Alex Palou's crash in Detroit Grand Prix continues streak of Indy 500 winner not winning next race
Palou, the first Spaniard to win the Indy 500, crashed into a barrier on Turn 1 with 28 laps to go. It came after the leaders pitted on a caution and during the restart with contact from David Malukas. It will be Palou's worst placement (25th, did not finish) in a dominant season after he won five of the first six races and finished runner up to Kyle Kirkwood at Long Beach.
It was Al Unser Jr. who won the Indy 500 and then the Milwaukee mile in consecutive weeks in 1994. It had been a quarter century since Juan Pablo Montoya won the Indy 500 and went on to win his next race, albeit in CART at the Milwaukee mile.

Premier League 2025-26 season predictions: Champion, top four, Golden Boot, relegation, surprises, sack race
We made it, everybody! The Premier League is back and we're buzzing in anticipation of what promises to be a scintillating season of football in England. MORE — Watch Premier League games live on NBC platforms| Will a healthy Erling Haaland return to the top of the scoring charts? Is there a new title winner amongst the 19 times not named Liverpool? Who was the best transfer this summer? And... are there four title contenders?! This could well be a season for the ages, and we've quizzed our staff for their predictions. Here are the thoughts of Joe Prince-Wright, Andy Edwards, and Nick Mendola. The Premier League Golden Boot winner will be... Joe Prince-Wright: Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal — The amount of crosses and clever passes he will get to feast on means 25+ goals for the Swedish import from Sporting Lisbon. Andy Edwards: Erling Haaland, Manchester City Nick Mendola: Erling Haaland, Manchester City — He missed seven games last season and finished the same number of goals behind Mohamed Salah, then scored thrice in 255 minutes at the Club World Cup. The bounce back is coming, and City feel deeper at the playmaker positions around Haaland. Who will be the comeback player of the year? Joe Prince-Wright: Jack Grealish, Everton — Everything is set for him to be a fans favorite at Everton. If he stays fit he will dazzle. Andy Edwards: Phil Foden, Manchester City Nick Mendola: Jack Grealish, Everton — Unsure if his statistical numbers will wow, but the proverbial system shackles are different under David Moyes than they were under Pep Guardiola and Grealish should be rampaging in open space on the counter while Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil help provide space and both Thierno Barry and Beto aim to feast on their spoils. Who will prove the best signing of the season? Joe Prince-Wright: Florian Wirtz, Liverpool — Expensive signing but my word is he worth it. Andy Edwards: Joao Pedro, Chelsea Nick Mendola: Martin Zubimendi — Not ticketing the Spaniard for the next Ballon d'Or or anything, but this feels nearly as significant a signing as Rodri's for Manchester City a few years back. Zubimendi should make Declan Rice even better, too. The Premier League surprise team will be... Joe Prince-Wright: Chelsea — They will contend for the title until the very end. Andy Edwards: I actually think this is the season that Manchester United finally stabilize and drag themselves back to sustainable respectability. Not playing in Europe will give Ruben Amorim extra time to fine-tune his team on the training ground, putting them at a recovery and preparation advantage more often than not this season. Nick Mendola: Sunderland and Manchester United— For Sunderland, It's not just the spend but it's the purchases, as we've seen other promoted sides struggle mightily despite transfers. Granit Xhaka is a huge add, and I sneaky love the Marc Guiu loan from Chelsea. Simon Adingra is also a PL-proven talent, while Enzo Le Fee and Habib Diarra headline a half-dozen or so faces that could lead the Black Cats to safety. Surely, one or two of those bets will hit. As for Man United, I'm listing them second because I don't know what constitutes a surprise for most viewers of the Premier League. They're going to score more, and they're going to look a lot more like a Ruben Amorim team. I worry about what dropping Bruno Fernandes out of the front three will do to the team, but I believe they will be comfortably in a European place at the end of the season and that's a step up. Who will be the Player of the Year? Joe Prince-Wright: Cole Palmer, Chelsea Nick Mendola: Bukayo Saka, Arsenal Who will be the Young Player of the Year? Joe Prince-Wright: Myles Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal Andy Edwards: Carlos Baleba, Brighton & Hove Albion Nick Mendola: Rayan Cherki, Manchester City Which Premier League manager will be sacked first? Joe Prince-Wright: Daniel Farke — Leeds have a tough start and the pressure will build early. Andy Edwards: Graham Potter... but no one will be sacked until November, maybe December. There isn't a clear and obvious hot-seat candidate to start the season (Postecoglou has already gone), unless Man United were to start badly. Nick Mendola: Vitor Pereira — His fiery nature was awesome to watch last season but could burn him as Wolves learn just how critical Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were to their mission. Who will be relegated from the 2025-26 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Leeds United, Burnley, Sunderland — The promoted trio just have too much work to do to catch up. After losing key players Wolves and Brentford will struggle, but should just stay up. Andy Edwards: Burnley, Sunderland and West Ham... but only because I don't want to just pick the three newly promoted teams every season (even if it is right). Nick Mendola: Leeds United, Burnley, Brentford — There should be a real relegation fight this season involving more than 4-5 teams, as I believe Sunderland have put together a team above the fray. Brentford's scouting system is superb but the losses of Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, and maybe Yoane Wissa gloss over the bigger loss in club living legend Thomas Frank. Which Championship teams will be promoted to the 2026-27 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Ipswich Town, Southampton, Birmingham City — Such a bonkers league but the relegated trio