Hundreds of athletes participate in IRONMAN 70.3 in western Mass.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – More than 1,500 athletes spent the day on Sunday braving some changes to the third annual IRONMAN Triathlon in western Massachusetts. IRONMAN 70.3 is a race made up of swimming, cycling, and running for hundreds of athletes from all over the world to get a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars for themselves and local organizations in the city. Race organizers brought it back to western Massachusetts for the third year. Holyoke hosts first Paper Festival, celebrating the city's history and culture 'The community here is incredible, so supportive,' said IRONMAN Foundation Executive Director Audra Tassone. 'It's a beautiful place and everybody is just so welcoming, and we're so excited to be back.' IRONMAN was supposed to start at 6:00 a.m., but the rain on Saturday led to the swimming portion being cancelled. The water levels in the Connecticut River were too high and were moving too fast, so as a pre-caution, the race started 40 minutes later with the cyclists from Riverfront Park. However, that didn't stop family, friends, and fans from lining up to cheer for the participants. The race went through Springfield, Agawam, Southwick, Westfield, West Springfield, and parts of Connecticut. It ended with a run through Forest Park. Some families said they were just excited to be there for the first time. 'It's just really exciting that he can do this while we're preparing to welcome our first child,' said Jenelle Janssen of Beverly. 'And it's a cool way for him to stay active while our life is about to change.' Another family traveled from Connecticut to see their loved one compete once again. 'This is my fifth IRONMAN spectating, because my wife is racing,' said Oye Oworu of Connecticut. 'We did Tremblant last year. We did this one, the inaugural one, she's been out to Utah, California, Maine.' The race ended with qualifying slots to the 2025 IRONMAN World Championship in Spain. It would be a new place for the Oworus to visit. 'We turn these things into vacation,' Oworu said. 'So it will be a vacation for me and another race for her.'

Manny Machado's homer makes the difference as Padres edge Brewers 1-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Manny Machado homered and Ryan Bergert combined with five relievers on a four-hitter as the San Diego Padres edged the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on Sunday. The victory enabled the Padres to win the series in Milwaukee before they return home to face the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time this season. Machado greeted Rob Zastryzny (1-1) by connecting on a 3-2 pitch and delivering a 425-foot drive over the wall in left-center field for his third homer in his last four games. It was the first run Zastryzny has allowed in 10 appearances this year. Yuki Matsui (1-1) earned the win after pitching two-thirds of an inning in relief of Ryan Bergert, who worked 5 1/3 innings in his second career start. Robert Suarez allowed a two-out single to Joey Ortiz before retiring Brice Turang on a pop to short to earn his MLB-leading 21st save in 23 opportunities. Milwaukee left 10 men on base over the last five innings. Neither team got a hit through the first 4½ innings as Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta and Bergert were both outstanding. Milwaukee's first hit was a one-out single by Rhys Hoskins in the fifth. The Padres broke through on Tyler Wade's leadoff single in the sixth. Key moments The Brewers had runners on the corners with one out in the fifth, but Jake Bauers struck out and Caleb Durbin grounded out to third. Milwaukee loaded the bases on three walks in the sixth before Matsui struck out Sal Frelick to end the threat. The Brewers had men on first and second with one out in the seventh, but Ortiz hit into a fielder's choice and Turang lined out. Jason Adam struck out Andruw Monasterio to strand runners on third and second in the eighth. Key stat San Diego's last seven games have been decided by a total of eight runs. Up next The Padres' series opener with the Dodgers on Monday is a matchup of right-handers, with Nick Pivetta (6-2, 3.16 ERA) pitching for San Diego and Dustin May (3-4, 4.09 ERA) starting for Los Angeles. The Brewers begin a three-game home series with Atlanta. Right-hander Aaron Civale (1-1, 5.19) pitches for the Brewers on Monday, while the Braves start left-hander Chris Sale (3-4, 2.93). ___ AP MLB:

Nuggets Can Offer Nikola Jokic Support He Needs With New NBA Trade Idea
Nuggets Can Offer Nikola Jokic Support He Needs With New NBA Trade Idea originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Nuggets managed to push the Western Conference Champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, to seven games in the NBA Playoffs. They ran out of gas in that seventh game. Advertisement It is growing more and more obvious just how much Nikola Jokic needs to be supported by a stronger cast of players around him. The Nuggets superstar is one of the best floor and ceiling raisers in the league, however, even Jokic has his limits. One member of his supporting cast that looks worse by the day is Michael Porter Jr. The Nuggets forward struggled mightily against the Thunder, averaging 7.4 points while shooting 32.2 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from 3-point. Porter Jr. is set to collect $38.3 million next season, limiting the Nuggets' ability to make improvements with him on the books. This next trade idea would alleviate Denver from those concerns. May 18, 2025; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA; Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (27) talks to Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman after a play against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second quarter during game seven of the second round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Paycom Center. Mandatory Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Mandatory Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report suggested a deal with a rebuilding team to help offload Porter Jr. The following trade idea involves linking up with the New Orleans Pelicans to reshape the supporting cast in Denver. Advertisement Nuggets receive: Trey Murphy III, Kelly Olynyk. Pelicans receive: Michael Porter Jr., Peyton Watson, a 2031 first-round pick swap, and a 2032 first-round pick. Giving up the draft capital would be a necessary maneuver to getting another team to take Porter's contract. For the rebuilding Pelicans, that would also create cap space after his deal expires following the 2026-27 season. The Nuggets get a reliable scorer beside Jokic with Murphy. The Pelicans forward averaged 21.2 points per game in 2024-25, shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from beyond the arc. Olynyk is a nice throw-in here as well. The Nuggets would get an opportunity to have a backup they can trust in the frontcourt behind Jokic with the addition.
