Cronenworth's walk-off single in the 10th lifts the Padres to a 3-2 win over the Rangers
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Cronenworth singled to right field with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th inning to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday.
Cronenworth's single off Robert Garcia (1-4) brought in automatic runner Jackson Merrill. Cronenworth raised his right index finger as he rounded first base and was mobbed by teammates near second after his fifth career walk-off hit.
Manny Machado was intentionally walked to open the inning and Luis Arraez struck out. Gavin Sheets singled to center to load the bases. Xander Bogaerts injured himself swinging at the first pitch of his at-bat, was checked by an athletic trainer and left the game. Bryce Johnson replaced him and struck out.
The Rangers went to extra innings for the sixth time in nine games, losing four of them.
Machado had two hits to reach 1,997 in his career, including a 440-foot solo home run to straightaway center field in the fourth to pull the Padres to 2-1. Machado, elected the National League's starting third baseman for the All-Star Game, has 356 career homers.
The Rangers jumped on Randy Vasquez with two outs in the third. Josh Smith walked and Corey Seager singled, with both scoring when Marcus Semien doubled to right-center over Fernando Tatis Jr.'s outstretched glove.
After Machado's homer pulled the Padres within one, they tied it in the sixth, getting just one run despite loading the bases with one out.
Tatis opened with a triple that ticked off the glove of right fielder Adolis Garcia. Machado's one-out walk chased starter Kumar Rocker, and Arraez greeted Hoby Milner with an RBI single. Sheets singled to load the bases before Milner struck out Bogaerts and Cronenworth.
Adrian Morejon (5-3) got the win. Key moment
Cronenworth's single ended it after 3 hours, 8 minutes. Key stat
Machado can become the 12th player to reach 350 homers and 2,000 hits at age 32 or younger. Up next
Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (4-5, 4.29 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday night against Padres RHP Stephen Kolek (3—3, 3.73).

Djokovic's daughter steals the show at Wimbledon with her victory dance
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Seven-year-old Tara Djokovic wowed Wimbledon with a victory dance after dad's win Saturday on Centre Court. Novak Djokovic had just clinched his 100th Wimbledon singles win and was asked during his on-court interview to shed light on the little dance he's been doing recently. He said it's done to a song called 'Pump It Up." 'There's a song with my kids — look my daughter's doing it right now,' a smiling Djokovic said as he looked into the crowd. 'You want to show it darling?' The TV camera then panned to Tara, who then showed everyone how it's done: pump your fists down, then left, right and overhead. The crowd roared. 'She's the master. It's a little tradition we have right now. Hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.' ___ AP tennis: in this topic

Angel Reese Has Everyone's Attention With Fourth Of July Swimsuit Photo
Angel Reese Has Everyone's Attention With Fourth Of July Swimsuit Photo originally appeared on The Spun. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky haven't played since June 29, but she had the entire WNBA world buzzing on the Fourth of July. Reese, the No. 7 pick from the 2024 WNBA Draft, has been extremely productive for the Sky this season, averaging 12.4 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. Earlier this year, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach at least 500 career points and 500 career rebounds. The LSU product also became the fastest player in league history to reach 150 rebounds and 50 assists in a single season. Most WNBA analysts expect Reese to be named an All-Star reserve this Sunday. That'd be quite the honor for her. Judging by Reese's latest social media activity, she's not worried about the final roster spots for this year's All-Star Game. In fact, she's simply enjoying the holiday weekend. On Friday night, Reese posted a few swimsuit photos on Instagram along with the caption "some-BODY." This post from Reese went viral, receiving over 224,000 likes in just 13 hours. Although she limited the amount of comments on her post, Reese received plenty of love from her fans. Reese is no stranger to turning heads in a swimsuit. In 2023, she made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut. She was photographed by Yu Tsai in Los Angeles. "I had on thong bathing suits and I didn't think I was going to be comfortable, but [everyone] made me feel really comfortable," Reese said. "I work out a lot. I embrace my body and who I am and every mark on my body. I probably feel the sexiest in a bathing suit." If Reese is ever open to a return, SI Swimsuit would probably love to have her be part of the magazine again. For now, Reese is rocking to the beat of her own drum. Angel Reese Has Everyone's Attention With Fourth Of July Swimsuit Photo first appeared on The Spun on Jul 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Emma Navarro beats defending Wimbledon champ Barbora Krejcikova. There will be a first-time winner
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Emma Navarro describes herself as 'stubborn' and her tennis as 'scrappy.' The American's attitude and game both were in just the right places at Wimbledon on Saturday, when she pulled off another Grand Slam victory over a defending champion by eliminating Barbora Krejcikova 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Sending an ill and dizzy Krejcikova home in the third round, the 10th-seeded Navarro extended a recent run of one-and-done winners at the All England Club and assured the grass-court major of yet another first-time women's champion. 'Something I take a lot of pride in is being tough and fighting till the last point, no matter what the circumstances are. It's something I always try to do,' said Navarro, who was born in New York, grew up in South Carolina and won the 2021 NCAA championship for the University of Virginia. 'I could never live with myself if I ever gave up. It's just not in my nature. I don't think it's in any of my family members' nature to ever give up on anything. I guess we're a stubborn bunch.' Krejcikova faded in the third set, getting her blood pressure checked at the changeover after Navarro broke her to lead 3-2 at No. 1 Court. Krejcikova ate a banana and drank liquids during the medical timeout, while Navarro walked to her guest box and spoke to her coach during the break in action. When play resumed, Krejcikova showed clear signs of being in distress, often leaning over and placing her hands on her knees between points. 'I was actually feeling worse and worse,' said Krejcikova, who was seeded 17th but now will tumble out of the top 70 in the WTA rankings. 'It's very sad for me and very unfortunate.' This is hardly Navarro's first big win on a big stage. Last year, she eliminated Coco Gauff at Wimbledon to reach her first major quarterfinal. Then, in a rematch a couple of months later, Navarro won again at the U.S. Open — where Gauff was the 2023 champion — en route to her debut in a Slam semifinal. Whoever ends up winning the Wimbledon women's title on July 12 will be the ninth champion in the past nine editions of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. Serena Williams was the last repeat champ in 2016. The trophy-takers since then have been Garbine Muguruza in 2017, Angelique Kerber in 2018, Simona Halep in 2019, Ash Barty in 2021 — all of whom are now retired — Elena Rybakina in 2022, Marketa Vondrousova in 2023 and then Krejcikova (the tournament was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19). Rybakina lost Saturday; Vondrousova exited in the second round. Against Krejcikova, Navarro was down a set and a break at 2-1 in the second before turning things around. 'I kind of regrouped a little, tried to slow things down a bit from my side and make her look at some different shots,' said Navarro, 24, who will meet No. 7 Mirra Andreeva, an 18-year-old Russian, on Monday for a quarterfinal berth. 'Kind of just try to make her as uncomfortable as I could.' Most points were decided by what Krejcikova did. That's how she ended up with 34 winners — 21 more than Navarro — and 53 unforced errors. Remarkably, Navarro finished with just 11 unforced errors. Last year's triumph was the second at a major tournament for Krejcikova, who also won the 2021 French Open. It has been a fortnight filled with surprises, and Navarro is one of four top-10 seeds left in the women's bracket. The others are No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who won her third-round match Friday against Emma Raducanu, Andreeva and No. 8 Iga Swiatek, a 6-2, 6-3 winner against Danielle Collins on Saturday. 'My slice is coming along pretty nicely. I'm able to use that to my advantage,' Navarro said. 'Played scrappy at times. Played tough. Hit some good groundstrokes, as well. I feel pretty good about where I'm at.' ___ More AP tennis:
