Angels get to deGrom and stop Rangers' 6-game win streak with 6-4 victory
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Newman, Taylor Ward and Luis Rengifo homered to help the Los Angeles Angels beat Texas 6-4 on Monday night, snapping the Rangers' six-game win streak. Kenley Jansen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 19th save. The 37-year-old Jansen hasn't allowed an earned run in 16 consecutive appearances, the longest active streak in the American League and the third-longest of his career. Connor Brogdon (2-1) replaced Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz in the fifth and gave up one run in 1 2/3 innings. Kochanowicz, called up from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier in the day, allowed two runs — none earned — in 4 2/3 innings. Newman's two-run shot opened the scoring in the third, and Zach Neto added an RBI double in the fifth. Josh Jung hit a solo homer and Jonah Heim had an RBI single for the Rangers. Josh Smith and Corey Seager scored when Adolis García reached on an error by right fielder Gustavo Campero, who bobbled a routine flyball. Jacob deGrom (10-3), who was 6-0 in his previous 10 starts, gave up five runs and seven hits with eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner has allowed at least one home run in five consecutive games in the same season for the first time in his 12-year career. Key moment Ward's leadoff homer in the sixth gave the Angels the lead for good, and Rengifo added a two-run drive off reliever Jacob Webb to make it 6-3. Key stat The Angels, who beat Seattle 4-1 on Sunday, have won back-to-back games for the first time since defeating Arizona on July 11 and 12. Up next Patrick Corbin (6-7, 3.78 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Texas on Tuesday against Yusei Kikuchi (4-7, 3.23) in the middle game of the series. ___ AP MLB:

Nine Inch Nails Launches A Comeback With A New Top 10 Hit
Nine Inch Nails scores a top 10 debut on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart with 'As Alive ... More As You Need Me to Be' from the Tron: Ares soundtrack. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 09: Music group Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross appear at the Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California on August 09, 2024. (Photo byfor Disney) Nine Inch Nails has become something of a side project for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the only two current official members of the industrial rock group. Reznor rose to stardom with the outfit in the '90s, pioneering new sounds and showing millions how to express their angst through music, but lately, Ross and Reznor have been more focused on scoring TV and film, where they've been hugely successful, winning major honors such as Emmys, Grammys, and Academy Awards. The two reformed Nine Inch Nails to tour and compose the score for Tron: Ares, the upcoming new film in the Tron universe. The first single from that project, which was released only a few weeks before the movie itself hits theaters, brings the band back to the top 10 on a Billboard chart. "As Alive As You Need Me to Be" Arrives On July 17, Nine Inch Nails released "As Alive As You Need Me to Be," the first single from the Tron: Ares soundtrack. Anticipation for new music from the now-duo was extremely high, as it had been announced some time ago that the group was going to release music for the film under that moniker. Fans of Nine Inch Nails — as well as both Reznor and Ross — didn't disappoint. The single opens at No. 10 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Nine Inch Nails Earns a New Top 10 Hit Nine Inch Nails has only ever reached Billboard's list of the bestselling dance tracks in the United States twice, and both cuts have spent time inside the top 10. In December 2010, "Closer" debuted, but it wasn't until June 2021 — 11 years later — that it reached its all-time peak of No. 5. That cut has spent just over a year on the list. This week, "As Alive As You Need Me to Be" joins it inside the top 10, but just barely. Nine Inch Nails Joins Blackpink and Madonna Three tracks debut on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, and Nine Inch Nails earns the lowest launch of the bunch. Blackpink's "Jump" starts at No. 1, while Madonna's "Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)" opens at No. 8. A Single Years in the Making "As Alive As You Need Me to Be" is Nine Inch Nails' first single of its own since 2018, when "God Break Down the Door" was pushed from the album Bad Witch. The group has released music since then, including a pair of albums and a collaboration with the American industrial outfit Health, but this Tron: Ares single is easily the most exciting bit of news in the Nine Inch Nails world in some time.

Seattle's Cal Raleigh calls his 40th homer 'a cool milestone' during the catcher's historic season
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Cal Raleigh reached another landmark in his incredible season Saturday night when he drilled his 40th home run deep into the right field bleachers at Angel Stadium. Becoming the seventh catcher in major league history to hit 40 homers has been all but inevitable for Raleigh ever since the Seattle Mariners slugger got to the All-Star break with 38 — and then won the Home Run Derby .

