Valkyries reveal Violet the Raven as team mascot with elaborate egg-hatching production
After considerable teasing, the Golden State Valkyries officially have a mascot. The first-year WNBA expansion franchise introduced her Monday night following an elaborate campaign that featured a faux web-cam focused on a giant spotted egg. Her name is Violet. She is a raven. Violet was introduced at halftime of Monday's home game against the Connecticut Sun. In the lead-up to the game, the Valkyries created a webpage featuring a "Chase Center Nest Cam" focused on the egg that would presumably hatch the new mascot. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Fans in the stands were provided with binoculars for what the Valkyries dubbed "Birdwatchers Night." Then at halftime, Violet was revealed in a video with a first-person — ahem, first-bird view of Violet's imagined hatching. Violet then showed up in the Chase Center tunnel and danced her way to midcourt for her official introduction. There, Violet joined the dance team for a brief routine, surely a sign of more to come. The hatching routine elicited memories of the considerably clumsier reveal of the Colorado Rockies mascot Dinger the dinosaur in 1994. Budgets and production values for such reveals have come a long way in three decades. Golden State is off a strong debut season, despite the loss of All-Star Kayla Thornton to a season-ending knee injury. The Valkyries entered Monday's game at 15-15, good for the eighth-best record in the league out of 13 teams and in position for the final spot in the postseason. Now they have a mascot to cheer them on for the stretch run.

Astros hold off Red Sox rally for 7-6 win, Urías and McCormick homer
HOUSTON (AP) — Ramón Urías had three hits with a two-run homer and Chas McCormick hit his first homer this season as the Houston Astros built a big lead and held on for a 7-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. Carlos Correa hit an RBI single to help the Astros to the victory after they were swept in Boston to start the month. It was his first home game since rejoining the team in a blockbuster trade from the Twins. Houston starter Cristian Javier (1-0) had a solid outing in his return after sitting out more than 14 months following Tommy John surgery. He allowed two hits and two runs in the first inning before settling down and giving up just one single over the next four innings. Alex Bregman's two-run home run in the first inning gave Boston an early lead in his first game in Houston since leaving the Astros this offseason. Houston scored three runs in the third to take the lead and got a two-run shot from McCormick in the fourth and a two-run homer from Urías in the fifth to make it 7-2. But the Red Sox scored four runs with two outs in the seventh inning, highlighted by home runs from Abraham Toro and Roman Anthony, to get within 1. Bregman singled after that, but Jarren Duran grounded out to end the inning. Connor Wong doubled off Enyel De Los Santos with two outs in the ninth inning and Bennett Sousa took over and struck out Anthony to end it and collect his fourth save. Boston's Garrett Crochet (13-5) yielded seven hits and tied a season-high with five runs in a season-low four innings to snap a nine-game winning streak and give him his first loss since May 26. Urías, who was acquired from Baltimore at the deadline, finished a triple shy of the cycle to tie a season high in hits. Key moment Sousa's strikeout of Anthony in the ninth. Key stat McCormick's home run was his first since Aug. 28. Up next Houston RHP Spencer Arrighetti (1-2, 7.43 ERA) opposes RHP Dustin May (6-8, 4.93) when the series continues Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:
