Brewers continue dominance of Dodgers with shutout
Priester (8-2) allowed three hits over six scoreless innings and did not walk a batter. He finished one strikeout short of his career high to win his seventh consecutive decision since May 30. All-Star closer Trevor Megill pitched the ninth inning for his 22nd save.
Milwaukee is 4-0 against Los Angeles following a three-game sweep at home last week.
Right-hander Tyler Glasnow gave up one run on four hits over six innings with six strikeouts for Los Angeles in his second start after missing 2 1/2 months because of shoulder inflammation.
The Dodgers finished with three hits, continuing a trend that saw them struggle to put together offense before the break. The defending champions have now lost eight of their last 10 games.
Glasnow (1-1) walked just one batter but it proved costly. The Brewers' Isaac Collins received a free pass to open the fifth inning and scored on a one-out double by Durbin for a 1-0 lead.
After Priester fanned Mookie Betts to end the sixth for his 10th strikeout, Durbin delivered a two-out home run to center -- his fifth of the season -- off right-hander Kirby Yates for a 2-0 advantage.
The Dodgers had just two batters reach second base: Freddie Freeman on a double in the fourth inning and Shohei Ohtani on a stolen base in the sixth. Los Angeles was shut out for the first time since a 5-0 road loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on June 6, and for the fifth time this season.
The Brewers' Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 to extend on-base streak to 25 games, while Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 to extend his hit streak to 12 games.
Milwaukee outfielder Blake Perkins, who fractured his lower right leg in spring training, made his season debut when he entered in the seventh inning. He had a bunt single in the eighth on the first pitch he saw this year.

Ryder Cup 2025: USA standings and predicting Keegan Bradley's team after six players confirmed
Team USA is on a mission to recapture the Ryder Cup in the 2025 edition of the event at Bethpage Black and their chances look promising with the world's best player Scottie Scheffler leading their charge on the course. But a peculiar situation surrounding the team brings unwanted pressure and a distraction, with captain Keegan Bradley enjoying some of the best golf of his career, including a stunning win at the Travelers Championship to beat out Ryder Cup stalwart Tommy Fleetwood, cruelly denying him a first PGA Tour win in the process. The LIV Golf controversy has subsided, with Bryson DeChambeau likely to qualify automatically and return to the team after missing out at Marco Simone in 2023. A hurtful defeat in Rome, which saw Scheffler brought to tears after a record-breaking nine and seven defeat to Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, should provide plenty of motivation for a raucous home crowd in New York this time around. Here's how the stars and stripes could line up, plus current standings, form, and who is in line for one of Bradley's six wildcard picks to take on a confident Team Europe: Current Team USA standings for 2025 Ryder Cup Top 6 eligible players following the conclusion of the BMW Championship, on 18 August, 2025, have made the team 1. Scottie Scheffler 37180.33 - QUALIFIED 2. JJ Spaun 14851.91 - QUALIFIED 3. Xander Schauffele 13733.52 - QUALIFIED 4. Russell Henley 12276.82 - QUALIFIED 5. Harris English 10880.55 - QUALIFIED 6. Bryson De Chambeau 10774.98 - QUALIFIED -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Justin Thomas 10467.24 8. Collin Morikawa 1049.44 9. Ben Griffin 9745.76 10. Maverick McNealy 8913.65 11. Keegan Bradley 8435.00 12. Brian Harman 7466.91 13. Andrew Novak 7300.48 14. Cameron Young 7209.64 15. Patrick Cantlay 6716.39 16. Sam Burns 6688.29 17. Wyndham Clark 5216.87 18. Lucas Glover 4803.44 19. Akshay Bhatia 4647.13 20. Chris Gotterup 4570.10 Team USA for the 2025 Ryder Cup Qualified Scottie Scheffler Qualified. The best player in the world, but he has demons to exorcise from Rome: 9 and 7 with Brooks Koepka against Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg should light a fire in him for Bethpage Black. A comprehensive win at the PGA Championship and The Open, pencil him in for four team sessions and his singles match. JJ Spaun Qualified. Clutch play at Oakmont, a maiden major and the revelation of men's golf this year. A debut at Bethpage Black should provide a different examination, yet the Californian outdueled Bob MacIntyre, Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton, which should give him an edge. Another fierce battle with European stalwart Justin Rose saw him narrowly miss out at the St Jude Championship, but his composure down the stretch at TPC Southwind and in the playoff shows he can be trusted. Xander Schauffele Qualified. Holds a 7-6-1 record. Unable to capture the magic of 2024 after claiming two majors and has been hit with injuries. But a world class player with tremendous power and distance to marry with exquisite iron play and finesse around the greens. One of the few versatile players in terms of pairings for the USA, too. Russell Henley Qualified. Will get in as an automatic selection through the rankings and Bradley got a close-up look at what he can do in the final group of the Travelers Championship, including his chip-in on 18. Henley, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational this year, is a wizard approaching the green (11th in strokes gained on tour this year) and third on tour for proximity with his approach. A great option in foursomes. Harris English Qualified. English's first Ryder Cup match, in the Friday fourballs back in 2021, saw him and Tony Finau impressively down European big-hitters Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry 4&3, but losses in Saturday's fourballs and Sunday's