Brewers swat 17 hits to sink Mariners, start new streak
Leadoff hitter Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs for the Brewers, who bounced back after managing just two hits in a 1-0 loss Tuesday that snapped their 11-game winning streak.
Priester (9-2) allowed two runs on six hits. The right-hander walked two and struck out six.
The Brewers broke a 2-2 tie with three unearned runs in the fourth. Isaac Collins reached on a fielding error by Seattle shortstop J.P. Crawford and advanced to second on a wild pitch. With two outs, Anthony Seigler was hit by a pitch and Joey Ortiz grounded a run-scoring single to right, with runners ending up at second and third on the throw home that was just tardy. Seigler scored on Turang's infield single and William Contreras grounded a single off a diving Crawford's glove to make it 5-2.
Milwaukee added another run in the fifth as Jackson Chourio, Collins and Tyler Black led off with consecutive singles.
Mariners starter Luis Castillo (7-6) went five innings and allowed six runs (three earned) on 10 hits. The right-hander, who had won his previous three starts, didn't walk a batter and fanned seven.
The Brewers added a run in the sixth off reliever Trent Thornton on one-out singles by Turang and Contreras and a two-out hit by Chourio.
In the seventh, Milwaukee scored three more runs with a two-out rally. Seigler and Ortiz singled before Turang hit a two-run double to right. Contreras grounded another single off Crawford's glove to extend the lead to 10-2.
The Brewers took a 2-0 edge when they opened the second with three hits. Collins grounded a single to center, Black doubled to right and Blake Perkins drove in both with a double into the left-center gap.
The Mariners tied it in the bottom of the inning. Jorge Polanco led off with a double to right and, two outs later, Dominic Canzone did the same to cut the deficit in half. Ben Williamson followed with a bloop single into shallow center to plate the tying run.

Drake Baldwin blasts two homers as Braves overtake Marlins
August 8 - Rookie Drake Baldwin hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Atlanta Braves erased a four-run deficit to beat the visiting Miami Marlins 8-6 on Thursday in the opener of a five-game series. Atlanta ended a three-game losing streak and evened the season series against the Marlins at 3-3. The Braves had lost five in a row at home. After trailing 6-2 through four innings., Atlanta cut the deficit to one in the sixth on Baldwin's three-run homer. Baldwin tied the game with an RBI single in the seventh, then scored to go-ahead run on Marcell Ozuna's infield hit and a throwing error by shortstop Otto Lopez. The Braves got an insurance run in the eighth when Jonathan Ornelas singled and eventually scored on a wild pitch. Baldwin went 3-for-5 with his 12th and 13th homers. Braves reliever Pierce Johnson (3-3) threw a scoreless seventh inning. Raisel Iglesias worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 15th save.

Atlanta's Carlos Carrasco pitched 5 2/3 innings and yielded six runs on nine hits and two walks with two strikeouts. The Braves got back-to-back solo homers from Baldwin and Ozuna, his 16th, in the first inning. The Marlins erased the deficit with a five-run rally in the second, getting an RBI single from Jakob Marsee, a two-run triple from Eric Wagaman and a two-run homer from Graham Pauley, his third.

