Cubs 6, Red Sox 0: Taken deep too often
Three Studs
Bryan Bello
Yes, he got knocked around early, but he was in command after that, looking incredibly strong late, ending with those same 3 runs thru 6. What are ya gonna do?
Masa Yoshida
He had two hits.
Abraham Toro
He also had two hits, and a nifty play at first.
Three Duds
Chris Murphy
The game was basically over when he came in, but gettin' taken deep three times in an inning isn't what you want.
Reese McGuire
Sad.
Not Seeing Ryan Brasier
He pitched the ninth. Marge is proud.

Lakers shockingly waive center amid roster reshuffling following Marcus Smart deal
The Los Angeles Lakers have made plenty of changes to the roster during the offseason. While LeBron James picked up his player option and Jaxson Hayes was re-signed, Dorian Finney-Smith opted to join the Houston Rockets as Los Angeles was reportedly unwilling to offer more than two years. The Lakers responded by adding Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia and Marcus Smart on two-year deals that allow them to keep their books open for the stacked 2027 class — where they are hoping to find a long-term co-star for Luka Dončić. Los Angeles waived Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin in order to create the necessary cap space to sign Smart. They continued making moves on Monday as Brett Siegel of Clutch Points revealed that the Lakers waived center Trey Jemison III. "The Lakers are waiving Trey Jemison III, who was on a two-way contract." The move follows an announcement that Los Angeles will sign center Christian Koloko and forward Chris Manon to two-way contracts. The front office opted to open up their third two-way spot by waiving Jemison III. The big man appeared in 22 games for the Lakers in 2024-25. He averaged 2.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.4 blocks in 10.3 minutes per game while shooting 61.9% from the field. It is unclear how Los Angeles plans to use their third two-way contract, however, some believe they could opt to sign Cole Swider to a deal after his strong showing in the Summer League. In five games, he averaged 17.6 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 1.6 apg, 1.2 spg and 0.2 bpg while shooting 45.5% from the field and 40.9% from three-point range.

Bob Hammel, legendary Indiana sports writer and friend of Bob Knight, dies at 88
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Bob Hammel, who covered 23 NCAA Final Fours and 29 Indiana high school basketball tournament championships during a 52-year sports writing career that included a close friendship with late Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, has died. He was 88. Hammel died Sunday at Bell Trace, a senior living community in Bloomington, according to an obituary in The Herald-Times, his longtime employer. No cause of death was given. The lifelong Indiana resident spent 40 years with the Bloomington Herald-Telephone and later Herald-Times, including 30 as sports editor. Hammel was a member of several halls of fame, including the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, Football Writers Association of America, Indiana Journalism and Indiana University Athletics. He served terms as president of the Basketball and Football Writers associations. He received the Curt Gowdy Media Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Bert McGrane Award from the Football Writers Association. Hammel won the Indiana Sportswriter of the Year award 21 times. He authored or co-authored 14 books, including the 2002 autobiography of Knight, the fiery IU basketball coach who died in 2023. They also teamed in 2012 for a book titled 'The Power of Negative Thinking.' Upon retiring as Big Ten Conference commissioner in 2020, Jim Delany said, "Bob Hammel is simply the most important Big Ten writer in the last 50 years.' Hammel, a native of Huntington, Indiana, attended Indiana University for a year. He took a summer job as sports editor of his hometown paper and instead of returning to school that fall, he stayed on at the paper for eight years. He worked at papers in Peru, Fort Wayne, Kokomo and Indianapolis before being hired as sports editor of the Herald-Telephone in 1966. His career included covering five Olympics before he retired from sports writing in 1996. He is survived by Julie, his wife of 67 years, son Richard Hammel and daughter Jane Priest. ___ AP college basketball: and

Judge reduces bail for Memphis guard Sincere Parker in domestic assault case
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis guard Sincere Parker's bail was cut nearly in half Monday, two days after he was charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Shelby County General Sessions Criminal Court Judge Greg Gilbert reduced Parker's bail from $120,000 to $75,000. Parker's attorney, Arthur Horne, told reporters that the bond had been posted. Parker is due back in court on July 29. He must remain at least 100 feet from his ex-girlfriend. She told police that the attack occurred on May 27 at the Memphis apartment the couple shared. She reported that Parker pushed her, slapped her in the face and choked her, leaving her bruised and bloodied, according to a police report. The woman also told police that Parker, 23, broke her cellphone because he didn't want her to have the digital key to the apartment. Horne told reporters that the incident was captured on a video call between Parker and his mother, 'which is fortunate for us and fortunate for our defense.' 'We plan on fighting this,' Horne said. 'This has been a long, ongoing saga between him and the ex-girlfriend. I just hope the public will give us time to sort through it so the whole story does come out because there are two sides to this. Right now, it looks like my client, Mr. Parker, is a woman-abuser, and that's not the case.' Horne said he believed the Memphis athletic department is waiting to see how the case unfolds before deciding whether to take action. Parker transferred to Memphis after averaging 12.2 points last season for McNeese, helping the Cowboys and coach Will Wade reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He played his first two seasons for Saint Louis. ___ AP college basketball: and
