Henry homers, Canaries fall to Milwaukee
FRANKLIN, WI (CANARIES) — Jabari Henry moved within one homerun of tying Reggie Abercrombie for the all-time American Association record as the Canaries fell to Milwaukee 9-4 on Friday.
Henry smacked a two-run shot in the top of the first inning, his 145th career longball. Trevor Achenbach led off the top of the second with a double and later scored on a fielder's choice but Milwaukee responded with nine unanswered runs over the next three innings and never looked back.
The Canaries scored a run in the top of the eighth when Scott Combs drove in Mike Hart with a sacrifice groundout.
Five different Canaries recorded a hit while Zach Veen and Will Levine each struck out one during a scoreless relief inning. The Birds are now 6-7 and return to action Saturday at 6:00pm.

Athletics fan confronted by security for wearing 'SELL' t-shirt caught on live broadcast
They simply go by the Athletics now, as the team formerly stationed in Oakland will soon plant their roots in Las Vegas. For now, the team plays their games at Sutter Health Park, a minor league field in Sacramento, while the transition to Las Vegas continues to run its course. As a result, there is a large portion of the team's fanbase that remains disgruntled at ownership for moving to Sin City instead of continuing to play in Oakland. Well, one fan decided to make his presence known during the team's pregame show on Thursday ahead of the match-up with the Minnesota Twins. He wore a t-shirt that read, "SELL." While the pregame show was going on, that fan was quickly confronted by a Sutter Health Park security guard, and more team and field officials quickly followed suit. The whole thing was captured on the live broadcast. Joe Horton identified himself on social media as the man in question, and he noted that security allowed him to remain in his seat for the game after speaking with them. He told Awful Announcing, who posted the pregame clips on X, that this was "not my first rodeo." "When they show up I think the whole time – you know this too is on TV right?" Horton replied on X. Horton even had some fun on X posting a screenshot of himself in the background of the pregame show desk surrounded by security and white-polo-wearing officials. "Look how many friends I made today," he captioned the screenshot. Fans like Horton remain ticked off by A's owner John Fisher, who is leading the move to Las Vegas. Similar t-shirts, signs, and flags were seen at the Oakland Coliseum last season when the team's home games started to dwindle as the schedule came to a close. The Athletics will be playing in Sacramento for at least the next couple of seasons, as the team's new ballpark in Las Vegas won't be ready until 2028 at the earliest. So, fans like Horton continue to voice their opinion on Fisher's moves, and it's clear a good portion of the fan base wishes him out of baseball. He doesn't seem inclined to do so. The Athletics remain a very young team with some budding talent, including Brent Rooker, Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson and Lawrence Butler, among others. They are 24-40 entering Thursday, which is last in the AL West division. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Dean Cain says men shouldn't compete in women's sports; releases heartwarming film on girls' soccer team
Friday marks the nationwide release of family-friendly sports film "Little Angels", a triumphant story of a team of athletes and an unyielding coach, written, directed and produced by actor Dean Cain. "Little Angels" unfolds the story of Jake Rogers, a Division I college football coach, played by Cain, with $5 million and a take-it-or-leave-it chance for redemption on the line. A male-centric statement hurdles the lead into a reflective arc and, when writing the script, the red-card comment "soccer is for girls," was definitive, according to Cain. "It's always a joke I make," Cain told Fox News Digital. "Soccer is the world's game and I make fun of soccer because I played as an American football player and that's just what we do. We make fun of soccer. We make fun of rugby." In 1988, after his collegiate football career at Princeton, Cain was signed to the Buffalo Bills as a rookie. His professional NFL career came to a halt when he injured his knee. While the on-air declaration that soccer is for girls kicks off Rogers' journey to softening in "Little Angels", the topic of men in women's sports is not a cornerstone of the film. However, Cain is firm in his position that, after a certain age, boys and girls should not compete together. "I'm a huge, huge supporter of women's athletics," Cain told Fox News Digital. "I don't think men or boys have any business once they're past the age of 7 or 10 competing together." "When you get to those higher levels, I don't think that men should be competing with women, period, end of story," Cain said. "Many of my ex-girlfriends have been professional athletes, and I really have tremendous respect for women's sports. I think it's hugely important to have women be able to compete against women and do that." The benchmark theme of "Little Angels" is purpose and perspective and reserves the plot for a heartwarming tale of teamwork and family. "There's a lot of me in that character," Cain said of Rogers. Despite public perception, Rogers cannot be defended from his offside remark about female athletes. "College football coaches get looked at sometimes like they're a deity of something, like they're a God of some kind," Cain said. Rogers is met with an ultimatum: coach a team of 12-year-old girls or lose $5 million. Films like "A League of Their Own," "The Mighty Ducks" and even the true underdog story of "Dodgeball" echo a similar sentiment and evoke childhood memories across generations. The timeless tale in each of these movies follows a team of misfits bonded together by both their love of the game and a defeated coach who finds inspiration through group aspirations. This narrative conjures wistful affection in a way that other genres outside sports dramas cannot. "Take a guy who is flawed in a situation where he doesn't want to be," Cain said. "Through human experience and being with these young ladies and other people, he teaches them teamwork and the value of team and family." The movie, starring Lou Ferrigno, Bryan Callen and Swedish actress Helena Mattson, began casting during the COVID-19 pandemic. "You hope that you get them together and they have chemistry," he said of the athletes. "They are the heart of the story." "The young actresses were phenomenal," Cain said of a cast including Alex Jayne Go and "Role Models" actress Alexandra Stamler. Cain's niece and goddaughter also star in the film as athletes. "I've been called Superman forever and that's great. I love it," Cain said. "If people call me Coach Jake after this, 'Hey Coach Jake,' that's a warm fuzzy for me. It's a big-time warm and fuzzy." Cain is working on four films this year, including a golf-centered movie that he is co-directing with his son. The world premiere of "Little Angels" was featured at the International Christian Film Festival (ICFF) in May. There, Cain was awarded with the ICFF Lifetime Achievement Award, though he feels he is just getting started. "Little Angels" hits theaters nationwide on Friday, June 6, 2025.

