Cincinnati Reds survive 2nd straight 'bullpen game' to beat Cubs; now cross fingers
CHICAGO – Another day, another five relievers used by the Cincinnati Reds. Thanks a lot, NASCAR. And Rob Manfred. And Mother Nature. The Reds' taxed bullpen earned a high-leverage 3-2 victory over the wild-card-leading Chicago Cubs in the opener of a big three-game series. But the privilege of playing in MLB's Speedway Classic marketing gimmick-turned-weather crapshow over the weekend conspired with starter Nick Lodolo's finger blister Monday to require 15 1/3 innings of work from relievers over a two-day period. That's not optimal for a team that opened the week four games out of playoff position with 50 to play and realistic hopes of making a run after adding three players at the trade deadline. Nick Lodolo injury for Cincinnati Reds Lodolo left the mound with two out in the second inning after retiring the first five batters he faced and throwing a first-pitch strike to Justin Turner. Lodolo has been the staff workhorse this season, leading the Reds' staff in innings pitched with a career-high 129 2/3. The abbreviated start came just two nights after power-pitching rookie Chase Burns took the mound in the rain in Bristol, Tennessee, and struck out two in a 1-2-3 inning before the game was stopped and suspended into the next day, when the Reds lost to the Braves 4-2. That's back-to-back "perfect" outings for Reds starters with nothing more than a split and without the chance to provide more than 2 2/3 combined innings. Cincinnati Reds beat Chicago Cubs The Reds led 1-0 when Lodolo departed. Nick Martinez took over and got Turner on a fly to right with his first pitch. But Ian Happ's sharp single leading off the third was followed by a Dansby Swanson two-run, go-ahead homer. The Reds tied it on Elly De La Cruz's run-scoring double in the sixth, Matt McLain scoring from first. And they took the lead in the seventh on a two-out rally, with Jake Fraley scoring from third on TJ Friedl's single parachuted to right-center. The Reds aren't the only team in the series dealing with unexpected bullpen stress after Monday night. Cubs starter Michael Soroka, acquired from the Nationals at last week's trade deadline, lasted just two innings before "shoulder discomfort" forced him from the game.

Thomas Partey: Ex-Arsenal player charged with rape to appear in court today
Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is due to appear in court today, charged with raping two women. The 32-year-old, who was charged four days after leaving the north London club when his contract expired back in June, faces five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, the Crown Prosecution Service has said. The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022. The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022. Partey's lawyer Jenny Wiltshire has previously said the Ghanaian "denies all the charges against him" - and looks forward to the chance to "finally clear his name". Read more from Sky News:Permission granted for UK rocket launch Partey joined Arsenal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in 2020 and became a regular for manager Mikel Arteta, who last month said he was "100% sure" the club followed the correct protocols. An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: "The player's contract ended on 30 June. Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the club is unable to comment on the case." Partey made 35 appearances for the Gunners last season, scoring four goals. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

📹 Call me up now! Neymar sends message to Ancelotti: I'm available
After scoring two goals in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude on Monday (4th), Neymar spoke about a possible return to the Brazilian National Team. After all, members of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff were present at MorumBIS to follow Neymar's recovery, as he played five consecutive games, something that hadn't happened since 2022. "Happy to score two goals, to win again, which is the most important thing, and I think it's only going to get better for our team. Obviously, we made many mistakes today that we can't make, but we need to work to improve every day." "Everyone knows my football. I'm available. Regardless of anything, I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it's up to them." Since October 2023, when he suffered a severe left knee injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him from the field for a year, Neymar hasn't played for the Brazilian National Team. In 17 games in the 2025 season for Santos, Neymar has six goals and three assists. Brazil concludes its participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in September, with matches against Chile on the 4th at Maracanã, and against Bolivia on the 9th, away from home. In third place with 25 points, the Brazilian National Team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as they can no longer be caught by Venezuela, which is in seventh place with 18 points.