will all do well. Leicester's financial issues and possible sanctions may hit them hard, so let's go with Birmingham to come up via the playoffs. Andy Edwards: Sheffield United, Ipswich Town, and Birmingham City. Nick Mendola: Southampton, Ipswich Town, Bristol City — The (seemingly) looming punishment for Leicester City makes it complicated to bet on all three relegated teams to bounce right back up to the Premier League. There are a number of teams who could win the playoffs but I like Bristol City's system if they can finish more chances this season. Who will win the 2025-26 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Arsenal — It feels like they finally have the depth, and the goal scorer, to get them over the line. It will be super close between the top four who are a class above the rest. Andy Edwards: Liverpool Nick Mendola: Arsenal — Yes there's still the huge mental hurdle, but Mikel Arteta will have learned quite a bit from his complaint- and red card-heavy wasted season. The Martin Zubimendi signing is massive and Viktor Gyokeres joining Kai Havertz makes the Gunners deep at center forward. I also love the idea of Noni Madueke's presence supplanting Gabriel Martinelli or pushing the Brazilian to more consistent play and even new heights. Now watch as they finish a point back of Man City after Haaland bags 40 goals. Relive every goal scored by Manchester City during their 2024-25 Premier League campaign. Rebecca Lowe and the chaps discuss Chelsea's chances to contend with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City in the Premier League title race this upcoming season. Relive every goal scored by Arsenal during their 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

Pat Murphy, Matt Arnold Have The Milwaukee Brewers On A Roll
The Milwaukee Brewers are the best team — and the best story — in the major leagues. Double-digit winning streaks. A rookie with 102 mph heat. Pocket pancakes and (potentially) free hamburgers. In Year 1 A.U., the first season after franchise icon Bob Uecker's passing on Jan. 16, the Brewers have delivered golden moments with the promise of more. Manager Pat Murphy's Brewers have rolled to the top the NL Central with a 26-4 run that has that included two 11-game winning streaks, and the current run has the 20 Milwaukee-area George Webb Restaurant locations on high alert as the streaking Brewers face Pittsburgh today. Fans receive free hamburgers when the Brewers reel off 12 in a row, and 168,194 were rewarded the first time it happened in 1987, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Other numbers are just as impressive. Only three teams since 1953 have had a better 30-game stretch, and the Brewers are first team since the 1978 Pittsburgh Pirates to have two double-digit win streaks in July or later. Since Jackson Chourio reached over the fence to take a homer away from Minnesota's Royce Lewis to end the Twins' 13-game winning streak May 18, the Brewers are 54-19. Murphy, who introduced pocket pancakes as an in-game snack during a TV interview Aug. 1 that has gone viral, seems a lock to be the first repeat winner of the BBWAA's NL Manager of the Year award since Atlanta's Bobby Cox in 2004-05. GM Matt Arnold Excels in His Small Market The Brewers' 2025 payroll is approximately $113.1 million this season, according to Spotrac, which is 20th in the majors and almost exactly one-third of the Mets' outlay of $339.2 million. The Brewers have 11 more wins than their big-spending rivals, and only Pittsburgh, Colorado and Miami have a lower payroll the NL. The Brewers have made the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons with four NL Central titles. Since replacing David Stearns after the 2022 season, Arnold has consistently made the right move while operating under the financial constraints of a franchise that has the smallest market in the majors, with a population base of around 1.69 million. The cast changes but the results remain the same. Arnold swung one of his best deals in this first month of job, acquiring catcher William Contreras in a three-way trade with Atlanta and Oakland in Dec. 2022. It cost the Brewers Estuary Ruiz. Contreras and veteran Christian Yelich are key weapons. Closer Trevor Megill, who has ably replaced departed free agent Devin Williams, was acquired from Minnesota for a player to be named in April, 2023. Flash forward to this season. New left fielder Isaac Collins, claimed off waivers from Colorado in 2022, has become a candidate for NL Rookie of Year with eight homers, 40 RBIS and an .853 OPS. Veteran left-hander Jose Quintana (10-4) signed as a free agent in March, and right-hander Quinn Priester (11-2) was acquired from Boston in April. They have helped Milwaukee starters to a 3.38 ERA, lowest in the NL. Rookie Jacob Misiorowski and his 100-plus mph fastball arrived mid-season, and all he did was pitch five hitless innings in his June 12 debut while throwing 14 pitches at 100 mph. He topped out at 102.2. First baseman Andrew Vaughn, a proven major league hitter who was scuffling with the Chicago White Sox, has been on fire since being acquired June 13 trade. He has eight homers and 32 RBIs in 26 games with the Crew. Brewers Follow the Fundamentals The Brewers catch the ball, take the extra base, and protect leads. Milwaukee has 'saved' 36 runs move than the average major league team on defense, according to baseball-reference com, fourth in the majors. Right fielder Sal Frelick has saved nine, second baseman Bruce Turang eight and shortstop Joey Ortiz five. Frelick and Turang won Gold Gloves a year ago. Center fielder Blake Perkins, a Gold Glove finalist in 2024, threw out Starling Marte at the plate to end the Brewers' 3-2 victory over the New York Mets on Aug. 8 to extend the Brewers' winning streak to seven. The Brewers have 130 stolen bases, second in the majors with a 75.1 percent success rate. Their speed translates once they get a runner to second base, also. Milwaukee runners have scored from second on a single 104 times, according to CodifyBaseball. Toronto is second with 90, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are third with 87. The Brewers' bullpen, with Megill at the back end, has blown only two leads that cost a stating pitcher a victory, the lowest in the majors.
