Brewers hit 3 HRs in 8-4 win over Cubs, take top spot in NL Central

Washington Post11 hours ago
MILWAUKEE — Andrew Vaughn, Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich homered and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a shaky start from All-Star Jacob Misiorowski to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Monday night and take sole possession of first place in the NL Central.
After allowing a bloop single and walk to begin the game, Misiorowski took a line shot off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to his left knee. The 23-year-old rookie struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong but threw a wild pitch in the process, allowing a run to score. Then, after fielding a dribbler in front of the mound, Misiorowski threw wildly to first as two runners scored.

MLB Insider Reports Rangers Will Be Active At MLB Trade Deadline

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Texas Rangers have stormed back into the playoff race after a tough start to the season that looked to be lost, and are now entering trade season with a chance to make a push. One MLB insider believes Texas will get bold before Thursday's MLB trade deadline. "They're going to be looking for a right-handed hitter, and perhaps more importantly, high-leverage relievers," Ken Rosenthal said on "Fair Territory". ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington,... ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More Photo byThe Rangers enter Tuesday a half-game back of the Boston Red Sox for the final wild-card spot in the American League and just 4 games back of the Houston Astros for the AL West. While the Astros have 18 players on the injured list, the Rangers are getting ready to make a run at the division title. Rosenthal notes that the Rangers are going to be in the market for high-leverage relievers. While the Rangers have the third-best bullpen ERA this season, they have blown the fifth-most saves as a group. Just about every contender is in the market for bullpen help, but there are some quality options on the market this year. The Rangers should be calling the St. Louis Cardinals about Ryan Helsley and the Minnesota Twins about Jhoan Duran as the deadline inches closer to give them the arm that they need to secure games and reach the postseason. Rosenthal also mentions that they should be in the market for a right-handed bat, and while the market is thin on power hitting, the Rangers could find a serviceable bat to add to their lineup for the final stretch. The Rangers should be handling the needs of their bullpen before making any changes to their offense.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio honors his favorite Phillie and Hall of Famer Dick Allen

Before waxing coach talk about his players Tuesday at training camp, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio opened his press conference unveiling a prized recent gift: a Philadelphia Phillies No. 15 Dick Allen jersey. "The guys, I asked them to get me this for me," Fangio said. "And they came through. My all-time favorite Phillie right there. He was their best player when I was young, and he was obviously a great player." Allen was posthumously inducted Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame after a far-too-long push by his former teammates, family and friends. The former Phillies and White Sox slugger was called to the Hall in December by the Classic Baseball Era committee. The Phillies retired Allen's No. 15 in 2020, months before he died at the age of 78. Allen was the first Black superstar to play for the Phillies, who were one of the last MLB teams pre-expansion to integrate. Last season, the Phils unveiled a "Pioneers in Pinstripes" display at Citizens Bank Park honoring Allen, John Irving Kennedy — the first Black player to play for the franchise — and other trailblazers in the organization's integration history. Allen finished his MLB career with 351 home runs and a .912 OPS in 15 seasons. He won the NL Rookie of the Year in 1964 with the Phillies. After facing racism for years in Philadelphia, Allen demanded a trade in 1970 and was moved to the St. Louis Cardinals. He spent a year with the Cardinals, then was traded to the Dodgers in 1971 and then to the White Sox in 1972, where he won the AL MVP. He finished his career with a 58.8 bWAR in an era largely defined by pitching dominance. "Dick was a sensitive Black man who refused to be treated as a second-class citizen," Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt, Allen's former teammate in Philadelphia, said during the 2020 ceremony. "He played in front of home fans that were products of that racist era (with) racist teammates and different rules for Whites and Blacks. Fans threw stuff at him, and thus Dick wore a batting helmet throughout the whole game. "They yelled degrading racial slurs," Schmidt added. "They dumped trash in his front yard at his home. In general, he was tormented and it came from all directions. And Dick rebelled." Fangio doesn't shy away from his Philadelphia sports fandom. The Dunmore, Pennsylvania, native is a die-hard Phillies fan — he wore a Phillies hat during his first press conference of training camp last week. In 2017, Fangio told The Athletic that he doesn't "sleep at night until I know whether the Phillies won or lost. Even if they're on the West Coast." On Tuesday, Fangio recalled playing 18 rounds of golf with Hall of Fame pitcher Rich "Goose" Gossage a couple of years ago. Gossage was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008. During his Cooperstown speech, Gossage said Allen was the "greatest player I ever played with." While golfing with Fangio, Gossage, who played with Allen with the White Sox, echoed that sentiment to the Birds' D-coordinator. "We played 18 holes. We rode the same cart, and obviously, I talked baseball with him," Fangio said. "Said [Allen] was the best teammate he had ever had."
