Scherzer, Springer lead Blue Jays to 7-3 win over Pirates

Max Scherzer pitched six strong innings to notch his 220th career win, and George Springer hit an early two-run home run as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3 on Tuesday night. Scherzer (4-2) allowed one run and four hits with four strikeouts and three walks. The 18-year veteran has pitched at least six innings in five consecutive starts. The Blue Jays (74-53) built a 5-0 lead against Mitch Keller in the first two innings. Springer hit a 423-foot shot to center field for his 20th homer of the season in the second inning. The Blue Jays scored three runs in the first when Alejandro Kirk had an RBI single and Nathan Lukes followed with a two-run single. Kirk added a two-run home run, his 10th, off Colin Holderman in the seventh inning to make 7-1. The All-Star catcher finished with three hits and three RBIs. Keller (5-12) was tagged for five runs in 3 1/3 innings after giving up six runs in four innings in a loss at National League-leading Milwaukee in his previous start last Wednesday. The Pirates lost for the eighth time in 10 games as they fell deeper into the NL Central basement. Blue Jays All-Star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sat out because of tightness in his left hamstring. An MRI performed earlier Tuesday revealed no damage. The Blue Jays are 25-13 in interleague games, tops in the major leagues. The Pirates loaded the bases with none out in the second inning against Scherzer but managed only one run on a groundout by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The rubber game of the three-game series is set for Wednesday with Chris Bassitt (11-6, 4.22 ERA) pitching for the Blue Jays. Johan Oviedo (0-0, 18.00) is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to start for the Pirates.

Bye-bye Abu Dhabi? Dana White crushes Khamzat's big plans with ‘de Ridder vs. Hernandez'-led UFC Vancouver event

OH WELL?!?!?!? A gigantic Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight fight is going down in 'Raincouver.' UFC CEO, Dana White, announced today that No. 5-ranked Reinier de Ridder will take on No. 6-seeded Anthony Hernandez in the main event of UFC Vancouver on Sat., Oct. 18, 2025, inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The announcement shakes up the 185-pound division as brand new champion, Khamzat Chimaev, had been eyeing a quick turnaround at UFC 321, which takes place just one week later in Abu Dhabi. For now, 'Borz' — who wiped the Octagon floor with now-former champion, Dricus du Plessis, at UFC 319 this past weekend (Aug. 16, 2025) in Chicago — will have to wait. Even though Chimaev specifically called out 'RDR' … and the surging Dutch finisher agreed. Nevertheless, de Ridder (21-2) has been red-hot since entering the Octagon, and UFC Vancouver will mark his fourth appearance of 2025. The Dutch standout is coming off a decision win over former Middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker. Prior to that, he shocked the MMA world by becoming the first man to defeat Bo Nickal (watch highlights), then followed it up with a submission over Kevin Holland at UFC 311. It was impressive. Meanwhile, Hernandez (15-2) is fresh off a 'Performance of the Night' bonus-winning, four-round demolition (and submission) of Roman Dolidze. 'Fluffy' is riding an eight-fight win streak — the longest active run in the Middleweight division. Even more impressive? Hernandez has finished six of those eight victories. In addition to the pivotal headliner, White also announced that Kevin Holland will return for the fifth time this year to face Canada's own Mike Malott. Holland (2-2 in 2025) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Daniel Rodriguez, while Malott is fresh off a stoppage win over Charles Radtke. Checkout what UFC Vancouver looks like so far: Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez Marlon Vera vs. Aiemann Zahabi Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius Azamat Bekoev vs. Yousri Belgaroui HyunSung Park vs. Bruno Silva Danny Barlow vs. Djorden Santos Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira

Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez to headline UFC Fight Night 262 in Vancouver

A key middleweight matchup is set to headline the UFC's trip to Vancouver. Reinier de Ridder will face Anthony Hernandez in what will be an opportunity to make a statement to earn a shot at the newly crowned champion, Khamzat Chimaev. UFC Fight Night 262 takes place at Rogers Arena on Oct. 18. The promotion officially announced the matchup Tuesday. De Ridder (21-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has quickly climbed the ladder in the middleweight division, winning his first three fights by stoppage, and picking up a split decision nod over former champ Robert Whittaker in his last outing. The main event result against Whittaker extended his winning streak to five. Hernandez (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) is coming off an impressive outing in a main event against Roman Dolidze earlier this month to extend his current winning streak to eight. The fourth-round Performance of the Night submission put "Fluffy" in the mix at the top of the division, which has suddenly become packed with title challengers. In addition to the De Ridder vs. Hernandez main event announcement, the UFC added a fun welterweight bout between Kevin Holland (28-14 MMA, 15-11 UFC) and Canada's Mike Malott (12-2-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC), who will get the opportunity to fight on home soil again. With the addition, the current UFC Fight Night 262 lineup includes: Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez Marlon Vera vs. Aiemann Zahabi Kevin Holland vs. Mike Malott Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius HyunSung Park vs. Bruno Silva Danny Barlow vs. Djorden Santos Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira Azamat Bekoev vs. Yousri Belgaroui This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: UFC Vancouver: Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez set to headline
