Padres' Luis Arraez is like the Warriors' Steph Curry of MLB in this amazing stat
Padres' Luis Arraez is like the Warriors' Steph Curry of MLB in this amazing stat originally appeared on The Sporting News No one in baseball makes contact like Luis Arraez. No one in basketball makes free throws like Stephen Curry. And that's what the San Diego Padres' lefty hitter and the Golden State Warriors' legendary sharpshooter have in common. On Tuesday, baseball stats expert Ryan Spaeder shared the following post on X: Arraez swings and misses at a lower rate than Curry misses free throws at, and Curry is the greatest free throw shooter by percentage in NBA history. For those keeping score at home: Baseballs are coming toward Arraez at insane speeds with incredible movement. The basket isn't moving anywhere for Curry. This is not to say Arraez is a future Hall of Fame lock like Curry. These are different skills, only one part of these magnificent games. MORE: Juan Soto, Josh Naylor and Cal Raleigh are making stolen bases cool again The thing Curry has that Arraez doesn't is the home run swing. Curry's shooting prowess extends beyond the 3-point arc, where he has made more trifectas than any player in the history of the planet. Arraez, in 3,109 career at bats, has hit 34 home runs. It's one of the lowest home run rates of any player to overlap with Arraez's career. That doesn't lessen how cool Arraez is. He's a throwback player. In an era of swinging for the fences, Arraez simply swings to hit the ball, and he does it excellently. He has three career batting titles. No, he's not Curry. But to watch someone perform a task at such prodigious rates is cool, even if it's just shooting free throws or the simple act of getting the bat to the baseball. When sports can crossover, it makes these games we love even that much more fun to follow. MORE: BYU's new starting QB is a true freshman named Bear who wears number 47

Chicago Cubs prized rookie clubs first career home run on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs prized rookie clubs first career home run on Tuesday originally appeared on The Sporting News The Chicago Cubs have needed a lift. The Cubs started the first game of the Tuesday doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers nine games back in the National League Central. The Cubs were four up on Cincinnati, who is looking to grab one of the final three wildcard spots. But, Chicago started the day 7-9 in the month of August. The losing ways go back to after the All-Star Game, where they are just 13-15 since then. That's where Owen Caissie comes into play. In the lineup, and batting sixth for Chicago, taking the place of the struggling Kyle Tucker, he hit his first career long ball on Tuesday to extend the Chicago lead. The damage for Caissie started in the bottom of the first inning, when he drove in Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki. The Cubs would eventually go ahead 5-0, before Milwaukee stormed back to within a run. That's when Caissie gave Chicago a little insurance with a deep home run to center field. It was good to see the rookie in the lineup for just the fourth time this season following his call-up on August 14. He had just one hit coming into this game, but finished with two more on Tuesday. The struggling Tucker has just eight hits the entire month of August, and has yet to hit a home run this month. MORE: Blue Jays fans hold breath amid American League East pennant race Chicago went on to win the game 6-4 over the Brewers. Matthew Boyd picked up the win following an outing that went 5.1 innings, allowing six hits and four runs. The bullpen did not allow a run over the final 11 outs of the game. Chad Patrick took the loss for the Brewers. Patrick finished five innings, allowing those five runs on five hits. The nightcap will feature Brandon Woodruff for Milwaukee and Jameson Taillon for the Cubs.

Caissie homers as the Cubs hold off the Brewers for a 6-4 win in doubleheader opener
CHICAGO (AP) — Owen Caissie homered and drove in three runs, and the Chicago Cubs held off the Milwaukee Brewers for a 6-4 win in the opener of a split doubleheader on Tuesday. Willi Castro also went deep as Chicago won for the third time in four games. Four Cubs relievers combined for 3 2/3 innings of two-hit ball after Matthew Boyd (12-6) departed in the sixth. Chicago (71-54) pulled within eight games of NL Central-leading Milwaukee (79-46). The teams were originally scheduled for a doubleheader on Monday, but the second game was postponed by rain. Christian Yelich homered for Milwaukee, and Sal Frelick had two hits and two RBIs. It was just the third loss for the Brewers in their last 21 games. Chicago built a 5-0 lead on Caissie's two-run single in the first and Castro's three-run shot off Chad Patrick (3-8) in the third. It was Castro's first homer since he was acquired in a July 31 trade with Minnesota. But Milwaukee quickly started chipping away at the deficit. Yelich opened the fourth with his 26th homer, and Frelick singled home Brandon Lockridge in the fifth. Frelick added another RBI single in a two-run sixth. Caissie then gave the Cubs a boost with his first major league homer, a 381-foot drive to left-center off Shelby Miller that made it 6-4 in the bottom half of the sixth. The 23-year-old Caissie singled in the seventh inning of Monday's 7-0 loss in the series opener for his first big league hit. Caleb Thielbar and Drew Pomeranz each pitched an inning for Chicago before Daniel Palencia handled the ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances. Key moment The Brewers had runners on second and third with two out in the sixth when Brad Keller struck out Caleb Durbin swinging, preserving the Cubs' 5-4 lead. Key stat The Cubs improved to 5-5 in the season series against the Brewers. Up next Brandon Woodruff (4-0, 2.06 ERA) starts for Milwaukee in the second game, and fellow right-hander Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.44) pitches for Chicago. ___ AP MLB:
