Cal Raleigh reaches 100-RBI mark as Mariners rally past Mets

Reuters13 hours ago
August 16 - Dominic Canzone delivered the tie-breaking RBI single during a five-run seventh inning Friday night for the visiting Seattle Mariners, who overcame a pair of deficits to defeat the reeling New York Mets 11-9 in the opener of a three-game interleague series.
The Mariners laced a team-record nine doubles and finished with 16 hits overall as they improved to 10-3 this month. Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 46th homer in the third, a two-run shot that made him the first player this season to reach 100 RBIs. He added two doubles later in the game.
Caleb Ferguson (3-2), the third of seven Mariners pitchers, earned the win with a perfect sixth.
Francisco Lindor was 3-for-4 with two homers -- including a leadoff shot -- and four RBIs for the Mets, who have lost 14 of their last 16. Francisco Alvarez was 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs while Juan Soto homered in the fourth.
Each team blew two leads in the first six innings before the Mariners went ahead for good against Ryan Helsley (3-4) and Brooks Raley in the seventh.
Eugenio Suarez chased Helsley by doubling home Raleigh to tie the game with one out and scored on Canzone's single off Raley. Mitch Garver walked and Donovan Solano followed with an RBI double. One out later, Cole Young recorded his third hit, a two-run double, to extend the lead to 10-6.
Julio Rodriguez had his second RBI double in the eighth before the Mets rallied in the bottom half, when Alvarez hit an opposite-field three-run homer off Jackson Kowar. But Matt Brash struck out Ronny Mauricio and got Lindor to pop out to third before Andres Munoz notched his 29th save with a perfect ninth.
Garver homered in the second for the Mariners. Every starter had at least one hit except J.P. Crawford.
Mariners starter Luis Castillo gave up six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings. Mets starter Sean Manaea allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings.

Patrick Mahomes reveals his honest reaction to Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance in 2023

has admitted he was skeptical when Travis Kelce first told him he was dating Taylor Swift - only believing it once he saw the couple together in person. Mahomes and Kelce have played side-by-side for the Chiefs since 2017, developing one of the most successful duos in NFL history - and a strong friendship off the field. Speaking in ESPN's 'The Kingdom', the star quarterback recalled the moment Kelce confided in him about the relationship, days before Swift's first appearance at Arrowhead in September 2023. 'He told me during the week,' Mahomes said in the series. 'It was one of those where I gotta see it until I believe it.' Despite his initial doubt, Mahomes said it became clear once he saw the couple together that there was a real connection. Swift's appearance at Arrowhead during the Chiefs' Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears confirmed the relationship and sparked a media frenzy. Mahomes added: 'You definitely felt the buzz and you could see people in the stadium gravitating towards where she was up there. At the same time, we had business to handle.' Since then, she's become a regular presence at Chiefs games, often spotted in suites alongside Brittany Mahomes, Patrick's wife. Swift and Brittany have developed their own close friendship, frequently seen cheering together on game days and attending off-field events in the season. The two were photographed celebrating victories, attending dinners, and enjoying nights out in New York alongside other high-profile friends. Meanwhile, this week, Swift aimed a not so subtle dig at male NFL fans when appearing on Kelce's podcast, New Heights. 'As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me,' she said tongue in cheek. Swift was awkwardly jeered in February when she rocked up to Caesars Superdome to cheer on Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs. The pop sensation was met with boos from large parts of the 66,000-strong crowd when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time during the Super Bowl, which the Chiefs ultimately lost in humiliating fashion to the Philadelphia Eagles. With the stadium seemingly boasting more Eagles fans than members of Chiefs Kingdom, Swift did not get a nice reception when cameras zoomed in on her before the carnage unfolded. The 35-year-old singer appeared to notice the booing, giving a mocking side-eye response as the noise mercilessly rang out around the packed stadium.

Terry McLaurin off PUP list, can practice with Commanders

August 16 - The Washington Commanders removed disgruntled wide receiver Terry McLaurin from the physically unable to perform list early Saturday. And while the two sides have yet to agree to a contract extension, the transaction means McLaurin can return to practice and start preparing for the season. Multiple outlets reported Saturday that there was no sign of movement on a deal. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that time was running short before the season for McLaurin to start getting reps on the field. The Commanders open the season at home Sept. 7 against the New York Giants, their NFC East rival. McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was put on the PUP list when he reported to camp on July 27, with the team citing an ankle injury. He missed the start of camp and was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total, as allowed by the collective bargaining agreement. He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac. "On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things," head coach Dan Quinn said when McLaurin reported. "While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers." Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024. McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. --Field Level Media

Commanders activate disgruntled star Terry McLaurin after he was slammed by Stephen A. Smith over trade demand

The Washington Commanders have activated disgruntled receiver Terry McLaurin off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as the All-Pro receiver continues to seek a contract extension in D.C. or a trade to a more accommodating organization. McLaurin, an All-Pro and quarterback Jayden Daniels' favorite target, is entering the final season of his three-year, $68.2 million contact. Recently he was fined $200,000 by the team for skipping mandatory minicamp and the first four days of training camp. He has since returned to the team facility in Ashburn, Virginia, where he was placed on the PUP list with an ankle injury last month. Since then, McLaurin has requested a trade, but offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury sparked some optimism this week when he said he wanted to work with the team's full roster. 'We need to start getting those guys, when they´re available out there,' Kingsbury said. One day later, McLaurin was activated, although what this means for his long-term future remains unclear. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the move to take McLaurin off PUP is strictly about his recovery from ankle problems and not connected to any contract discussions. The activation comes a week after Stephen A. Smith ripped McLaurin for his holdout and trade request. 'I'm not sure how wise it is for him to take this position at this particular moment in time,' Smith said of McLaurin's trade request on ESPN's First Take earlier this month. Smith then went on to report that McLaurin was offered around $27m per year by the Commanders. 'The brother is a guy that registers thousand-yard seasons with regularity. He can ball. He is a valuable asset to their franchise,' Smith continued. 'My sources tell me right now, they're at about $27 million with him. I think they should at least come up to $30 million. There's no question about that, but if they come up to $30-$31 million, I'm not sure there's somebody else out there that is giving Terry McLaurin that kind of paper.' While McLaurin is one of the more consistent receivers in the league - with five consecutive seasons of 1,000-plus receiving yards - he will be 31 years old by the time his next contract begins. Nonetheless, he gave Daniels a reliable No. 1 target last year as he caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards in the quarterback's rookie season.
