Brewers complete 2nd series sweep of Dodgers for 10th straight win

Brewers complete 2nd series sweep of Dodgers for 10th straight win

Reuters6 days ago
July 20 - Isaac Collins delivered a go-ahead two-run single in a three-run sixth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers finished off a perfect run against the Los Angeles Dodgers this season with a 6-5 victory on Sunday.
Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio had a single to extend his hitting streak to 14 games, tying a career high set earlier this season. Left-hander Jose Quintana (7-3) gave up four runs on four hits while striking out five over six innings.
The Brewers' 10th consecutive victory also completed their second three-game sweep of the Dodgers in less than two weeks. Milwaukee's 6-0 record over Los Angeles is the first time one club swept the other in a season series.
The winning streak is the eighth that has gone double digits in Brewers franchise history and the first since an 11-game run in 2021.
The Dodgers pulled within a run in the ninth on an infield single from Dalton Rushing before Mookie Betts lined out against right-hander Abner Uribe, who recorded his second save.
Shohei Ohtani and Esteury Ruiz hit home runs for the Dodgers, who dropped to 2-10 since July 4. The Dodgers also lost their sixth consecutive home game in the stretch as they committed three errors.
Los Angeles left-hander Clayton Kershaw gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk over 4 1/3 innings with two strikeouts. All three Los Angeles errors came while Kershaw was on the mound. Lou Trivino (3-1) gave up two runs in a third of an inning.
The Dodgers jumped in front in the third inning when Andy Pages doubled and scored on a Rushing fly ball. With two outs, Mookie Betts singled and came home on Ohtani's 34th home run for a 3-0 lead.
The Brewers responded with three runs in the fourth that included an RBI single by Andruw Monasterio that was sandwiched by two Dodgers errors that allowed two runs to come across for Milwaukee.
Ruiz made the third Dodgers error, leading to Kershaw's departure in the fifth. Ruiz then hit a one-out home run in the bottom of the fifth for a 4-3 Dodgers lead.
Milwaukee sent seven batters to the plate to take the lead in the sixth. Eric Haase delivered an RBI single to tie the game and Isaac Collins hit a two-run single against right-hander Will Klein for a 6-4 advantage.

Calandagan finally wins his big one as he comes from last to first in the King George at Ascot

CALANDAGAN has been called lots of names over the last 12 months, not many of them nice. Well, now he'll forever be known as a King George winner after a performance which silenced the doubters in no uncertain terms. 1 The horse who long seemed destined to go down as one of the game's great bridesmaids had every opportunity to throw in the towel when Kalpana quickened away and push came to shove. He could have folded like a cheap suit when asked to make a lung-busting run after the filly who'd got first run and was getting 3lb, or hoisted the white flag when eye-balling her in the heat of battle. Instead, he dug deeper than the Channel Tunnel to give his burgeoning trainer Francis-Henri Graffard — a coming force on the world stage — his second King George in a row. Magnifique. Not so the Ballydoyle tactics, which even left Graffard and winning jockey Mickael Barzalona scratching their heads. Here they had the 5-2 second favourite in Jan Brueghel, a horse with abundant stamina who outstayed Calandagan at Epsom two months ago and for whom a strong, end-to-end gallop was vital. Everyone expected the 40-1 rag Continuous to set off on his usual pace-making duties to ensure it wasn't a tactical race. Puzzlingly, he was dropped in behind his stablemate and they ended up going a crawl as Jan Brueghel did the donkey work. It made little sense — not that Barzalona was complaining. He was on the horse with the best turn of foot, so he must have been licking his lips. Mind you, Andrew Balding's fine filly Kalpana showed an impressive burst of her own as she kicked for home at the two-furlong pole. Oisin Murphy moved up going strongly as Jan Brueghel struggled to go through the gears as the pace lifted before she suddenly exploded two or three lengths clear. It looked for the best part of a furlong that Calandagan would be unable to reel her in but, as all the top-class ones do, he quickened once, quickened twice and was going away by a length at the line. He was second in the Juddmonte International, Champion Stakes, Sheema Classic and Coronation Cup — but he's the Chantilly shirker no more. Graffard said: 'I never had any doubts about his will to win, when he's been beaten he has had excuses. 'He was really far back at York last year and he quickened really strongly, probably too late. He was beaten by a good horse in Dubai and at Epsom things didn't go to plan. 'I never thought it was because he didn't want to try and his jockeys have never reported that to me either. 'This is the fifth time Mickael has ridden him, he has been getting to know him and knows what to do on him now. There is no doubt anymore about the horse.' In hindsight, maybe Murphy could have held on for a few more seconds on Kalpana before committing her for home. But Balding was chuffed with the run as she continues to build towards her D-Day in the Arc. He said: 'I'm very proud of her, she's run her heart out again and just been beaten by a good horse. We'll work back from the Arc, now.' It looks like the Juddmonte International at York is next on the agenda for Calandagan, where a mouthwatering showdown with Field Of Gold awaits. Tres bien. .

