Rockies tie it on Arcia's homer in ninth, beat Brewers 4-3 in 11

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Orlando Arcia hit a tying home run with two outs in the ninth inning, Kyle Farmer drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 11th and the Colorado Rockies beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Sunday. Arcia's solo shot off Brewers closer Trevor Megill that tied it at 2 was just his second of the season. Victor Vodnik (3-2) pitched the 10th for the win. Tyler Kinley struck out pinch-hitter Jake Bauers and Isaac Collins before retiring Caleb Durbin on a flyout to end it. Farmer singled off Grant Anderson (1-3) to score automatic runner Brenton Doyle as the Rockies rallied with a run in each of the last four innings after they were shut out in the previous 16. Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich homered in the sixth inning off Colorado starter Germán Márquez for a 2-0 lead. It was the 18th homer for Yelich and the fifth for Frelick. Ryan McMahon reached on a two-out, two-base throwing error by shortstop Joey Ortiz and Doyle doubled to cut it to 2-1 in the eighth. Brewers rookie Chad Patrick allowed four hits and fanned eight in five scoreless innings. Megill allowed the tying homer and then surrendered Thairo Estrada's RBI single in the 10th. The Brewers scored on Vodnik's wild pitch to send it to the 11th. Colorado (19-65), which had outfielder Tyler Freeman and interim manager Warren Schaeffer ejected in the third inning, snapped a five-game slide. Milwaukee (47-37) had a four-game win streak end. Key moment Vodnik had runners on the corners in the 10th after a double-play grounder by Yelich was overturned on review. He retired William Contreras on a shallow fly to right before striking out Turang to keep it 3-3. Eleven of Colorado's 19 wins this season have come on the road. Up next The Brewers begin a six-game road trip Tuesday with Freddy Peralta (8-4, 2.90 ERA) starting the opener against Mets RHP Clay Holmes (8-4, 2.97).

Steelers' Cam Heyward delivered 'Welcome to the NFL' moment with massive hit on Giants RB

Cam Heyward's terrifying presence on defense served as another player's 'Welcome to the NFL' moment.' According to Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., Heyward's massive hit in Week 8 last season was an eye-opener as to how 'different' the NFL really is: "It was Cam Heyward," Tracy said on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. "He's in the middle, obviously — he's a big dude, you can't miss him. I'm doing my inside zone and I'm thinking the gap is there. If you're a running back, you understand that like the hole is there, until it's not. And Cam Heyward, he's two-gapping, so he's making it look like it's there, and I try to hit in there. And this man hit me so hard. He hit me so hard to where I hit my head on the ground, and I just kind of had to lay there for a little bit. I needed a moment just to catch my breath, and to understand, 'Yeah, I'm in the NFL. They're just a little different.'" A little over a month ago, Raiders center Jackson Powers-Johnson claimed Heyward was responsible for his 'Welcome to the NFL' moment as well, with Tracy's recent example only further proving just how dominant the Steelers veteran truly is. Heyward's former Steelers teammate, QB Russell Wilson, is gearing up to lead the Tracy and the Giants' offense in 2025 — but the running back might not get to play with Mr. Unlimited for long, as one insider predicted that rookie Jaxson Dart could usurp the starting QB role in New York sooner rather than later.
