Giants' Patrick Bailey hits inside-the-park walk-off home run vs. Phillies

How about a walk-off inside-the-park home run to cap off your baseball viewing for the day? That's exactly what theSan Francisco Giants' Patrick Bailey did late into the night onTuesday, July 8. With his team trailing the visitingPhiladelphia Phillies3-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Bailey hit a long drive offPhilliespitcher Jordan Romano that struck the brick wall in right-center field. The ball did a crazy carom off the asymmetrical outfield wall at Oracle Park and rolled down the warning track as Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh frantically gave chase. Take a look at this thrilling finish: A leadoff double by Casey Schmitt followed by a single by Wilmer Flores set the stage for Bailey's dramatic heroics, which delivereda 4-3 victory. The win was the Giants' fourth straight, lifting the team's record to 51-42, good forsecond in the NL Westand just five games back of theLos Angeles Dodgers, who have lost five straight. Bailey's walk-off inside-the-parker was reminiscent of onehit by the Giants' Ángel Pagánin the same ballpark in 2013. Pagán hit his walk-off home run in the 10th inning against theColorado Rockies. Pagán's batted ball took a similar trajectory as Bailey's hit, bouncing off the right-center field wall and rolling down the warning track as outfielders gave chase after the unexpected bounce. The most recent walk-off inside-the-park home run happened on Aug. 19, 2016, whenCleveland's Tyler Naquin hit oneagainst theToronto Blue Jays. The biggest stories, every morning.

Giants catcher Bailey makes history with game-ending, inside-the-park home run

Giants catcher Bailey makes history with game-ending, inside-the-park home run

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patrick Bailey's entrance into the Major League Baseball record books on Tuesday night began with a tight swing that sent a fastball from Phillies reliever Jordan Romano into Triples Alley. It ended with Bailey chugging his way around third base then getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit agame-ending, inside-the-park home run. The three-run shot had an exit velocity of 103.4 mph and bounced off the brick wall at the Giants waterfront ballpark. It ricocheted back toward center field as Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh gave chase. Bailey said his initial thought was to get a triple before he saw third base coach Matt Williams waving him in. "Off the ball I just knew I got it well," Bailey said. "I saw it was towards Triples Alley and I was like, 'Oh I gotta go. I at least gotta get to third.' Once I saw the bounce, I was like 'All right, just don't fall over.' " It's the ninth time this season that the Giants have won in their final at-bat, tops in the majors. It was also the first time in nearly nine years that a player has hit a walk-off, inside-the-park home run in the majors. Cleveland's Tyler Naquin was the last to do so on Aug. 19, 2016. The three-run home run lifted the Giants to a4-3 victorythat had the Oracle Park crowd roaring as Bailey crossed the plate. "He has gotten some big hits this year," Giants manager Bob Melvin said. "In big situations he's come through. Not as much as he would like. Hopefully that's something that catapults him. Haven't seen him drive a ball like that in a while." Bailey couldn't recall if he had previously hit an inside-the-park home run at any level. And as nice as this one was, Bailey said that he would have preferred to hit a regular home run. "Tired," Bailey said when asked how he felt. "I wished it would have gone over the fence." ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/MLB

Jack Schlossbergis not happy about the new television series about his family. FX'sAmerican Love Story, which premieres in February 2026, will recount the high-profile romance between Schlossberg's uncleJohn F. Kennedy Jr. and his wifeCarolyn Bessette. Schlossberg is the daughter of JFK Jr.'s sister,Caroline Kennedy, and the grandson ofPresident John F. Kennedy. In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, July 8, Schlossberg had a short but bold message forAmerican Love Story's showrunner,Ryan Murphy.

Last month, he took to his Instagram stories to share his thoughts on the show. "Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man," he said. "For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with the new show being made about him, the answer is no, and there's really not much we can do." TheVoguepolitical correspondent explained that his uncle is considered a public figure, making it possible for a series to be developed about him without requiring permission from his surviving family members. "I hope those making this show about him take seriously what he stood for in his life, all that he achieved in it, and that they donate some of the profits [from] what they're making to the John F. Kennedy Library," he continued. "For the record, I think admiration for my uncle John is great. What I don't think is great is profiting off of it in a grotesque way." Kennedy and Bessette were married from 1996 until their deaths in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts in 1999.

