All-Star Tatis leads the Padres to a 4-1 win against the Rangers

SAN DIEGO (AP) — All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. scored the tying run in the third inning and doubled in the go-ahead run in the fourth for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 on Sunday night to take two of three.
Tatis, named to the National League All-Star team for the third time, reached base four times.
With runners on first and second and two outs in the fourth, Tatis doubled into the left field corner to bring in Trenton Brooks for a 2-1 lead. Martín Maldonado came around from first, slid headfirst and originally was called safe on Marcus Semien's relay throw to catcher Jonah Heim, but the Rangers challenged and the call was overturned.
The Padres failed to capitalize on a bases-loaded situation with two outs in the bottom of the first against Jack Leiter (4-6). But they tied it two innings later when Tatis reached on a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on Luis Arraez's two-out single to center.
Maldonado and Jake Cronenworth singled in runs in the sixth and seventh, respectively.
Padres rookie opener David Morgan had a rough first inning but allowed the only run thanks to a play at the plate and a great diving catch by Cronenworth with the bases loaded.
Leiter allowed two runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings, with five strikeouts and two walks.
Key moment
Tatis' RBI double came one pitch after he was brushed back and lost hold of his bat.
Key stat
Manny Machado, who needs two hits to reach 2,000 for his career, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
Up next
Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (9-2, 2.13 ERA), who was named to the American League All-Star team, is scheduled to start Monday night in the opener of a four-game series at the Los Angeles Angels. Padres RHP Yu Darvish, out with elbow inflammation since spring training, makes his season debut.

Wimbledon: Ben Shelton beats Sonego again to reach the quarterfinals with his sister still around

LONDON (AP) — Ben Shelton reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal — doing a round better than his father-turned coach, Bryan, did in 1994 — by beating Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 on Monday. Shelton, a 22-year-old American who won the 2022 NCAA singles title for the University of Florida, improved to 3-0 against Italy's Sonego in Grand Slam action this season. It's the first time two men faced each other in a year's initial three majors since John McEnroe went 3-0 against Jimmy Connors in 1984. The 10th-seeded Shelton also eliminated Sonego in the Australian Open's quarterfinals in January, and the French Open's first round in May. 'Every time I need a big point, he comes up with a highlight shot,' Shelton said, 'and maybe the same, vice versa.' Shelton finished this latest meeting with a flourish, breaking the 47th-ranked Sonego to avoid heading to a tiebreaker, then throwing his head back, yelling 'Come on!' and pounding his chest. 'I'm happy with the way that I played that last game. I feel like that was my best tennis, my best returning, and that's what I'm going to need to continue in this tournament,' said Shelton, who advanced to a matchup against No. 1 Jannik Sinner or No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov. 'So for me to end the match with that sort of game gives me a lot of confidence moving forward.' Up in the stands at No. 1 Court were Shelton's parents, his sister Emma — who stuck around at the All England Club after he made a public plea for her not to have to return to her job at Morgan Stanley on Monday, as originally planned — and his girlfriend, U.S. national soccer team star Trinity Rodman. 'I've got a lot of people that I love over there,' Shelton said during his on-court interview. He credited his father with inspiring the way he plays on grass courts. 'He was in the round of 16 here — 31 years ago? Give or take. He was a serve-and-volleyer. Big serve. Came forward all the time. He would like to see me coming forward a little bit more than I am. My argument is I think I'm better than him from the baseline,' Shelton said. But he's also showing that he has a knack for success on the slick surface, doing the sorts of things that constitute what Shelton termed 'vintage style' tennis of moving forward and cutting off angles and generally being 'a little bit unpredictable.' Against Sonego, Shelton won the point on 43 of his 58 trips to the net, including 11 of 17 when serve-and-volleying. If he can produce those sorts of numbers in his next match, that could help get him to a third career Grand Slam semifinal, after the 2023 U.S. Open and this year's Australian Open. ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002.

Mets Slugger Declines Home Run Derby Invitation For First Time In Career

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is breaking his five-year streak of participating in the Home Run Derby this season. Alonso told the New York Post that he "wants to be in the best possible position to help this team win in the second half."

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 04: Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets in action against the New York Yankees at Citi Field on July 04, 2025 in New York City. The Mets defeated the Yankees 6-5. More Photo byAlonso first competed in the Home Run Derby as a rookie in 2019, beating Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the final round to win his first Home Run Derby. Following the COVID-shortened season in 2020, when the All-Star festivities were canceled, Alonso returned to the Home Run Derby in 2021, winning the contest once again, this time over Trey Mancini, becoming the fourth player to win back-to-back Home Run Derbys. "I've never fully enjoyed three off-days," Alonso also told the Post in regards to the derby. Although he will be in Atlanta as a member of the National League All-Star team, Alonso is looking forward to a break in his routine and preparing for the second half. The Mets went 12-15 in June and lost control of first place in the National League East to the Philadelphia Phillies. Alonso is set on preparing for the second half and helping the Mets regain the division lead by allowing his body to rest and recover during the All-Star Break. Alonso went on to say that this isn't going to be the case for the future, depending on the location of the All-Star Game. "For me, if the All-Star Game happens at Citi Field or another park I love to hit at like Fenway (Park) or Wrigley (Field), for sure," Alonso added. The chase for Alonso's third Home Run Derby championship will have to wait until the future when the veteran decides to get back on the horse and give it another chance.