Crew acquire striker Wessam Abou Ali as DP

July 26 - The Columbus Crew acquired striker Wessam Abou Ali for an undisclosed transfer fee on Saturday. Multiple reports said the MLS club paid $7.5 million to land the Egyptian Premier League star. Abou Ali, 26, joins the Crew as a designated player and is signed through 2027 with a 2028 club option. "Wessam is a special player whose journey speaks to his resilience, character and tireless work ethic, which are qualities we value at our Club," Crew general manager Issa Tall said. "He is a proven goal-scorer who knows what it takes to help his team win. His clinical finishing, energy and charisma will strengthen our squad, and we are confident that he will thrive within our system." Abou Ali led Al Ahly to consecutive Egyptian Premier League titles in 2023-24 and 2024-25 and was the league's leading goal scorer (18) in 2023-24. The team also won the Egyptian Super Cup in 2024 and the CAF Champions League in 2023-24. He tallied 38 goals and 10 assists in 60 matches across all competitions with Al Ahly, including a hat trick against FC Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup on June 23 in East Rutherford, N.J. Abou Alli, who was born in Denmark and competes internationally for Palestine, launched his pro career in 2018 with the Danish side Aalborg BK. --Field Level Media

‘Pressure is a privilege' – World Nineball Tour No.1 Fedor Gorst reveals how ChatGPT helped him become world champion

FEDOR GORST is cool, calm and collected as he enjoys his breakfast ahead of the final rounds of the World Pool Championship - and it may all be thanks to ChatGPT. The young world champion, who was born in Russia but represents the USA, last year completed what has become known as the Gorst Slam. 6 6 6 He triumphed in the U.S. Open, the World Pool Masters, and the World Pool Championship - becoming champion again for the first time since 2019. That feat has cemented Gorst's place at the top of the rankings - a spot he could keep for a number of years. Perhaps the only thing standing in Gorst's way is himself, since many believe he is the most skilful player on the World Nineball Tour. He rejects that claim but there is one attribute that puts him above the rest - mentality. Gorst, 25, feels pressure is a privilege and he confesses to using ChatGPT to help him improve the mental side of his game. He told Sun Sport: "The pressure is always there. If there is no pressure I don't feel like I am even trying. So pressure is good. To feel pressure is a privilege. "A lot of it is mental. This sport, the difference between top players if you look at the top eight, skill-wise, the difference does not really matter, the mental side is where the difference is. "I've been working with some technical people, working with ChatGPT as well.

"Honestly, I use ChatGPT for everything, for practice. I'm always taking notes, what I need to work on, my memory is not clean. "There's so many things I need to work on, and it's only by going back to see what I was working on that has allowed me to improve." Gorst, nicknamed The Ghost, has won four ranking event titles in his career. And although he does not have any pre-match superstitions, Gorst does go through a meticulous routine that includes stretches in the gym and an omelette for breakfast while in Jeddah. He emphasised the benefit of staying sharp and energised in a week-long tournament, suggesting that it can be the difference needed to claim the title. Gorst continued: "It's very important to stay fresh. That's the thing that separates the winners from those that lose. Those that lose, most of the time, they run out of gas. "Long matches, long races, three-hour matches, it takes a lot of energy out of you, it takes a lot of focus out of you. So it is really, really important to stay fresh throughout the tournament."
