Katie Ledecky tops Pallister, McIntosh in swim worlds epic; Gretchen Walsh adds gold
In what may have been the best race of her career, Katie Ledecky won an 800m freestyle that lived up to the hype, becoming the first swimmer to win a seventh world title in one event. Ledecky swam 8:05.62 to beat Australian Lani Pallister (8:05.98) and Canadian Summer McIntosh (8:07.29) in a showdown among the three fastest women in history in the event. Ledecky rallied from second place at 700 meters -- just .14 behind McIntosh -- then held off the charging Pallister in a championship record time. It's her 23 world title (second to Michael Phelps' 26) and 30th world medal (second to Phelps' 33). Ledecky is now 11-0 in global finals in the 800m free, her trademark event, since her 2012 Olympic breakout at age 15. SWIMMING WORLDS: Results | Broadcast Schedule Gretchen Walsh fills U.S. women's swim worlds gold set Earlier Saturday, American Gretchen Walsh added the 50m fly title to her 100m fly victory from last Monday. She swam 24.83 seconds, distancing silver medalist Alexandria Perkins by 48 hundredths — greater than the margin separating Perkins from last place in the race. Of the 42 women's and men's events on the world championships program, the women's 50m fly was the only one the U.S. had never won. The U.S. has won at least one medal in all 16 women's events held so far at these worlds. There are four women's finals left on Sunday. Walsh was one of the majority of U.S. swim team members affected to varying degrees by acute gastroenteritis, or a stomach bug, leading into worlds. "It felt like myself again in the water," she said Saturday. She said Monday that her body had felt "fragile." She has one individual event left at these worlds: the 50m free. She owns the world's top time this year. For Gretchen Walsh, a journey to a possible gold rush at World Swimming Championships Gretchen Walsh has never won an individual global title in a long-course pool. She could leave worlds with four of them. Nick Zaccardi, Australian Kaylee McKeown and American Regan Smith went one-two in the 200m backstroke, just as they did in all three backstrokes at the 2023 Worlds, both backstrokes at the 2024 Olympics and in the 100m back earlier at these worlds. American Claire Curzan, who swept the backstrokes at the 2024 Worlds in the absence of McKeown and Smith, took bronze Saturday. Both U.S. entries won a medal in all three women's backstroke events. McKeown clocked 2:03.33, the third-fastest time in history. McKeown and Smith combine to own 22 of the top 23 times in history. Frenchman Maxime Grousset took the men's 100m fly in 49.62, the third-fastest time in history behind Caeleb Dressel's top two. Australian Cameron McEvoy and Brit Ben Proud went one-two in the men's 50m free, repeating their finishes from the Olympics. American Jack Alexy added bronze to his 100m free silver. Inside Summer McIntosh's big change that led to three world records Summer McIntosh crossed an ocean and took up a new sport that helped her have one of the best swim meets in history. Nick Zaccardi,

India goes Deep as nightwatchman blasts England at the Oval
LONDON (AP) — Brilliant play from nightwatchman Akash Deep and Yashasvi Jaiswal extended India's lead over England to 166 runs by lunch on day three Saturday of the fifth test at the Oval. Deep scored a career-best 66, his maiden test half-century, while Jaiswal happily switched to an anchor role and moved from 51 overnight to 85 as they led India's second innings to 189-3. The morning session was almost perfect for India. The sun was out and a pitch that was spicy the last two days flattened out. England's seam attack, down a man with Chris Woakes off injured, was generally feeble and grew even more impotent as the ball got older. Deep and Jaiswal turned it all into profit. Deep, on 4 overnight, wasn't expected to last very long as all nightwatchmen are. But he used a license to swing away with careful abandon and couldn't stop scoring. He racked up 11 more boundaries. Until England got Deep's wicket, Josh Tongue gave the home side a brief opening in the morning when Deep survived an umpire's call on an lbw appeal and, next ball, was dropped on 21 by Zak Crawley at third slip. That was Crawley second drop of the innings. Deep pulled Gus Atkinson twice to the midwicket fence as he passed his previous best test score of 31 against Australia in Brisbane last December, and cut Atkinson twice more to the boundary to race through the 40s. The Oval lights came on as if to spotlight Deep, and his ninth boundary brought up his 50, which he celebrated with pumped fists. The India dressing room was on its feet and even coach Gautam Gambhir was smiling. Deep's 10th boundary, another off the edge, gave him his highest first-class score. The fun ended just minutes before lunch when he looped a bouncer to backward point and gave Jamie Overton, playing his first test in three years, his first wicket of the match. Meanwhile, Jaiswal was happy to be second fiddle to Deep after playing the risk-taker on Friday evening. Jaiswal expertly steered boundary balls twice wide of the slips off Tongue and cut Overton to the fence. After being 51 off 49 balls overnight, he reached 85 off 106 by lunch, and was closing on his second century of the series. Beside him was captain Shubman Gill, on 11, with the ball 44 overs old. ___ AP cricket:

MLB Rumors: Mariners Got Eugenio Suarez for Discount Rate After Yankees Showed No Interest?
A new report claims the Seattle Mariners were able to get Eugenio Suarez for a reasonable rate because his trade market was far weaker than the Arizona Diamondbacks expected. Earlier this week, the Mariners made another notable splash in the trade market when they acquired the biggest bat available, All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez. The rumors around the game would have you believe he was the most pursued player this month. Well, that was not the case at all. Eugenio Suarez contract: Set to be a free agent after 2025 season According to USA Today MLB insider Bob Nightengale, the market for the slugger was very weak. And the New York Yankees — a team heavily linked to Suarez — showed little interest in the two-time All-Star. 'They were stunned on how little action they got on Suarez. They wanted to move him desperately. But nobody was offering anything,' Nightengale said on 'The Foul Territory Show.' 'A few GMs have told me that at the trade deadline, you never get much for position players. Even when JD Martinez got moved to the Diamondbacks years ago, they gave up a bag of balls for the guy. 'They were very disappointed that the Yankees didn't go after him, and then the Reds went to Hayes instead of going after him. The market for [Suarez] cratered.' The 34-year-old is on pace to hit over 50 homers and well over 100 RBIs this year. Along with the acquisition of Josh Naylor a couple of weeks ago, the Mariners now have a pair of big bats to go along with MVP candidate Cal Raleigh in the second half. They are a real threat to get to the World Series in October. Eugenio Suaez stats: .248 AVG, .319 OBP, .572 SLG, .891 OPS, 36 HR, 87 RBI, 66 R Suarez is a rental and is unlikely to be re-signed after the season unless Seattle wins a championship. In the trade, the M's gave up prospects Tyler Locklear, Hunter Cranton (No. 16 team prospect), and Juan Burgos. All of them are players ranked outside the top eight in the team's system.
