Raleigh's 39th home run leads Mariners to snap Brewers' 11-game win streak
Raleigh, who hadn't homered since July 11 against the Detroit Tigers, received an elevated fastball from Brewers right-hander Nick Mears (1-3) and hit it well past the right field wall.
The switch-hitting catcher, who won the All-Star Home Run Derby, provided all the offense on an evening headlined by the pitchers.
Gilbert (3-3) carried a perfect game bid into the fifth inning, and ended up yielding just two singles. The right-hander racked up 10 strikeouts against no walks while needing only 86 pitches to make it into the seventh inning, departing to a standing ovation.
Brewers' rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski was similarly brilliant. The righty struck out seven batters across 3 2/3 innings, yielding three hits while walking one. It wasn't until Misiorowski departed that the Mariners finally pushed a run across and set up closer Andrés Muñoz for his 22nd save of the season.
Key moment
Muñoz walked William Contreras and Jackson Chourio to put two runners aboard with one out in the ninth inning. But Muñoz struck out Isaac Collins and got Andrew Vaughn to ground out to end the threat.

Create Account The 45-year-old Williams, who returned to the tennis tour last week after more than a year away, and Opelka were among the 14 teams announced Tuesday by the U.S. Tennis Association for its mixed doubles event on Aug. 19-20. Eight of the pairings received direct entry into the field based on having the highest combined current singles rankings, and six were given wild cards by the USTA. The players with spots in the bracket include nine who have won at least one Grand Slam singles title and 14 who are ranked in the WTA or ATP top 10 for singles. The eight duos with direct entry are No. 11 Emma Navarro and No. 1 Jannik Sinner; No. 10 Paula Badosa and No. 5 Jack Draper; No. 3 Iga Swiatek and No. 13 Casper Ruud; No. 12 Elena Rybakina and No. 4 Taylor Fritz; No. 7 Amanda Anisimova and No. 9 Holger Rune; Belinda Bencic and No. 3 Alexander Zverev; No. 4 Jessica Pegula and No. 15 Tommy Paul; No. 5 Mirra Andreeva and No. 14 Daniil Medvedev. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Badosa originally had sought a place in the field with Stefanos Tsitsipas, while Draper initially was going to play alongside Zheng Qinwen. In addition to Williams-Opelka, the wild-card entrants are Emma Raducanu and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz; No. 8 Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe; Olga Danilovic and No. 6 Novak Djokovic; Taylor Townsend and No. 7 Ben Shelton; and last year's U.S. Open mixed doubles champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. A total of 16 duos will be competing for the $1 million top prize; the last two wild-card pairs will be known at a later date. It is still possible that Williams will ask for, and receive, a wild-card entry for singles. Those are expected to be announced by the USTA the week of Aug. 11. She won one match each in singles and doubles at the D.C. Open in Washington last week after not competing anywhere since the Miami Open in March 2024. Williams owns seven Grand Slam titles in singles, 14 in women's doubles — all won with her younger sister Serena — and two in mixed doubles. MLB Ontario Wrestling Golf Toronto & GTA

Create Account The Olympic silver medallist in the 800 metres is among those set to compete at the Canadian track and field championships in Ottawa, which run Wednesday to Sunday. The Edmonton native will look to build on a strong season ahead of the world championships in September in Tokyo. 'I'm confident that I'm in the best shape of my life right now, and I'm excited to prove it,' the reigning world champion said. 'Usually, we have our world championships or Olympics, and we still have more competitions following. So to end the season on a high note, I'd love to make the world final. 'Of course, it falls on my birthday this year, so that would be a cool way to celebrate my birthday. To run the world final and hopefully defend my title. So those are the things that I'm most excited about.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The 26-year-old said he aims to improve one per cent each year. He experimented with training at altitude and had an increase in mileage-based days, allowing him to be stronger with his endurance. Arop started the year strong, winning all three of his Grand Slam races in the 800 against stiff competition. While the times weren't what he wanted, the competitive atmosphere — especially early in the season — helped, as did his occasional forays into the 1,500. 'You don't get those kind of races normally throughout the year,' he said. 'It's usually either at like national championships or world championships or the Olympics.' Since then, he ran a season-best time of one minute 42.22 seconds while finishing second at a Diamond League meet in London on July 19. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. His personal best of 1:41.20, also a national record and fourth all time, came in his silver-medal effort in Paris last year _ an experience he says gave him a major confidence boost. 'I do feel like I've gained confidence following last year,' Arop said. 'I think during 2023 I had probably the most confidence in myself. And then going into the Olympics last year, I wouldn't say I was in the best place to compete. 'But after figuring it out and going through the ups and downs, it gave me confidence knowing that no matter what, I can show up when it matters and whether we're healthy or not. When the time comes, I know how to bring the best out of myself, whatever that may be.' Arop said several factors played into how he felt in Paris last summer. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I think minor injuries come and go. Last year, it was sort of that final buildup going into the Olympics. I did have a race _ it was in Monaco — and it didn't go as well as I hoped it would,' he said. 'And when everybody else is running so fast, it's easy to for the doubt to creep in … And you start questioning your own abilities and if you have what it takes. And I think the feeling of my first Olympic experience in Tokyo was involved in a way. However, I was also comforted knowing that I'm the world champion and I've been in this stage so many times. I think the experience really showed and took me out of that space.' Sprinter Andre De Grasse, Canada's most decorated male Olympian, two-time world indoor shot put champion Sarah Mitton, and Olympic hammer throw champions Camryn Rogers and Ethan Katzberg are among the top names set to compete this week in Ottawa. The men's and women's hammer throw finals are Thursday, the women's shot put and men's 100 go Friday, the men's 800 is Saturday and the men's 200 wraps things up on Sunday.