singles left English and Finau as the US's lowest scorers that week. Not selected two years ago, English looks a good bet to get the call in 2025 after a win at the Farmers Insurance Open in January (his first PGA Tour triumph in four years), a T12 at the Masters and a T2 at the US PGA behind the uncatchable Scottie Scheffler. A solo second at Royal Portrush, behind Scheffler again, put him eighth in the world. Even if he slips out of the automatic qualification, he's very likely on the team. Bryson DeChambeau Qualified. Holds a 2-3-1 record. Sorely missed in Rome from an entertainment perspective, his bruising power of the tee should pose a real threat at this menace of a golf course. Still not striking his irons as he would like or how you'd expect given his scientific approach, and he continues to blame his golf ball, a daunting opponent but one the Europeans will fancy toppling if they can weather an early storm. The locks Justin Thomas Clinging onto the last automatic place, though in truth both Thomas and Morikawa (currently seventh) will both go. In a much better place after winning the RBC Heritage and T-2 at the Truist, but cut-cut at the PGA Championship and US Open provides a little concern over his ability to rise up on the tougher tracks. Collin Morikawa A masterful iron player. Despite the near-misses at the Sentry and Players, finishing second in both, the 28-year-old hasn't contended enough. But with the potential to establish himself as a transcendent player of his generation, Morikawa is a lock to play again this year and build on his experience from Rome. Likely in the team Keegan Bradley El Capitan. You saw the emotion when let down by ZJ in Full Swing, so to now be in a predicament: He's playing well enough to fully justify a wildcard pick. But as captain, where is the threshold to jeopardise his role as captain? Winning the Travelers Championship has changed everything, but form has since tailed off. A big, big few weeks ahead and a colossal decision to be made. Will he become the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963? Patrick Cantlay An absolute gun for the US in team events, most notably forming a formidable partnership alongside fellow 'best current player not to win a major' Xander Schauffele over multiple Ryder and Presidents Cups, it's hard to envisage Cantlay not being at Bethpage. However, he'll likely need a captain's pick because while partner in crime Schauffele ended his major drought by bagging two of them last year, the formerly prolific Cantlay doesn't have a tournament win of any description since August 2022. Has gone off the boil in majors this season, missing the cut at both the US Open and US PGA, and did become the villain du jour at the 2023 Ryder Cup when he refused to wear a hat, reportedly as a protest at not being paid to compete. The controversy ended up overshadowing the US team somewhat as they suffered a chastening defeat, while his caddy Joe LaCava first baited the European fans by waving a hat and celebrating wildly when his player made a crucial putt and then had a heated confrontation with Rory McIlroy in the car park. If he is in New York, Captain Bradley will surely implore Cantlay to keep his focus to on-course matters, where he has traditionally been very impressive. Ben Griffin The most likely rookie wildcard pick? Griffin has a tidy game and won the Charles Schwab this year. Two top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship and US Open show he belongs at the very top; he's in the driver's seat to grab one of the wildcard picks. The limited matchplay experience, beyond the Aruba Cup, representing the PGA Tour Canada in 2018, is one concern. In contention Jordan Spieth File him in the "we'll do everything we can to take him" category. He can take confidence in how much faith Thomas was given before Rome and expect similar treatment here. He cannot qualify automatically and must now rely on a wildcard pick. A wrist injury at Oakmont further muddied the waters, but Spieth is charismatic and could lift the home crowd to feverish levels. Bradley will need to be brave to resist picking him. Sam Burns A Sunday to forget at Oakmont as he frittered away a number of strokes to lose control of what was at one point a dominant US Open bid. Paired with Scheffler, a good friend of his, in Rome, in a bid to bring the best out of the world No 1, but it didn't work. An elite putter, Burns' US Open performance ought to earn him a pick if he can replicate this form in the closing weeks. Cameron Young Young narrowly missed out on a Ryder Cup debut in Rome two years ago despite vice-captain Fred Couples running his mouth on the radio a month before and declaring that "Cam Young will be in Italy". In with a real chance of that wrong being righted at Bethpage and his prodigious driving, both in terms of length and shot shape, makes him a perfect fit for the course. A win at the Wyndham Championship broke his duck on the PGA Tour, to pair with an impressive T4 at the US Open, the 28-year-old could be a smart pick. Maverick McNealy Not far from an automatic qualifier, but McNealy hasn't quite broken the door down. Third at the BMW Championship gives him hope, but a controversial omission awaits if the 29-year-old makes the team, currently tucked inside the top 20 in the world rankings. Outsiders Wyndham Clark Battling some demons in 2025: From throwing his club in a petulant act that put a volunteer in danger to smashing up an Oakmont locker. After posting T-46, T-50 and cut at this year's first three majors, T-4 at Royal Portrush propelled him back into consideration, with his powerful game another good fit for Bethpage Black. Brian Harman Carried a little by Max Homa in Rome and unable to carry over his outstanding play from Hoylake. A win at the Valero Texas Open this year, and T-10 at Royal Portrush, is still probably not enough.

