Josh Jung's 10th-inning walk-off HR lifts Rangers over Yankees
After New York did not score in the top of the 10th, Yankees reliever Jake Bird (4-2) retired the first two batters he faced before Jung rocketed his homer into the left field stands. Danny Coulombe (2-0) worked through a two-out walk in the 10th to earn the win.
The Rangers' Joc Pederson ripped a one-out pinch-hit solo homer in the ninth inning off Devin Williams that tied the game at 5-5 and sent it to extra innings.
Paul Goldschmidt had three hits and scored three runs to lead the Yankees' attack. New York has dropped four straight games.
Goldschmidt opened the game with a solo homer to left field off Rangers starter Patrick Corbin.
New York added to its lead with a pair of runs in the second. Amed Rosario's RBI single drove in Austin Wells, who had singled to lead off the frame and moved to third on a double by Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt then trotted home on a single by Cody Bellinger.
The Rangers responded in the bottom of the frame. Wyatt Langford started the rally with a one-out double and Jung followed with a walk. Josh Smith drove in Langford with a single before Jonah Heim's infield single loaded the bases. Ezequiel Duran plated Jung and Smith with a single to left field that tied the game. Heim then scored on an errant pickoff throw to second base by Yankees starter Max Fried that gave Texas a 4-3 lead.
Giancarlo Stanton put the Yankees back on top in the fourth on a line drive home run over the center field fence that allowed Goldschmidt, who had reached on a single, to score ahead of him.
Jon Gray took over for Corbin in the fourth and pitched five innings while throwing 66 pitches -- both were season highs.
New York ace Fried allowed four runs and scattered eight hits while walking three and striking out seven in five innings. He was followed to the mound by Luke Weaver, Camilo Doval and David Bednar, all of whom pitched a scoreless inning.

Reds place LHP Nick Lodolo (finger) on 15-day IL
August 5 - The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a blister on his left index finger. Lodolo left the series opener against the Chicago Cubs on Monday after just 1 2/3 innings. Five relievers went the rest of the way for the Reds, who won 3-2 and sit three games out of the National League's third and final wild-card berth entering Tuesday. Lodolo, 27, is 8-6 with a 3.05 ERA in 23 appearances (all starts) this season. A first-round draft pick (seventh overall) by Cincinnati in 2019, Lodolo is 23-20 with a 4.02 ERA in 70 career appearances (all starts) with the team. Also on Tuesday, the Reds recalled right-hander Yosver Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville. Zulueta, 27, has a 3.86 ERA without a decision in two relief appearances this season with Cincinnati. He allowed one run on no hits over 2 1/3 innings. He made 12 appearances in 2024, his first major league season, pitching 16 1/3 innings and giving up nine earned runs with 20 strikeouts and seven walks. He has yet to register a decision in the majors. --Field Level Media

Rory McIlroy sparks concern among fellow players by skipping the first leg of PGA Tour playoffs
's latest absence from the PGA Tour isn't a surprise, but it is worrying to rivals fighting to legitimize the FedEx Cup playoffs. The five-time major winner is skipping this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind, where he will be the only eligible player not participating in a tournament named for its top sponsor. Asked about the world's No. 2 opting out of one of the playoffs' three legs, rival golfer and PGA Tour Policy Board player director Peter Malnati told Golf Week he was 'very concerned.' Unfortunately for Malnati, there's not much the tour can do to stop McIlroy from skipping a third event this season. With 3,444 points in the FedEx Cup standings, second only to Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy has a comfortable 849-point cushion over third-place Sepp Straka. And since the current FedEx Cup format features a progressive cut, McIlroy can count on advancing to next week's BMW Championship in Owings Mills, Maryland. From there, provided he remains in the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, McIlroy would advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. McIlroy actually played in the St. Jude Championship last year, finishing at the bottom of the filed without much of a penalty. 'I mean, I finished basically dead last there this year, and only moved down one spot in the playoff standings,' he told reporters in 2024. McIlroy has already earned $10 million this year thanks to a Masters win and other successes. But the loophole that allowed him to skate by to the second leg of the postseason could be up for review. 'I think there is stuff in the works and I'll leave it at that,' Malnati told Golfweek. Tour Policy Board member Webb Simpson didn't so quite so optimistic. 'I think it's too hard of a thing to make guys have to play,' Simpson told Golfweek. 'We're still a sport where you can play when you want to play.' The FedEx St. Jude Championship starts Thursday with $20 million in prize money at stake.
