All-Stars on display as Cubs face Guardians in series finale
The accolades keep coming for Chicago center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who has been named as a starter for the National League in the All-Star Game in Atlanta on July 15. All-Stars on display as Cubs face Guardians in series finale Crow-Armstrong will look to continue his stellar first half when the Cubs aim for a sweep of their three-game series against the visiting Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night. The 23-year-old Crow-Armstrong had two hits and two RBIs in a 5-4 victory on Wednesday. Chicago rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to win for the fifth time in its past seven games. Carlos Santana, Lane Thomas and David Fry hit solo homers for Cleveland, which has only 12 runs during a six-game losing streak. The Guardians hope to develop young players similar to Crow-Armstrong, who is batting .268 with 21 homers, 64 RBIs and 26 stolen bases in his second full season with Chicago. "The All-Star Game is an awesome stage for him, for the Cubs, for his brand," Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said. "He certainly with the way he's played for the first 80-something games he absolutely deserves to be standing in center field at the start of the game." Crow-Armstrong will be joined at the All-Star Game by Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker, who has been named a starter for the first time in his career. Tucker is batting .290 with 17 homers and 21 stolen bases. Cleveland also will have a starter in the Midsummer Classic in third baseman Jose Ramirez, who is set to make his seventh All-Star appearance and fourth start. Ramirez is batting .301 with 13 homers, 38 RBIs and 21 stolen bases. "He's the best all-around third baseman in baseball," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. "He's one of the top five players, in my opinion. exemplifies what it means to be a professional baseball player on the field, and he plays the game the right way. I'm just thankful I get to watch him do it every day." Thursday's series finale will feature a pair of right-handers in Chicago's Cade Horton and Cleveland's Luis Ortiz . Horton, 23, yielded seven runs including a pair of three-run homers with four walks over four innings in a 7-4 loss to the Houston Astros last Friday. "I got my kicked today," Horton said after the defeat. "It was the first time I felt like I wasn't able to slow the game down, and I let my emotions get the best of me. I've got to learn from it and move on." Horton will make his first career appearance against Cleveland. The 26-year-old Ortiz allowed four runs over seven innings in a 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals last Friday. He posted a 4.30 ERA with 32 strikeouts across 29 1/3 innings in five outings last month. "Man, he loves to be coached and he loves to be challenged," Cleveland pitching coach Carl Willis said about Ortiz. "He's learned about himself, I think that's been a huge part of us seeing him trend forward." Ortiz is 0-2 with a 3.75 ERA in three career games against the Cubs.

Tyson Fury Eyes Ring Return, Targets Anthony Joshua And Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury may return to boxing, eyeing fights with Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk. He aims to reclaim titles and avenge losses, especially against Usyk. Decision expected soon. Irish Boxing legend Tyson 'Gypsy King' Fury is potentially eyeing a return to the ring, after his wife, Paris, consented to the decision. He already has a couple of names in his mind that he wants to fight in order to add to his legacy. Anthony Joshua, his British compatriot, emerged as a potential candidate that he would want to share the square with. 'He might be f***ing 60 by the time I decide I want him – or it might be next week. I am looking forward to contemplating the idea of returning. I am taking it all onboard and I will make a decision in the forthcoming few months. The all-British fight with Joshua will be big and if we both go to our grave – without having fought each other – it would be a travesty for British boxing," he added. However, Joshua could be sidelined, should Fury get a shot at the reigning heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk. 'But I feel like, what I really want is revenge. But I only want to fight Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people, and lift all the belts. That would be my dream," he said. Fury and Usyk have already met twice in Saudi Arabia. In their first bout, with their undefeated records on the line – a shot to become the first 'four-belt' lineal, undisputed heavyweight champion – Fury found himself on the wrong end of the judges' scorecards as he lost a split decision to Usyk. It was later revealed that his wife lost their baby in the follow up to the fight. 'The hardest thing for me around that first Usyk fight was that I could not be there, for the person who has been there the most for me in my life, when she needed me the most. That was the toughest thing." he said. An immediate re-match was booked as Fury prepared himself to shatter the aura around the now undisputed and still-undefeated Usyk. Fury, albeit locked in, faced an ever-evolving and elusive Usyk, who outclassed him for the majority of the fight which led to a unanimous decision victory for the Ukrainian. This ultimately led to Fury announcing his retirement via social media. This, however, isn't his first time. Fury's license was suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control in October 2016, as his mental health deteriorated and he spiraled into a pit of despair and drugs after winning the world title(s) off Usyk's compatriot – Wladimir Klitschko. He wouldn't stay down for long, as he would make his comeback to the ring in 2018 – setting up the now-famous trilogy with the American power-puncher, Deontay Wilder. Fights – which were microcosm of his heart and grit (and chin) in the face of adversity. Will Fury make a searing return like before? Where he breaks his losing streak and goes on a title run? Or will the fight with Joshua, or Usyk trilogy definitively mark the end of a storied career? We'll see.
