Greene pitches the Reds to a 2-0 win over Webb and the Giants, ending their 7-game win streak

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunter Greene came within one out of a complete game, outlasting Logan Webb in an old-fashioned pitchers' duel between All-Star starters, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Monday night to stop their seven-game winning streak.
Blake Dunn hit a two-run double off reliever Erik Miller in the eighth inning, and Tony Santillan shut the door in the ninth for Cincinnati.
Greene (1-1) gave up four hits, struck out seven and walked one. He retired the first two batters in the ninth, but then Jung Hoo Lee singled and Matt Chapman walked.
The 25-year-old Greene was pulled after 104 pitches, and Santillan fell behind 3-1 in the count to Heliot Ramos before he lined out to left field, ending a game that took only 2 hours, 9 minutes.
It was the fifth career save for Santillan. The other four came in 2022.
Greene's only complete game came during his rookie season in 2022 when he threw a seven-inning shutout against Arizona in a rain-shortened game.
Webb struck out 10 and allowed four hits without a walk in seven scoreless innings.
Camilo Doval (1-1) took over in the eighth and walked his first batter before hitting another with a pitch. After Jose Trevino sacrificed, Miller entered and walked TJ Friedl to load the bases.
Dunn's sharp double down the right-field line was the only hit in the inning.

Yankees Could Poach 'Obvious Fit' Alex Bregman from Red Sox: Report

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 New York Yankees tried to solve their third base woes by trading for Ryan McMahon. However, he is hitting just .245 with the team and may not be part of the team's long-term plans. The Boston Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million deal last offseason, but he figures to opt out after the year. He will be one of the hottest names on the market, and MLB insider Jim Bowden tabbed the Yankees as an "obvious fit." Bregman found his All-Star form again with the Red Sox. He is slashing .299/.379/.542 through 76 games. He has set himself up for a massive payday this offseason. HOUSTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 11: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox waves to the crowd during the pregame ceremony before the game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on August 11, 2025... HOUSTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 11: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox waves to the crowd during the pregame ceremony before the game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on August 11, 2025 in Houston, Texas. MoreHe bet on himself by taking a short-term deal with opt-outs, and now he may be one of the most coveted free agents. Even if he wants to stay with the Red Sox, he will have plenty of other teams trying to get him. "It appears Boston would be his first choice in free agency, but he is an obvious fit with several other contending teams including the (Philadelphia) Phillies, (New York) Yankees, (Detroit) Tigers, (Los Angeles) Dodgers, (Seattle) Mariners and even the (New York) Mets," wrote Bowden. Bregman is a three-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger, Gold Glover and World Series champion. He has also been praised as a leader in the Red Sox clubhouse. The Yankees could trade McMahon after just a couple of months on the team and make Bregman their third baseman for years to come.

Liverpool signs teenage Italian defender Giovanni Leoni

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool's offseason spending passed 300 million pounds ($400 million) after completing the signing of 18-year-old Parma defender Giovanni Leoni on Friday. The Italy Under-19 international was contracted for six years for 26 million pounds plus add-ons. He was to be at Anfield for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday night. Leoni previously played for Padova and Sampdoria. He joined Parma a year ago and impressed. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were the established center backs, and Leoni will vie with Joe Gomez to challenge them. 'Because it's one of the best clubs in the world it's not possible to say no to this club,' Leoni told 'I'm so honored. I was very happy (about Liverpool being interested). When I saw this I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.'' Liverpool also remained interested in Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi, although discussions have stalled over a fee for a player in the final year of his contract. Despite signing eight new players, Liverpool has recouped almost 200 million pounds in sales following the departures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoihmhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips.

Florida legend Tim Tebow included on AP's 100th anniversary all-time All-America Team

The Associated Press recently announced its All-Time All-America teams amidst the organization's 100th anniversary, bestowing one of the most prestigious honors in college football among a very select few. It should come as no surprise that Florida Gators legend Tim Tebow made the cut, but even the Orange and Blue faithful might be mildly surprised by which roster he landed in. According to the AP's latest lineup, the storied collegiate quarterback earned the First-Team spot under center, joining a star-studded group of historic greats. "Florida's Tim Tebow edged Texas' Vince Young (2005) for all-time first-team quarterback. Tebow won the Heisman and made the AP All-America team as a sophomore in 2007, his first year as the starter," AP writer Eric Olson offers. "He led the Gators to their second national championship in three years in 2008 and narrowly missed a chance at another when the 2009 team started 13-0 but lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game. He remains the SEC career leader in rushing touchdowns and touchdowns responsible for." First team by conference *Based on players' school affiliations at the time they were in college About the AP All-Time All-America team "Of the 25 players on the first team, five won the Heisman Trophy and 21 are in the College Football Hall of Fame, two are nominated for induction in 2026 and two are not eligible because they are not yet 10 years removed from their college careers," the article states. "A panel of 12 AP sports writers who cover college football selected the all-time team. It won't be, and shouldn't be, considered definitive. There have been far more great players over the last century than spots available. "For a player to qualify, he must have been an AP first-team All-American at least once. His professional career, if any, was not to be considered. Also, a member of the all-time team could only be listed on the side of the ball where he was named first-team All-America. All-purpose players could come from any position. "Voters were cautioned against recency bias, but it is notable that only three of the first-team selections played before 1970. Of the 12 players who were three-time All-Americans, only four made the two all-time teams picked by AP."
