Ben Rice's 7-RBI night helps Yankees outscore Cardinals
August 17 - Ben Rice drove in seven runs and soared twice as the visiting New York Yankees outslugged the St. Louis Cardinals 12-8 Saturday night. Rice hit a three-run homer, a three-run double and an RBI single as the Yankees won for the fourth time in five games. Aaron Judge had a homer, a double and two RBIs for New York. Trent Grisham went 4-for-5 with four runs and Jose Caballero went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and three runs. Yankees starter Max Fried (13-5) allowed seven runs on eight hits in five innings. David Bednar got the final out for his 20th save. Masyn Winn hit a three-run home run, Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer and Pedro Pages hit a solo shot for the Cardinals, who lost their fourth consecutive games. Cardinals starter Sonny Gray (11-6) allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings. St. Louis outfielder Victor Scott II left the game with a left ankle sprain he suffered while attempting a leaping catch on Judge's homer. The Yankees took 2-0 first-inning lead on a single by Grisham, a walk to Rice, Judge's RBI double and Jasson Dominguez's RBI single. The Cardinals cut the lead to 2-1 in the bottom of the inning on Alec Burleson's triple and Ivan Herrera's RBI single. St. Louis surged ahead 5-2 in the second inning on a walk to Gorman, singles by Pages and Scott, and Winn's homer. Judge's third-inning homer cut the deficit to 5-3. Then the Yankees moved ahead 6-5 in the fourth inning on Caballero's bunt single, Grisham's single, and Rice's three-run homer. Austin Wells, Caballero and Grisham loaded the bases with singles in the sixth inning. Rice's double cleared them to put New York up 9-5. The Cardinals trimmed their deficit to 9-7 in the bottom of the inning on Jordan Walker's double and Gorman's homer. New York pushed its lead to 12-7 in the seventh inning on Ryan McMahon's homer, Rice's RBI single, and Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s sacrifice fly. Pages' homer in the ninth inning made it 12-8. --Field Level Media

Manchester City squad too big and ‘not healthy', warns Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola said he was delighted with his new signings' immediate impact in Manchester City's 4-0 rout of Wolves but insisted his squad is too big and at risk of being unhealthy. The summer arrivals Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki both scored in the victory at Molineux, where goalkeeper Ederson and midfielder Savinho were absent amid doubts over their long-term futures. The City manager said the club's hierarchy must 'find a solution' before the transfer window closes next month. The injured City pair Rodri and Phil Foden were in the stands, while Guardiola also cited Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol, who are both nearing returns to match fitness. Ederson has been linked with a move to Galatasaray while Savinho is of interest to Tottenham. Rico Lewis, who is wanted by Nottingham Forest, started at full-back in a sign he could stay at City. Asked if he was happy with his squad after the victory at Wolves, Guardiola replied: 'Too many people. It's not about Eddy [Ederson], today [there] was [no] Rodri, Phil, Kovacic, Savinho and Josko. On the bench we had Nathan [Aké] and Gündo [Ilkay Gündogan]. I like a deep squad to compete in all competitions but I don't want to leave players at home. It's not healthy. You cannot create a good vibe or atmosphere to compete. 'The club has known [about] it since last season but the situation is what it is. In the next two weeks, people will talk with players and agents to find a solution. We have to reduce the squad because it will be difficult to sustain the vibe of the team.' Wolves paid tribute to Diogo Jota in their first competitive game since the death of their former player and his brother, André Silva. 'Jota and his brother are in our minds and were in our hearts before, during and after the game,' said the Wolves head coach, their Portuguese compatriot Vítor Pereira. 'They are still with us and we tried to do our best to honour them as players, people, because of their families. We will keep him in our hearts for the future and he will be with us for ever.' Jota's parents and his wife, Rute Cardoso, were in attendance, along with his former teammate Rúben Neves and Portugal's manager, Roberto Martinez.

Unprecedented strike action shows strength of feeling in racing
S o, is this it? For decades British racing has been signalling distress only to be ignored by the government and still survive. The unprecedented 'strike' whereby the British Horseracing Authority will cancel all four race meetings on Wednesday, September 10, to protest against a betting tax hike comes after long years of ebbing tide. Unless the government changes the way it blows, this time we really could be on the rocks. The plan, as explained in The Sunday Times, is fascinating on many counts. For its shock tactics, for it being the first significant move since Lord Allen took up his BHA chair, and for its timing on the eve of the classic Doncaster meeting at which Sir Keir Starmer last year became the first prime minister to attend the St Leger since Winston Churchill in 1953. But as important as any, it represents a unified front from racing's two biggest racecourse groups, the Jockey Club and Arena Racing, the former owning Kempton Park and Carlisle, the latter Uttoxeter and Doncaster.
