Milan Iloski, San Diego FC mutually terminate loan
Standout forward Milan Iloski and San Diego FC parted ways Tuesday when negotiations to reach a permanent deal broke down.
Iloski and the club mutually terminated his loan and he will return to Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
Iloski was second on San Diego with 10 goals despite playing just 471 minutes.
'We worked diligently to make it long-term and we couldn't come to an agreement,' San Diego coach Mikey Varas said during Tuesday's media availability. 'Our focus is on the guys in the locker room. We wish him the best.'
Iloski, 25, had eight goals over his past five appearances, including an epic four-goal game against the host Vancouver Whitecaps on June 25.
'We want to thank Milan for his time and contributions to San Diego FC,' San Diego sporting director Tyler Heaps said in a news release. 'He played an important role in our early history, and we respect his desire to return to FC Nordsjaelland and his decision to pursue other opportunities at this time. We wish him the best in this next stage of his career.'
San Diego leads the Western Conference with 42 points and still features one of MLS' better one-two punches in All-Star forwards Anders Dreyer and Chucky Lozano. Dreyer has 11 goals and a league-best 15 assists while Lozano has six goals and eight assists.
San Diego hosts Toronto FC on Wednesday.

Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the NL East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third, but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning, on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole followed by an epic bat flip. Key moments Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. Key stat Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. It was the Padres' fifth walk-off win this season. Up next Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter. ___ AP MLB:

Twins top Red Sox 5-4 on 2-run single in 9th by Brooks Lee after 90-minute rain delay
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brooks Lee hit a two-run single off Jordan Hicks in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Minnesota Twins a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox after a 90-minute rain delay Monday night. After Roman Anthony put Boston in front with an RBI single off Twins closer Jhoan Duran (6-4) in the top of the ninth, the grounds crew hustled out the tarp to beat a downpour. Hicks (1-7), who had warmed up before the delay, allowed a single to DaShawn Keirsey Jr. and hit Mickey Gasper and Willi Castro with consecutive pitches. With one out, Lee delivered his third walk-off hit this season with a slap the other way with a few hundred fans standing in front of soaked seats. Alex Bregman homered for the second straight game, a three-run shot off Simeon Woods Richardson in the fifth that put Boston up 3-2 after another unfulfilling start by Richard Fitts. Fitts allowed a two-run homer to Keirsey after walking Christian Vázquez to start the third. Keirsey, making his first start in 29 games with All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton ( ribcage irritation ) sidelined, is 9 for 75 this season. Vázquez has been batting under .200 for six weeks. The Red Sox, who are in the market for starting pitching with Hunter Dobbins done for the season, were thin in the bullpen with closer Aroldis Chapman unavailable (back tightness) and another reliever, Garrett Whitlock, ailing after a turbulent flight to Minnesota required a pit stop during stormy weather. The Twins traded starting pitcher Chris Paddack to division-leading Detroit before the game. Key moment Fitts skirted bases-loaded trouble with none out in the fourth, striking out Ty France and getting Vázquez to ground into a double play. Key stat Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Anthony, who has taken over the leadoff spot for good, had two hits and two walks. Up next Lucas Giolito (6-2, 3.97 ERA) starts for Boston on Tuesday, when Paddack was scheduled to pitch. Minnesota will staff it with the bullpen instead. ___ AP MLB:
