James Wood becomes first since Barry Bonds to be intentionally walked 4 times in a game
Bonds was intentionally walked four times in four different games in 2004. The only other players since at least 1955 to be intentionally walked four times in a game are Wood, Roger Maris, Garry Templeton, Manny Ramirez and Andre Dawson — who drew five intentional passes for the Chicago Cubs against Cincinnati on May 22, 1990.

The latest on Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors and his restricted free agency
The fourth day of Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency will end without resolution, but there's been increasing movement and conversation in regard to one of the most intriguing names remaining on the market. The Golden State Warriors, according to league sources, have been searching for a promising young player plus a first-round pick in return for Kuminga, should they ultimately choose to part with him in a sign-and-trade scenario. They extended the $7.9 million qualifying offer to the 22-year-old wing and maintain the ability to match any contract he signs. Advertisement That gives them a level of leverage in a market devoid of significant cap space. They've drawn inbound calls in recent days, most notably from the Sacramento Kings, who floated an offer of Devin Carter, Dario Šarić and two second-round picks, league sources said. The Warriors have so far balked at what they felt was a buy-low attempt, league sources said. The Washington Wizards entered the mix in the last 24 hours and the idea of Kuminga as a possible fit in Washington's rebuild has gained real momentum, according to league sources. The Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets have also registered varying levels of interest, league sources said. This is a difficult market for restricted free agents. Kuminga isn't alone. The Josh Giddey, Quentin Grimes and Cam Thomas situations also remain without resolution as free agency nears its fifth day. Kuminga and his agent, Aaron Turner, are in search of a situation where Kuminga will be a featured part of the core with the belief of the franchise and coaching staff behind him. That isn't something Kuminga has consistently felt in his four years with the Warriors and — holding a degree of agency for the first time in his professional career — he's in patient pursuit of a situation that matches his ambitions. That could mean the process drags out deeper into July. There's a tentative plan for face-to-face meetings between Kuminga and prospective suitors in Las Vegas during NBA Summer League, should the process extend that far. An eventual compromise and return to the Warriors also remains very much on the table, league sources said, considering the market dynamics at play. The two sides have talked about a sitdown in Las Vegas between Kuminga, Turner, general manager Mike Dunleavy and head coach Steve Kerr to discuss a possible path forward, if his situation remains unresolved in a week.

Shaw sac fly in 10th lifts Cubs over Guardians 1-0, deals Cleveland 7th straight loss.
CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Matt Shaw's deep sacrifice fly to center scored Nico Hoerner from third in the 10th inning, giving the Chicago Cubs a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night. Hoerner, the automatic runner, advanced to third on Michael Busch's groundout. He trotted home on Shaw's liner that Lane Thomas caught in front of the ivy at Wrigley Field . Dansby Swanson had two of Chicago's three hits as the Cubs swept the series and dealt the Guardians a season-high seventh straight loss. Chris Flexen (5-0), the Cubs fourth reliever, pitched a perfect 10th for the win. NL Central-leading Chicago improved to 52-35 and moved four games ahead of second-place Milwaukee. Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase (4-2), pitched the ninth and 10th and took the loss. Steven Kwan had two singles in a game with no extra-base hits. Cubs rookie starter Cade Horton threw seven scoreless, five-hit innings in his longest outing so far. Cleveland's Joey Cantillo tossed 3 1/3 two-hit, shutout innings in his first start this season. The left-hander was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to replace scheduled starter Luis Ortiz, who was placed on non-disciplinary leave Thursday as the subject of a Major League Baseball gambling investigation. Cleveland's bullpen retired 16 Cubs hitter in a row from the fourth until Swanson lined his second single of the game with two outs in the ninth off Clase. Key moment Back-to-back singles by Daniel Schneemann and Bo Naylor put runners at first and third with one out in the fifth. Cubs backup catcher Reese McGuire threw out Naylor as he tried to steal second, then Brayan Rocchio bounced out to end the threat. Key stat The Guardians are 9-19 since June 1. Up next Guardians RHP Slade Cecconi (3-3, 3.64 ERA) starts Friday against the Tigers in Cleveland. Cubs RHP Colin Rea (5-3, 4.37 ERA) faces St. Louis RHP Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.76) on Friday afternoon at Wrigley. ___ AP MLB:
