Tatis hits a 2-run walk-off homer to give Padres a 6-4 win over the Angels

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a two-run 430-foot walk-off homer to centerfield to give the San Diego Padres a comeback 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
Tatis dropped the bat emphatically and watched the ball fly after he connected on a cutter against Angels closer Kenley Jansen (0-2), who took the loss.
Padres reliever Jason Adam (4-0) earned the win with a scoreless ninth.
Matthew Lugo hit a pinch-hit two-run homer in the seventh to give the Angels a 4-2 lead. Lugo's homer followed an RBI double in the seventh by Jo Adell, igniting a three-run rally after the Angels had two outs and no baserunners.
Angels starter José Soriano gave up two unearned runs and four hits in seven innings.
Padres starter Dylan Cease pitched 6 2/3 innings, giving up two runs and five hits while striking out 10.
The Padres ended their two-game losing streak and finally beat the Angels, who had won their past four games over San Diego dating back to last season.
Key moment
With the game tied 4-4 in the ninth, Elias Díaz earned a full count walk to lead off the inning against Jansen. Tatis followed with his walk-off homer.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. leaves minicamp practice after bruising right shoulder

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars Pro Bowl receiver Brian Thomas Jr. bruised his right shoulder during mandatory minicamp Wednesday, but coach Liam Coen said he could have returned to practice. Thomas landed hard on his shoulder while trying to catch a pass from Trevor Lawrence in 11-on-11 drills. The second-year pro walked off the field without assistance while holding his shoulder. Team trainers evaluated him in the indoor practice facility, and he later rejoined teammates on the sideline. 'He's fine,' Coen said. 'He absolutely could have gone back and played. Just bruised it a little bit. Said he had a great range of motion, strength. He was all good. So no issues, just precautionary.' Thomas caught 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie last season. He's expected to be the focal point of Coen's offense, especially after the Jaguars traded Christian Kirk and released Gabe Davis. 'Anytime guys go down, it's never fun to see, and we've been really blessed and fortunate,' Coen said.

Canadian Branstine upsets top seed at Libema Open, Diallo also moves on

'S-HERTOGENBOSCH – Carson Branstine upset women's top seed Liudmila Samsonova while fellow Canadian Gabriel Diallo downed men's eighth seed Jordan Thompson on Wednesday at the Libema Open grass-court tennis tournament. Branstine, ranked No. 231 in the world and playing in her first WTA Tour-level main draw, completed the 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 victory with a dominant third set after the match was suspended Tuesday night due to darkness with the players tied at a set each. Branstine didn't face a break point in the final set while breaking Russia's Samsonova, ranked 18th in the world, twice in four chances. The 24-year-old Canadian qualifier is set to face Romania's Elena-Gabriela Ruse in second-round action on Thursday. Montreal's Diallo came back from a set down to beat Australia's Thompson 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 and advance to the men's quarterfinals. Diallo, ranked 55th on the ATP Tour, had 11 aces and was broken just once on 10 chances as he picked up his second career win on grass. He converted three of the seven break chances he had against Thompson, who is ranked 37th in the world. Diallo will next face third seed Karen Khachanov of Russia, who needed a third-set tiebreaker to get past American qualifier Mackenzie McDonald on Wednesday. In women's doubles quarterfinal action, Branstine and Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., lost 7-5, 6-3 to the second-seeded team of Hungary's Fanny Stollar and Russia's Irina Khromacheva. Andreescu is still alive in the singles tournament and will face seventh seed Lulu Sun of New Zealand in the second round on Thursday.
