add to wins this season at Martinsville, Darlington, and Michigan. Hamlin has 58 NASCAR Cup Series victories, leaving him two short of Kevin Harvick for 10th on the career list. The 44-year-old Virginia driver might hit that mark this season as he chases his first career Cup championship. 'Winning here at Dover is super special to me,' Hamlin said. 'This is a place that I've not been very good at the first half of my career. To go back-to-back here the last two years is amazing.' Hamlin took the checkered flag days after he suffered a setback in court with his own 23XI Racing team's federal antitrust suit against NASCAR. On Thursday, a federal judge rejected a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they battle NASCAR in court, meaning their six cars will race as open entries this weekend at Dover, next week at Indianapolis, and perhaps longer than that, in a move the teams say would put them at risk of going out of business. Hamlin vowed this weekend all will be exposed if the case goes to its scheduled Dec. 1 trial date. The courtroom drama hasn't affected Hamlin's performance on the track. Hamlin held off JGR teammate Chase Briscoe for the victory. Hendrick Motorsports drivers took the next two spots with Alex Bowman third and Kyle Larson fourth. Hamlin held off Kyle Larson down the stretch last season to earn the second of his three career wins at the Monster Mile. The first July Cup race at Dover since 1969 started with steamy weather, and drivers battled the conditions inside the car during a relatively clean race until rain fell late and red-flagged the race with 14 laps left. Hamlin said that during the break he planned to change his firesuit – temperatures inside the car soared to 140 degrees. He also returned to the car after the 56-minute delay with old tires. Hamlin had enough to win at Dover and park the Toyota in victory lane. 'We've got a lot left,' Hamlin said. Up next: It's off to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Kyle Larson won last season on the oval after a four-year break on the road course.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman day to day after being hit on the wrist by a pitch
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman left Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning. Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman is day to day with a left wrist contusion. 'I held my breath,' Roberts said. 'I think we all did because you know when you're scuffling and to potentially lose a guy for four to six weeks is obviously very scary. But you know, exhale, sigh of relief after hearing that it (the X-ray) was negative.' Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana threw an 88 mph sinker that ran inside and hit Freeman in the wrist as he attempted to hold up a partial swing. Freeman immediately walked toward the dugout, stopped briefly to speak with Roberts and a team trainer, and proceeded down the dugout steps and into the tunnel. Freeman broke his left wrist in 2017 after being hit by a pitch with the Atlanta Braves. 'He just doesn't come out of games,' Roberts said. 'And so I didn't know why he was walking toward me. Then hearing him saying that it was his wrist and can't continue, yeah (I was) really worried.' Roberts said the team will follow up with Freeman on Monday before determining when he will play again. Hyeseong Kim replaced Freeman as a pinch-runner, and Miguel Rojas took over at first base the following inning.

Christian Walker's go-ahead hr in the 6th inning propels astros past mariners 11-3
Christian Walker hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning as the Houston Astros rallied from an early three-run deficit and beat the Seattle Mariners 11–3 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep. Walker, who entered the game hitting .333 in July, hit his third homer of the month and 13th of the season to left field off Mariners All-Star Bryan Woo (8-5). Two batters later, Taylor Trammell added his second homer of the season to double the Astros lead. Trammell added a two-run double in the seventh inning. The Astros were resilient after falling behind 3–0 after three innings. They tied the game in the fifth on a fielding error by J.P. Crawford and a two-run double by Cam Smith. Houston starter Hunter Brown allowed three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts in four innings. Four relievers worked five shutout innings with right-hander Kaleb Ort (2-1) earning the win. Key moment: It briefly appeared the Mariners had cut their deficit to one run when J.P. Crawford doubled to left field in the sixth. Miles Mastrobuoni tried to score from first and was originally ruled safe on a close play at the plate, but the Astros challenged the call, which was overturned. Key stat: The Astros have scored at least nine runs in a game 11 times this season. They are 11–0 in those games. Up next: The Astros continue their road trip on Monday at Arizona with left-hander Colton Gordon (3-2 4.67 ERA) starting. The Mariners will send RHP George Kirby (4-4 4.50) in the opener of a three-game series against visiting Milwaukee.
