Chisholm Jr. homers in 500th game and Yankees reach halfway point with 3-0 victory over A's
Chisholm hit his fifth homer in 21 games since returning from an oblique injury on June 3 and gave the Yankees the lead in the second by driving a cutter from A's starter Mitch Spence (2-3) to the second deck in right field. As he rounded third, the third baseman shrugged his shoulders and did a little shuffle before crossing the plate.

Dustin May has best start of season as Dodgers sweep White Sox
Dustin May pitches in the first inning against the White Sox on Thursday. (Jessie Alcheh / Associated Press) Dave Roberts had some goals in mind for starting pitcher Dustin May on Thursday. And they had little to do with the final result. 'The first thing is his ability to go deeper in games,' the Dodger manager said. 'The sweeper has got to be a more effective pitch. His sinker has got to be more effective. Advertisement 'I know he's working through some delivery things with the pitching coaches. I'm kind waiting to see what to expect tonight.' May would give Roberts far more than he asked for, setting down the first 16 batters in order and pitching into the eighth inning for the first time in his career in a 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. The win was the Dodgers' fourth in a row and ninth in their last 10 games. The start was May's 16th of the season and the seven innings he threw gave him 89.2 for the year, both career highs. Consistency, however, has been an issue. He won just once in June, when his 5.67 ERA was highest among Dodger starters.

The Dodgers needed just three batters to give the right-hander the lead with Shohei Ohtani drawing a lead-off walk, then scoring on Freddie Freeman's one-out double into the right-field corner. Freeman padded that lead in the third, going the other way and looping a two-run double into the left-field corner. It was Freeman's first three-RBI game in nearly two months. When Michael Conforto followed two batters later with a two-run homer, it was 5-0 Dodgers. Advertisement And the lead could have been larger: Freeman lost a homer of his own in his next at-bat when Chicago right fielder Michael Tauchman reached a couple of rows into the right-field bleachers near the foul pole to bring his fifth-inning drive back. Mookie Betts closed the Dodgers' scoring with a one-out solo homer in the seventh, just his second since May 19.

He took a shutout into the eighth before Baldwin ended that, too, with a two-run homer. Advertisement May got help from a couple of sterling defensive plays, with Conforto taking a hit away from Miguel Vargas with a sliding catch in left to the start the fifth and Freeman diving to his right to stab Josh Rojas' low line drive to start the sixth. Relievers Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates followed May to the mound, throwing a hitless inning apiece to close out the win. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.

The Dolphins have agreed to trade three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, per multiple reports. Advertisement Fitzpatrick, 28, will return to Miami, where his NFL career began as the Dolphins' 11th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey smiles as he speaks during a news conference at the NFL football team's training facility, Tuesday, July 25, 2023, in Miami Gardens, Fla. AP Ramsey confirmed the trade, posting Monday to X, 'Break my own news!' with the hashtag, 'Here We Go.' The seven-time Pro Bowler started all 17 games for the Dolphins in 2024, recording two interceptions, 11 pass breakups, 60 tackles and one sack. In the months following the Dolphins' disappointing 8-9 campaign, it was reported in April that the team and Ramsey were mutually exploring trade options. Minkah Fitzpatrick was also part of the Steelers-Dolphins blockbuster in June 2025. Getty Images Ramsey, who has 24 career interceptions, will receive a $1.5 million raise this season, bringing his 2025 salary up to $26.6 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, veteran Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is still without a long-term deal. Advertisement During a Monday appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show,' ESPN's Schefter said, 'Everybody just had assumed rightfully that the two sides will figure it out, but I don't think they're very close right now. And I don't think that he's particularly pleased.' In addition to Ramsey, the Dolphins also sent tight end Jonnu Smith and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick to complete the deal. Jonnu Smith during his time with the Dolphins in December Steelers traded for Smith after tight end Donald Parham Jr. reportedly tore his Achilles during OTAs on June 3. Smith, also at the center of offseason trade buzz, will get a one-year contract extension for $12 million, as confirmed by his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. Advertisement It's another reunion for Smith and Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith after they were together in Tennessee and Atlanta. The Steelers have been active this offseason, signing former MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal earlier this month — and acquiring wideout DK Metcalf and cornerback Darius Slay. The Steelers open the 2025 season against the Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 7.
