Kevin Newman's 3-run HR helps Angels top Nationals
June 29 - Kevin Newman belted a three-run homer and Mike Trout hit a solo shot during a six-run seventh inning to help the Los Angeles Angels post an 8-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night at Anaheim, Calif.
Christian Moore hit a go-ahead single during the decisive frame as the Angels won for the eighth time in the past 12 games. Gustavo Campero homered while Newman and Jo Adell had two hits apiece for Los Angeles.
CJ Abrams homered and Riley Adams had an RBI single for the Nationals, who lost for the 16th time in the past 20 games. Adams, Nathaniel Lowe and James Wood each had two hits for Washington.
Trout got the 12-batter, seventh-inning uprising started by slamming the second pitch of the inning from Zach Brzykcy (0-1) over the wall in left to tie it at 2. Taylor Ward then doubled and Adell singled, ending Brzykcy's outing after three batters.
Eduardo Salazar struck out Logan O'Hoppe and induced pinch-hitter Zach Neto to pop up. But Moore followed with a single through the left side to score Ward and give the Angels a 3-2 lead.
Newman followed with a three-run blast over the short wall in left to give Los Angeles a four-run advantage. Luis Rengifo then doubled and Nolan Schanuel walked to end Salazar's outing.
Ryan Loutos then walked Trout and Ward to force in Rengifo and make it 7-2. Adell bounced out to end the inning.
Abrams came up with two out in the fifth and hit a solo homer to left center off Kyle Hendricks to tie the score at 1.
In the top of the seventh, Washington's Daylen Lile walked with one out off Ryan Zeferjahn (5-1) and stole second. Two pitches later, Adams ripped an RBI single to center to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead.
Washington's Michael Soroka allowed one run and two hits over six innings. He struck out five and walked one.
Hendricks gave up one run and five hits over five innings for the Angels. He struck out five and walked none.
Los Angeles plated a run in the second as Ward walked and Adell singled off Soroka to put runners at the corners. O'Hoppe then grounded into a double play to score Ward.

'We are so thankful to share that Ben has received a double lung transplant,' she wrote. 'We are forever thankful to the donor and his family. This is the beginning of a new lifestyle for Ben, but every new day he has is a gift. It still doesn't feel real that he was walking around completely healthy just five weeks ago. So much can change so quickly. Please keep Ben in your prayers that his body welcomes the new lungs as if they were his own. I am constantly in awe of all the people carrying us through right now. I can't wait to tell Ben all about it. I'm hopeful that in the coming weeks, Ben will be able to give the next update.' This article includes content provided by Facebook.

Tyreek Hill reveals true feelings on Jalen Ramsey's trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers with cryptic social media post
Tyreek Hill has revealed his true feelings about Jalen Ramsey's move away from the Miami Dolphins after sharing a cryptic post on social media. It was confirmed on Monday morning that the Dolphins had traded defensive star Ramsey - and tight end Jonnu Smith - to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a huge move. Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro cornerback, will be rewarded with a $1.5million pay rise as he joins a Steelers side who also persuaded Aaron Rodgers to continue his career. While fans in Pittsburgh will be delighted with the trade, Dolphins wide receiver Hill was clearly upset about the move and made it known shortly after the news broke. Taking to X, Hill shared a GIF of Will Smith standing in an empty room and looking around, during an episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The clip is typically used by social media users to demonstrate a feeling of loneliness or an absence of friends. 🥲 — Ty Hill (@cheetah) June 30, 2025 The only caption to the post was Hill using a 'Smiling Face with Tear Emoji', which showed his disappointment in the move. It serves as the latest hint that Hill could be searching for a move away from the Dolphins, following a disappointing season which ended with him declaring: 'I'm out' Shortly after that incident, Hill awkwardly snubbed his Dolphins teammate Tua Tagovailoa when asked to name his top five quarterbacks in the NFL. The receiver was asked to rank the best quarterbacks in the league and he passed over Tagovailoa, who missed parts of the 2024 season after suffering another concussion. Hill's picks were Ravens star Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen of the Bills, Chiefs icon Patrick Mahomes, Buccaneers star Baker Mayfield and Bengals signal caller Joe Burrow. Hill insisted his selections were in no particular order but his omission of Tagovailoa nevertheless saw the clip go viral. Hill has also been in the headlines after police were recently called over a domestic dispute with his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, and he courted more controversy when answering a fan question on social media. Hill had a down year in 2024 as he dealt with a wrist injury, failing to top 1,000 yards for the first time since 2019 (when he played just 12 games).
