Raleigh's 39th home run leads Mariners to snap Brewers' 11-game win streak

Yahoo11 hours ago
SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 39th home run of the season, Logan Gilbert tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners snapped the Milwaukee Brewers' 11-game winning streak, 1-0 on Tuesday night.
Raleigh, who hadn't homered since July 11 against the Detroit Tigers, received an elevated fastball from Brewers right-hander Nick Mears (1-3) and hit it well past the right field wall.
The switch-hitting catcher, who won the All-Star Home Run Derby, provided all the offense on an evening headlined by the pitchers.
Gilbert (3-3) carried a perfect game bid into the fifth inning, and ended up yielding just two singles. The right-hander racked up 10 strikeouts against no walks while needing only 86 pitches to make it into the seventh inning, departing to a standing ovation.
Brewers' rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski was similarly brilliant. The righty struck out seven batters across 3 2/3 innings, yielding three hits while walking one. It wasn't until Misiorowski departed that the Mariners finally pushed a run across and set up closer Andrés Muñoz for his 22nd save of the season.
Key moment
Muñoz walked William Contreras and Jackson Chourio to put two runners aboard with one out in the ninth inning. But Muñoz struck out Isaac Collins and got Andrew Vaughn to ground out to end the threat.
Key stat
The Brewers' 11-game win streak was two victories shy of the Minnesota Twins for the longest win streak in the majors this season. The Twins won 13 consecutive games from May 3 to 19.
Up next
Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (8-2, 3.33 ERA) will start the final game of the series for Milwaukee. Right-hander Luis Castillo (7-5, 3.21) gets the ball for Seattle.

NASCAR's New San Diego Street Race Channels A Bit Of Top Gun Energy

Huntington Beach, CA - September 30: A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet during the Pacific Airshow in ... More Huntington Beach, CA, on Friday, September 30, 2022. (Photo by Jeff Gritchen/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images) In yet another case of the latest worst kept secret in sports, NASCAR confirmed Wednesday they will stage a street race in San Diego next June. But this won't be just another street race, something NASCAR showed they could pull off in Chicago. The sport will be trading checkered flags for sea legs and not only stage a street race but for the first time a race on an active military base. The event will be held on Naval Base Coronado, an operational Navy complex better known for launching aircraft carriers and training elite forces than hosting NASCAR stock cars. Until now. The three-day event will feature all three of NASCAR's national series and will no doubt have quite a Top Gun vibe. After all, some of the most famous Top Gun scenes were filmed in the same place that Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott will be fighting for spots in less than a year. It's all part of the United States Navy's 250th anniversary celebration. 'This is a powerful tribute to the values we share: grit, teamwork, and love of country,' said Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan. 'From the flight deck to the finish line, this collaboration reflects the operational intensity and unity of purpose that define both the United States Navy and NASCAR.' The Cup race, set for Sunday, June 21, will be the first inside the secure perimeter of a fully operational military base—an environment that comes complete with F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, 32,000 military personnel, perhaps the most intimidating track marshals in history. Broadcast duties for the event are being split across NASCAR's partners: the Cup race will close out Prime Video's five-race broadcast slate for 2026, while the Xfinity Series heads to The CW and the Truck Series lands with FOX Sports. The announcement marks another aggressive—and rather bold—move by NASCAR to expand its reach with unconventional venues and novel partnerships. From the LA Coliseum to downtown Chicago, and now onto a Navy base, the series is doubling down on spectacle. And when it comes to spectacle, nothing quite says 'American motorsport' like full-throttle NASCAR race cars echoing off a hangar full of fighter jets. 'This is the first time we're taking NASCAR racing to the heart of an active military base,' said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR's Executive VP of Racing Innovation. 'We're honored to be part of the Navy's 250th celebration, and we're ready to deliver a race experience unlike anything fans—or service members—have ever seen.' The course layout will be revealed at a later date, though one assumes it will be slightly more forgiving than an aircraft carrier's arresting cable system. Overseeing the project is Amy Lupo, newly appointed president of NASCAR San Diego. Lupo's background includes more than two decades at ESPN, where she helped globalize the X Games, and she was instrumental in launching the Clash at the Coliseum in LA. She also brings local experience—Lupo once called San Diego home and still resides in Southern California. 'This is a huge win for San Diego,' said Mark Neville, CEO of Sports San Diego, which is working alongside NASCAR on the event. 'This will have a major impact on the region's tourism industry—and frankly, you can't beat Naval Base Coronado for a backdrop.' Meanwhile, one has to wonder if Tom Cruise just perked up somewhere and asked his agent, 'Is there still time to get the Maverick car on the grid?'

Royals' Rich Hill, on 14th team, becomes oldest active player in MLB

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Rich Hill tied an MLB record during the team's 6-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday at Wrigley Field. Hill, 45, made his Royals' debut in the loss and tied reliever Edwin Jackson for having played for his 14th different team in his MLB career. Hill's return to the major leagues also made him the oldest active player in the sport. The left-handed starting pitcher pitched five innings and yielded six hits and three runs (two unearned) with two walks and a strikeout. "He battled his butt off out there," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said postgame. "It was tough work out there early." "He had a couple of walks in there, but he made a lot of competitive pitches. Some of them didn't go his way, but we didn't play tight enough behind him to keep it where it was. Otherwise, he's probably looking at one, maybe no runs." Hill had a grueling second inning, as he threw 31 of his 90 pitches in that frame as his defense betrayed him. He gave up two unearned runs that inning. "You know, the second inning was a little bit of a grind to get through," Hill said. "But overall, I felt like the ball came out of my hand pretty much the way I wanted to." With the start, Hill's 21st season in the big leagues is underway. He became the oldest player to start in a game since Jamie Moyer did at 49 years old with the Colorado Rockies on May 27, 2012. At 45 years and 133 days, Hill became the oldest player in Royals history, passing Hall of Fame right-hander Gaylord Perry, who appeared in two games with the Royals in 1983 after he turned 45. Hill was called up from Triple-A to join the rotation for Michael Lorenzen, who didn't pitch due to an oblique strain. Quatraro did not say when Hill would pitch next, but the 6-foot-5 lefty wants to pitch again. "It's easy to say that you love it, but when you know you have more to give, it's tough to walk away," Hill said. In his 21-year career, Hill has played for the Cubs, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, the then-Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Angels, New York Yankees, the then-Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, and the Royals. The Royals (49-53) will take on the Cubs (60-41) in the final game of their three-game series on Wednesday at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Braves option right-handers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero to Triple-A Gwinnett

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves optioned right-handers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero, who combined to give up nine runs in Tuesday night's 9-0 loss to San Francisco, to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. Daniel (0-1, 5.40) allowed five earned runs in five innings. Suero gave up four runs in two innings. The two combined to issue six walks, adding to their woes. The Braves recalled left-hander Dylan Dodd and right-hander Hunter Stratton before Wednesday's game against the Giants. Dodd has a 3.75 ERA in 11 games, all in relief. The Braves acquired Stratton from Pittsburgh on July 1. ___ AP MLB:
