Kyle Schwarber homers twice as Phillies outslug Yankees

Reuters2 days ago
July 26 - Kyle Schwarber homered twice and J.T. Realmuto hit a tiebreaking three-run blast in the seventh inning as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies pulled away for a 12-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday.
Schwarber hit his 35th and 36 home runs, belting a tying two-run shot off New York starter Will Warren in the fifth and a two-run drive off Ian Hamilton in the eighth for an 8-5 lead.
Schwarber notched his 1,000th career hit on his first homer and recorded his 33rd career multi-homer game. He has six home runs in seven games since the All-Star break.
Schwarber's second homer occurred after Philadelphia entered the seventh with a 3-2 deficit after Giancarlo Stanton homered to put the Yankees on top in the sixth. The Phillies quickly began a rally by getting singles from Trea Turner and Schwarber off Tim Hill (3-3).
After Bryce Harper advanced the runners with a groundout to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Luke Weaver took over on the mound. Nick Castellanos hit a grounder to Goldschmidt, who was playing slightly off the bag, and the first baseman's throw sailed high and past catcher Austin Wells as Turner scored the tying run.
Following Goldschmidt's third error of the season, Realmuto hammered Weaver's 0-1 changeup into the left field seats for a 6-3 lead.
Bryson Stott contributed a two-run single in a four-run ninth inning for the Phillies, who finished with 14 hits and put up 10 runs in the final three innings. Turner capped the scoring with an RBI triple.
Cody Bellinger and Wells hit solo homers off Philadelphia starter Taijuan Walker in the first two innings. New York's Anthony Volpe homered in the seventh off Jordan Romano before Aaron Judge hit a sacrifice fly to get the Yankees within 6-5.
Walker allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked none.
Tanner Banks (3-2) notched the final out of the sixth before Romano allowed two runs in the seventh. Orion Kerkering pitched the eighth and before Philadelphia's second four-run inning.
Warren gave up two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked three.
By taking the opener of a three-game series, the Phillies earned their third win in four games.
The Yankees, who lost for the sixth time in nine games, acquired Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on Friday to be their everyday third baseman.

Marcus Morris Sr's brother and agent slam NBA star's 'insane' arrest 'real' reasons he was detained

The twin brother of NBA free agent Marcus Morris Sr. and the player's agent are disputing the reason for his shocking arrest in Florida on Sunday. Morris was arrested at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. According to arrest records in Broward County, Morris is being held on a charge of Fraud - Writing a Check With Insufficient Funds. But hours after the arrest, Morris' brother Markieff posted an angry statement on X, formerly Twitter: 'The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family,' the post read. 'They could have came to the crib for all that. 'When y'all hear the real story on this s**t man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird shit gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!' Nearly half an hour later, Yony Noy - who represents both brothers - posted a statement of his own: 'Just so everyone understands this is zero fraud here or whatever crap outlets have said regarding fake checks or whatever the hell. This is due to an outstanding marker with a casino. Apparently if you have over $1,200 they can issue a warrant for your arrest. Absolute insanity!' A source told Daily Mail that the casino in question is in Las Vegas. According to the websites of multiple law firms, in the state of Nevada, an unpaid marker is treated as the equivalent of writing a bad check. Failing to pay a marker is treated as a class D felony and carries a penalty of fines and up to four years in prison. The Broward County Sheriff's Office did not immediately return a request for comment from Marcus has had a 13-year NBA career, beginning when the Houston Rockets selected him 14th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft. He would go on to play for the Rockets, the Phoenix Suns, the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks, and the Los Angeles Clippers. Most recently, he played the 2023-24 season with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This incident is not Marcus' first run-in with the law. In 2012, he was arrested in Lawrence, Kansas on a battery charge after he and another person punched a bar employee while watching a Kansas-Missouri basketball game. Marcus entered a diversion agreement, paid a $300 diversion fee, and $60 in court fees. He also agreed to not come in contact with the victim or the bar for one year. At the time the diversion agreement was made, the prosecutor said that the case would be dismissed if Morris fulfilled the terms and remained 'out of trouble' during the 12 month period. Three years later, Marcus, Markeiff, Baltimore Ravens safety Gerald Bowman, and two other assailants were arrested in connection with the assault of 36-year-old Eric Hood in Arizona. Both Marcus and Markeiff were playing on the Phoenix Suns at the time. Hood, who had mentored the Morris twins, was allegedly 'sending an inappropriate text message' to the twins' mother. After a trial, the twins and Bowman were found not guilty while the other two assailants confessed.

