Ryan McMahon sparks comeback, Yankees beat Phillies 4-3 to end 3-game slide
NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan McMahon sparked a comeback with a tying, two-run double in a four-run second inning against Zack Wheeler, and the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 Sunday to salvage the finale of a three-game series.
Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto made a spectacular leaping grab and tag of Cody Bellinger at the plate for an inning-ending double play that denied the Yankees a run in the third.
Austin Wells hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly and Trent Grisham an RBI single against Wheeler (9-4), who tied his career high with three hit batters — including two in a row in the second.
Rookie Otto Kemp had his first big league multi-homer game and Nick Castellanos also went deep as the Phillies hit three solo shots off Carlos Rodon (11-8), who allowed four hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Acquired Friday from Colorado, McMahon had a pair of hits and made a sliding stop to his glove side at third to throw out Realmuto in the second.
Jonathan Loaisiga, Luke Weaver, Tim Hill and Devin Williams combined for one-hit shutout relief, with Williams striking out two in a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances. Yankees relievers entered with a big league-worst 7.11 ERA since June 28.
New York stopped a three-game slide ended a sloppy streak of five straight games with errors. Key moment
Phillies center fielder Johan Rojas threw out Bellinger trying to score on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s 293-foot flyout in the third. Realmuto jumped and swiped down to tag Bellinger on the neck as the runner's feet slid wide of the plate and Bellinger reached to touch it with his left hand. Key stat
New York won without a home run for the first time since June 22. Up next
Phillies: LHP Cristopher Sánchez (9-2, 2.40) starts Monday night at the Chicago White Sox, who send RHP Davis Martin (2-8, 3.89) to the mound.

Naomi Osaka makes career announcement involving Patrick Mouratoglou
Naomi Osaka has a new opening at coach. The former World No. 1 announced Sunday on social media that she and coach Patrick Mouratoglou are parting ways. 'Merci Patrick. It was such a great experience learning from you. Wishing you nothing but the best," Osaka wrote. "You are one of the coolest people I've ever met and I'm sure I'll see you around.' Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, has been in a career rut for years. Mouratoglou joined her staff in September of 2024 and there hasn't been much improvement. Osaka has not made it past the third round of a Grand Slam tournament since 2021 when she won the Australian Open. Now she will look for a new coach to help bring her back to form. Mouratoglou has coached a variety of talented players, most notably Serena Williams, but he has not had much success as of late. He recently split twice with ATP player Holger Rune and now with Osaka. His opportunities could be dwindling. Osaka will now prepare for the hard court season with the U.S. Open beginning August 24th. She lost her second match at the D.C. Open recently and will look to improve before heading to New York. It's a tough split but if it results in improvement for Osaka nobody will blame her. MORE: Serena Williams' former coach questions Novak Djokovic's mentality in Grand Slam pursuit

Bills' newest WR abruptly retires before playing a game in Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills just signed a new wide receiver earlier this week. But it turns out he won't be playing for the Bills, or any NFL team, after all. On Saturday, Buffalo placed David White on the reserve/retired list. The 25-year old pass catcher is stepping away from football. White was an undrafted rookie in 2024 who had spent his college career at Valdosta State and then Western Carolina. He signed with the Jaguars out of college, but he tore his ACL in OTAs and never got to suit up for the Jags. The Bills signed White on July 22, but he had retired by July 26. MORE: Bills' James Cook contract saga doesn't lessen his importance to Super Bowl aspirations Over four college seasons, two apiece at Valdosta State and WCU, White had 94 catches for 1,442 yards and 19 TDs. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver out of Jacksonville always looked the part. White did make it to Bills training camp before retiring. He's pictured signing autographs for fans in one photograph from earlier in the week. But, whether for injury or a different reason, White's NFL career now appears abruptly over.

Knicks Set To Hire Mike Brown As New Head Coach
Knicks Set To Hire Mike Brown As New Head Coach originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The New York Knicks are closing in on their next head coach, and it's a name with both pedigree and championship experience. According to senior ESPN insider Shams Charania, the Knicks are expected to hire two-time NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown to lead the franchise into its next phase. After a month-long search following the surprising firing of Tom Thibodeau, Knicks president Leon Rose appears to have made his choice. Brown brings with him a wealth of experience, having coached across three decades in the NBA. He is a four-time NBA champion as an assistant, winning titles with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs under Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich. His resume includes guiding teams with elite defensive identities, but his most recent accomplishment was shaping the Sacramento Kings into an offensive juggernaut in 2022–23, the top-rated offense in the NBA that season. His time in Sacramento ended unexpectedly in December 2024, when the Kings fired him midseason. The decision was widely criticized across the league, with many believing Brown was unfairly dismissed despite his efforts to transform a perennial lottery team into a playoff contender. Now, just months later, he lands in the biggest market in the league with a chance to coach one of the most promising rosters in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are coming off their best season in over two decades. They finished third in the East with a 51–31 record and made their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. However, after losing to the Indiana Pacers in six games, the front office shocked fans and analysts by firing Tom Thibodeau. While the move raised eyebrows, it was clearly the beginning of a vision shift and now, Mike Brown will be tasked with building upon that momentum. Brown inherits a deep, talented, and versatile roster. Jalen Brunson has emerged as a true superstar and leader of the team, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges bring scoring and spacing. OG Anunoby and Josh Hart offer elite perimeter defense and hustle, giving Brown a core group tailor-made for two-way basketball. The challenge will be to balance that defensive identity with a modernized, efficient offense, something Brown has proven capable of managing. New York's coaching search was exhaustive. Leon Rose reportedly requested permission to interview five sitting NBA head coaches but was denied each time. The front office then pivoted to multi-round interviews with several free-agent candidates. Brown impressed throughout and was seen as the best blend of experience, flexibility, and leadership. This hire signals a strong belief in the current roster's ability to contend now, without blowing up the foundation built under Thibodeau. Brown's reputation as a steady presence, with championship acumen and locker room respect, could be exactly what the Knicks need to clear the next hurdle: reaching the NBA Finals. As the Knicks aim to build on their 2025 success, Mike Brown will be at the helm, poised to guide a hungry, rising squad through the East's gauntlet. This story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
