Supercross 2025 results: 450 highlights, rundown, reaction at Anaheim 2, Jett Lawrence third season winner
The first three rounds of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season featured three winners and three unique holders of the red plate.
Jett Lawrence had a modest start to the evening and completed Lap 1 in fourth. During the next three laps, he swapped positions with Jason Anderson and Hunter Lawrence until the front of the field was well-established by Lap 4 with Justin Cooper leading Anderson and Jett.
When Anderson cleared Cooper on Lap 6, Jett was forced to show patience. Making a pass at the wrong place on the track would allow Anderson to ride him wide and there is no love lost between these two. Jett was content with second for seven laps until Ken Roczen closed the distance and he knew it was time to go. Jett stood Anderson up on Lap 14 and executed the pass when the leader lost his momentum. Jett was practically uncontested for the remainder of the race and cruised to a 2.496-second lead over second-place Roczen.
Roczen finished second in the season-opener at Anaheim two weeks ago and was content with that position at the time. He was content with second again at Anaheim 2 because consistent top-fives and a worst result of fourth last week in San Diego gave him the red plate for the first time since he made the switch to Suzuki.
Anderson held second-place for three laps after losing the lead to Jett but he could not keep a surging Roczen at bay for long. Settling into third on Lap 18, he scored his second podium of the season. Anderson was also second to Roczen in the first Anaheim race.
Chase Sexton did not have a spectacular start but it was much better than the one he experienced in San Diego. Completing Lap 1 in sixth, he never lost a position and gradually worked his way to fourth on the grid.
Still feeling the remnants of flu-like symptoms that slowed him in San Diego, Hunter settled into fifth on the grid, which was his second consecutive result in that position. Hunter sits seventh in points, but needs to threaten for podiums if he wants to erase the 17-point differential to first.
Cooper was one of the unlikeliest hole shot winners of the season. He was caught in a Lap 1 crash in his heat and could only climb to 10th in the final rundown. Cooper won the Last Chance Qualifier but had a horrible gate pick. It didn't matter and Cooper got the jump on the field before losing the lead on Lap 6 and gradually dropping through the field to sixth.
Gate pick did not factor into Eli Tomac's night either. He experienced wheel spin at the gate drop and fell from first to 17th on Lap 1. Tomac moved up through the field until he became embroiled in a contest with Cooper Webb. Tomac minimized his points' loss with a seventh-place finish, but left Anaheim five points behind Roczen as the field heads to Glendale.
For the second week, Aaron Plessinger retired early and failed to earn any points. He crashed into Dylan Ferrandis on Lap 2 and was forced to retire in 22nd. Plessinger now languishes 19th in the standings with 49 points, nearly two full rounds, separating him from first.

Long hair and hot dogs: Meet the Japanese baseball stars making their mark on the Cubs
CHICAGO — Last year, Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga wowed fans when he took the mound at Wrigley Field for Chicago's home opener before going on to have a stellar season — Imanaga's first in the majors. The pitcher, also known as the 'Throwing Philosopher,' went 15-3 for the Cubs in 2024, racking up 174 strikeouts to go along with a 2.91 ERA. The 31-year-old had previously played professionally in Japan from 2016 to 2023. Advertisement In the States, Imanaga soon became a fan favorite not only for how well he pitched, but also for his charisma, sense of humor, and his long, flowing hair. 'You're saying I have the best hair?' a laughing Imanaga told NBC News through a translator when asked about his free-flowing locks. 'My teammates, if I'm drying my hair, if I'm combing my hair, they compliment me, telling me I have beautiful hair,' Imanaga said. 'But my mom and my friends are like, it's probably time to cut your hair.' It's not only the hair that's helped Imanaga endear himself to the Wrigley faithful. During his rookie year, the pitcher decided on 'Chelsea Dagger' as his walk-up song, a tune more famously known in Chicago as the goal song for the NHL's Blackhawks, dating back well over a decade to the hockey team's heyday. Advertisement 'When I first got to the Cubs, I think a lot of the fans were, 'Who is this pitcher?'' Imanaga said. 'And so for me, it was really important to get acclimated with the team, with the fans. What was important was to pick something that all the Chicago fans love.' Imanaga's countryman, outfielder Seiya Suzuki, employs a similar ethos when asked about his favorite ballpark food, saying he would have to go with hot dogs, 'especially' considering the team he plays for. Suzuki joined the Cubs in 2022 after a nine-year career in Japan, and he and Imanaga have since played key roles in helping turn around the team's fortunes. After back-to-back losing seasons, Chicago posted two winning records in each of the last two years. Suzuki and Imanaga have become global stars in the process and are part of a growing Japanese presence in Major League Baseball. In April, the Cubs opened the season in Tokyo against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who feature three Japanese-born players in Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki. Advertisement 'When I was younger, I watched baseball in the U.S., and I thought it was really cool,' Suzuki said. 'So if when I'm playing and the fans in Japan, even if it's one extra person gets to watch, and they want to come to the U.S. to enjoy baseball or something like that, I think that'd be great.' While both Suzuki and Imanaga have pushed the right buttons with their home fans, Chicago's current objective is to get Imanaga back on the mound. He hasn't started a game since May 4, when he left a start against the Brewers with a hamstring injury. The Cubs placed Imanaga, whose jersey is the team's most popular this season, on the 15-day injured list the next day. He's currently progressing toward a return in early June, ramping up his rehab with some bullpen work. Chicago is currently first in the NL Central. This article was originally published on