João Pedro scores twice vs. boyhood team, Chelsea beats Fluminense 2-0 to reach Club World Cup final

João Pedro scores twice vs. boyhood team, Chelsea beats Fluminense 2-0 to reach Club World Cup final

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — João Pedro scored twice against his boyhood team in his first start for Chelsea, leading the Blues over Fluminense 2-0 Tuesday to assure an all-European Club World Cup final. A 23-year-old who had been at Fluminense from about age 10 until leaving for Watford in 2020, João Pedro scored in the 18th and 56th minutes and refused to celebrate either goal in a sign of respect for his former club. Hejoined Chelsea from Brightonon July 2. Seeking its second world championship, Chelsea advanced to Sunday's title match against the winner of Wednesday's game between European champion Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. European teams will win their 12th straight Club World Cup title and 17th in 18 tries, the lone exception a 2012 victory by Brazil's Corinthians over Chelsea, which won in 2021. Fluminense was initially awarded a first-half penalty kick but it was taken away in a video review. Chelsea's Moisés Caicedo injured his left ankle in second-half stoppage time. A crowd of 70,556 was 10-15% short of capacity at MetLife Stadium, where it was 93 degrees (34 Celsius) at kickoff with humidity that made it feel like 104 (40). FIFA cut ticket prices from $473.90 to $13.40 last week. Chelsea went ahead after German Cano lost the ball to João Pedro, and he poked it to Pedro Neto, who dribbled down a flank and crossed. An attempted clearance went to João Pedro, who curled a 20-yard shot inside the far post. João Pedro took two steps to start to celebrate, then stopped and clasped his hands. Chelsea doubled the lead after Facundo Bernal lost the ball just outside the Blues' penalty area to Pedro Neto, who poked the ball to Cole Palmer. He beat three challenges and dished off to Enzo Fernández, who side-footed a pass to João Pedro. He cut around Ignácio and scored off the underside of the crossbar. Marc Cucurella cleared Hércules' shot off the line in the 27th and French referee François Letexier awarded a penalty kick in the 35th minute when René's free kick struck the left arm of defender Trevoh Chalobah. Letexier reversed his decision in a video review, concluding Chalobah's arm was in a natural position. Key moment Letexier reversing his PK decision at the recommendation of Colombian video assistant referee Nicolas Gallo. Takeaways Chelsea has earned $88,435,000 to $103,815,000 for reaching the final, the amount depending on a participation fee FIFA has not disclosed. They said it "When I was young, I didn't have nothing, They gave everything to me." — João Pedro on Fluminense. "We depart with our heads held high." — Fluminense coach Renato Gaúcho. ___ AP soccer:https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Mike Brown introduced as Knicks head coach: 'My expectations are high'

Mike Brown introduced as Knicks head coach: 'My expectations are high'

Mike Brown addressed the New York media for the first time since beinghired as the head coachof the New York Knicks last week. Brown was officially announced as the 32nd coach of the team on Monday after former coachTom Thibodeau was firedJune 3. Thibodeau was in charge of the Knicks for five years but was dismissed three days after the team lost their Eastern Conference Finals series to the Indiana Pacers in six games. On Tuesday, Brown took to the podium and expressed his excitement about taking over the franchise. He also addressed how he's dealing with the expectations of coaching the team. "You talk about a historic franchise. Madison Square Garden. It's iconic. Our fans, they're the most knowledgable and passionate in all of sports."- Mike Brownpic.twitter.com/LLNJrBpX09 — Knicks Videos (@sny_knicks)July 8, 2025 "You talk about a historic franchise. Madison Square Garden. It's iconic. Our fans, they're the most knowledgable and passionate in all of sports,"Brown said. "There's a lot of work to be done. We have an outstanding roster, what they did in the playoffs shows their potential. I've had great conversations with all of our players and I'm looking forward to growing positive relationships with them over time. "Nobody has any bigger expectations than I do. My expectations are high. This is the Knicks. I love and embrace the expectations that come along with it. So I'm looking forward to it." Brown complimented the impact Thibodeau had during his tenure with the team, especially during their recent playoff run. He also raved about the team's recent signings: guard Jordan Clarkson and center Guerschon Yabusele. "I thought Tom Thibodeau did a great job, and the guys did a fantastic job last year," Brown said. "But I'm looking forward. We just added two new additions to the team. They're gonna bring a lot of versatility to how we're gonna play. I can't wait to get on the court." Brown began his head-coaching career in 2005 with a five-year stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He would return to Cleveland in 2013 after a brief tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2011-12. Brown became the associate head coach for the Golden State Warriors before his memorable run with the Sacramento Kings. Under Brown's leadership, the Kings broke a 16-year playoff drought in 2023 before losing to the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Brown takes over a Knicks team that gave a breath of hope to a frustrated fanbase by earning the No. 3 seed in the East. The Knicks held a 51-31 record and eliminated the Detroit Pistons before dethroning the Boston Celtics, but ultimately fell to Indiana in the East finals. The Knicks have not won a title since 1973, but Brown is optimistic and confident in building a winning culture in the Big Apple. "Our goal is to build a sustainable winning culture that produces championships," Brown said. "That's why I'm here."

