Preston Judd scores in second-half stoppage time to lift Earthquakes over Whitecaps 2-1
Judd subbed in for Josef Martínez in the 81st minute and used assists from defenders DeJuan Jones and Jamar Ricketts to score for the fourth time this season. Jones' helper was his career-high fifth after notching three through his first 157 appearances. Ricketts collected his third for San Jose (8-10-8) in his first full season in the league.
Judd's goal came after Brian White scored in the 88th minute to pull Vancouver (13-6-6) even at 1-1 after the Whitecaps played most of the match shorthanded. Defender Édier Ocampo was forced to exit in the 27th minute after receiving two yellow cards in a span of eight minutes. Defender Tristan Blackmon notched his first assist this season and his second in 169 career appearances on White's 12th goal.
Martínez scored on a penalty kick in the 54th minute to give San Jose a 1-0 lead. The PK was awarded after Vitor Costa was fouled by Blackmon. It was the 11th goal this season for Martínez and the 127th of his career. Martínez needs six more goals to tie Jaime Moreno for fifth place all time.
Daniel De Sousa Britto finished with two saves for San Jose.
Yohei Takaoka saved three shots for Vancouver, including the only one in a scoreless first half.
The victory vaults the Earthquakes into eighth place in the Western Conference in its first season under coach Bruce Arena. The top nine teams advance to the postseason.
Vancouver falls to 6-4-4 on the road this season. Six of the Whitecaps final nine matches are at home.
The Whitecaps will host the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 17. The Earthquakes will host San Diego FC on Aug. 17.

Zach Neto hits 2 homers, Angels overcome Shohei Ohtani's 42nd HR for a 7-4 win over the Dodgers
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Zach Neto hit his eighth leadoff home run of the season and added another homer in the sixth, and the Los Angeles Angels overcame Shohei Ohtani's 42nd homer during an eighth-inning rally in their 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Mike Trout had a two-run single and Yoán Moncada drove in two runs for the Angels, who are improbably 4-0 in the Freeway Series this season.

Bold Warriors trade proposal sends Jonathan Kuminga to surprise West rival
Bold Warriors trade proposal sends Jonathan Kuminga to surprise West rival originally appeared on The Sporting News Restricted free agent Golden State Warriors power forward Jonathan Kuminga remains very much unsigned as the summer drags on. In fact, all four of the top restricted free agents on the market — Kuminga, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey, Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes, and Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas — are still waiting for their next contracts. Because only Brooklyn has cap room at this stage in free agency, none of the other 29 NBA squads can just outright tender offers to these young players — which their own teams could match if they so choose. Kuminga appears to be dissatisfied with his situation in Golden State, where hierarchically his standing is fairly tenuous behind established-if-aging All-Stars Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. MORE NEWS:Warriors coach Steve Kerr reveals only reason he still has his job Head coach Steve Kerr clearly doesn't trust Kuminga's offensive decision making. He holds onto the ball too long and is an erratic shooter beyond the arc. A bold new trade proposal pitches a deal for Golden State to ship Kuminga to a surprise Western Conference rival. Thomas Carelli of Fantasy Sports On SI proposes a deal that would send Kuminga to a rebuilding squad in the Western Conference — a team that has no interest in competing for anything in the present, and thus could represent an opportunity for the 6-foot-8 pro to develop on a relatively long runway. Jazz Receive: Jonathan Kuminga via-sign-and-trade Warriors Receive: Georges Niang via $8.8M Traded Player Exception, 2027 first-round pick (via the Minnesota Timberwolves), Utah's 2028 first With Carelli's proposed exchange, Golden State would add a cost-effective stretch four on an expiring contract for the present in Niang, while also restocking its future draft equity. The picks could be used in a future trade or just to add new young talent on rookie-scale deals. MORE NEWS:Warriors taking hard stance in latest Jonathan Kuminga negotiation news

Steelers CB Darius Slay injured at training camp practice
On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers starting cornerback Jalen Ramsey missed team drills at training camp practice. Ramsey has been out the past week. This might not have seemed like a huge problem but also on Monday, cornerback Darius Slay went down with an ankle injury at practice. Not official word from the team about the severity of the injury but with Slay sidelined, it just gives more opportunities for players like Cameron McCutchen, Kyler McMichael and Daryl Porter. The Steelers currently have a heck of a positional battle going for the bottom of the cornerback depth chart. The absence of players like Ramsey and Slay makes for even more interesting matchups as the team prepares to wrap up training camp practice. The Steelers now turn their attention to joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before their preseason game in Pittsburgh this weekend. There's been no word yet from head coach Mike Tomlin about which starters will play in this important midway game.
