Kevin Moranz wins 2025 PulpMX Yamaha Privateer Challenge
'Jerry Robin, you're in our thoughts and I want to do the most I can,' Moranz said. "[Kyle Chisholm] was racing for you ... but I have 10 percent going to you.'
Moranz pocketed $30,000 for the victory.
Moranz was lined up at the back to start the second race, but said from the top of the podium that the officials said anything goes on the start so he lined up with a wheel pointed to the inside and passed several riders before the first turn.
Marshall Weltin finished seventh in the first race and won the second race for a combined score of eight. That was enough to place him second on the overall chart with Hardy Munoz (5-5) rounding out the podium.
Fourth-place Hunter Schlosser (3-10) and Grant Harlan (116) rounded out the top five.

In the first race, Kyle Chisholm, who was racing for Jerry Robin this week with his livery and proceeds to go to the injured rider, took the lead early when Harlan tipped over on Lap 1. He lined up at the tail of the field for the start of Race 2.
'I least I got one on the board for Jerry,' Chisholm said from the top of the box after winning the first race. 'I'll pick guys off one at a time and hope for the best.'
Chisholm was coming through the field and in a position for third overall at the time, but got hooked with Devin Simonson in a bowl turn and went down.
Justin Starling capitalized on trouble in the first race to start first and take the early lead, but his bike developed problems in Race 2 and Logan Karnow took the top spot when Starling retired.
Marshal Weltin passed Karnow soon after and held that position until the checkers.

MLB trade deadline: Yankees reportedly getting reliever David Bednar from Pirates
The New York Yankees are acquiring closer David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, which they hope will solve their issues with finishing out games in late innings. The deal is pending medical review, reports ESPN's Jeff Passan. Bednar, who will turn 31 on Oct. 10, has 51 strikeouts in 38 innings with a 2.37 ERA and 17 saves in 17 opportunities this season. No blown saves might be of particular interest to the Yankees and their fans with Devin Williams and Luke Weaver being unreliable in late-inning situations this season. Wednesday's 5-4, 11-inning win over the Tampa Bay Rays has to be a particularly fresh memory with WIlliams blowing a 2-1 lead in the ninth by walking Junior Caminero to lead off the inning, then leaving a changeup in the lower middle of the strike zone for a two-run homer by Josh Lowe. The Yankees tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on Anthony Volpe's 16th homer of the season, but Weaver gave the lead back with a walk to Brandon Lowe, a single by Yandy Díaz and sacrifice fly from Jonathan Aranda. New York rallied to win the game with Cody Bellinger tying the score at 4-4 in the 10th on an RBI triple and Ryan McMahon hitting a walk-off RBI single in the 11th. But the game arguably never should have reached that point, had Williams or Weaver locked the game down when the opportunity was there. This story will be updated.

3 Steelers defenders suffer knee injuries at training camp, per Mike Tomlin
As Steelers training camp rolls on, injuries continue to take their toll — and HC Mike Tomlin provided a health update regarding the defensive line. Following practice on Thursday in Latrobe, Tomlin told reporters that three defensive tackles had suffered knee injuries during the previous day's first padded practice: Dean Lowry, Jacob Slade, and Esezi Otomewo. Lowry, who signed a two-year contract with Pittsburgh back in April 2024, provided depth and experience on the defensive line — having played in 132 games over his nine-year career. Slade, who has yet to make his NFL debut, signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Steelers in January after spending some time on the practice squad last season. Otomewo, a fourth-year defender who's spent time with the Jaguars and Vikings, signed with Pittsburgh several months ago in free agency — a part of a clear plan to rebuild the run defense in the trenches. Tomlin previously revealed Otomewo's injury at yesterday's media availability, but the thinning depth on the defensive line is concerning. We at Steelers Wire will provide you health updates on these three players as training camp rolls on in Latrobe — with Friday Night Lights on August 1 potentially offering some more insight on the situation.