This fits right in with today's sports-related theme.

STIM (57A: Use a fidget cube, for example) STIM, short for stimming, refers to a self-stimulatory behavior characterized by repetitive action, such as tapping a pencil, drumming fingers on a table, playing with afidget cube, or rocking back and forth.

While hunting, EMPEROR penguins can stay submerged for around 20 minutes and dive to depths of 1,850 feet. CORRELATION (26D: What does not imply causation, it's said) This clue made me smile.

Designed to raise awareness of pets waiting for adoption, the show features shelter dogs "playing football" in a model stadium. The Puppy Bowl that viewers see is a compilation of three days of filming from a number of cameras, some of which are hidden in toys and water bowls, and some which have peanut butter around the lens to encourage the dogs to lick them. Since the second Puppy Bowl, there has been a Kitty Halftime show - 30 minutes of kittens playing with laser pointers, balls of yarn, a variety of toys, and a scratching post. It's all adorable.

I had to laugh a bit when I realized what today's theme is. I have an extremely limited knowledge of both SPORTS and CARS! However, that wasn't a problem here. With the help of crossing answers, my limited knowledge was enough. I appreciate that the theme answers represent three different vehicle types – coupe, van, and truck – as well as three different sports – football, baseball, and basketball.

Kevin Jonas Lost ‘Almost All’ of His Money After the Jonas Brothers' 2013 Breakup

Kevin Jonas Lost 'Almost All' of His Money After the Jonas Brothers' 2013 Breakup

Lewis Howes/YouTube Kevin Jonas opened up about his financial journey following the Jonas Brothers' split in 2013 The singer appeared alongside his brothers on Lewis Howes' "The School of Greatness" podcast where he confessed that he almost lost all of his money Kevin said his financial troubles came as a result of business deals that weren't the "right partnership" Kevin Jonasis opening up about losing "almost all" of his money following the Jonas Brothers' split. Kevin, 37, appeared onLewis Howes' "The School of Greatness" podcastalongside his brothersNick Jonas, 32, andJoe Jonas, 35, on Monday, July 7. They discussed how they found what truly matters in life in the midst of losing everything. Kevin confessed on the podcast that he made a series of business deals in his younger years that ultimately led to him losing almost everything. "I've seen the beginning of the success to financial success — not knowing what money really was and understanding it — to not having [it], to losing almost all of it," Kevin told the podcast host. John Nacion/Penske Media via Getty Howes, 42, reacted with surprise to Kevin's confession, asking if he really almost lost all of his money. "Yeah, most of it, like, down to the one 10 percent left." the oldest of the Jonas brothers responded. The financial troubles came about nine years ago as a result of a bad partnership, Kevin said. "I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time," the singer said before continuing. "Sadly, it wasn't the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying" Kevin then stopped himself from elaborating, saying that he couldn't share any more details. He did add, though, that he "learned a lot of lessons" from the experience. "Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together," Kevin said, continuing. "It was kind of fortuitous in a way." Kevin said he was able to reevaluate and apply those difficult financial lessons the second time around, and it changed the way he thinks about the music business. Disney/Chris Willard The Jonas Brothers experienced a whirlwind of success beginning in 2005, when they embarked on their first tour. They released their debut albumIt's About Timein 2006 and starred in Disney'sCamp Rockin 2008. But in 2013, thebrothers called it quits. "When it ended it was not good," the youngest Jonas Brother said in an interview with Z100 in 2019. "It was a couple years of rebuilding our family, and in our mind it seemed impossible for us to do this ever again." The band split for five years and during that time they worked on their own personal projects. Kevin followed hisentrepreneurial pursuits, which included creating a company called The Blu Market, providing social media influencers with strategic support. He also invested in the tech world, helping create the restaurant-finding app Yood and becoming a partner of social media app We Heart It. Then, in 2019, the brothers announced their comeback onJames Corden's Late Late Show.Their album,Happiness Begins,was later released in June of that year, along with a documentary detailing the band's history. According to Kevin, making the Amazon Prime Video film,Chasing Happiness, was part oftheir healing process. "[It] was great because we had to have real conversations and not hold back," Kevin said, comparing the production to therapy. "So for us, it worked out in a good way."

