Ramírez homers, drives in 4 including go-ahead runs in Miami's 10-8 win over Padres
SAN DIEGO — Agustín Ramírez had the first four-hit game of his career including a home run and a go-ahead two-run single as the Miami Marlins beat the San Diego Padres 10-8 on Wednesday.

Gavin Sheets, who drove in three, gave the Padres an 8-7 lead with a two-run homer in the seventh.
After Ramírez's two-run single in the eighth put the Marlins ahead, Wagaman followed with a double to score Victor Mesa Jr., but Ramírez was thrown out at home.
Miami's Connor Norby was hit in head with an 87 mph changeup from Adam in the eighth inning that knocked Norby to the ground for a time but he remained in the game.
Ramírez, who made his MLB debut on April 21, is hitting .262 with seven homers and 17 RBIs.
Miami is home against San Francisco on Friday with Cal Quantrill pitching against the Giants' Kyle Henderson . San Diego is home against Pittsburgh on Friday with Nick Pivetta versus the Pirates' Mitch Keller .

Tuchel Explains Why Harry Kane May Not Play Until 40 Like Cristiano Ronaldo
Last Updated: The England captain continues to be in great form but coach Tuchel has doubts whether he can maintain his fitness standards like Cristiano Ronaldo. Head coach Thomas Tuchel sent a warning to Harry Kane after the England captain expressed his desire to prolong his playing career as long as possible. Kane, who will turn 32 in July, has his eyes set on the 2026 FIFA World Cup but is also looking to stretch his stint much beyond the quadrennial event. While the Bayern Munich striker is trying to follow in the footsteps of Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Tuchel reckons it would be difficult for him to keep his form and fitness at similar levels. Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, continues to maintain remarkable fitness standards. The 40-year-old is still bagging Golden Boots at the club level apart from major international honours. Ronaldo won the UEFA Nations League with the Portuguese side and is also planning an extension to his Saudi Pro League contract with Al-Nassr, for which he top-scored this season. 'I think it gets more and more difficult in today's game. Cristiano took a step into a league which is not as competitive as the Premier League or Spain, where he played before, as part of keeping his performance up. I think he is always the exception to the rule, we cannot go now from Cristiano Ronaldo and think everyone can play until 39 and 40 in today's game," Tuchel told reporters. 'It will be very demanding, professionalism is a given in today's game, otherwise you have no chance and Harry has this natural ability to score goals." Tuchel's remarks came even as Kane showed no signs of slowing down immediately. The English skipper scored the 450th goal of his professional career to help his team beat 173rd-ranked Andorra 1-0 in the 2027 World Cup qualifying game last Saturday, June 7. 'He scored his 450th goal in the Andorra match, it was a very decisive goal, a very important one and there are at the moment no signs he cannot do it at a high level. How long he can do it, I have not a crystal ball, let's see. He is in a club where they play dominant football, I think that can suit him," said Tuchel. 'Just the outlook until the World Cup, he knows that it is a crucial year for him, also in terms of fitness and being ready to compete in the World Cup in the heat, in the humidity." First Published:

'Deep Respect': Cristiano Ronaldo's Heartfelt Message For Lionel Messi
Last Updated: The Portuguese great expressed admiration for Argentina's finest ahead of the UEFA Nations League final clash against Spain. Portugal legend Cristiano Ronald paid 'deep respect" to his iconic Argentina rival Lionel Messi. Ronaldo expressed his admiration for Messi ahead of the UEFA Nations League final against Spain. Portugal won the summit clash 5-3 on penalties on Sunday, June 8. Hours before the five-time Ballon d'Or winner helped Portugal win their third international title, he delivered a message for the Argentina great that touched the hearts of football fans all over the globe. Offering a glimpse into the camaraderie that exists between the two biggest names in football history, Ronaldo shifted the spotlight from himself during a press conference held following an emotional final victory for Portugal and addressed Messi. The 40-year-old said his regard for Argentina's finest goes beyond the field. 'I've always respected Messi, not just as a rival but as a person. He's done incredible things for football," Ronaldo said, before taking a humorous turn in his tribute by jovially trying his hand at an Argentine accent to further speak on Messi. The attempt drew a laugh from the reporters and fans. 'I'd love to visit Argentina one day. Not just because Georgina [Rodríguez] is from there, but because I have deep respect for Messi and his country." Speculations have been rife over Ronaldo's playing future. In the twilight of his illustrious career, the legendary Portuguese striker will continue to play in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr, according to Fabrizio Romano. Ronaldo was left overwhelmed and shed tears after Portugal lifted the UEFA Nations League title. The ace forward struck the equalizer for his side, taking the game into extra time and then the penalties. In a grounded perspective, Ronaldo said, 'Don't put too much pressure on these young talents. Let them develop their skills naturally." First Published:

Cristiano Ronaldo sheds tears of joy after Portugal's Nations League triumph
Another trophy for Cristiano Ronaldo. More records, more adulation .The Portugal star shed tears after helping his team win the Nations League on Sunday. Ronaldo scored to help Portugal draw level with Spain 2-2 in the final, then watched as his teammates won the penalty shootout 5-3. 'I have many titles with my clubs, but nothing is better than winning for Portugal,' Ronaldo said. 'These are tears. It's mission accomplished and so much joy.' The 40-year-old Ronaldo had been the first to run out onto the field for the pre-game warmup, sparking a huge roar from the Portugal supporters, including many wearing jerseys emblazoned with his name. His appearance prompted many supporters to pull out their cell phones to record the superstar while they could still see him in action. Ronaldo conceded Saturday that he won't be able to play forever. That was three days after he helped Portugal to its first win over Germany for 25 years, scoring the winner for a 2-1 victory in the Nations League semifinals. On Sunday he was driving the team again, though it was initially a frustrating game as his chances were limited by Spain's hard-working defenders. Nuno Mendes fired Portugal level after Martin Zubimendi opened the scoring for Spain. Then Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain ahead 2-1 at the break. But Ronaldo was in the right place at the right time to fire home the equalizer from Mendes' deflected cross in the 61st, setting off joyous scenes among his faithful fans. It was Ronaldo's 138th goal for Portugal. Nobody has ever scored more for their country. Ronaldo kept trying in what was his record-extending 221st appearance for the country, but eventually had to go off exhausted in the 88th to standing ovations from fans and a hug from coach Roberto Martínez. Ronaldo said he was carrying an injury into the game. 'I had already felt it during the warmup, I had been feeling it for some time, but for the national team, if I had to break my leg, I would have broken it,' Ronaldo said. 'It's for a trophy, I had to play and I gave it my all.' Ronaldo's future is uncertain as his contract with Saudi club Al-Nassr only runs to the end of June. He posted 'this chapter is over' on social media after the club's last Saudi Pro League game of the season. On Saturday he said he had all but decided not to go to the Club World Cup despite 'quite a few' offers from participating clubs to play there. Whatever club Ronaldo plays for, he will keep striving for Portugal. 'I have lived in many countries, I have played for many clubs, but when it's about Portugal, it is always a special feeling,' he said.
