Steelers CB Darius Slay injured at training camp practice
On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers starting cornerback Jalen Ramsey missed team drills at training camp practice. Ramsey has been out the past week. This might not have seemed like a huge problem but also on Monday, cornerback Darius Slay went down with an ankle injury at practice. Not official word from the team about the severity of the injury but with Slay sidelined, it just gives more opportunities for players like Cameron McCutchen, Kyler McMichael and Daryl Porter. The Steelers currently have a heck of a positional battle going for the bottom of the cornerback depth chart. The absence of players like Ramsey and Slay makes for even more interesting matchups as the team prepares to wrap up training camp practice. The Steelers now turn their attention to joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before their preseason game in Pittsburgh this weekend. There's been no word yet from head coach Mike Tomlin about which starters will play in this important midway game.

Burger hits RBI single in 10th as Rangers end 4-game skid with win over Diamondbacks
ARLINGTON, Texas — Jake Burger hit a pinch-hit RBI single in the 10th inning and the Texas Rangers ended their four-game losing streak with a 7-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Burger lined a 99.4 mph pitch from Andrew Saalfrank (0-1) off the left-field wall to end the game. Sam Haggerty, the automatic runner who had advanced to third on Marcus Semien's flyout, scored the winning run. Rowdy Tellez had tied the game when he homered leading off the bottom of the ninth. Phil Maton (2-3), who earned his first win with Texas as the fifth reliever after starter Nathan Eovaldi struggled, retired all three batters he faced in the 10th. The Rangers overcame a 5-0 deficit after Arizona hit three off its four homers off Eovaldi, who had gone 6-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his previous six starts since the beginning of July. The veteran right-hander ended up with a no-decision after allowing season highs of five runs and eight hits over five innings. Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo both hit two-run homers in the third, an inning after rookie first baseman Tyler Locklear's solo shot. Blaze Alexander homered in the sixth and Arizona, which had won its last three games, led 6-1. Dbacks starter Ryne Nelson struck out six without a walk over his 5 1/3 innings. He exited after Wyatt Langford's three-run homer got the Rangers within 6-5. Corey Seager had an RBI double in the Texas third, then drove in another run with a single before scoring on Langford's 16th homer. The 13th homer this season for Tellez, who has two in 16 games since joining the Rangers about three weeks ago. The Rangers are 7-5 in extra innings, 5-3 at home. Arizona dropped to 4-9. Rangers rookie Jack Leiter (7-6, 4.05 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Tuesday night. Anthony DeSclafani (1-2, 4.20) goes for the Diamondbacks. ___ AP MLB:
