What Kim Mulkey said about MiLaysia Fulwiley following transfer to LSU women's basketball
Head coach Kim Mulkey highlighted Fulwiley's creativity and athleticism as major reasons why she fits the Tigers' roster. The former Gamecock averaged 11.7 points as a sophomore, second-best on the team in 2024-25.

"[She stands out] as one of the most electrifying talents in college basketball," Mulkey said.
One of the top-ranked recruits in her class, Fulwiley made an immediate impact upon her arrival to South Carolina. She played 18.4 minutes per game with over 11 points and almost two steals per contest. Through her two seasons in Columbia, she amassed plenty of postseason experience and scoring success.
Fulwiley likely completes LSU's backcourt alongside Flau'jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams. Mulkey may expect her to pick up point guard responsibilities, but will certainly look forward to seeing what Fulwiley can do in transition alongside the returning pair of guards.

Detroit Tigers' bullpen blows lead after Jack Flaherty stars in 5-4 loss to Phillies
PHILADELPHIA — Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty has struggled in most of his starts this season, but he might be back to his dominance of last season. That's how it looked in his latest performance. Flaherty allowed just one run in six-plus innings, but the Tigers' bullpen squandered his dominance in a 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, Aug. 1, in the first of three games at Citizens Bank Park. Four relievers gave up five runs in the seventh and eighth innings. JEFF SEIDEL: New Detroit Tigers reliever Kyle Finnegan was born in Detroit, already sounds like us The Phillies took the lead on Bryson Stott's infield single, which drove in the game-winning run in the eighth inning. After that, new Phillies closer Jhoan Duran — acquired from the Minnesota Twins for two top-100 prospects at the trade deadline — slammed the door on the Tigers in the ninth inning. The Tigers (64-47) lost for the first time in five games. [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] Jack Flaherty stars in Philadelphia Flaherty allowed one run on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in six-plus innings, throwing 60 of 95 pitches for strikes. The Phillies didn't get their first hit until two outs in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old has a 4.36 ERA in 22 starts. Celebrate 125 seasons of Tigers magic! For the first hit, Edmundo Sosa connected on a two-strike slider for a long fly ball to left field. The ball bounced off the top of the wall, allowing Sosa to pull in for a double. Flaherty walked the next batter, but he stranded runners on the corners by getting Trea Turner to pop out, ending the fifth. In the sixth, he sent down three batters in a row — Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto — in his third time through the heart of the lineup. He struck out Harper with a nasty slider. Flaherty generated 15 whiffs on 44 swings for a 34.1% whiff rate: three fastballs, seven sliders, five curveballs. The velocity was up on all of his pitches, including a 1.5 mph increase on his slider. Gleyber Torres hits milestone OH, THAT BULLPEN: Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch reacts to 'a lot of options' added at trade deadline For the Phillies, left-hander Ranger Suárez shut down the Tigers for the majority of his 92-pitch performance, but he still allowed three runs on four hits and zero walks with five strikeouts across seven innings — all because of Gleyber Torres. In the third inning, Torres hit a three-run home run against Suárez's up-and-in cutter after he refused to swing at four outside pitches, working a 3-1 count. The three-ball count got him a good pitch to hit. And Torres didn't miss. It was the 150th home run of his MLB career. Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper ejected following outburst over called third strike
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was ejected in the seventh inning of Friday's game against Detroit for arguing a called third strike on a check swing. The Phillies scored three runs in the seventh to tie the game 3-all and had two runners on base with two outs when Harper faced Tigers reliever Will Vest. Harper tried to check his swing on a full-count changeup from Vest, but third base umpire Vic Carapazza rang up the Harper, who ripped his helmet off his head in a outburst and shouted as he waved his arms at Carapazza. Harper was promptly tossed and kept his helmet with him as he walked into the dugout. ___ AP MLB:
