Dylan Cease outduels Brayan Bello to lead Padres past Red Sox
August 10 - Dylan Cease took a shutout into the seventh inning Sunday, while Luis Arraez delivered a two-run double to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-2 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox. In winning consecutive starts for the first time this year, Cease (5-10) permitted just four hits and two runs, walking two and striking out seven. It marked the first time since July 18 that Cease had pitched past the fifth inning. Brayan Bello (8-6) absorbed the loss as he allowed five runs off six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings, whiffing seven. All the runs came with two outs, including the pair Arraez knocked in to initiate scoring in the bottom of the third. Bello was an out from facing the minimum through three innings when Freddy Fermin lined a two-out single into center. After Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a pitch, Arraez drilled a pitch to left-center, just out of the reach of center fielder Jarren Duran, to score both runners. Tatis made it 3-0 in the fifth by grounding an RBI single to left, just out of the reach of diving shortstop Trevor Story. It scored Jake Cronenworth, who blooped a one-out double down the left field line. Xander Bogaerts upped the margin to 4-0 in the sixth by looping a run-scoring single to left to plate Manny Machado, who singled with one out and then stole second with two outs. Bello and reliever Chris Murphy combined to issue three straight walks, with Cronenworth cashing in Bogaerts on his free pass. Boston scored its runs in the seventh after loading the bases with no outs. Romy Gonzalez's potential double-play grounder was booted by Bogaerts to make it 5-2. The Red Sox re-filled the sacks with no outs, but relievers Jason Adam and Adrian Morejon combined to strike out the side. Ryan O'Hearn capped the Padres' scoring in the seventh with a sacrifice fly that chased home Tatis. Arraez, Tatis and Fermin each collected two hits. Tatis reached base four times. --Field Level Media

Morice Norris gives Lions teammates major surprise just two days after being hospitalized in Atlanta
Morice Norris joined his Detroit Lions teammates at the club's practice facility on Sunday just days after being hospitalized in Atlanta following a frightening collision in the preseason opener. Norris' presence at the Meer Performance Center in Allen Park, Michigan is being reported by The Associated Press. Team spokespeople did not immediately respond to Daily Mail's request for confirmation. A day earlier, Norris spoke out for the first time since being stretchered off the field in Atlanta. 'Amen Amen,' he wrote on Instagram. 'I'm all good man. Don't stress it. Appreciate all the check ins and love.' He was said to be in stable condition after being rushed to the hospital on Friday night. Lions coach Dan Campbell told reporters at the time that Norris was breathing and had movement in his extremities. That news came as a tremendous relief to anyone who saw the 24-year-old laying motionless on the turf after taking an inadvertent knee to the helmet as he tried to tackle the Falcons' Nathan Carter. Players responded to the frightening scene in two ways. First, members of both the Falcons and Lions joined together at midfield to pray for their injured colleague. And when the game resumed, Atlanta quarterback Emory Jones simply held the ball as players from both teams stood still, allowing the clock to run down to 6:31. At that point, an official announced the preseason game had been suspended by the league offices in New York with the Lions leading 17-10. Fans were clearly touched by the gestures, which seemed to have a major impact online. 'Absolute masterclass in sportsmanship by the Falcons and Lions,' one fan wrote online. '50 players trying to make an NFL roster and they rally around their fallen brother in arms and run out the clock. 'Big prayers up to Morice Norris.' 'This is genuinely the classiest thing I've ever seen during a football game,' read a post from The Detroit Times. 'Both teams agreeing to run out the clock completely out of respect for Morice Norris.' 'I'm crying,' another fan added. 'The players are letting the clock run out and standing together praying for Morice Norris. This is unbelievably powerful.' Others called the scene a 'powerful moment of Humanity' while a few simply expressed their 'respect' for both sides. The last NFL game to be suspended due to a player injury was in January of 2023, when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after trying to make a tackle on Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin was revived on the field and has since made his return to the NFL. The game was never finished, although both teams still reached the postseason anyway. After an impressive college career at Fresno State, Norris went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft but still managed to catch on with the Lions' practice squad after failing to make the team out of training camp.
