Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins records quickest triple-double in WNBA history

USA Today12 hours ago
After recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history on July 19, Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins made more history on Monday.
She became the second player in Storm history to record a triple-double -- and she did it in three quarters. Diggins's two free throws at the end of the third quarter gave her 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in 22:51 of action, the lowest minute total for a triple-double in WNBA history.
Temeka Johnson recorded the Storm's other triple-double with 13 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in an overtime loss to the New York Liberty in 2014. Diggins is the fourth player in the league to amass a triple-double this season.
Diggins did not play in the fourth quarter as the Storm defeated the Connecticut Sun 101-85. Seattle had led by as many as 32.
Diggins' triple-double the 46th in WNBA history. Alyssa Thomas has 16, the most in WNBA history. Only eight players have multiple triple-doubles in their careers.

Isbel and Pasquantino power Royals to 9-6 win over Braves after Acuña exits with injury

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kyle Isbel hit a pivotal three-run double and Vinnie Pasquantino homered as the Kansas City Royals beat Atlanta 9-6 on Tuesday night after Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. exited with tightness in his right Achilles tendon. Seth Lugo (8-5) won his first start since agreeing Monday to a $46 million, two-year contract for 2026 and '27. Pasquantino finished with three hits and two RBIs. Bobby Witt Jr. also drove in two runs for the Royals, and Jonathan India had a two-run double. Marcell Ozuna homered and knocked in three for Atlanta, and Austin Riley also went deep. But right-hander Erick Fedde (3-11) fell behind 4-0 after two innings in his Braves debut. Michael Harris II had three hits. Acuña left in the sixth inning after chasing down a ball in right field. Pasquantino hit a solo homer in the first, and Isbel gave Kansas City a 7-3 lead with his bases-clearing double in the sixth. Witt added a run-scoring single and Pasquantino an RBI double to make it 9-3. Lugo took a shutout into the sixth, but got only two more outs. He was charged with three runs and seven hits while striking out five and walking four. Carlos Estévez, the fifth Royals reliever, got three outs for his 28th save. Key moment With the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth, Hunter Harvey retired Jurickson Profar on a flyball to preserve a 4-3 lead for the Royals before they scored five times in the bottom half. Key stat The Royals have scored at least five runs in seven of their last 11 games, something they accomplished only 21 times prior to the All-Star break. Up next The Braves will send LHP Joey Wentz (2-2, 5.76 ERA) to the mound on Wednesday. The Royals hadn't announced a scheduled starter. ___ AP MLB: Avery Osen, The Associated Press