Braves Seek To Aid Battered Bullpen By Promoting Kimbrel
During his first stint with the Braves, Craig Kimbrel had many happy moments on the mound. (Photo ... More by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) Once in a blue moon, an established star whose best days are behind him agrees to play in the minor leagues with the hope of a last hurrah in the majors. That is the case with Craig Kimbrel, National League Rookie of the Year with the Atlanta Braves in 2011 and owner of 440 career saves, fifth on the lifetime list. At age 37, Kimbrel had no takers when he tried free agency last fall until his old team agreed to give him one last try. Now that Atlanta's bullpen is in desperate straits, Kimbrel got called up Thursday – almost immediately after struggling closer Raisel Iglesias yielded ninth-running runs to suffer his fifth loss of the season. Those runs capped a seven-run, ninth-inning uprising that turned a 10-4 laugher into an 11-10 setback. Kimbrel, once referred to as a right-handed version of 2025 Hall of Fame electee Billy Wagner, is a compact pitcher known for his big wingspan. When he peers at the catcher for his sign, he resembles a human DeLorean. Poised to pounce, Craig Kimbrel resembles a human DeLorean in his trademark mound presence while ... More peering in for a sign. (Photo by) At 37, he doesn't have the velocity of his youth but he does have the determination. At Triple-A Gwinnett, Atlanta's top farm club, he carved a 2.00 earned run average over 18 innings after starting with no spring training. Should manager Brian Snitker decide to deploy Kimbrel as closer, the veteran right-hander could inch toward 500 saves and a virtually certain ticket to Cooperstown, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He'll just need to be more stingy with walks and home runs than he was before. Last year, he had a strong first half with the Baltimore Orioles but was beat up so badly in the second that the Birds released him after signing him as a free agent. A nine-time All-Star, Kimbrel began his career by beating Freddie Freeman in the race for NL Rookie of the Year. That was the first of his five 40-save seasons, including 50 in 2013, when he finished fourth in the voting for the National League's Cy Young Award. In his first five seasons, all with the Braves, he had a 1.43 ERA. In his 15-year career, which also includes stops in San Diego, Boston, Baltimore, Chicago (Cubs and White Sox) plus Philadelphia, he has averaged 14.1 strikeouts per nine innings. At the same time, he's allowed nearly four walks per nine frames pitched. Craig Kimbrel has been an All-Star nine times. Even without his erstwhile power-pitching ability, Kimbrel hopes to compensate with experience. He certainly can't do much worse than Iglesias, who begins this weekend with an ERA of 6.75 and seven home runs allowed – after giving up four in all of 2024. In addition to the Iglesias issue, Atlanta has lost a myriad of one-run games because fellow relievers Rafael Montero, Scott Blewett, Dylan Lee, and Daysbel Hernandez have been erratic at best. The Braves start a series in San Francisco tonight mired in fourth place in the National League East with a 27-34 record, 11 games behind the high-flying New York Mets, their arch-rival. Atlanta has been victimized by a struggling offense – even after the return of former league MVP Ronald Acuna, Jr. just weeks ago. When the Braves break through with an offensive burst, as they did in their three-homer game Thursday, their bullpen blows the lead. When they get great pitching, such as the one-run, 10-strikeout effort by Chris Sale Wednesday, they don't generate enough support. Even with AJ Smith-Shawver sidelined with elbow issues, Reynaldo Lopez also likely out for the season, and Spencer Strider still rusty after recovering from his own, the rotation of Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, Grant Holmes, and Bryce Elder has been respectable. In the bullpen, however, health has not been the issue. Performance has. Enter Kimbrel, albeit without his old 98 mph fastball. He did fan 33 per cent of rival hitters at Gwinnett but they were not major-leaguers. He and lefty Dylan Lee were promoted from Triple-A for the West Coast trip with the walk-prone Hernandez (numbness in his finger) sent to the injured list. Kimbrel will be paid a pro-rated version of $2 million, the amount to which he agreed if his minor-league work merited promotion to the majors. His peak previous salary was $16,000,000 with the Chicago Cubs and White Sox from 2020-22. 'We're going to mix and match, and guys are going to get a lot more opportunities,' Snitker said of his bullpen after the Thursday fiasco in Atlanta. 'We're going to have to make it work, because it's what we got.' The Braves went 1-5 on their just-completed homestand against two other struggling clubs, the Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks. The bullpen was a bigger culprit than the offense. In fact, the pen's performance was offensive to Atlanta fans who booed their team off the field after the ninth inning at Truist Park Thursday. The Braves had entered this season as favorites to win the NL East title and reach the playoffs for their seventh consecutive seasons. No team has done that after opening a season with seven straight losses, however. Atlanta went 0-7 on its opening road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles.