NBA free agent Malik Beasley is evicted from his Detroit high rise amid FBI gambling probe
NBA free agent Malik Beasley has reportedly been evicted from his Detroit apartment amid an FBI gambling probe and reports of $8 million in financial chaos. The Detroit News reported Beasley's eviction from the high-rise building known as The Stott in the city's downtown area. Coincidentally, the building is owned by Bedrock Detroit, the real estate firm of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Beasley is currently without an agent after being sued by his former representative, Daniel Hazan, for an alleged breach of contract and outstanding debt. Daily Mail did reach out to an attorney of Beasley, who declined comment, explaining that he was Beasley's criminal defense lawyer and not involved with any financial issues or civil litigation involving the NBA star. Amid the lingering controversies, Beasley has been training in Miami and traveling in Europe, as seen on social media. He also appeared in a self-shot video on Snapchat appearing to reference the gambling he probe he's facing, which ESPN first revealed last month. 'I've been grinding my ass off. I've got this new chip on my shoulder of, like, 'F the world,'' Beasley said. 'My back against the wall. Nobody believes in me. 'I will be better than last year,' he added. 'I'm staying humble. I'm still getting my work in. I have to. I gotta be prepared to either come back to the Pistons or…there's some other teams interested as well.' Beasley has not been charged with any federal crime in the gambling probe. Federal investigators have not commented publicly on the investigation but are believed to be looking into suspicious betting patterns involving games Beasley played in during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023-24 season. What The News described in July as '$8 million worth of financial problems' has reportedly left Beasley in serious debt despite signing $59 million worth of NBA contracts over his career. Beasley was considering a three-year $42 million deal to return to the Pistons when the team pulled the offer amid the federal probe, according to the Detroit News. Team spokespeople did not respond to a request from confirmation at the time. He was sued on April 18 by his former agency, Hazan Sports Management Group, for allegedly breaching a marketing contract, according to court files obtained by Daily Mail. The agency claims it negotiated a $6 million deal for Beasley with the Pistons in the summer of 2024 before being fired and replaced with Seros Partners despite a four-year exclusive marketing agreement. Neither Hazan Sports nor Seros Partners responded to Daily Mail's request for comment. The lawsuit was previously reported by The Athletic but has resurfaced last month amid reports of the federal gambling probe into Beasley. He does face other lawsuits as well. As first reported by The News, Beasley lost a $5.8 million judgement to a lender in 2022. It remains unclear why Beasley needed the money. The News also uncovered a financing statement in which Beasley pledged his current and future NBA earnings to a Florida Firm in order to obtain a loan. Previously, he was sued by his downtown Detroit landlord for allegedly failing to pay $7,355 in back rent, according to The News, which also reports that a Milwaukee barber won $26,827 judgment against Beasley in January. That same month, Beasley lost a $34,390 default judgment to a dentist in Minnesota, where he previously played. Court records from February show Beasley was having some paychecks garnished to pay the dentist. The debt remains outstanding, according to court records reviewed by Daily Mail. Beasley does not have an attorney listed for each case. However, he is represented in the gambling probe by criminal defense lawyer Steve Haney, who did speak with The News last month. 'I have been with Malik for a long time, I have seen a lot of people around him come and go, but I have stayed away from any of his financial management or mismanagement or decisions he would make with money,' Haney told The News. 'I'm his lawyer. I don't get involved in his finances,' he continued. 'You hope to get them around the best business people and planners and management people. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.' Beasley's wife Montana Yao (who he is pictured with in 2019) recently filed for separation As for Beasley's borrowing history, Haney did not see it as unusual. 'It is very common for professional athletes to go to third-party lenders and get advances on contracts,' he said. 'It's a part of the business of professional sports. Many of these lenders are predatory and charge extremely high interest rates and outrageous fees that border on usury.' News of the investigation into Beasley came just four months after his model wife Montana Yao filed for separation. Four years earlier, Beasley was caught having an affair with Scottie Pippen's ex-wife, Larsa. Beasley and Yao ultimately reunited after he publicly apologized on social media, but she has since filed for separation, citing 'irreconcilable differences,' according to court documents obtained by The couple shares two children, but Daily Mail learned he moved on to a new lover: Instagram model and gamer Natalia Garibotto. The Pistons guard appeared to confirm as much on X earlier this year, describing a bikini-clad Garibotto as 'La mine' on the social media platform. The two now make regular appearances on Beasley's Instagram feed, where they were recently seen vacationing on beautiful white-sand beach. 'My sunshine,' read the caption from Beasley. He's also had other legal issues in the past, including an arrest on firearm and drug charges that resulted in a 78-day stint in a Minnesota jail. A 28-year-old from Atlanta, Beasley is a nine-year NBA veteran who has just finished his first season with the Pistons. The former Florida State guard made $6 million this year and has career earnings approaching $60 million. He could still attract NBA teams despite his legal and financial issues. Beasley is coming off his best season as a pro after hitting an impressive 41.6 percent of his 3-point attempts as one of the premiere sixth men in the league.

Utah Mammoth file trademark lawsuit against equipment company
August 8 - Smith Entertainment Group, the owners of the NHL's Utah Mammoth, filed a federal lawsuit against a hockey equipment company to escalate their trademark dispute. The franchise formerly known as the Coyotes moved from Arizona to Utah before the 2024-25 NHL season and spent its first season there known as the Utah Hockey Club. In May, the team revealed its permanent name to be the Mammoth, with an image of a woolly mammoth's face protruding from a mountain serving as the logo. The equipment company, Mammoth Hockey, sent a cease-and-desist letter arguing that the Utah team name could lead to consumer confusion in the market. Mammoth Hockey sells oversized hockey gear bags, though its logo and colors do not resemble Utah's. Smith Entertainment Group disagrees that the Mammoth team name hurts Mammoth Hockey's business dealings. Both parties released statements to the Deseret News in Salt Lake City on Thursday. "Utah Mammoth and the NHL believe strongly that we have the right to use the name Utah Mammoth under federal and state law, and that our use will not harm the defendant or its business in any way," the team's statement said. "We have taken this action only after careful consideration based on the defendant's position. We are not able to comment further on ongoing legal matters." Mammoth Hockey co-founder Erik Olson wrote in a statement to the Deseret News, "Mammoth Hockey intends to vigorously defend the litigation recently commenced against it by Utah Mammoth of the National Hockey League and protect its longstanding trademark used in connection with the hockey goods it has manufactured and sold for the past 10 years." --Field Level Media
