Rays Score Go-Ahead Run on Throwing Error in 4-3 Victory Over the Orioles
Simpson stole second and advanced to third when José Caballero walked on a wild pitch. Caballero stole his 32nd base–tops in the majors–and Gregory Soto replaced Domínguez with the bases loaded. Jonathan Aranda hit a grounder to O'Hearn at first base but his throw home was off target when Soto crossed his path allowing two to score for a 4-2 lead.
Tyler O'Neill had a one-out double off Scott Fairbanks in the ninth and scored on Cedric Mullins' two-out single to get Baltimore within a run. Mullins swiped his 14th base before Fairbanks finished it for his 16th save in 19 opportunities. Kremer allowed one run on three hits in seven innings. Domínguez (2-3) retired one batter and allowed three runs–two earned. Tampa starter Zack Littell gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings. Edwin Uceta (6-2) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.
Key moment: Fairbanks sealed it when he retired Holliday on a 401-foot fly ball to center on a 3-2 pitch.
Key stat: Tampa Bay leads the majors with 127 steals and used three of them in its eighth-inning rally.
Up next: Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (2-1, 1.53) was set to start Sunday opposite RHP Ryan Pepiot (6-7, 3.38).

Dolphins sign former raiders and patriots cornerback Jack Jones to one-year deal
The Miami Dolphins added needed help to their secondary on Saturday, signing cornerback Jack Jones to a one-year deal. Jones had 69 tackles, three interceptions–one returned for a touchdown–and 15 pass breakups in 16 starts for the Raiders last season. The Raiders released him earlier this year. A fourth-round draft pick by New England in 2022, Jones played two up-and-down seasons for the Patriots before being released and claimed off waivers by Las Vegas in 2023. Jones played in 24 games and started 19 for Las Vegas, intercepting five passes and returning three for touchdowns. He also found himself out of position several times and allowed opposing receivers to make big plays. His four defensive touchdowns are the second most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2022. The Raiders released him earlier this year. Miami was in the market for a starting-caliber cornerback after trading All-Pro Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. The Dolphins this offseason added several cornerbacks that are expected to compete for roster spots. One veteran, Artie Burns, went on injured reserve this week after suffering a torn ACL on the first day of training camp. Also Saturday, the Dolphins waived cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr.

Falcons lose starting Wr Darnell Mooney for several weeks with shoulder injury and sign D.J. Chark
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – Darnell Mooney's status for the start of the season is uncertain, as the Atlanta Falcons' second-leading receiver in 2024 is expected to miss several weeks of training camp with a shoulder injury. Mooney suffered the injury in Thursday's first practice of training camp. The Falcons bolstered their depth chart at wide receiver by signing veteran D.J. Chark Jr., who joined the team for Saturday's practice. Chark worked out for the Falcons on Friday. That workout was already set up, Falcons assistant general manager Kyle Smith said Saturday, referring to the visit from Chark being scheduled before Mooney's injury. Smith said Mooney's injury is 'part of the deal' and the front office is always ready to find solutions and add to the roster whenever we can.' Smith provided no details on the severity of Mooney's injury. Chark, 29, began the 2024 season on injured reserve with a hip injury and was limited to four catches for 31 yards with one touchdown in seven games with the Los Angeles Chargers. Chark, a second-round draft pick by Jacksonville in 2018, set career highs with 73 catches for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns for the Jaguars in 2019. Following four seasons with Jacksonville, Chark played for Detroit in 2022 and Carolina in 2023. Mooney had 64 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. Drake London led the team with 100 receptions for 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns. London, Mooney, and Ray-Ray McCloud III opened training camp as Atlanta's top wide receivers. KhaDarel Hodge returns as a top backup after starting two games last season. The injury will force Mooney to miss valuable practice time with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who is entering his first full season as the starter following a three-game audition to close the 2024 season.

Dewanna Bonner returns to phoenix: 'the love and welcome was very much needed'
DeWanna Bonner is happy to be back home in Phoenix. The veteran spent the first 10 years of her career with the Mercury before leaving for Connecticut and then a brief stint in Indiana to start the season. When that didn't work out, she signed with Phoenix earlier this month. 'I wouldn't do anything differently. I think my journey is my journey, and I'm going to accept that,' Bonner said. 'It carried me to where I am now in Phoenix, and it happened that way for a reason.' The 37-year-old wing was focused on her future with Phoenix more than dwelling on the past or what went wrong in Indiana that ended with the team releasing her. She did find the narrative that she was disgruntled to come off the bench amusing after starting the first few games for the Fever. In the opener, she moved into third on the WNBA career scoring list. 'That wasn't ever the issue; that's never been me,' said Bonner, who has won the WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year award three times. 'I have no problems coming off the bench. I have never been that player. I don't feel like I have that reputation.' Phoenix began a five-game road trip in New York on Friday night and lost 89-76. She had nine points. 'DB is a really good addition for us. She can play the two, the three, and four, and maybe even some five depending on different lineups that we'll look at starting here moving forward,' Phoenix coach Nate Tibbetts said. 'She's won championships. You know, her second game with us, we go on to Golden State, have some injuries, and she goes for 22 and 11. You know, we're not winning that game without her, so she's been a huge pickup for us.' The Mercury will head to Indiana on Wednesday, and Bonner said she wasn't sure what the reaction will be from the fans. 'I'm just going to go out and do my job,' she said. 'They have every right to go out and do what they want to do; I'm just going to go out and compete with my team.' It wasn't all bad in Indiana for Bonner, who was only a four-hour drive from her 7-year-old twin daughters who turn eight soon. 'I got to spend more time with them then before,' she said. Bonner hopes to lift the Mercury to another championship. She helped the franchise win two after getting drafted fifth by the team in 2009. 'Getting back to Phoenix after so long, the love and the welcome that I had was very much needed and appreciated,' Bonner said. 'Coming back to people that I know.' The biggest change she has seen in her time away has been in the building that the team plays in. 'I walk into the arena for game day, and I had no idea where I was going, and it was crazy because I was there for 10 years every day,' Bonner said. 'Everything is different, but the fans are still the same, a couple people in the front office are the same.'