Agency: 49ers signing veteran CB Eli Apple

July 28 - Veteran cornerback Eli Apple will have a chance to play for his seventh NFL team after agreeing to a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, his agency said on social media Sunday. The 49ers had not made an announcement as of Sunday night. Apple, who turns 30 on Aug. 9, was limited by a hamstring injury last season and played in only four regular-season games and one playoff appearance for the Los Angeles Chargers, making two tackles. He has 383 career tackles, six interceptions, 61 passes defended, three forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in 102 regular-season games (82 starts) for the New York Giants (2016-18), New Orleans Saints (2018-19), Carolina Panthers (2020), Cincinnati Bengals (2021-22), Miami Dolphins (2023) and Chargers. The Giants selected Apple with the 10th overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. --Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers star Tarron Jackson rushed to the hospital after 'scary' collapse

San Francisco defensive lineman Tarron Jackson was taken to the hospital after collapsing on the field during 49ers training camp. The 27-year-old went down after he was blocked on a play late in practice. He remained on the ground for several minutes before being taken off on a stretcher. An ambulance then rushed Jackson to the hospital but coach Kyle Shanahan later revealed that he was conscious, able to communicate and feel all his extremities. 'So hopefully, we cleared the real scary stuff, and hopefully we´ll get some good news on his neck,' Shanahan said. The 49ers were able to finish practice after Jackson was taken off the field. 'It's always hard... especially when guys watch that,' Shanahan said. 'We were close to him, so we could hear him talking, we could see everything moving, so I just told the guys that, which I think eases them up a little bit for the biggest fears and asked them if they're OK to continue to go. They all yelled "yes," and then we finished our last period and a half.' The 27-year-old Jackson was a sixth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2021 and has played 24 career games for the Eagles and Carolina. He signed with San Francisco in the offseason. The 49ers activated second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall from the physically unable to perform list earlier in the day and he practiced for the first time this summer. 'It was nice,' Shanahan said. 'His rep count was really low. I think he got like eight reps today, but we´ll see how he did with recovery and stuff. But I didn´t hear any complaints and good first day back.' Pearsall had been out since injuring his hamstring during the offseason program. The Niners are counting on a big season from the 2024 first-round pick after trading away Deebo Samuel and with Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss the start of the season recovering from knee surgery. Pearsall had a difficult rookie season, missing almost all of camp with injuries to his hamstring and shoulder and then sitting out the first half of the season after being shot in a robbery attempt in San Francisco. Pearsall returned in Week 7 and finished the season with 31 catches for 400 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Pearsall had a strong finish to the season with 14 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the final two games. Cornerback Renardo Green was out after hurting his hamstring in practice on Friday. Shanahan said that he will likely miss a couple of weeks but could return the week of Aug. 11 when the Niners prepare for their second exhibition game against the Raiders. Veteran cornerback Eli Apple agreed to a deal with San Francisco on Sunday, according to his agency Universal Sports Management. The 29-year-old Apple has played 102 games, including four with the Chargers last season. Receiver Jacob Cowing has a similar timeline to Green after hurting his hamstring on the first day of practice last Wednesday. Receiver Jauan Jennings left practice early with a calf injury but quarterback Brock Purdy returned to practice Sunday after missing a session on Friday for personal reasons. 'Brock had some family stuff yesterday, all good news,' Shanahan said. 'I'm sure he'll tell you guys when he talks to you guys next. But Brock was back and didn't miss a beat and it was a good day off for him.'
