Orioles use power to subdue Rays
Jackson Holliday, Ryan O'Hearn and Alex Jackson went deep for the Orioles, who ended a four-game skid. Gunnar Henderson added a two-run double.
Trevor Rogers (3-1) went six innings and allowed just five hits and two runs. The Baltimore lefty walked two and struck out three.
Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 with a run for the Rays. Danny Jansen homered and scored twice, and Junior Caminero had two hits and one RBI.
Holiday gave the Orioles a 1-0 lead after he deposited Rays starter Ryan Pepiot's second pitch of the game over the fence in right-center. The second baseman also played a pivotal role in a three-run third inning, which began with Jackson homering against his former team. He worked a walk after facing an 0-2 count and scored on Henderson's two-bagger that made the lead 4-0.
Pepiot (6-8) went six innings. He gave up six hits and a walk while striking out eight. However, half of the hits off the righty were longballs, which led to him giving up five earned runs, one off his season worst.
The Rays scratched a run across in the ninth off Baltimore's Felix Bautista, but had a chance for more as the Orioles closer was erratic in making his first appearance since July 10. Taylor Walls singled to score Jansen.
Bautista walked three and eventually loaded the bases to give Caminero a chance to walk it off for the Rays. However, the righty recovered after going down 3-0 to get the All-Star slugger on strikes and lock down his 19th save of the season.
Tampa Bay center fielder Chandler Simpson entered Sunday with the longest active hitting streak at 18 games, but he saw it snapped after going 0-for-5. That included a first-pitch pop-out in the ninth inning off Bautista as the potential tying run.
Sunday's game featured a rain delay of two hours, 36 minutes after the sixth inning.

Crew acquire striker Wessam Abou Ali as DP
July 26 - The Columbus Crew acquired striker Wessam Abou Ali for an undisclosed transfer fee on Saturday. Multiple reports said the MLS club paid $7.5 million to land the Egyptian Premier League star. Abou Ali, 26, joins the Crew as a designated player and is signed through 2027 with a 2028 club option. "Wessam is a special player whose journey speaks to his resilience, character and tireless work ethic, which are qualities we value at our Club," Crew general manager Issa Tall said. "He is a proven goal-scorer who knows what it takes to help his team win. His clinical finishing, energy and charisma will strengthen our squad, and we are confident that he will thrive within our system." Abou Ali led Al Ahly to consecutive Egyptian Premier League titles in 2023-24 and 2024-25 and was the league's leading goal scorer (18) in 2023-24. The team also won the Egyptian Super Cup in 2024 and the CAF Champions League in 2023-24. He tallied 38 goals and 10 assists in 60 matches across all competitions with Al Ahly, including a hat trick against FC Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup on June 23 in East Rutherford, N.J.

‘Pressure is a privilege' – World Nineball Tour No.1 Fedor Gorst reveals how ChatGPT helped him become world champion
FEDOR GORST is cool, calm and collected as he enjoys his breakfast ahead of the final rounds of the World Pool Championship - and it may all be thanks to ChatGPT. The young world champion, who was born in Russia but represents the USA, last year completed what has become known as the Gorst Slam. 6 6 6 He triumphed in the U.S. Open, the World Pool Masters, and the World Pool Championship - becoming champion again for the first time since 2019. That feat has cemented Gorst's place at the top of the rankings - a spot he could keep for a number of years. Perhaps the only thing standing in Gorst's way is himself, since many believe he is the most skilful player on the World Nineball Tour. He rejects that claim but there is one attribute that puts him above the rest - mentality. Gorst, 25, feels pressure is a privilege and he confesses to using ChatGPT to help him improve the mental side of his game. He told Sun Sport: "The pressure is always there. If there is no pressure I don't feel like I am even trying. So pressure is good. To feel pressure is a privilege. "A lot of it is mental. This sport, the difference between top players if you look at the top eight, skill-wise, the difference does not really matter, the mental side is where the difference is. "I've been working with some technical people, working with ChatGPT as well. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 6 6 "I give it a prompt, 'you're my mental coach, here's how I feel, tell me how I can improve'. "Honestly, I use ChatGPT for everything, for practice. I'm always taking notes, what I need to work on, my memory is not clean. "There's so many things I need to work on, and it's only by going back to see what I was working on that has allowed me to improve." Gorst, nicknamed The Ghost, has won four ranking event titles in his career. And although he does not have any pre-match superstitions, Gorst does go through a meticulous routine that includes stretches in the gym and an omelette for breakfast while in Jeddah. He emphasised the benefit of staying sharp and energised in a week-long tournament, suggesting that it can be the difference needed to claim the title. Gorst continued: "It's very important to stay fresh. That's the thing that separates the winners from those that lose. Those that lose, most of the time, they run out of gas. "Long matches, long races, three-hour matches, it takes a lot of energy out of you, it takes a lot of focus out of you. So it is really, really important to stay fresh throughout the tournament."

Dolphins sign CB Jack Jones after Artie Burns injury
July 26 - The Miami Dolphins signed free agent cornerback Jack Jones in response to the season-ending injury suffered by Artie Burns in practice on Wednesday. The team announced the signing on Saturday but did not reveal the terms. ESPN reported Jones signed a one-year deal. He was at work at training camp in Miami Gardens, Fla., on Saturday. CBS Miami posted video to its X account showing Jones talking with head coach Mike McDaniel. Jones, 27, was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent his first season in New England before being waived on Nov. 13, 2023. The Las Vegas Raiders claimed him off waivers the following day and released him in April after unsuccessfully trying to trade him. The move saved the Raiders $3.4 million in cap space. Jones appeared in 17 games for the Raiders last season (16 starts). He intercepted three passes, returning one for a touchdown, and defended 16 passes. He made a career-high 69 tackles. On the flip side, Jones allowed 698 yards and nine touchdowns. In 42 career games (21 starts), Jones has seven interceptions and four touchdowns to go with a forced fumble and fumble recovery. He also has 27 passes defended and 136 tackles. The Dolphins put Burns on season-ending injured reserve but did not divulge his exact injury. Multiple outlets reported he tore an ACL. Burns signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason and Miami is thin at cornerback without him. The Dolphins traded Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could have multiple undrafted free agents in the starting three at corner alongside Cam Smith. Storm Duck, Kader Kohou and Ethan Bonner -- all undrafted -- are competing with rookie fifth-rounder Jason Marshall Jr., undrafted free agent rookies BJ Adams and Ethan Robinson. With Jones' signing, Miami waived cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr. The Dolphins open the 2025 season on Sept. 7 in Indianapolis against the Colts. --Field Level Media
