Quinn Priester Throws 7 Dominant Innings As Brewers Blank Rockies 5-0
Priester (6–2) allowed a one-out single to Michael Toglia in the fifth and walked a pair while throwing 95 pitches in the longest and best start of his three major league seasons. Aaron Ashby and DL Hall completed the one-hitter. Brice Turang had three hits, including a run-scoring infield single in the first and an RBI double in the fifth. Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Antonio Senzatela (3–11) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.
Key moment: Facing the top of Colorado's lineup for the third time, Priester had an 0–2 count on Tyler Freeman to start the sixth before throwing four straight balls. He followed that by getting Jordan Beck to ground out, then struck out the next two batters on seven pitches.
Key stat: Milwaukee's pitching staff has an NL-leading 3.27 ERA over the last 31 games, during which the Brewers are 22–9.
Up next: Chad Patrick (3–7, 3.72 ERA) tries to help the Brewers complete a three-game sweep when he faces the Rockies' German Marquez (3–8, 6.11) on Sunday.

Mets Top Brewers 3-2 Behind Nimmo, Soto and Peterson
Brandon Nimmo homered again, Juan Soto came through with a tiebreaking single, and the New York Mets held off the Milwaukee Brewers 3–2 on Thursday night. David Peterson (6–4) rebounded from a pair of rough starts, tossing 6 2/3 effective innings to give New York's injury-ravaged rotation a much-needed boost. Pete Alonso added an RBI double as the Mets took two of three from Milwaukee – just as they did in their Wild Card Series during the National League playoffs last October. Next stop: the second Subway Series of the season against the crosstown-rival New York Yankees. Fans in the sellout crowd of 42,241 received replica Soto jerseys on Fireworks Night, and the $765 million slugger gave New York a 2–1 lead in the sixth when he grounded an RBI single off hard-luck loser Jose Quintana (6–3), who spent the past two seasons with the Mets. Alonso then drove the first pitch from reliever Nick Mears off the left-center fence for a double that made it 3–1. Andruw Monasterio hit his first homer this year off Peterson in the seventh, but the Mets hung on for their second consecutive victory after losing 14 of 17. Ryne Stanek got four straight outs, ending the eighth with a primal scream after striking out all three batters in the inning. Edwin Díaz fanned two in a scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 19 opportunities. Nimmo, who hit a grand slam Wednesday night off Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, connected for a solo shot in the second to put New York in front. Caleb Durbin tied it with a run-scoring infield single in the fourth. The first pitch was delayed 37 minutes by rain. Key moment: Díaz gave up a one-out single in the ninth to pinch-hitter Christian Yelich, who then got caught stealing. Yelich was initially ruled safe at second base before the call was overturned following a replay review. Key stat: Soto, the NL player of the month for June, began the night batting only .145 with runners in scoring position. Up next: Milwaukee RHP Quinn Priester (6–2, 3.35 ERA) starts Friday night in Miami against RHP Sandy Alcantara (4–8, 6.98), the 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner. The Mets were undecided on a starter for their Subway Series opener against the Yankees at Citi Field.

Trump Wants To Celebrate 250 Years Of Independence With A UFC Fight At The White House
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he's thinking of staging a UFC match on the White House grounds with upward of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. 'We have a lot of land there,' said Trump, a UFC enthusiast who has attended several of its mixed martial arts matches in recent months and is close friends with Dana White, the league's president. Trump announced his plan in Iowa during the kickoff for a year's worth of festivities to celebrate America's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. The Republican president also announced a culminating festival on the National Mall in Washington and a separate athletic competition featuring high school athletes from across the country. 'So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we're going to have a UFC fight,' Trump said. 'Think of this: on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there,' he said, adding that it would be a full fight with 20,000 to 25,000 people. A White House spokesperson said they had no details to share beyond the president's announcement. Trump has recently enjoyed standing ovations and cage-side seats for several UFC fights, including an appearance immediately after his 2024 reelection and another just last month alongside White for two championship fights.
