Where LSU football WR Aaron Anderson ranks among returning SEC receivers
That puts Anderson tied for No. 2 among returning SEC wideouts. The only returning SEC wide receiver with more yards than Anderson last fall is Missouri's Kevin Coleman (Coleman spent 2024 at Mississippi State). With Anderson at No. 2 is Ole Miss WR Cayden Lee. Anderson's 61 receptions rank No. 2 among the group, behind Coleman's 74 catches.
Anderson is firmly established as one of the top receivers in the SEC. And LSU is optimistic about Anderson taking yet another step in 2025. LSU brought in transfers at the wide receiver position, but Anderson has the clearest path to being Garrett Nussmeier's top target. With LSU's offense expected to be prolific, if Anderson is LSU's leading receiver again, he'll likely be All-SEC with an All-American ceiling.

Kyle Schwarber's 43rd homer sends Phillies to 6-2 win over Nats. Closer Duran injured in 9th
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit his 43rd homer, a tiebreaking, three-run shot in the seventh inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid. Bryce Harper followed Schwarber with a drive over the center-field fence, the sixth time this season the Phillies have homered back-to-back. Both ex-Nats were cheered by a pro-Philly crowd of 35,143, and Schwarber got 'M-V-P!' chants when he batted in the ninth. Phillies closer Jhoan Duran, pitching in a non-save situation in the ninth, took a sharp grounder off his right foot from Paul DeJong and came up limping. After a lengthy visit by trainers, he rode off the field in the Nationals' bullpen cart. After a solid start by Nationals ace MacKenzie Gore, the National League East-leading Phillies feasted on last-place Washington's inexperienced bullpen. Clayton Beeter (0-2) walked two batters in the seventh and gave way to Konnor Pilkington, who hung a 1-0 slider that Schwarber sent 456 feet into the right-field stands. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler was limited to five innings for the second consecutive start. He allowed two runs on four hits, including the third career homer by Nationals rookie Daylen Lile. Tanner Banks (4-2) pitched a scoreless sixth. Gore settled down after a rocky first inning that included an RBI double by Harper. He pumped his fist and yelled after he fanned Harrison Bader to end the sixth with the game tied at 2-all. Riley Adams led off the Nationals' fifth with a walk and the 263-pound catcher caught Wheeler by surprise by stealing his first base of the season. But Wheeler retired the next three batters to keep it tied. Key stat After pitching to a 13.12 ERA in four starts following his first All-Star appearance, Gore has a 1.50 ERA in his two most recent outings. Up next Veteran Phillies RHP Taijuan Walker (4-5, 3.39 ERA) opposes the Nationals' Cade Cavalli (0-0, 3.86), who will make his third start of the season, on Saturday. ___

Story-book ending: Red Sox shortstop walks off the Marlins with bases-loaded single
That opened a variety of options for Red Sox manager Alex Cora and he wanted Jarren Duran to bunt the runners over. But Simpson's second pitch hit Duran to load the bases. The Marlins called in righthander Calvin Faucher and his second pitch to Trevor Story was grounded into right field, scoring Anthony. It was the second time this season the Sox won a game with only three hits. They did it at Seattle in a 3-1 victory on June 18. Advertisement Aroldis Chapman (4-2) retired the side in order in the top of the ninth inning to get the victory. The All-Star closer has allowed one run over his last 19⅓ innings and 21 games, striking out 28. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up His ERA has dropped to 1.15. The Sox are 40-22 at home, winning eight of their last nine games. Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara retired the first 12 Red Sox hitters on 40 pitches. Nothing came close to being a hit. Story closed the history books when he singled to right field leading off the fifth inning. Story stole second with one out before Romy Gonzalez struck out swinging at a curveball. Abraham Toro hit a sizzling line drive to the left side but third baseman Graham Pauley made a leaping catch to save a run. Advertisement There hasn't been a no-hitter at Fenway since Jon Lester's masterpiece against the Royals in 2008. The emboldened Sox broke up the shutout in the sixth. After striking out twice, Anthony worked an eight-pitch walk with two outs. Bregman drove a curveball down the line in right field. Anthony was waved around by third-base coach Kyle Hudson and scored as the Marlins weren't able to get the ball to the plate. Alcantara allowed one run on two hits over six innings and struck out seven with one walk. The Marlins justifiably set a high price for their ace at the trade deadline and no team met their demands. That could change this winter and the Red Sox figure to be one of the teams at the table. Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito allowed seven hits over the first six innings, five of them doubles. But only one run scored. That came in the third inning when Xavier Edwards doubled over the head of right fielder Wilyer Abreu with one out and Kyle Stowers followed with a double off the wall in left. Giolito struck out Agustin Ramirez swinging at a slider then retired Liam Hicks on a line drive to Duran in left field. Giolito left a runner stranded at third base in the sixth inning and came out of the game in the seventh after allowing a two-out single to Dane Myers. Justin Wilson needed two pitches to produce a double-play grounder. Giolito had a 6.42 earned run average through seven starts. It is 2.34 in 12 starts since.