Oregon girl alleges track meet official ordered her to 'get out of the photo' after protesting trans athlete
Oregon high school senior Alexa Anderson garnered national attention on Saturday when she refused to share the high jump medal podium with a trans athlete at a state track and field championship meet. Viral footage of Anderson and fellow girl athlete Reese Eckard stepping down from the podium also showed an official gesturing for them to step to the side. Anderson alleges the official ordered her and Eckard to get out of the shot of photos if they were not going to stand on the podium. "We stepped off the podium in protest and, as you can see, the official kind of told us 'hey, go over there, if you're not going to participate, get out of the photos,'" Anderson alleged during an interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" Monday night. "They asked us to move away from the medal stand, so when they took the photos, we weren't even in it at all." Fox News Digital has reached out to the Oregon School Activities Association for comment. The incident comes weeks after high school sports officials in California allegedly ordered athletes to take off "Protect Girls Sports" T-shirts at a postseason meet featuring a trans athlete. Anderson added that Saturday was her first time ever competing against a transgender athlete, but she has opposed trans inclusion in girls' sports prior to that and expressed her belief through social media comments. "This is the first public stand that I have taken in this issue, but I have privately supported all the girls that have done with positive messages, commenting on posts, just supporting them and letting them know I'm behind them in any way," Anderson said. Anderson, of Tigard High School, finished in third place in the high jump and Eckard, of Sherwood High School, came in fourth, while the trans athlete, of Ida B. Wells High School, took fifth. "It's unfair because biological males and biological females compete at such different levels that letting a biological male into our competition is taking up space and opportunities from all these hardworking women, the girl in ninth who should have came in eighth and had that podium spot taken away from her, as well as many others," Anderson said. Anderson and Eckard's situation was only one of many instances of girls having to share competition and medal podiums with biological males at state meets this past weekend. In California, a nationally-publicized incident involving trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School culminated in Hernandez winning two state titles. President Donald Trump warned the state not to let trans athletes compete in the girls' state title meet, and the Department of Justice has now given California a deadline of June 9 to revise its policy or federal funding cuts may occur. In Washington, a trans athlete at East Valley High School won the girls' 400-meter 2A state title on Saturday. In response, multiple girls at Tumwater High School, which was at the center of a controversy involving a girls' basketball player being reprimanded for refusing to face a trans opponent in the winter, protested Monday during school hours with a large banner sign that read, "This is not a walk out (sic). We are not going anywhere." Other girls' postseason track and field meets that saw trans athletes compete this weekend took place in Maine and Minnesota. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a nonpartisan research institute, filed a Title IX discrimination complaint against Oregon for its laws that allow biological males to compete in girls' sports on May 27. The complaint was filed to the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which has already launched Title IX investigations against high school sports leagues in California, Minnesota, Maine and Massachusetts. "Every girl deserves a fair shot – on the field, on the podium, and in life," said Jessica Hart Steinmann, AFPI's executive general counsel and vice chair of the Center for Litigation, in a statement. "When state institutions knowingly force young women to compete against biological males, they're violating federal law and sending a devastating message to female athletes across the country."

Red Sox rally but can't overcome Angels' six-run first inning
Angels leadoff hitter Zach Neto smashed a slider that bisected the plate at the top of the zone into the Monster Seats to commence the Angelic aggression. An eight-pitch walk to Nolan Schanuel, a single by Taylor Ward, and a run-scoring error on a groundball botched by third baseman Abraham Toro put the visitors ahead 2-0. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up After Fitts fell behind Mike Trout, 3-1, he opted for a four-seamer against the struggling star. The middle-middle location proved ill-advised, with Trout smashing it atop a platform behind the Monster Seats in left-center for a 454-foot, three-run homer that gave the Angels a 5-0 lead before they'd recorded a single out. Advertisement Fitts finally got his first out of the frame on his 32nd pitch. However, his 33rd offering left a pothole on Landsdowne Street after Jo Adell blasted a four-seamer for a solo homer that made it 6-0. Advertisement The three-homer yield was the first by a Red Sox pitcher in the first inning since Dana Kiecker got taken deep three times by the Tigers on May 26, 1991. It also marked the first time that a visiting team hit three homers in the first inning of a game at Fenway Park in the estimable venue's 114 seasons, according to star MLB researcher Sarah Langs. With Fitts — making just his second start since returning from a pectoral strain — at 39 pitches after a single inning of work, manager Alex Cora elected to lift him in favor of long reliever Hunter Dobbins. Fitts became just the ninth Red Sox starter this century, and the first since Rick Porcello in 2019, to allow at least six runs in a start of no more than one inning. The righthander's velocity was fine — he touched 98 m.p.h. — but his lack of swing-and-miss stuff left the Angels without fear of treading in the batter's box. Fitts elicited just two whiffs among his 39 offerings. Though the start was disastrous, Dobbins quickly stabilized the contest for the Sox. He kept the Angels scoreless for the next four frames, buying time for the Red Sox offense to awaken against Angels lefthander Tyler Anderson. The veteran — a right-lane driver who didn't throw a single pitch that cracked 90 mph — unbalanced the Sox through four innings in which he allowed just one run on back-to-back doubles by Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers in the third. But in the fifth, the Sox erupted in their third look at Anderson. Duran, who snapped an 0-for-17 stretch with his prior two-bagger, kicked off the rally with a one-out double to left-center, and after a Devers walk, advanced to third on a wild pitch. Rob Refsnyder (RBI single) and Carlos Narváez (RBI double) followed with run-scoring hits to chase Anderson after 4⅓ innings, and Romy Gonzalez greeted reliever Hunter Strickland by cuing an opposite-field, two-run double down the right-field line to make it 6-5. Advertisement The Angels regained a measure of separation in the top of the sixth, when Adell ambushed a first-pitch slider from Dobbins and launched it to left for his second homer of the game and a 7-5 lead. That was the only run allowed by the reliever in five bullpen-saving innings during which he struck out four and walked one. Alex Speier can be reached at
