Phillies' edmundo sosa leaves with bruised back after collision with teammate brandon marsh
Sosa, Marsh, and shortstop Trea Turner converged on the ball in short left field. Turner peeled off, Sosa made the catch, then was knocked to the ground by Marsh. Sosa's fall caused the ball to pop out of his glove.
After Phillies head athletic trainer Paul Buchheit and manager Rob Thomson came out to attend to Sosa, the third baseman walked off slowly with Marsh's arm around him. Umpires initially awarded Chisholm a hit, but the call was changed to an inning-ending out in a video review as they concluded Sosa had possession of the ball before hitting the grass. Otto Kemp pinch hit for Sosa in the eighth.

‘Nobody's crying!': Debate on gender pay gap in WBNA and sports
Gender discrimination? Or a general disparity in skill? What's the real reason female professional athletes are often paid so much less than men? The WNBA has thrown the issue back into the spotlight as talks to negotiate a new pay deal break down. When some of the world's best female basketballers hit the court for the annual All-Stars game earlier this month... it was their warm-up attire that captured the most global attention. Their shirts read: 'Pay us what you owe us.' The league is in crisis. Players have refused to sign the latest collective bargaining agreement and are demanding fair pay. And you'll note the of the word 'fair' pay. They're not calling for equal pay but rather a fair proportion of the money they generate for the league. NBA players receive between 49 and 51 per cent of their league's revenue. The NHL - about 50 per cent. NFL players get about 48 per cent of league revenue... While WNBA players are only paid 9.3 per cent of the money they generate for their league. That's despite record attendance, viewership and merchandise sales figures during the 2024 season. Some sports do boast pay parity. Grand Slam tennis has the same prize purse for men and women. Indian cricketers receive the same match fees regardless of gender. BUT bonuses and sponsorship deals remain hugely unbalanced. So - with all that in mind – we'll ask our panel: - Why aren't female athletes receiving a fair pay cheque? - Why does women's sport attract less attention - on tv and in person? - How can the challenges for fair pay be overcome?

Austin Wells Loses Track Of The Outs In 9th Inning And Costs The Yankees A Late Opportunity
Perhaps nobody was happier the Yankees won Wednesday night than catcher Austin Wells after his embarrassing mental lapse on the bases cost New York an opportunity in the ninth inning. 'I think I just was being an idiot,' he said. Anthony Volpe hit a tying homer off Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks with one out in the ninth, then Wells singled and advanced to second base when Trent Grisham tried to bunt for a hit. Grisham was thrown out at first for the second out and credited with a sacrifice. Wells, however, thought the inning was over and wandered off the bag. He got tagged in a rundown for the third out, sending a back-and-forth game to extra innings as fans in the Yankee Stadium crowd of 45,355 groaned. 'He thought there were three outs,' New York manager Aaron Boone said. 'Obviously can't happen. With the base coaches, we say the right thing. We go through with the pitcher, their time to the plate, and number of outs. What do you say? Can't happen.' Instead of having seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt at bat with the potential winning run on second base, the Yankees were resigned to keep slugging it out with Tampa Bay in extra innings. 'Just thought there was three outs,' Wells said. 'Very embarrassed and disappointed for sure. You know you let the guys down when you do that. You give away an out like that in a big spot, so that's disappointing–and definitely no good thoughts going on there.' Fortunately for Wells, his teammates bailed him out. New York fell behind 4-3 in the 10th, tied it again on Cody Bellinger's run-scoring triple, and finally won 5-4 in the 11th on Ryan McMahon's game-ending single to deep center field after a critical balk by reliever Kevin Kelly. The Yankees remained four games behind first-place Toronto in the AL East. 'I mean, everyone did such a great job tonight,' Wells said. 'Started in the beginning with (rookie pitcher Will Warren). Gave us a great position to come back in that game. And I mean all the huge hits that happened and then all the huge innings that the relievers threw. What a game. And that's just something that we've been needing, and to come back like that is huge.'

Miguel Andujar hits 2 hrs to help athletics beat mariners 5-4
Miguel Andujar hit two home runs, Jeffrey Springs pitched six solid innings, and the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on Wednesday night. Brent Rooker and Darell Hernaiz also homered for the A's, who have won six of their last seven games. Springs (10-7) gave up a run on two hits with a walk and seven strikeouts. Jack Perkins pitched two innings and gave up a hit – a solo homer by Randy Arozarena that capped the scoring in the ninth – for his third save. The 30-year-old Andujar had his first multi-homer game in his 433rd major league appearance. Andujar homered off Mariners starter Bryan Woo (8-6) in the fourth to make it 3-1 and led off the seventh with a shot over the wall in left field that made it 5-3. Hernaiz added a solo shot in the fifth. Julio Rodríguez homered in the first inning and Jorge Polanco added a two-run homer in the seventh for the Mariners. Key moment: Rooker hit a two-out solo homer before Shea Langeliers singled, stole second base, and then scored when Tyler Soderstrom doubled to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the first. Key stat: The A's gave up three home runs, and their 161 homers allowed this season are the most in MLB. The Athletics are on pace to give up 236 long balls and shatter the club's single-season record of 220 given up by the 1964 Kansas City A's. Up next: The Mariners kick off a four-game series against Texas at home on Friday. Neither team has announced its starting pitcher. The Athletics' starter is TBD for the first of four games Friday against Arizona. Merrill Kelly (9-6, 3.22 ERA) is set to pitch for the Diamondbacks.
