Mitch Garver and Mariners beat Rangers in 12 as all 3 games of series go extra innings
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mitch Garver hit a two-run homer in the 12th and drove in four runs, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 6-4 on Sunday to win a series in which all three games went to extra innings.
The Mariners took a 3-1 lead in the 10th on RBI singles by Donovan Solano and Garver, but Corey Seager's two-run shot pulled the Rangers even. The Mariners won the series opener 7-6 in 12 before dropping the middle game 3-2 in 10.
It was the first time three games in the same series for Texas went to extra innings since all four at Seattle in September 2002. The Mariners won the first three games of that series before the Rangers took the finale.
Solano put Seattle ahead 4-3 in the 12th on a groundout that third baseman Josh Jung couldn't get out of his glove, allowing automatic runner Luke Raley to score. On the next pitch from Cole Winn (0-1), Garver's fourth homer went 437 feet into the second deck in left field.
Seager's tying homer was his 10th, an opposite field shot to left center off Carlos Vargas.
Trent Thornton (2-0) gave up Seager's sacrifice fly in the 10th, striking out two in his two innings. Key moment
Texas rookie left fielder Alejandro Osuna threw out Cal Raleigh at home during Seattle's two-run 10th. Without that, Seager's shot couldn't have tied the score in the bottom of the inning. Key stat
Four of the past five Texas games have gone to extra innings, and the Rangers have played a league-high five since June 14. Before that, they set franchise records by playing the first 70 games this year without going to extra innings and 95 in a row going back to 2024. Up next
The Mariners return from their second 10-day road trip in a month to face Kansas City on Monday. RHP George Kirby (1-4, 5.40 ERA) is set to start. The Rangers continue a six-game homestand on Monday against Baltimore, with LHP Patrick Corbin (4-7, 4.24) set to start.

Moritz Wagner is returning to the Magic on 1-year deal, AP source says, as NBA free agency continues
Associated Press The Orlando Magic are bringing back forward Moritz Wagner on a one-year deal, a person with knowledge of the move said Friday. Wagner, the brother of Magic forward Franz Wagner, will sign a contract worth $5 million, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal likely will not be finalized until the league's offseason moratorium on moves is lifted Sunday. Free agency officially started Monday and most deals that have been agreed to since then — along with some trades from last month, including the one that will bring Kevin Durant to Houston from Phoenix — can begin getting final approval from the league at that time as well. There are several notable free agents still available. Among them: — Injured guard Damian Lillard, who is available after the surprise waive-and-stretch move by Milwaukee that allowed the Bucks to agree to terms with former Indiana forward Myles Turner. Lillard isn't expected to play much, if at all, this season because he still needs at least several months to recover from an Achilles tendon tear suffered in the playoffs. — Veteran center Al Horford, who helped Boston win the 2024 NBA title and is 62 games away from reaching 1,200 for his career. — Point guard Russell Westbrook, who is set to enter his 18th year in the league and someone who averaged 13.3 points per game with Denver this past season. — Point guard Chris Paul, who turned 40 in May and would be playing a 21st season in the league. He's coming off a year when he started all 82 games for San Antonio. — There's also the question surrounding Golden State restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, who has been mentioned frequently in potential sign-and-trades that could send him to a new club. Moritz Wagner tore his ACL in a game in December and has hopes of being ready for the start of this coming season. The Magic earlier declined an option to bring him back on a deal that would have paid $11 million this year, and the backup center wound up taking less money to remain in Orlando — a team with serious hopes of contending in the Eastern Conference. The Magic added Desmond Bane in a trade with Memphis last month, landed guard Tyus Jones earlier in free agency and are expected to give Paolo Banchero, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft, an extension this summer — one that likely will be in the range of nearly $240 million for five years and would represent the biggest contract in franchise history. Moritz Wagner was averaging a career-best 12.9 points through 30 games last season when he got hurt. He played for Germany's team that won the 2023 Basketball World Cup and was with his national team again for the Paris Olympics in 2024. He is entering his eighth NBA season and what will be his fifth full year with the Magic. ___ AP NBA: recommended