New Mariners slugger Josh Naylor loves pressure. Can he help deliver Seattle a postseason run?
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Batting Josh Naylor in the cleanup position is no big deal. After all, as he noted when asked on Friday, 'I (did that) two days ago.' But, for the Mariners, manager Dan Wilson penciling in their newly acquired first baseman at No. 4 in the order is a signal of the expectations Naylor's presence carries. Advertisement 'The way he swings the bat, bringing the experience that he does in the middle of the lineup,' Wilson said, 'the guy knows how to hit in those situations. A guy that's going to have a great approach in those situations.' Naylor was acquired by the Mariners from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for lefty pitching prospect Brandyn Garcia and righty prospect Ashton Izzi. The Diamondbacks had been telegraphing their intentions to sell, and Naylor's strong season and expiring contract made him a prime candidate to be dealt. The lefty slugger got the call after going out to dinner in Pittsburgh on Thursday night. His relaxing off day suddenly turned into a whirlwind. He awoke at 4 a.m. on Friday for a cross-country flight back to the West Coast. The 28-year-old walked into the clubhouse around 3:30 p.m. on Friday and walked around introducing himself to teammates, while a clubhouse attendant had him try out different-sized hats. Coming into the season, offense was the biggest question mark on Seattle's roster. That, however, has been a surprising strength, led by an MVP-caliber season from catcher Cal Raleigh. The Mariners are sixth in MLB in home runs and eighth in OPS. Looking good in blue. #TridentsUp — Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) July 26, 2025 First base has been a huge weakness, though, even amid a strong offensive campaign. They DFA'd Rowdy Tellez earlier this season, mixing in Luke Raley, Donovan Solano and a few games with Dylan Moore ever since. As a team, the position has produced just a .708 OPS, well below the .807 OPS that Naylor brings. 'I'm just excited to be here,' Naylor said. 'I've heard nothing but great things about this org, about this team, about how hard they play. They're a tough group.' The narrative entering this season was a near-universal condemnation of the Mariners and their president of baseball operations, Jerry Dipoto, who made almost no external acquisitions to improve a dreadful offense from 2024. With an elite, young starting rotation, it felt like Seattle could be blowing a fruitful competitive window. Advertisement What the team has failed to do in free agency, however, it has made up for in deadline deals. Last season, they acquired Randy Arozarena, who was an All-Star this year. Two years before that, starter Luis Castillo came over from Cincinnati. Naylor will be relied on to crush right-handed pitching, which he's done this season to an .884 OPS, well above his team's average of .742. And the front office might not be done, as they've reportedly been interested in a reunion with third baseman Eugenio Suárez, also with Arizona. Naylor's power numbers have been down this season. He has just 11 home runs, compared to 31 during his All-Star season in 2024. But he has improved his on-base numbers, elevating that number up to .360, compared to .320 last year. He's gotten better at hitting four-seam fastballs, batting .328 against the pitch this year, as opposed to .256 last season. He's even stolen 11 bags. He made a point to say that he likes hitting in Seattle, which is notoriously baseball's most friendly ballpark to pitchers. But he likes the view of the batter's eye, he said, and feels comfortable playing in the Mariners' home park. 'I'm excited to win,' Naylor said. 'I really enjoy impacting players, just being myself and enjoying the day-to-day.' In a wide-open American League, the Mariners will have as good a chance as anyone to make a deep postseason run, and Naylor could be a big part of that. He's played in three postseasons and is known for hitting clutch home runs. Josh Naylor crushes a 405 foot solo homer off of Gerrit Cole and celebrated by carrying a baby around the bases. 🎥 @MLB — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) October 17, 2022 The roster around him is already good. Seattle's starting rotation has dealt with more injuries than it did last year, but Logan Gilbert and George Kirby — both of whom spent time on the IL this year — are healthy, while Bryan Woo and Castillo have been very good. The Mariners are trying to capitalize on what could be their best chance at a playoff run in 25 years. They remain locked in the second wild-card spot, with just two games separating them from being out of the postseason picture entirely. Advertisement Naylor's presence gives this team the offensive boost it didn't get in the offseason, and it could be the difference between another late-season flameout or a deep run. 'I love the word pressure, I think it's a gift. It's an opportunity,' Naylor said. 'I'm ready to have fun, I'm ready to enjoy the moments with these guys and win and go a long way.'

Zach Neto delivers walk-off hit in Angels' 3-2 victory over Mariners
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Zach Neto capped his bobblehead giveaway night with a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning to lift the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Jose Rodriguez hit two solo homers for the Mariners, but Angels reliever Ryan Zeferjahn (6-3) escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the top of the 10th, and Neto grounded his winning hit off the glove of diving second baseman Cole Young for the first walk-off hit of his career.
