Soto powers Mets rally win in first game of Subway Series
Mets reliever Huascar Brazoban (4-2) tossed a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win, and Reed Garrett did the same in the eighth and ninth for the save. Starter Justin Hagenman gave up four runs on five hits and struck out five in 4 1/3 innings his first major league start.
The Mets have won three in a row.
Marcus Stroman allowed three runs on seven hits across five innings for the Yankees, who have lost five straight.
Trailing by one in the seventh and with Pete Alonso on, Jeff McNeil mashed a changeup into the second deck in right field off reliever Luke Weaver (1-3) to put the Mets in front 6-5.
The Yankees took a 5-3 lead in the fifth. After DJ LeMahieu singled, reliever Austin Warren replaced Hagenman to face Jasson Dominguez, and the left fielder belted a two-run shot into the left-field seats.
The Mets narrowed the deficit in the sixth inning off reliever Ian Hamilton. With one out, Brett Baty put a slider over the right-field wall to cut it to 5-4.
The Yankees got the scoring started right off the hop. Dominguez led off the game by lifting a sinker just over the wall in left-center field for a 1-0 lead, his first home run since May 21 - a stretch of 33 games. Judge followed and crushed one 428 feet a few rows higher in left-center to make it 2-0.
The Mets responded in the bottom of the first to tie it. Brandon Nimmo opened with a double and Soto pulled them even with a two-run shot to left-center.
They went ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the third when Soto doubled and scored on Alonso's single to left.
But the Yankees tied it 3-3 in the top of the fourth, with Cody Bellinger knocking a home run into the second deck in right field.

Report: European captain Luke Donald agrees to Ryder Cup rules change
July 21 - The 2025 Ryder Cup is getting off to a congenial start. According to a report by Telegraph Sport on Monday, Team Europe captain Luke Donald has agreed to extricate his counterpart Keegan Bradley from a potentially sticky situation. It was assumed that when Bradley was named Team USA captain, he would serve in the traditional manner. However, the 39-year-old has all but assured himself a spot inside the ropes -- complete with clubs and caddie -- given his brilliant play in 2025. However, the Ryder Cup rules state that only the captain is permitted to provide advice to players during the competition. Should Bradley be competing in a session, he would not be able to communicate with the squad. But Donald agreed to change the rule to allow one of the American vice-captains to assume Bradley's advisory duties. "Keegan can only change the overarching contract with Luke and Ryder Cup Europe's approval," a source told Telegraph Sport. "The contract between the teams includes things like how many vice-captains a team can have, etc. That is used year on year and captains rarely change that. But Keegan went to Luke with this clause and Luke generously agreed." The USA vice-captains are Jim Furyk, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker and Gary Woodland. Furyk, the team captain in the 2018 European win in Paris, could be equipped to assume the role. Bradley was the 2011 PGA Champion, then won only twice on the PGA Tour over the next 10-plus years. But he captured the BMW Championship during the 2024 FedEx Cup playoffs, then won his second Travelers Championship title in three years one month ago. He stands 10th in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings (the top six automatically qualify), but his World ranking has risen to No. 7. With other prominent American players like Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Speith slumping and the selections coming in four weeks, Bradley seems preparing to put himself on the team. The last playing captain for Team USA in a Ryder Cup was Arnold Palmer in 1963. The 2026 Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y. from Sept. 26-28. Team Europe is attempting to become the first away side to win (or retain) the cup in 13 years. They rallied for a 14.5-13.5 win at Medinah (Ill.) in 2012. --Field Level Media

Trump calls on two NFL teams to change their names
Notifications can be managed in browser preferences. Graig Graziosi Monday 21 July 2025 23:18 BST Washington Redskins confirm name change Donald Trump is threatening to block a new stadium deal for the Washington Commanders in Washington, D.C., unless the team changes its name back to the 'Redskins'. Trump also called for the Cleveland Guardians to revert to their previous name, the 'Indians', claiming 'our great Indian people' desire these changes. The Washington team changed its name from 'Redskins' in 2020 due to pressure over the use of a racial slur against Native Americans, while the Cleveland team became the 'Guardians' in 2021 for similar reasons. A 2020 poll found that half of Native American respondents were offended by the name 'Redskins', and a majority found related actions like the 'tomahawk chop' offensive. Despite Trump's demands, both the Commanders and Guardians have indicated no intention of reverting to their previous names, with the Commanders' owner stating they are 'moving forward with the Commanders name'.

Olympic champion Zheng withdraws from U.S. Open after elbow surgery
July 21 (Reuters) - Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen has withdrawn from the U.S. Open as she recovers from right elbow surgery, tournament organisers announced Monday. The world number six revealed last week on Instagram that she has been struggling with "persistent pain" in her right elbow, which affected her performance during both training and matches. After exploring various treatments with little success, Zheng decided to undergo arthroscopic surgery following consultations with elbow specialists and her support team. She has since announced she will be taking a short break from competition to focus on her recovery. The 22-year-old Chinese star enjoyed a remarkable run last year, capturing gold at the Paris Olympics and reaching the final of the 2024 Australian Open. However, her momentum was halted at Wimbledon this year, where she was eliminated in the first round by Czech player Katerina Siniakova earlier in July. With Zheng's withdrawal, France's Leolia Jeanjean will move into the main draw of the U.S. Open, the final Grand Slam of the season, which begins with main draw action on August 24 in New York.