Gunman who killed 4 at Manhattan office building was targeting NFL headquarters, mayor says
NEW YORK (AP) — A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building before killing himself was trying to target the headquarters of the National Football League but took the wrong elevator, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people Monday in the building's lobby but accidentally entered the wrong set of elevator banks, Adams said in interviews. Four people, including off-duty New York City Police Officer Didarul Islam, were killed. Police said Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested that he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which can only be diagnosed after someone has died. He played high school football in California nearly two decades ago, but he never played in the NFL. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

'The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank.' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a memo to staff that a league employee was seriously injured in the attack and was hospitalized in stable condition. 'We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer Islam, who gave his life to protect others,' Goodell said. The note found on Tamura claimed he had been suffering from CTE — the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma common in contact sports like football — and said his brain should be studied after he died, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. It also specifically referenced the NFL, one of the people familiar with the matter said. The shooting happened along Park Avenue, one the nation's most recognized streets, and just blocks from Grand Central Terminal and Rockefeller Center. It's also less than a 15-minute walk from where UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed last December by a man who prosecutors say was angry over corporate greed, and Monday's attack could bring further attention to security in the business world. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he knows that area of Manhattan well. 'I trust our Law Enforcement Agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence. My heart is with the families of the four people who were killed, including the NYPD Officer, who made the ultimate sacrifice,' Trump posted on social media. In addition to housing the NFL's headquarters, the skyscraper is home to the investment firm Blackstone and other companies. Blackstone confirmed that one of its employees, Wesley LePatner, was among those killed. 'Words cannot express the devastation we feel,' the firm said in a statement. 'Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed. She was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond.' A Yale graduate, LePatner was a real estate executive at Blackstone, according to the firm's website, and spent more than a decade at Goldman Sachs before joining the firm in 2014. Surveillance video showed the man exiting a double-parked BMW just before 6:30 p.m. carrying an M4 rifle, then marching across a public plaza into the building. Then, he started firing, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, killing a police officer working a corporate security detail and then hitting a woman who tried to take cover as he sprayed the lobby with gunfire. The man then made his way to the elevator bank and shot a guard at a security desk and shot another man in the lobby, the commissioner said. 'Our officer, he was slain in the entryway to the right as soon as he entered the building, the suspect entered the building,' Adams said in a TV interview. 'He appeared to have first walked past the officer and then he turned to his right, and saw him and discharged several rounds.' The man took the elevator to the 33rd floor offices of the company that owned the building, Rudin Management, and shot and killed one person on that floor. The man then shot himself, the commissioner said. The building, 345 Park Avenue, also holds offices of the financial services firm KPMG. Islam was a 36-year-old immigrant from Bangladesh who had served as a police officer in New York City for 3 1/2 years, Tisch said at a news conference. His body was draped in the NYPD flag as it was moved from the hospital to an ambulance, with fellow officers standing at attention. 'He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm's way. He made the ultimate sacrifice,' Tisch said. 'He died as he lived: a hero.' Adams said one challenge of the investigation has been that Tamura only arrived in New York shortly before the shooting, leaving few clues in the area. The mayor said it's also a challenge for law enforcement 'dealing with those who come from areas with lax gun laws that allow individuals to have these high-powered weapons into cities like New York that have strong gun laws.'