For Win-Now Steelers, the Aaron Rodgers-DK Metcalf Connection Means Everything
The usually straight-faced Mike Tomlin couldn't help but crack a smile when talking about quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver DK Metcalf connecting for a touchdown on Day 2 of training camp. But that's what the stoic Steelers coach expects to happen, so no "pep rally" would be thrown, he joked. "That's what I envisioned all summer," Tomlin said last week. Will it manifest enough come fall, though? That's the big question for the win-now Steelers, who've revamped their roster with some big-name, past-their-prime stars (Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay). Their defense is poised to be relatively good, as it's typically been under Tomlin. But the offense, led by Rodgers and Metcalf, will largely determine how far the team goes this season. The offense was a primary culprit in Pittsburgh's demise down the stretch of 2024, when it lost its final five games, including its wild-card playoff game, never scoring more than 17 points. Quarterback Russell Wilson, who assumed starting duties from Justin Fields in Week 7 last season after recovering from a calf injury, went 6-1 in his first seven starts but regressed down the stretch with the rest of the passing attack, which finished 27th in the NFL. Gone now are Wilson and Fields, both of whom departed in free agency, and leading receiver George Pickens, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in May. Metcalf could make a big difference in Pittsburgh's offense, particularly the deep passing game. The 27-year-old has built a reputation as a physical, vertical threat with his sub-4.4 speed and 6-foot-4, 229-pound frame. Among qualified wide receivers last season, Metcalf ranked fourth in deep target rate (25.9%), sixth in air yards per target (13.7) and 11th in yards per reception (15.0), according to Next Gen Stats. He's registered at least 900 receiving yards in each of his six NFL seasons, including 992 last season (to go with 66 receptions and five touchdowns) in 15 games. Metcalf signed a four-year, $132 million extension with the Steelers after they acquired him from the Seattle Seahawks in March. But just how effective Metcalf can be will come down largely to Rodgers, who's well past his prime at age 41. Any mobility he once had is all but gone at this point in his career. He also ranked in the bottom half of the league in most passing categories last season among qualified quarterbacks — passer rating, yards per attempt, completion rate and EPA per dropback among them, per NGS. The Steelers, who signed Rodgers to a one-year deal after a months-long courtship, are hoping to squeeze out whatever he has left in the tank, another year removed from his 2023 Achilles injury. Metcalf acknowledged that the process of building chemistry with a new quarterback can be tough in the beginning, but he's looking forward to picking Rodgers' brain. The two worked out together twice ahead of training camp, including before he signed with Pittsburgh. "Going to listen to everything he says, even the critiques he has of my game," Metcalf said last week. "I'm going to be willing and open to go searching for those answers from him because he's had great receivers in his past and I'm just trying to be another one. "I don't think there's a timetable to [chemistry]," Metcalf added, "but what better way to do it than out here against one of the best defenses in the league." Rodgers believes he has a good relationship with Metcalf to this point, and the 20-year veteran has embraced the communication part of the growth process with the rest of his offensive teammates. In addition to Ramsey, Pittsburgh also acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in the trade last month that sent star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins. Smith set Dolphins franchise records for a tight end in catches (88) and receiving yards (884) last season en route to his first Pro Bowl nod. The Steelers signed veteran running back Kenneth Gainwell and receiver Robert Woods to a one-year deals in free agency as well. "I like the flexibility," Rodgers said Wednesday of coordinator Arthur Smith's offense. "Arthur is not rigid in what he's doing. He wants to tailor the scheme to personnel — when you bring in Kenny Gainwell, bring in a Jonnu Smith, bring a DK Metcalf and myself with some of the stuff I've done over the years. We're trying to find out what guys do best and implement that in the offense. I love that about Arthur, so we're going to keep doing that." Rodgers and Metcalf are suitemates at Steelers training camp, which is held at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. It gives the two a chance to continue conversations outside the meeting room. Tomlin was asked last week if that was planned. "That seems appropriate, doesn't it?" It does, sure. But now, we wait to see if Tomlin's hopes — what he envisioned all summer — will come to full fruition in the fall. Ben Arthur is an NFL reporter for FOX Sports.
