Hungarian Grand Prix venue
Twisty, bumpy and dusty, the Hungaroring is one of the hardest tracks to overtake on all year. It's even been likened to the Monaco street circuit for the importance of qualifying and grid position. Hungary first hosted an F1 race under communist rule in 1986. Lewis Hamilton is the record holder there with eight wins from 2007-2020. Oscar Piastri took his first career win last year after an awkward stand-off with teammate Lando Norris over team orders.
Last time out
Piastri overtook Norris and held on with worn tires to take his sixth win of the season at the Belgian Grand Prix after a long delay for heavy rain. The Australian driver extended his standings lead over his teammate Norris to 16 points.

Key stats
8 — Piastri's win at the Belgian Grand Prix put him level with Norris and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc on eight career wins. They're joint-fourth among active drivers.
3 — The last three races have been a McLaren one-two finish for Piastri and Norris, something no team had done since 2019. The all-time record for a team is five one-two finishes in a row.
370 — Lewis Hamilton marks his 370th race in F1, but he's still far off Fernando Alonso's record. The Spanish two-time champion will race for the 415th time.

Texas Rangers put outfielder Evan Carter on IL, recall outfielder Alejandro Osuna
SEATTLE (AP) — Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday because of back spasms and outfielder Alejandro Osuna was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to replace him on the active roster. The 22-year-old Carter went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts during Friday night's loss to the Seattle Mariners, and had gone only 4 for 34 since the All-Star break. He also missed time this season because of a right quad strain. Carter is hitting .238 with four home runs and 21 RBIs this season. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy lamented the loss of Carter ahead of Saturday's game, especially in conjunction with third baseman Josh Jung continuing to miss time because of calf soreness. 'Yeah, it's really incredible,' Bochy said. 'You look at the number of injuries. I mean, it hasn't stopped.' Osuna, 22, has appeared in 29 games for the Rangers this season, hitting .164 with one home run and five RBIs. Additionally, first baseman Jake Burger, who has been sidelined since July 12 because of a left quadriceps injury, was sent to Double-A Frisco to begin a rehab assignment.

PORTHCAWL, Wales (AP) — Miyu Yamashita was crooked off the tee and struggled on the greens, a rough combination that led to a hard-fought round of 2-over 74 on Saturday that shrunk her lead to one shot over A Lim Kim in the Women's British Open. Yamashita, who led by three shots going into the third round, did not hit a fairway over the last 11 holes and still managed to stay in front at Royal Porthcawl, though it wasn't easy.

Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck to undergo Tommy John surgery
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck's attempt to come back this season is over. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Houck will undergo Tommy John surgery. An All-Star last season, the 29-year-old Houck went on the injured list in mid-May with a right flexor strain after going 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA in nine starts. 'Tanner's going to have Tommy John surgery,' Cora said before the Red Sox faced the Houston Astros at Fenway Park. 'He went to see Dr. Meister there in Texas and that was the recommendation,' Cora said. 'We don't have a date yet, but he's going to have it.' Houck had a strong 2024 season, finishing seventh in the American League with a 3.12 ERA in 30 starts, but was only able to make five rehab appearances after going on the IL. 'Tough year for him, tough year for us,' Cora said of the season-ending news. 'But he'll kill the rehab, he'll do his job, and when he comes back, he's going to be OK.' Houck earned his first All-Star appearance by going 8-6 with a 2.54 ERA in the first half. He struggled after the break, going 1-4 with a 4.23 ERA. He worked an inning at the All-Star Game in Texas last year, giving up three hits including a homer to Shohei Ohtani. He's the third Boston starting pitcher to suffer a season-ending injury. Hunter Dobbins tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee covering first base last month and Kutter Crawford underwent right wrist surgery. The team hopes the pickup of righty Dustin May at the trade deadline from the Los Angeles Dodgers will bolster the staff. He's expected to make his first start for the Red Sox on Wednesday at Fenway. 'It was definitely a ride of emotions, up and down,' said May, sitting in the dugout on Saturday of being dealt to Boston. 'Sad leaving because I've been there my whole career, but very, very excited to be joining this organization.' May knew his days as a starter with the Dodgers were likely coming to an end this season with a few starters expected to come off the injured list. 'I was kid of pushed out,' he said. 'We've got quite a few guys there in that organization. I couldn't be more excited and thrilled to be here and be a part of it.' ___ AP MLB:
