Raleigh Hits One of Seattle's Four Homers as Mariners Romp Over Twins 11-2
Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley homered as part of a six-run third inning for Seattle. Dominic Canzone, who homered twice on Sunday, went deep again for the Mariners, while Bryan Woo (7–4) gave up two runs and struck out nine to win his second straight start. Brooks Lee, Trevor Larnach, and Carlos Correa each had two hits. Larnach and Correa hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning for Minnesota, which has lost 14 of its last 17. Twins starter Bailey Ober (4–5) had just one bad inning, but it was rocky enough to be the difference in the game. He gave up six runs in the third, with a two-run homer by Rodríguez and Raley's three-run shot doing most of the damage. Ober allowed only two other baserunners and struck out seven in his seven-inning stint.
Rodríguez added a two-run double in the ninth inning before Raleigh's home run.
Key moment: Ober was one out away from getting out of the third inning with just three runs allowed. But he left a fastball over the middle to Raley, who drove it an estimated 436 feet to right-center for a three-run homer that gave Seattle a 6–0 lead.
Key stat: Since losing starters Pablo López and Zebby Matthews to shoulder injuries in early June, the Twins have allowed 133 runs in 17 games, an average of 7.8 per game.
Up next: The second game of the series features a matchup of veteran right-handers as Seattle's Luis Castillo (4–5, 3.38) faces Chris Paddack (3–6, 4.48) for the Twins.

Chiefs Beat Franchise Tag Deadline, Sign Guard Trey Smith to a 4-Year, $94M Deal, AP Source Says
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the deadline to sign franchise-tagged guard Trey Smith to a multiyear contract, agreeing to terms Tuesday on a 94 million deal, a person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press. The four-year contract includes 70 million guaranteed, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been announced. Smith, 26, now has the highest average salary of any player at his position in the NFL at 23.5 million annually. The Chiefs had until 4 p.m. EDT Tuesday to work out a deal beyond this season after giving Smith the franchise tag in March. Smith and franchised Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins each got a lucrative contract, though the agreements came roughly four months apart. Smith has been a key part of the offensive line protecting two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes since entering the league in 2021 as a sixth-round draft pick out of Tennessee. Smith has started 67 regular-season and 13 playoff games, helping Kansas City win the Super Bowl twice and getting there last season before losing to Philadelphia.

Jets Make Sauce Gardner the Nfl's Highest-paid Cornerback With a $120.4m Extension, Ap Source Says
The New York Jets are making Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The Jets and Gardner agreed on a four-year $120.4 million extension through the 2030 season, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement had not been announced. The contract, paying the two-time All-Pro an average of $30.1 million a year, comes a day after the Jets agreed to a lucrative extension with top wide receiver Garrett Wilson. That deal is worth $130 million as the organization locked up two foundational players for the long-term future. Gardner, who turns 25 before Week 1, was the No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft out of Cincinnati. He established himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks during his first two professional seasons, including being selected the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. After a down year by his standards, he is out to prove naysayers wrong, saying he has always been an underdog. After recently declining to say whether he wanted to be the richest player at the position, Gardner now has that distinction.