Mary Lou Retton's Arrest Captured on Bodycam — Mugshots of Former Gold Medalist Released

Mary Lou Retton's Arrest Captured on Bodycam — Mugshots of Former Gold Medalist Released

Fairmont PD/ET/YouTube Mary Lou Retton was arrested in May on a DUI charge in West Virginia The Olympian's arrest was captured on body cam footage She made history in 1984 as the first American female gymnast to win an individual all-around gold medal Bodycam footage ofMary Lou Retton'sMay arrest shows her in an apparently distressed state as she tries to perform a sobriety test for West Virginia law enforcement officials. Retton wasarrested on a DUI chargeon May 17 in Marion County, W. Va., according to court records reviewed by PEOPLE at the time. The five-time Olympic medalist was allegedly spotted in her car in a Marion County AutoZone parking lot witha screw-top bottle of wine in her passenger seat, the Associated Press reported, citing a criminal complaint. Retton, 57, is seen in the bodycam footageobtained byEntertainment Tonightas an officer with the Fairmont City Police Department instructs her to carry out the sobriety test. As the officer guides her through the steps, Retton appears compliant, though at times she expresses shock at the situation, gasping and saying, "Oh my God." She appears to struggle to complete the test, which requires her to put her foot up six inches off the ground, and count until instructed by the officer to stop. Retton appears to struggle to count past nine. At one point, she seems to have trouble breathing, and has to get her oxygen, tying the tube to her nose while doing the test. Retton has been relying on daily oxygen since her recovery from aserious bout of pneumoniain 2023 — an illness so severe that doctors briefly believed she might not survive, she told PEOPLE in 2024. In July 2024, theDancing with the Starsalum told PEOPLE that she was so gravely ill at one point during her month-long hospital stay that the doctors had toldher four daughtersshe might not make it. "It's been really hard," she told PEOPLE in 2024. "My lungs are so scarred. It will be a lifetime of recovery. My physicality was the only thing I had and it was taken away from me. It's embarrassing." Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Retton entered a no contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge and was slapped with a $100 fine, standard for first-time, non-aggravated offenses in the area. Following her arrest, she told PEOPLE in a statement thatshe is taking accountabilityfor the incident. "What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses.

Don't panic, Denver Nuggets fans. Nikola Jokić won't sign a contract extension with the Nuggets this offseason,according to the Denver Post. But there's a perfectly good — and obvious — reason for the decision. He'll stand to secure roughly $80 million more if he waits to sign an extension until 2026. Per the Post, Jokić has informed the Nuggets he won't sign an extension this summer, the first offseason he was eligible to do so. Jokić is approaching the third year of a five-year, $276 million supermax contract that runs through the 2027-28 season. The final season of the deal comes with a player option, so his services are secured in Denver through the 2026-27 season. Jokić is eligible this summer to sign a three-year, $212 million extension ($70.6 million AAV) that would keep him under Denver's control into his mid-30s. The precise value of an extension if he waits until 2026 isn't clear. But permultiple reportsincluding the Post's, waiting until next summer would net Jokić an additional year on the extension and an estimated $80 million more in guaranteed money. That's plenty of reason to exercise patience. The decision by Jokić was expected and reported on the first day he was eligible to sign an extension. Nuggets governor Josh Kroenke anticipated the decision in comments to media in June. "We're definitely going to offer it," Kroenke said of an extension for Jokić. "I'm not sure if he's going to accept it or not, because we're also going to explain every financial parameter around him signing now versus signing later. "To be completely transparent, that's the way we always are. And then he makes the best decision for himself and his family, and we'll support him in it." Jokić, 30, is a three-time MVP who led the Nuggets to the franchise's first NBA championship in 2023. He's coming off another MVP-caliber season in which he finished second in voting to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Extension talk arrives amid an offseason of change in Denver in which the Nuggets have hired a new coach and revamped their front office after dismissing head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth late in the season. With new coach David Adelman at the helm, the Nuggets pushed the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder to seven games in a second-round playoff series that exposed the flaws in Denver's roster. Denver's front-office tandem of executive vice presidents Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallacehas been aggressive this offseason in retooling Denver's rosterin hopes of maximizing the remainder of Jokić's prime — and convincing him to stay. The Nuggets traded Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets in a deal that returned sharp-shooting wing Cam Johnson and opened salary cap flexibility for Denver to address significant depth issues. They've capitalized on that flexibility by reuniting with wing defender Bruce Brown, adding more shooting in veteran guard Tim Hardaway Jr. and providing much-needed post relief for Jokić intrading for center Jonas Valančiūnas— thoughit remains to be seen if Valančiūnas will play for the Nuggetsas he's being courted overseas. The moves signal Denver's intent to return to championship contention. And the Nuggets are certainly hoping they'll nudge Jokić into signing a four-year extension next summer.