Hampshire thrash Surrey with over 30 overs to spare
Excellent bowling from veteran seamer James Fuller, inexperienced slow left-armer Andrew Neal and pacy youngster Manny Lumsden proved too much for Surrey in what became an embarrassingly one-sided nine-wicket Hampshire Hawks dismissed Surrey for 160 in 46.3 overs at the Oval before skipper Nick Gubbins anchored a buccaneering chase with 87 not out from 60 balls. Hampshire's fourth win in five Group A matches, clinched with a massive 30.5 overs to spare, boosts their ambitions of qualification for the Metro Bank One-Day Cup knock-out stages. Gubbins was initially joined in an opening partnership of 54 with Ali Orr (27) before Fletcha Middleton arrived to hit an unbeaten 35 from 24 balls in an unbroken second wicket stand of 108 in just 9.3 bowler Nathan Barnwell was thrashed for 50 from his three overs – Gubbins twice hoicking him for six in an opening over costing 21 – and left-arm spinner Yousuf Majid's three overs went for 31 as Gubbins and Middleton accelerated brutally towards the finish line. Gubbins hit three sixes and 13 fours in all, while Middleton's contribution was two sixes and four 35-year-old Fuller finished with 4-34 after polishing off a Surrey innings that never got going and was in danger of complete implosion at 89-6 before keeper-batsman Josh Blake and bowlers James Taylor, Barnwell and Majid provided at least some lower order resistance in front of a near-5,000 was Surrey's joint top-scorer with 22 alongside South Asian Cricket Academy graduate Nikhil Gorantla, who was Fuller's first victim when he was excellently caught low down by Neal diving forward at mid-on in the 18th left Surrey 68-3 and Lumsden had already made his mark by then, first forcing Rory Burns to miscue a pull to his fourth ball – to be caught and bowled for 20 – and then seeing Adam Thomas chop on to his stumps for 12 in his third 16 years and 288 days, Lumsden bowled with genuine pace in just his second List A appearance and although there were a number of wild deliveries, including an intended bouncer that flew for four wides, he impressed across two spells in his 2-46 from 10 more impressive was 25-year old spinner Neal, who played two first-class matches for Leeds-Bradford MCCU in 2019, but only made the first of his previous four List A appearances earlier this 3-33 from 10 nicely-controlled overs now gives him nine wickets in the competition and he numbered the Surrey middle-order of Ben Foakes, Ollie Sykes and Cameron Steel as his mishit to long on for five, Sykes was brilliantly held by a diving Felix Organ at long on for seven and Steel drove tamely to short extra cover to go for 22 was ended by a fatal nibble at Fuller, Taylor (19) offered a few meaty blows before skying Scottish all-rounder Brandon McMullen to long on and Barnwell departed for 15 miscuing high to keeper Ben was left 13 not out when No 11 Alex French fenced Fuller to slip to go for a fifth ball duck and all that remained was to see how quickly Hampshire's top order could knock off the runs.

Reports: Free agent DE Matthew Judon visiting Dolphins
August 18 - Four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Matthew Judon is visiting the Miami Dolphins on Monday, multiple outlets reported. The free agent pass-rusher, who turned 33 on Friday, had 5.5 sacks last season with the Atlanta Falcons. Judon has recorded 72.0 sacks, 174 quarterback hits and 410 tackles in 131 games (97 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2016-20), New England Patriots (2021-23) and Falcons. A fifth-round draft pick by the Ravens in 2016, Judon was selected to four consecutive Pro Bowls from 2019 to 2022. Dolphins' second-year edge rusher Chop Robinson was taken off the field on a cart during Wednesday's practice, but the 2024 first-round pick later posted on his Instagram account that "I'm good yall nothing serious." Robinson posted six sacks as a rookie. He joins Bradley Chubb (11 sacks in 2023 before missing last year due to an ACL rupture) and Jaelen Phillips (23 sacks in 46 games) in the Dolphins' talented pass-rushing unit. Phillips also is coming off a season-ending ACL injury. --Field Level Media
