Marlins stomp Reds to win 11th straight on the road

Reutersa day ago
July 9 - Xavier Edwards had two hits and three RBIs for the visiting Miami Marlins in their 12-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of their four-game series on Tuesday night.
Jesus Sanchez, Agustin Ramirez and Heriberto Hernandez also had two hits each, Kyle Stowers and Dane Myers both had two RBIs and Ramirez, Connor Norby and Liam Hicks each scored twice for the Marlins, who have won 11 straight road games
Miami starter Eury Perez (2-2) allowed one run and two hits over five innings, striking out eight without a walk. The 6-foot-8 right-hander has surrendered just four runs and five hits over his past three starts covering 15 1/3 innings (2.35 ERA).
Reds starter Nick Martinez (6-9) was looking to win his third straight outing, but was tagged for a career-high 10 runs and seven hits in 5-plus innings. He struck out two and walked three.
Cincinnati has lost four in a row to match its longest losing streak of the season.
Reds second baseman Matt McLain lined the first pitch he saw from Perez over the fence in the left to give the Reds a 1-0 lead.
Martinez retired the first six batters before the first seven reached base in the Marlins' seven-run third inning.
Hicks walked to start the inning and beat the throw to second from shortstop Elly De La Cruz after he backhanded a grounder in the hole by Hernandez. Myers then lined a single up the middle to score Hicks and tie it 1-1.
Edwards doubled off the base of the wall in right to score two more runs and give the Marlins a 3-1 lead.
Sanchez followed with a broken-bat single off the glove of De La Cruz, two more singles by Otto Lopez and Ramirez plated another run, and Stowers and Norby followed with sacrifice flies to make it 7-1.
The Marlins loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth off Martinez, ending his afternoon.
The bullpen couldn't bail him out, as Scott Barlow walked the first batter he faced to force in a run, another scored on a double-play groundout and Edwards made it 10-1 with a single to left.
Miami loaded the bases again in the eighth with no outs and the Reds brought in catcher Jose Trevino, who limited Myers to a sacrifice fly that made it 11-1.
After the Marlins added another run off Trevino in the ninth, the Reds scored an unearned run in the bottom of the inning.

Katie Taylor takes aim at ‘whining' Amanda Serrano ahead of trilogy clash

Katie Taylor says she has had enough of the 'whining and complaining' from Amanda Serrano as the pair prepare to go to war for a third time. The rivals came face to face at their press conference in New York on Wednesday ahead of their highly-anticipated trilogy bout over Taylor's undisputed super-lightweight titles, which takes place on Friday at the iconic Madison Square Garden. , having already put on two fight-of-the-year contenders that both went to the wire. Taylor, who edged Serrano in both clashes on the scorecards, last defeated the Puerto Rican star via unanimous decision in Texas back in November, all three judges scoring the fight 95-94 in the Irish fighter's favour. But controversy erupted post-fight when the Puerto Rican star used her interview on Netflix to accuse Taylor of an intentional headbutt which left her with a gruesome cut above her eye. Taylor said: 'The fact is, I am 2-0 against her. Opinions are opinions, but facts are facts. 'I'm just sick of the complaining and whining from your team.' 'The only thing that matters is that I'm 2-0 against her. I plan on staying unbeaten against her.' The fight falls under the banner of Jake Paul 's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), with their second fight acting as the co-main event for Pau l's carnivalesque meeting with 58-year-old Mike Tyson. When asked what she planned on improving in the latest rematch, Seranno said: 'I'm gonna use my head, but not the way it was used on me. 'We're going to be smarter, work smarter.' While Taylor's fourth-round headbutt in the previous fight was attributed as accidental, Taylor was deducted a point in the eighth round after repeatedly being warned against leading with the head. Feeling the Country Wicklow boxer was fortunate to leave the AT&T Stadium with her undisputed champion status in tact, Serrano herself asked Taylor why she would opt to take a third fight and disrupt her winning streak. 'I'm taking the fight again because I love the challenge of this,' Taylor replied. 'I don't think it really matters that I'm 2-0, I just want to take the biggest challenges, the biggest fights.' The pair's November encounter was a brutal back-and-forth affair through 10 rounds, which mirrored their classic initial meeting at Madison Square Garden in 2022. Taylor and Serrano embraced each other after the bell, but the heavily pro-Serrano crowd voiced their displeasure as the result was announced.

Former Olympic wrestler and MMA star Ben Askren recovering from double lung transplant

Former Olympic wrestler and MMA star Ben Askren, who has been hospitalized in Wisconsin after a severe case of pneumonia, said in a post on social media Wednesday that he had undergone a double lung transplant and is in recovery. Askren said during the Instagram video that he recalls very little of what happened over a monthlong stretch from late May through the first two days of July. His wife, Amy, had said in a series of social media posts that Askren was put on a ventilator in June and placed on the donor list for a lung transplant on June 24. 'No recollection, zero idea, no idea what happened,' Askren said of most of the past six weeks. "I just read through my wife's journal. It's like a movie. It's ridiculous. I only died four times, where the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds.' Askren said he lost about 50 pounds during the 45-day stretch. 'The thing that was most impeccable to me was all the love I felt,' Askren said. 'It was almost like I got to have my own funeral.' The 40-year-old Askren was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but has lived primarily in Wisconsin, where he runs a youth wrestling academy. He won back-to-back NCAA titles at Missouri and competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics for the U.S. before moving into MMA, where he fought for Bellator and ONE Championship before moving into the UFC. Askren retired from MMA after a loss to Demian Maia in October 2019. He had a record of 19-2 with one no contest. Askren made a brief return to combat sports in April 2021, when he fought social media star Jake Paul in a boxing match. Paul won by technical knockout in the first round of a fight that sold about 500,000 on pay-per-view. ___
