Rookie Agustín Ramírez hits two solo homers as the Marlins beat the Yankees 2-0
MIAMI -- Rookie Agustín Ramírez homered twice for the only runs of the game and the Miami Marlins beat the New York Yankees 2-0 on Saturday. Eury Pérez pitched six innings of two-hit ball as the Marlins won their fourth straight and clinched the series against the Yankees following Friday's 13-12 series-opening win. After experiencing problems with his pitchcom device that caused three brief delays in the first inning, Pérez (4-3) struck out six and walked three in his 88-pitch outing. Relievers Ronny Henriquez and Tyler Phillips followed Pérez with perfect innings before Calvin Faucher retired the three batters he faced in the ninth for his 11th save. Miami has won six consecutive series and is 29-14 since June 13. The Marlins struck quickly when Ramírez connected off Yankees starter Cam Schlittler in the first. Ramírez drove a fastball 421 feet into the left-center field seats for his 16th homer. Ramírez hit another solo drive against Schlittler (1-2) in the fourth. Making his fourth major league start since being promoted from Triple-A on July 9, Schlittler allowed two runs and four hits while striking out six in five innings. Saturday's announced attendance of 34,645 surpassed the Marlins' previous season-home high of 32,299 in Friday's opener against New York. Pérez struck out Ryan McMahon and retired Anthony Volpe on a groundout after he allowed a one-out double to Ben Rice and walked Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth. Marlins left fielder Kyle Stowers had his sixth assist of the season when he threw out Trent Grisham at the plate as he attempted to score from second on Giancarlo Stanton's single in the first. RHP Luis Gil will make his season debut when he starts the series finale for the Yankees on Sunday. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year has been sidelined since spring training because of a lat strain. The Marlins will go with RHP Edward Cabrera (4-5, 3.35).

Aaron Boone Gives Hilarious Two-Word Response To Yankees' Gut-Wrenching Loss
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees went out at the trade deadline and brought in multiple stars to boost their team. They added David Bednar, Jake Bird, and Camilo Doval to the bullpen in a trio of moves that took the unit to the top of the league. New York also brought in players like Jose Caballero, Ryan McMahon, and Amed Rosario, among others. On Friday night, the Yankees saw the first action from Bednar, Caballero, Bird, and Doval, and it went about as poorly as possible. Manager Aaron Boone turned to Bird in the seventh inning, leading by five runs. The righty allowed two singles, a walk, and a grand slam while recording just one out before Boone turned to Bednar. Bednar allowed a solo homer, a double, and a pair of singles to blow the lead for the Yankees. After the Yankees tied the game back up, Doval would pitch the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing a single and a walk with one out. Xavier Edwards would single home two runs because the ball snuck under Caballero's glove in right field. The 3 new Yankees relievers gave up 9 runs (7 earned)… And Jose Caballero's inexplicable error helped seal the deal in brutal walk-off loss in Miami. #RepBX — Ryan Field (@RyanFieldABC) August 2, 2025 The next batter would walk it off with a fielder's choice to beat the Yankees 13-12. Boone was asked about getting over a crushing loss like that, and he had a hilarious response.

TORONTO, ON - JULY 21: Manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees looks on during batting practice before a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on July 21, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. More"Melatonin helps," Boone said, via MLB's Bryan Hoch. This is the kind of sarcastic humor that keeps the mood light throughout the 162-game marathon. At the end of the day, it's just one game out of 162 games. Obviously, the Yankees and Boone wanted to win this game, but there's no changing it at this point. It's tough to move past a loss like this, but the Yankees are going to need to do so if they want a solid shot at winning the American League pennant again.

Lakers star Luka Doncic's 3-word message to NY after visit goes viral
The post Lakers star Luka Doncic's 3-word message to NY after visit goes viral appeared first on ClutchPoints. Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic took a big bite out of the Big Apple in his latest visit to hype up his signature sneaker line for Jordan Brand. Doncic made several stops in New York to jumpstart the United States leg of his promotional tour. Doncic got busy with his engagements, including watching the game between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays and joining the broadcast, where he talked about his body transformation. The Lakers guard also linked up with Yankees icon Aaron Judge, who gave him a game-used autographed bat. Doncic also watched the Jordan Brand's The One 1-on-1 tournament at Dyckman Park, taking in New York's street hoops culture, and guested on NBC's 'Today' show. Of course, the five-time All-Star spent time with his young fans, surprising them at the NBA Store. He gifted the wide-eyed students from Quest to Learn school with Luka 4 shoes and signed Lakers jerseys. Doncic posted a recap video of his trip on X and left a short message for New York. 'Thank you, NYC,' said the Lakers floor general. Fans swiftly commented on the post, which has garnered over 126,000 views, as of writing. 'Can't wait for next season, Luka!' said @FroemelAndy. 'Bro went to visit my Yankees to get advice on getting a ring,' added @Glansberg_Web3. 'Best player in the world. I don't care about y'all rankings. No one is better at basketball. The remind them tour is about to begin,' wrote @TheHoopFather. 'You run NYC, goat,' commented @luka7doncic. 'Respect you for coming to Dyckman. Representing the hood,' posted @realmarirose. The offseason has been a hectic one for the 26-year-old Doncic. In particular, he worked on slimming down and improving his physique. Still, he found the energy to fulfill his brand endorsements. He is a man on a mission in his first full campaign with the Lakers. Their early exit in last season's playoffs only fueled Doncic to be better, which is dangerous for the rest of the NBA.
