Miguel Andujar hits 2 hrs to help athletics beat mariners 5-4
The 30-year-old Andujar had his first multi-homer game in his 433rd major league appearance. Andujar homered off Mariners starter Bryan Woo (8-6) in the fourth to make it 3-1 and led off the seventh with a shot over the wall in left field that made it 5-3. Hernaiz added a solo shot in the fifth. Julio Rodríguez homered in the first inning and Jorge Polanco added a two-run homer in the seventh for the Mariners.
Key moment: Rooker hit a two-out solo homer before Shea Langeliers singled, stole second base, and then scored when Tyler Soderstrom doubled to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the first.
Key stat: The A's gave up three home runs, and their 161 homers allowed this season are the most in MLB. The Athletics are on pace to give up 236 long balls and shatter the club's single-season record of 220 given up by the 1964 Kansas City A's.
Up next: The Mariners kick off a four-game series against Texas at home on Friday. Neither team has announced its starting pitcher. The Athletics' starter is TBD for the first of four games Friday against Arizona. Merrill Kelly (9-6, 3.22 ERA) is set to pitch for the Diamondbacks.

Fernandes Critical of ‘Lazy' Manchester United in Pre-Season Draw with Everton
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes let rip at his teammates following their 2-2 pre-season draw with fellow Premier League side Everton, saying their performance was "lazy" and calling for further reinforcements. A second-half goal from Mason Mount had United on course for victory in Atlanta, Georgia after Fernandes's opener was cancelled out by Iliman Ndiaye, but a bizarre 75th-minute own goal by Ayden Heaven gifted Everton the draw on Sunday. The draw put a slight damper on the Old Trafford club's tour of the United States, after promising victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth last month. "It's been important for developing how we want to play and getting the new players involved too," Fernandes told NBC Sports. "We didn't want to finish in this way. Our performance wasn't the best and we were a little bit lazy today. We want to avoid that because with laziness you can pay at any moment." United had their worst-ever Premier League campaign in the 2024-25 season, finishing 15th in the standings, and are looking to strengthen in the transfer window, signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo - both of whom started against Everton. "It's improving. But it's not the place it needs to be. I don't want to take a dig at anyone but the club is doing the best they can in terms of the financial situation they talk about," Fernandes said. "But it was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here, more quality to get everyone to step up a little more to get to the XI, and I think that is what the club are trying to do. "Hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that." Asked about Fernandes's comments, manager Ruben Amorim told reporters: "I think I'm happy for the players to have that feeling. It's saying that they understand the situation. So, it's a good feeling. "I think the momentum of the tour was perfect. We had the weeks to work with a good environment, good feeling, and then we go back to Carrington (training ground) and we are near to start the season. "We are going with the feeling that we need to do a lot of things (better)." United begin the new Premier League season against Arsenal on August 17.

Cameron Young gets first PGA Tour win. Miyu Yamashita captures her first LPGA major
GREENSBORO, North Carolina: Cameron Young finally got his first PGA Tour victory Sunday after seven runner-up finishes, and he made it look easy. He had five straight birdies early to build a nine-shot lead and coasted home to a 2-under 68 to win the Wyndham Championship by six shots. He became the 1,000th player to win a recognized PGA Tour event, dating to Willie Park in the 1860 British Open. Young followed those five straight birdies with nine straight pars, a pair of meaningless bogeys toward the end only cost him a chance at the tournament scoring record. He finished at 22-under 258, tying the record held by J.T. Poston (2019) and Henrik Stenson (2017). Mac Meissner shot 66 to finish alone in second, worth $893,800 and enough to move him to No. 86 in the FedEx Cup. He won't be advancing to the postseason, but it gives him a huge boost for staying in the top 100 by November to keep his full card. The Wyndham Championship is the final tournament of the regular season that determined the top 70 in the FedEx Cup who advance to the lucrative postseason that starts next week. Ultimately, only Chris Kirk moved into the top 70 with his tie for fifth, and Byeong Hun An (missed cut) was the only one to fall out. Matti Schmid birdied his last three holes and stayed in the 70th spot when Davis Thompson three-putted the final hole. LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour In Portcawl, Wales, Miyu Yamashita of Japan captured her first major title when she withstood a charge by Charley Hull by not making a bogey until the outcome of the Women's British Open was no longer in doubt. She closed with a 2-under 70 and won by two. Yamashita holed two big par putts on the back nine at Royal Porthcawl, the last one when Hull had closed within one shot of the lead. Hull started the final round three shots behind. She holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the 14th to get within one shot. But the English star hit into a pot bunker off the tee at the 16th and did well to make bogey. She made another bogey on the 17th and had to settle for a 69 to tie for second with Minami Katsu of Japan. Japanese players have won four of the last nine majors in women's golf. Mao Saigo won the first major of the year at the Chevron Championship. The LPGA Tour has had different winners for each of the 20 tournaments this year. Other tours Bo Van Pelt closed with a 1-under 71 and made birdie on the first playoff hole to beat Darren Fichardt and win the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship at Trump International in Aberdeen, Scotland, for his first Legends Tour title. It was his first victory since the Perth International in 2012 on the PGA Tour of Australasia. ... Yahui Zhang of China closed with a 3-over 75 for a one-shot victory over Fatima Fernandez Cano and Lauren Morris in the Four Winds Invitational on the Epson Tour. ... Tomoyo Ikemura closed with an 8-under 64 and rallied to win the Richard Mille Charity Tournament for his third career title on the Japan Golf Tour. Ikemura won by two shots over Riki Kawamoto, who had led after each round until closing with a 69. ... Daniel Young closed with a 1-under 70 for a one-shot victory in the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge for his first Challenge Tour title. ... Carson Bacha closed with a 7-under 64 and defeated Jay Card III with a par on the second playoff hole to win the Osprey Valley Open on the PGA Tour Americas. ... Sohyun Bae shot a 5-under 67 and won the Aurora World Ladies Championship by one shot on the Korea LPGA.
