Witt Jr. and Perez homer to back Cameron's strong start as Royals beat Pirates 9-3
Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez hit two of Kansas City's four home runs to back a strong start by rookie Noah Cameron, and the Royals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9–3 on Monday night. Cameron (3–4) struck out seven in a season-high seven innings. The left-hander allowed three hits, a walk, and two runs–on Tommy Pham's two-run shot in the third. Witt went 2 for 3 and scored twice to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Witt hit his 13th homer, a two-run shot the opposite way to right-center field off reliever Chase Shugart, to give the Royals a 6–2 lead in the fourth. He added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Witt finished off a seven-game trip Sunday by extending his club-record hitting streak on the road to 25 games. Perez hit his 11th homer, a solo shot to left in the fifth, for a five-run advantage. He hit his 24th double off the top of the wall in left to drive in a run for a 3–2 lead in the third. Vinnie Pasquantino hit a two-out pitch from Andrew Heaney in the first for his 15th homer and a 1–0 lead. Nick Loftin hit his second, a one-out solo shot off Génesis Cabrera in the eighth. Heaney (4–8) threw 76 pitches and allowed four runs in three innings. Pham's homer was his third. It snapped Pittsburgh's 30-inning scoreless streak and gave the Pirates a 2–1 lead. Steven Cruz pitched a scoreless eighth, and Jonathan Bowlan allowed Alexander Canario's RBI single in the ninth to finish for Kansas City. Key moment: Cameron didn't surrender a hit after Bryan Reynolds' leadoff single in the third. Key stat: The Royals hit more home runs in their first home game of July than they did in the month of June. Up next: Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (3–10, 3.64) starts Tuesday opposite Royals RHP Seth Lugo (6–5, 2.65).

Loperfido homers as the Blue Jays beat the White Sox 8-4 for their 9th consecutive win
Joey Loperfido homered and drove in three runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 8–4 on Monday night for their ninth consecutive win. Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes also connected as AL East–leading Toronto improved to 27–10 in its last 37 games. Bo Bichette had two hits, and All-Star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked three times. At 53–38, the Blue Jays matched the franchise record for most victories before the All-Star break. It's the longest win streak for the team since an 11-game run in August 2015. José Berríos (5–3) pitched six innings of one-run ball, bouncing back nicely after he struggled in a no-decision against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The right-hander improved to 16–6 with a 2.96 ERA in 27 career starts against Chicago. Mike Tauchman had three hits and two RBIs for the last-place White Sox, who won two of three at Toronto last month. Colson Montgomery, one of the team's top prospects, went 0 for 3 with a walk in his home debut. The Blue Jays opened an 8–1 lead when they scored five times in the sixth. Barger hit a two-run drive off Sean Burke for his 12th homer, and Loperfido chopped a two-run single over a drawn-in infield. Burke (4–8) was charged with six runs and six hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander allowed two earned runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings. Key moment: Loperfido and Lukes hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, giving Toronto a 3–1 lead. It was Loperfido's first homer of the season and No. 5 for his career. Key stat: It was Chicago's eighth consecutive home loss against Toronto. Up next: Chris Bassitt (8–4, 4.32 ERA) starts for Toronto on Tuesday night, and fellow right-hander Aaron Civale (0–3, 4.29 ERA) pitches for Chicago.

Utah Mammoth Re-sign Jack McBain to 4-Year Contract Worth $21.25 Million
The Utah Mammoth have re-signed Jack McBain to a five-year contract worth $21.25 million. McBain will count $4.25 million against the salary cap through the 2029–30 NHL season on the deal announced Monday, a little over 24 hours since the team elected salary arbitration with the restricted free agent forward. 'He is a big, strong, physical player who competes hard on a nightly basis and brings a gritty toughness to our group,' general manager Bill Armstrong said. 'Jack is an important part of the championship-caliber team we are building, and we look forward to having him back on our roster for the foreseeable future.' McBain, 25, is coming off setting a career high with 27 points and playing all 82 games. He was one of six players to skate in every game of the organization's first season in Salt Lake City. 'Jack's versatility as a player, his care for his teammates, and his demonstrated willingness to do whatever it takes to win are all critical elements to our future team success,' president of hockey operations Chris Armstrong said. McBain has 82 points in 241 games with the franchise, which moved to Utah from Arizona. Since debuting in April 2022, he ranks third in the league with 832 hits.
