The New York Mets will retire David Wright's number today—Here's how to watch the ceremony for free
The Mets Hall of Fame is about to gain a new member when the team retires David Wright's No. 5 this afternoon ahead of a 4:10 p.m. tilt with the Cincinnati Reds.
Wright spent his entire 14-year MLB career with the New York Mets, where he played third base and served as the team's most recent captain, from 2013-2018. Following a series of back injuries that took him in and out of the game for three years, Wright retired in 2018.
The seven-time All Star garnered two Gold Gloves, two Silver Sluggers, and was named Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award once during his 14-year career, in which he also led the New York Mets to the World Series in 2015.

The Mets extended their win streak in dramatic fashion on Saturday. Mark Vientos gave them the lead with a two-run double in the sixth inning and the Mets weathered a pair of close calls to emerge with a 2-1 win in San Francisco. Now, the Mets will look to extend their win streak to match a season-high seven games in their series finale with the Giants at 7:10 p.m. on Sunday at Oracle Park. Kodai Senga will look to shake off one of his worst starts of the season. Last time out, Senga allowed four earned runs across three innings against the Angels. He enters with a 7-3 record and 1.79 ERA. The Giants will counter with a bullpen game as Matt Gage opens the finale.

Orioles RHP Tomoyuki Sugano ponders his future with the trade deadline approaching
BALTIMORE (AP) — There are plenty of reasons why the Baltimore Orioles would love to hold onto Tomoyuki Sugano for the rest of the season. The Japanese right-hander is loved in the clubhouse, rarely misses a start and, most important, knows how to win on the mound. Those qualities also make Sugano quite appealing to a contender looking to upgrade its starting rotation before Friday's trade deadline. Sugano shackled the Colorado Rockies on four hits over six innings in Baltimore's 5-1 victory Sunday. He matched his season high with eight strikeouts and improved to 8-5. Signed to one-year contract in December, Sugano has clearly been a success in his first season in the big leagues after an impressive career in Japan. The question is, will the 35-year-old rookie stay in Baltimore or be traded by the last-place club? Sugano would prefer to stay put, but he's beginning to understand that anything can happen right up until the final minute of the fast-approaching deadline. 'It's obviously my first time. I don't know what's going to happen,' Sugano said through an interpreter after Sunday's game. After a solid start with the Orioles, Sugano struggled in June and was blown out in successive starts against Tampa Bay (June 27) and Texas (July 2). Then, after adjusting his delivery, he gave up just four hits in six innings against the Mets on July 10 to get back on track. On Sunday against the Rockies, he looked particularly sharp in what might have been his final outing with the Orioles. 'We need him,' interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'When Sugano throws the ball well, he gives us a chance to win. And we need to win games.' So does a team looking to make a run at a pennant or World Series championship. 'If they watched the last three starts, I'd take him,' Mansolino said. 'You watch that Mets start, I'd take him in a heartbeat.' 'He is so well-liked in that room,' Mansolino said. 'The players mess around with him, he messes around with his teammates. He's done it very gracefully.' ___
