SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ronny Mauricio and Juan Soto homered in the seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 on Sunday to match a season best with their seventh straight win.
Mauricio had a career-high four hits, going 4 for 4 with two doubles and a tying homer from the bottom spot in the batting order. Jeff McNeil doubled twice to help the Mets complete a three-game sweep and extend their NL East lead to 1 1/2 games over Philadelphia.
Matt Chapman homered twice and drove in all three runs for the Giants, who loaded the bases in the ninth on two walks and a hit batter. Edwin Diaz struck out Willy Adames and Chapman to end it.
The Mets, who also had a seven-game winning streak in April, trailed 3-2 following Chapman's second homer, a two-run drive off starter Kodai Senga in the fifth.
Mauricio tied it when the rookie drove a 1-0 slider from reliever Randy Rodriguez (3-2) into McCovey Cove leading off the seventh. After Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor struck out, Soto hit his team-leading 25th home run to left, giving the Mets a 4-3 lead.
They added an insurance run in the ninth on consecutive doubles by Mauricio and Nimmo.
Jose Butto (3-1), the second of four Mets relievers, retired three batters for the win. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect seventh in his New York debut, and Díaz worked the ninth for his 23rd save.
Senga walked five in five innings. He allowed three runs and four hits. Key moment
Mauricio shut down a potential Giants rally when he fielded Adames' slow grounder in front of third base and then quickly reversed direction to tag out Heliot Ramos trying to advance from second. Key stat
Rodriguez had allowed only one home run all season before the Mets got to him twice in one inning. Up next
Mets RHP Frankie Montas (3-1, 4.62 ERA) faces the Padres in San Diego on Monday.
Carson Whisenhunt, the Giants' top pitching prospect, will make his major league debut Monday against Pittsburgh.

New York Giants' Jameis Winston hilariously compares Jaxson Dart to Taysom Hill

This version of the New York Giants is unlike the ones that we've seen over the past decade or so. This is a diverse group of talents and personalities that are ushering in a much-needed breath of fresh air. Perhaps the most colorful character of the bunch so far has been the veteran quarterback Jameis Winston. Entering his 11th season in the NFL, Winston, a former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall NFL draft selection, has a huge catalog of experience to draw on from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Winston is the perfect blend of experience and attitude for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to be fostered under, and he knows what to do and what not to do as a professional football player. Winston has essentially seen it all since coming into the NFL with Tampa Bay in 2015. He's been a franchise quarterback, a backup, and a reclamation project at different points in his career. "It's fun learning a new offense because it keeps you in the curious mode," he told reporters on Sunday. "You're asking consistent questions, you're asking, 'Hey, what does this look like?' You're asking for clips like, 'How does this look vs. this coverage?' I love that, and it just brings out the little kid in me again. "Sometimes when you get continuity, you're always thinking about the next step and you don't get to focus on just the basics, especially when you're installing. Now, as (Mike) Kafka is installing, I get to learn the basics, and as camp prolongs, I will continue to learn, 'Okay, now this is why we're making this transition. This is why we're adding this look, route to specific concepts.'" With the Giants, Winston is here for depth and is under no illusions about his status and his role. He is behind Russell Wilson on the depth chart and next to Dart, for the moment, but he knows what the future holds. He's been here before. When Winston was with the New Orleans Saints, he would drive the team the length of the field only to be replaced in the red zone by the versatile tight ned/quarterback/fullback Taysom Hill. These days, Winston is being asked to step aside for Dart, not for Dart to run, but in general. It happened to close out practice on Sunday. "Man, you know I'm used to it. If you remember in New Orleans, Taysom Hill -- I used to drive the team all the way the field and then Taysom Hill used to come in and run quarterback power and score a touchdown, so I was like, 'Hey, Jaxson is Tayson Hill,'" Winston said. "Tayson's from Idaho but Jaxson's from Utah. I was like, 'It's that Utah connection.' Every time I have a good drive, they're going to take me out and put a kid from Utah in to come score a touchdown. No, but he needs those reps. He needs those red zone reps. I've been in the red zone a lot and that was a good drive. I knew I was going to end up in the end zone, so it allowed me to visualize myself being in the end zone again." The Giants knew what they were doing by bringing in Winston. He is a positive influence in the quarterback room, the locker room, the huddle, and the sidelines. His demeanor and experience are taking the pressure off both Wilson and Dart while giving the Giants another option under center if needed.

MLB trade deadline: Live updates, news, transactions, rumors as Royals reportedly extend Seth Lugo, Yankees add Rosario, McMahon

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, and some teams are already making major moves. The Arizona Diamondbacks unofficially kicked things off last week by trading first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners, and several teams added their hats to the ring over the weekend. The Yankees made two acquisitions in Ryan McMahon and Ahmed Rosario, while the Mets traded for Gregory Soto. The action should continue in the coming days as MLB's contenders scramble to add talent with the playoffs two months away. There aren't any superstars expected to be on the move in this deadline, but every contender has a hole to fill. No team is running away from the field in the standings, which means some of teams will likely need to do something to stand out. The deadline officially hits on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. After that, the only way teams can add a player to their roster is calling up minor leaguers or signing free agents, and any player who isn't in the organization by the end of August is ineligible for the postseason. Until then, here's everything you should know about what teams are up to: Yahoo Sports' top 26 players of the MLB trade deadline Each contender's biggest need, including the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen All 30 MLB teams classified, from all-in buyers to all-out sellers Six trades Yahoo Sports wants to see MLB Pipeline's list of top 100 prospects Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from the 2025 MLB trade deadline:

5 times Donald Trump has been accused of cheating at golf

Well, it's happened again: Donald Trump has been accused of cheating at golf. There's a clip that's gone viral showing the United States president driving up in a golf cart while a caddie appears to drop a ball in front of a sand trap. We don't know anything about what's going on in the video, but it would be far from the first time that Trump was accused of cheating at the game of golf. We'll sum up a few times that accusations have flown from some famous names and celebrities. Here's a little bit of history as the video continues to get shared everywhere: Oscar De La Hoya This is way back from 2016, and here's the quote to the Associated Press: "Donald, what he does is he tees off first so we go off to our balls and what do we see but Donald Trump right in the middle of the fairway," De La Hoya said. "He said, 'Hey look, I found my first ball.'" On the next hole, a par-3, De La Hoya said Trump hit into some bushes and again went ahead of the other players in his cart. When the rest of the group got to the green, he said Trump's ball was 3 feet from the hole. "And by the way I'm picking it up," De La Hoya quoted Trump as saying. "It's a gimme." Various golfers Former Sports Illustrated scribe Rick Reilly wrote a book called Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump that has anecdotes like these (via 'I played with him once,' says Bryan Marsal, longtime Winged Foot member and chair of the coming 2020 Men's U.S. Open. 'It was a Saturday morning game. We go to the first tee and he couldn't have been nicer. But then he said, 'You see those two guys? They cheat. See me? I cheat. And I expect you to cheat because we're going to beat those two guys today.'… So, yes, it's true, he's going to cheat you. But I think Donald, in his heart of hearts, believes that you're gonna cheat him, too. So if it's the same, if everybody's cheating, he doesn't see it as really cheating.' Samuel L. Jackson The actor said this in 2016, via Page Six: Asked who the better golfer was, Jackson said with a smile, 'Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat.' Alice Cooper In 2012, the rock legend had this to say via News 12: In a 2012 interview with Q magazine, Cooper mentioned Trump's golf rule bending ways. "The worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump one time. That's all I'm going to say," he told the magazine.
