Paul Goldschmidt's Pinch Homer Snaps Yankees' 5-Game Skid
Major League Baseball Paul Goldschmidt's Pinch Homer Snaps Yankees' 5-Game Skid Published Aug. 6, 2025 7:54 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Paul Goldschmidt put the Yankees ahead with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning and New York ended its five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Goldschmidt went deep off lefty reliever Robert Garcia (1-7), who has now given up homers in his last three appearances. The Yankees (61-54) avoided being swept in Texas for the first time since 2010, and kept the Rangers from moving past them for the American League's third and final wild-card spot.

That came after his cousin, Rangers rookie starter Jack Leiter, struck out three and walked four in 3 1/3 innings while allowing two runs (one earned). David Bednar struck out five while throwing 42 pitches over the final 1 2/3 innings for his 18th save. No. 9 batter Ezequiel Duran had three hits and scored both runs for Texas (60-56), which had an eight-game home winning streak after winning the first two games in the series. He scored on Sam Haggerty's single in the third and Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly in the fifth. New York went up 2-1 in the fourth. Anthony Volpe had an RBI single and the other run came home on catcher Kyle Higashioka's throwing error when the Yankees pulled off a double steal.

Jon Gruden Gushes Over New York Giants' Rookie Class
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the last few years, the New York Giants have been hard at work adding as much promising young talent to the roster as possible. Ahead of the 2025 campaign, one former coach raved about the team's latest influx of youth. It's been a busy offseason for the Giants on various fronts. While they did secure reliable veteran talent in the form of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, the front office remained focused on rebuilding for the future. They potentially nabbed a pair of long-term cornerstone pieces in the draft, selecting Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart in the first round. This duo, along with multiple other rookies, joins a young Giants roster that is headlined by promising talents such as wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Tyrone Tracy.

Head coach John Gruden of the Las Vegas Raiders looks on before a game against the Chicago Bears at Allegiant Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Photo by/Getty Images Jon Gruden gives his thoughts on Giants' incoming rookie class Over the past few days, longtime NFL coach Jon Gruden has posted a series of unboxing videos from football programs across the country. Among the pro teams to send him a care package was the Giants. While unpacking his latest collection of gear, Gruden had nothing but good things to say about New York's incoming talent. "Did they have a great draft or what," Gruden said. "How about getting Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart in the same draft. And they got my guy Cam Skattebo coming out of the backfield. They got some players man." Few boxes come with more history than this one here... it's the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS 100 years of history can be found in these red, white and blue colors and it's an honor to wear them! Thank you Coach Daboll and the @Giants for this awesome box, good luck this year!! — Jon Gruden (@BarstoolGruden) August 4, 2025 Also read: Cam Skattebo Injury Sparks NY Giants to Hunt for Free Agents After being drafted third overall earlier this year, Carter will be thrown right in the mix as a rookie. Coming off a dominant college career at Penn State, the Giants are hopeful he can be a pillar of their defense for years to come. As for Dart, New York is taking a slow approach with its newest QB prospect. He will begin the 2025 season as a backup to Wilson, who signed a one-year deal in free agency. Upon learning the game and developing behind the scenes in year one, Dart will eventually be handed the reins as the long-term option under center. Skattebo was turning heads early on in training camp for the Giants, but things have gone off the rails a bit for him. The former fourth-round pick remains absent from practice as he tends to a hamstring injury. Armed with exciting young talent on both sides of the field, New York will attempt to stay afloat in what could be a highly competitive NFC East this season.

Dodgers Superstar Shohei Ohtani's 300th Home Run Ball Likely to Sell for Over $100K
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani continues to turn heads around baseball for his performances at the plate and on the mound. He just recently surpassed 300 home runs in his career between the United States and Japan. Now, the baseball is expected to sell for an expensive price tag which should not be surprising since his 50-50 ball sold for $4.39 million. TAMPA, FLORIDA - AUGUST 01: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on from the on deck circle in the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field on... TAMPA, FLORIDA - AUGUST 01: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on from the on deck circle in the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field on August 01, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. More"We expect this ball to sell for six figures, and since Ohtani collectors pay strong prices for the 'best of the best,' I wouldn't be surprised if it sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars," said Jordan Gilroy, Director of Acquisitions at Lelands Sports Memorabilia and Card Auction, per "The 50-50 ball sold for so much since Ohtani was the only player to hit the 50-50 milestone, so it put the value in a category of its own." Ohtani is one of the most popular players in Major League Baseball, and he continues to produce this season. He's recorded a slash line of .276/.380/.601 with a 170 OPS+ as well as 38 home runs and 73 RBI entering Wednesday. His continued success is why the ball is being auctioned instead of enshrined into Cooperstown. "Striking the iron while it's hot always results in the best outcome, and the Ohtani iron has been red hot since he came into MLB," said Gilroy. "When someone hits a milestone home run, that event is fresh in people's minds and hype is at an all-time high, so that's the best time to sell. If he continues to perform at the same level, this could become a half million or even a million-dollar baseball." Ohtani's name is in the heart of the conversation for National League Most Valuable Player as baseball begins the penultimate month of the regular season. His baseball will be on the auction until Aug. 16, and baseball fans around the world can access the bidding site here. More MLB: Jurickson Profar Contract Could be 'Worst Signing in Braves History'
