Stanton, Rice hit early homers as Yankees beat Rays on busy trade deadline day

NEW YORK (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice homered in the first two innings and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 in a game delayed by rain for nearly three hours Thursday. The Yankees highlighted a busy trade-deadline day by agreeing to acquire reliever David Bednar from Pittsburgh in a deal they were working to finalize. Stanton hit his eighth homer since returning from tendinitis in both elbows last month four batters in for a 3-0 lead against Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot (6-9). Rice hit a three-run homer into the Yankees' bullpen in right-center to make it 6-0. New York starter Marcus Stroman (3-3) allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. Pepiot was tagged for seven runs and six hits in four innings. BRAVES 12, REDS 11, 10 INNINGS CINCINNATI (AP) — Marcel Ozuna drove in Matt Olson with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give Atlanta a win over Cincinnati in a game that featured a total of 12 pitchers and 30 hits combined. Ozzie Albies had four hits, scored two runs and drove in two to pace the Braves, who broke a 3-3 tie with eight runs in the eighth inning, only to give up eight runs in the bottom of the frame. Pierce Johnson (2-3) pitched 1 1/3 innings and Raisel Iglesias got his 13th save. Cincinnati's Emilio Pagán (2-4) retired all three batters he faced but took the loss.

Braves and Reds both score eight runs in the same inning

With all due respect to the MLB trade deadline, Thursday's most ridiculous moment came in the eighth inning of the Atlanta Braves-Cincinnati Reds game. It was a normal game for seven innings. The Reds took a 3-0 lead in the third but the Braves came back, tying the game in the sixth. Classic baseball stuff. And then the Braves scored eight runs in the top of the eighth, opening the frame with five straight hits and notching another six straight baserunners after a Jurickson Profar strikeout. The Reds went through four relievers in that inning before Brent Suter finally ended the inning, with the game seemingly lost at 11-3. The Reds responded with eight straight hits to open the bottom of the inning, capped off by a three-run homer from Spencer Steer. Per Elias Sports, it was only the third time in MLB history that both teams scored at least eight runs in the same inning, joining a Detroit Tigers-Texas Rangers game on May 8, 2004 and a Chicago White Sox-New York Yankees game on Aug. 2, 2007. No more runs came in the ninth, sending the game to extras where the Braves prevailed via a sacrifice fly from Marcell Ozuna in the 10th inning. Braves closer Raisel Iglesias prevented the ghost runner from scoring to deny the Reds their best win of the year. It all made for a fun win probability chart. The game was one of only three played on trade deadline day, in which the Reds were a moderate buyer and the Braves were a hesitant seller. Atlanta is well out of the playoffs at 46-62, while the Reds are in the wild-card hunt at 57-53.

NFL Hall of Fame Game: Trey Lance leads Chargers to win over Lions in strong showing

The NFL preseason kicked off a little early, as the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions faced off in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday. The Chargers picked up an easy 34-7 win behind a stellar performance from backup quarterback Trey Lance. Lance, a former third overall pick who has spent most of his career as an unlikely backup, more than proved himself as a play-caller in Thursday's win. The 25-year-old quarterback played the first three quarters of the game, going 13-of-20 for two touchdowns and 120 yards. The game began with a tribute to the four members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025: tight end Antonio Gates, defensive end Jared Allen, cornerback Eric Allen, and receiver Sterling Sharpe. Gates, as a player who spent his entire career with the Chargers, received the biggest cheer from the crowd. After that, the stadium held a moment of silence for this week's attack on the NFL's headquarters in New York. Four people, including an off-duty police officer, were killed in the shooting. Then, it went to the game, where Los Angeles got off to a scorching start. The very first play was a Chargers kickoff-turned-Lions fumble, giving Los Angeles a huge early chance. Though Detroit's defense forced a fourth down, Lance connected with Will Dissly to give the team a 7-0 lead. Chargers cornerback Nikko Reed, an undrafted rookie out of Oregon, also showed his talents early on with an interception on Detroit quarterback Kyle Allen in the first quarter. Reed ran the ball for 60 yards, getting L.A. into the red zone for Kimani Vidal to run in for the team's second touchdown. Allen was picked off again, by Tony Jefferson, before the end of the first quarter. The eighth-year backup ended 9-of 14 for 91 yards in the loss. Detroit finally broke through in the second quarter, with a drive that ended with running back Craig Reynolds barreling his way into the end zone. But Lance was able to throw another touchdown, this time to rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith, before the end of the half. After halftime, L.A. kept things going on offense, with head coach Jim Harbaugh opting to keep the red-hot Lance in for a bit longer. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who missed his first field goal attempt, made his second and third to give L.A a 27-7 lead in the third quarter. Lions rookie Hendon Hooker replaced Allen in the second half of the game, going three-of-six for 18 yards. Rookie DJ Uiagalelei eventually stepped in for Lance in the fourth quarter, and threw two-of-three for 25 yards. With the fourth quarter underway, Vidal ran in for another touchdown to bring the Chargers' score to 34-7. And then Los Angeles rookie cornerback Myles Purchase had a great interception, picking off Hooker to force the Lions' fifth turnover and finish off the game. This story will be updated.