Family of Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother gather for wake after fatal crash
Associated Press GONDOMAR, Portugal (AP) — Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother gathered at a chapel where their bodies were brought for a wake on Friday, a day after the Portuguese soccer players were killed in a car crash. Some hugged and wept before entering the Capela da Ressurreição São Cosme. The brothers' parents attended, as well as Jota's agent, Jorge Mendes. Mourners left flowers and candles next to a tree outside the chapel were visitation was held. Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa also visited to pay his respects. The chapel sits next to the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church where the funeral for the siblings is planned for Saturday. Gondomar resident Ricardo Alves lamented the loss of the local star as he passed by. 'It is a great sadness. Although I did not know him personally he was from here and I knew many of his friends from the region where he lived," Alves said. "It is a great loss, he is a young man, with a lot still to give and he had a somewhat tragic fate.' Jota, 28, and his brother, Andre Silva, 25, were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed on an isolated stretch of highway just after midnight on Thursday and burst into flames. Their bodies were repatriated to Portugal after being identified by the family, Spanish government officials said. Jota and his parents both have homes in Gondomar, where he started his playing career as a child. Gondomar is a working-class town next to Porto, where Jota was born. Jota's death occurred two weeks after he married long-time partner Rute Cardoso while on vacation from a long season where he helped Liverpool win the Premier League. The couple had three children, the youngest born last year. Spanish police are investigating the cause of the crash, which did not involve another vehicle, they said. They said they believe it could have been caused by a blown tire. Jota's brother Silva played for Portuguese club Penafiel in the lower divisions. The loss was felt sharply in his hometown, especially at his first soccer club, where Jota started playing at age 9. 'He never forgot his roots, nor his friends, because he had a group of friends who were with him in the training here in Gondomar and who he even invited from time to time to go and watch Liverpool games in England," Gondomar SC director Anselmo Serra told The Associated Press. 'They were like a group of friends that he never forgot over the years.' Heading to England via boat Jota and his brother were driving overnight to catch a boat from Santander, on Spain's northern coast, to go to England to rejoin Liverpool, when they crashed, according to Portuguese media. Portuguese sports website Record published a video interview with Miguel Goncalves, who said he worked as a physical therapist for Jota. Gonçalves told Record that Jota was avoiding flying due to a lung condition that he recently treated. 'I was in his house at night for a last treatment,' Gonçalves said. 'He was proud to have recovered from his pulmonary problem. He was happy to be with his brother. They were excited to spend some time together on the trip.' Spanish police have yet to say which brother was driving. Liverpool mourns Jota Condolences poured in from Portuguese officials and the world of soccer as news of the accident spread. A moment of silence was held before Portugal played Spain at the Women's European Championship in Switzerland late Thursday. For a second day, Liverpool fans laid flowers and scarves outside Anfield Stadium. Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was among those to place a bouquet at the impromptu memorial to Jota. Liverpool's players are not due back from their summer break until Monday. Mohamed Salah wrote on social media that it will be hard to return to the team without Jota. 'Teammates come and go but not like this. It's going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won't be there when we go back,' Salah wrote. 'My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.' ___ Wilson reported from Barcelona, Spain. David Biller in Rome and photojournalist Manu Fernandez in Gondomar contributed. ___ AP soccer:

Nationals' James Wood joins Ronald Acuña Jr., Cal Raleigh in Home Run Derby
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood became the third player to announce he will take part in the 2025 Home Run Derby. The derby will take place on July 14, the night before the All-Star Game, at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wood joins Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 33 homers, in the contest. Wood had his first career 5 for 5 day along with his 23rd home run in Thursday night's 11-7 win over the Detroit Tigers. He's the third Nationals player to take part in the Home Run Derby, joining Juan Soto (2022) and Bryce Harper (2013 and '18). "I mean it's cool. It's definitely special," Wood said of his selection. "It's something not a lot of guys get to do so I'm just super honored and excited for it." The 22-year-old Wood has 12 homers that have been hit harder than 110 mph. It's the second most in the league behind Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani's 13. Wood also has four that have gone longer than 445 feet. Wood was acquired from San Diego in August 2022 as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Soto to the Padres. The Associated Press Today. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
