Yankees' trade deadline additions implode in loss to Marlins: Highlights
The New York Yankees blew multiple leads before losing to the Miami Marlins 13-12 at LoanDepot Park on Friday night. While the Yankees outhit the Marlins 15-12, Miami did enough to come out on top with a win that featured a six-run seventh inning. New York blew leads of 6-0, 9-4 and 12-10. The Yankees' bullpen struggled, including three new pitchers acquired before the trade deadline on Thursday. Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval all made their debut for New York on Friday. Their outings were not what fans were hoping for. The three pitchers were brought in by New York in an attempt to overhaul the bullpen. Bird allowed three hits, including a home run, and four earned runs in just 0.1 inning of work. He entered the game with the Yankees leading 9-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the score at 9-8 Yankees, Bednar was brought into the game in place of Bird. Bednar pitched 1.2 innings, allowing four hits, including one home run, and two earned runs to surrender the lead. He did manage to get the Yankees through the eighth inning without giving up another run. Doval replaced Bednar to start the ninth inning with the Yankees leading 12-10. He allowed two hits and three runs (one earned) in 0.1 innings to take the loss. It wasn't entirely on Doval, though — he was undone in part by a horrible error by another new addition, Jose Caballero. Playing his first game with the Yankees, Caballero misplayed a ground ball hit to right field. With the ball rolling nearly to the warning track, the game-tying runs were able to score and the winning run was suddenly set up on third. Four pitches later, the Yankees' collapse was complete thanks to a dribbler that didn't even make it to the infield grass. YES Network broadcaster Michael Kay called it the Yankees' "worst loss of the year."

🎣 Is this a football pitch or a lake, only fishing helps here
Is this still a soccer field or already a lake? This question seems to have been asked by a groundskeeper in Switzerland, who promptly pulled out his fishing rod. Don't believe it? Here's the proof. The game in the second Swiss soccer league – the Challenge League – between FC Aarau and Bellinzona had to be interrupted last weekend with a score of 3:1 due to heavy rain. Even the fans, who tried to drain the lawn with cloths and shovels, couldn't prevent the game from being cancelled. At least there was a group photo with the players as compensation. A day later, the home stadium of FC Aarau didn't look any better, quite the opposite. The field was so flooded that it was hardly distinguishable from a lake. Aarau groundskeeper Gil Hemmi didn't let it bother him that his workplace was underwater for the time being and would certainly involve a lot of work in the next few days. Instead, he recorded a video in which he strolled calmly with a vest and fishing rod on the tribune and cast his line into the river-like area between the seats and the sideline. Whether he found anything there beyond maybe a fallen bratwurst or a beer mug, remained unsolved. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
