Numerous personal items and jewelry were stolen. No one was at home when the burglary occured. Police said the home is "reportedly" owned by Marte. Maricopa County Assessor's Office records show Marte owns a home on the block near the investigation. Police say the investigation is ongoing. Marte hit a two-run double in the first inning of the NL's win, whichwas secured after a home run contestat the end of the game after the score was tied after nine innings. The burglary is the latest in a series of thefts from the homes of high-profile athletes acoross the country this year.

MLB All-Star Game has slight drop in viewers despite having its first swing-off

MLB All-Star Game has slight drop in viewers despite having its first swing-off

NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball's All-Star Game — which featured the contest's first swing-off to determine the winner — averaged 7,185,000 viewers Tuesday night on Fox, according to Nielsen. It was Fox's most-watched telecast since the Super Bowl and the network's best audience for a Tuesday night since last year's Game 4 of the World Series. However, it was a 3.5% decrease from the 2024 game and the second-lowest for the Midsummer Classic. Kyle Schwarber's three home runs gave theNational League a 4-3 victory in the swing-offafter the American League rallied to tie it at 6-6 in the ninth inning after trailing by six runs in the seventh. The audience for the game in Atlanta peaked at 8.1 million viewers from 9:15-9:30 p.m. EDT. Major League Baseball and the players' association made the change in 2022amid concerns about running out of pitchers because hardly anyone throws more than an inning in the game anymore, The game was decided by having three batters from each league take three swings each off coaches in what was baseball's equivalent of soccer's penalty-kicks shootout. Baseball continues to have the best ratings for an event featuring All-Stars. The NHL did not have an All-Star Game this year, while the NBA's averaged 4.7 million on TNT. The NFL's Pro Bowl games, a series of skills competitions and flag football, also averaged 4.7 million on ABC. Monday night's Home Run Derby averaged 5.73 million on ESPN, a 5% increase over last year. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

Dabo Swinney hilariously mixes up LSU coach Brian Kelly for country singer on vacation

Dabo Swinney hilariously mixes up LSU coach Brian Kelly for country singer on vacation

One would think that after meeting head-to-head four times,Clemson footballcoachDabo Swinneywould knowLSU footballcoachBrian Kellyrather well. That, however, is now in question after a vacation that Swinney took this offseason. And for that, when the two veteran coaches meet up pregame at the 50-yard line in Week 1 of the 2025college footballseason, they will have an all-time laugh. In a media availability on July 15, the 18th-year Tigers head coach shared a story of ahilarious mix-up with the head coachof his Week 1 opponent with a country music artist that has the same name while on vacation with his wife, Kathleen, his brother and sister-in-law in Grayton Beach, Florida. "My sister-in-law, she's saying, 'Hey, Brian Kelly has a place. His wife has a gift shop right on the corner there in Grayton Beach.' I'm like, 'Oh really? That's pretty cool.' I had no idea," Swinney said July 15 during a media availability. "... Me and Kath walk into the store and Kath buys something because she's trying to support Mrs. Kelly or whatever we're doing." Dabo Swinney got the wrong Brian Kelly.In a hysterical clip, Swinney mistook Brian Kelly, LSU's head coach, for Brian Kelley, who is best known for his work with Florida Georgia Line.This clip is seriously a must watch.Swinney and Kelly will have a laugh in August.pic.twitter.com/V6WVERuKyd — Grayson Mann (@gray_mann21)July 15, 2025 REQUIRED READING:Dabo Swinney has Clemson football primed to soar in transfer portal era The Swinneys would then continue walking around the store and headed outside to a backyard concert stage, where the two-time national championship coach took photos around/on the stage that had a sign of "Brian Kelley performing today" and sent them to the LSU coach. That was until his brother's friend broke the news to Swinney's wife on the side that it wasn'ttheBrian Kelly that Dabo Swinney went 3-1 against while Kelly was at Notre Dame. "... So now Kath goes, 'Babe! Brian Kelley's a singer for Florida Georgia Line. And I went, 'What?! I've been firing all these pictures off to Brian Kelly.' He's over there probably going, 'What the hell?! This is an idiot. What's this dude doing?'" So, how did the actual Brian Kelly respond to Swinney's texts? Perhaps exactly like you'd expect he would. "He sends me a text and is like, 'Yeah, you just can't get away from Brian Kelly,' or something like that," Swinney said. "And I'm sure he was like, 'I have no idea what the context of this is,' but anyway, then I realize that it wasn't him and I'm like, 'Oh my god. We'll have a laugh over that.'" Swinney and Kelly are set to meet up in Week 1 on Saturday, Aug. 30 whenClemsonwelcomes in LSU to Memorial Stadium for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff in "Death Valley."

Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon final draws biggest ratings in 6 years as tennis' next generation takes over

Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon final draws biggest ratings in 6 years as tennis' next generation takes over

If the ratings for the 2025 Wimbledon men's singles final are any judge, fans are starting to embrace tennis' newest generation. The final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz,which Sinner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, drew an average of 2.9 million viewers on ESPN, the network announced Wednesday. The numbers reportedly peaked at 4 million viewers at the end of the match. On the women's side,Iga Swiatek's 6-0, 6-0 double-bageling of Amanda Anisimova in the finalaveraged only 1.3 million viewers, not a surprise given how non-competitive the match was. That men's viewership isn't just a 31% increase from last year's final between Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. It's the best number the tournament has seen since the 2019 final between Djokovic and Roger Federer, the last time two members of the sport's previous Big 3 (with Rafael Nadal) squared off at Wimbledon. That 2019 match saw an average of 3.8 million viewers tuned in. Since then, Wimbledon has seen finals featuring Djokovic against lesser opponents in 2021 and 2022 and Alcaraz beating Djokovic in 2022 and 2023. The tournament was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From the time Federer and Nadal began declining more than half a decade ago, tennis has been waiting for a new generation to take over after watching three guys win 45 of 59 Grand Slams from 2004-24. Add in Andy Murray and it becomes 48 of 59. Some talented players have emerged, and even won a Slam in the cases of Daniil Medvedev and Dominic Thiem, but none of them stuck until the 23-year-old Sinner and 22-year-old Alcaraz. Together, the Italian and Spaniard have won every Grand Slam since Djokovic's most recent title at the 2023 U.S. Open and are now entering seemingly every major tournament on a collision course with each other. It appeared the sport of tennis would be in a worse place when Djokovic, the previous generation's standard-bearer, called it a career,which he has been hinting at recently. Now, there are two more players on pace for an all-time career, with plenty of tennis ahead of them.

Joaquin Phoenix Says Infamous Letterman Interview Was ‘One of the Worst Nights of My Life’

Joaquin Phoenix Says Infamous Letterman Interview Was 'One of the Worst Nights of My Life'

Joaquin Phoenix Says Infamous Letterman Interview Was 'One of the Worst Nights of My Life'originally appeared onParade. Joaquin Phoenixis still haunted by one of his most awkward late-night moments in TV. During Tuesday's appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Phoenix reflected on his now-infamous2009 interviewwithDavid Letterman, calling it "one of the worst nights of my life." "Yeah, it was strange," Phoenix said, after Colbert pointed out it had been 15 years since his last appearance on the show. "Because in some ways it was a success and it was also just one of the worst nights of my life." TheEddingtonactor, 50, was promoting theCasey Affleck-directed mockumentaryI'm Still Hereat the time of the originalLate Show with David Lettermaninterview. Phoenix had adopted a disheveled, mumbling persona in public as part of the film, claiming to have retired from acting to become a hip-hop artist. That persona followed him onto Letterman's stage — with memorably uncomfortable results. "As part of the promotion for a film that I had made, I was coming on the show, and so I was stuck," Phoenix told Colbert. "I had to keep it going." He admitted he tried to give Letterman a heads-up. "When I came on the show with Dave, I originally did the pre-interview in character, and I realized that it was just a little silly," he said. "So I called them back and I said, 'Listen, this is what I'm doing. I'm coming out here and I'm doing this whole thing. I just want Dave to like lacerate me, I just want it to be really dangerous.'" Still, the result was deeply regrettable: "It was horrible, it was so uncomfortable, I regret it," he said. "I'll never do it again. I'm so sorry." Colbert noted that Letterman may not be watching, but Phoenix made a point to offer an apology anyway: "He might be, and I just need to say I'm sorry." Phoenix did return to Letterman's show in 2010 for a follow-up appearance after the mockumentary's release, but joked to Colbert, "I imagine they did like a major exorcism after I left." Phoenix's latest film,Eddington, also starsPedro Pascal, Austin Butler, andEmma Stone. The movie hits theaters July 18.
