Phillies get 3-2, walk-off win over boston on catcher's interference call with bases loaded in 10th
It is the first walk-off win due to catcher's interference since Aug. 1, 1971, when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds. Phillies starter Zack Wheeler went six innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits with 10 strikeouts. Relievers Tanner Banks, Orion Kerkering, Matt Strahm, and Max Lazar (1-0) each threw scoreless innings. Lazar earned his first major league win. The Phillies scored twice in the fourth inning. Bryce Harper doubled, Nick Castellanos had an RBI single and advanced to second on a passed ball, and then scored on J.T. Realmuto's single. Jarren Duran led off the game with his ninth home run of the season for Boston. Trevor Story tied the game at 2 with an RBI single in the sixth. Boston's Walker Buehler worked seven innings, allowing six hits and two runs, one earned. Jordan Hicks (1-6) took the loss.
Key moment: Hicks threw 10 pitches without getting an out in the 10th. He walked Otto Kemp, who was trying to bunt Marsh to third. Marsh and Kemp advanced on a wild pitch to Max Kepler, who was intentionally walked by the Red Sox to face Sosa. Key stat: Bryce Harper has 14 hits and 13 extra-base hits (nine doubles, four home runs) in his last eight games. He had just seven extra-base hits in his previous 25 games.
Up next: The Phillies send Cristopher Sanchez (8-2, 2.50 ERA) against Boston's Richard Fitts (1-3, 4.28) on Tuesday.

Shaq has been refurbishing basketball courts for 30 years, knows first hand how they can help kids
Shaquille O'Neal knows exactly how much refurbishing a basketball court can mean to a community and the kids who play on it. He learned first-hand from his former Boston Celtics teammate Marquis Daniels. He was a teenager three decades ago when O'Neal was playing with the Orlando Magic and rebuilt a court in the inner city area where Daniels was growing up. 'It was big. He was somebody growing up that I looked up to; he was the tallest person I had ever seen,' Daniels told The AP. 'He was playing with my home team the Orlando Magic and giving back to the community and showing his appreciation. For kids like me to have a court in the inner city was huge.' Years later, when they were teammates in Boston, Daniels reminded the Hall of Famer that he had been at that court dedication and how it helped change his life. After a 10-year career in the NBA, Daniels has been working as a coach at his alma mater Auburn since 2018. O'Neal recalled Daniels telling him the story. 'He said, 'You don't remember me?'' O'Neal said while in Rockwell, Texas, to refurbish another court near his new home. 'I said no, and he said, 'Well, I was one of the kids that grew up in Orlando and you fixed up a court. Because you fixed it up, I'm here.'' For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Refurbishing courts is commonplace around the NBA and WNBA. The Indiana Fever unveiled a new Legacy Court at a local park in Indianapolis during All-Star weekend, and the league has an initiative this year to put down orange lines across the country to inspire young players with a WNBA 3-point arc on outdoor courts. The renovated court at Gloria Williams park is now part of a collection of Comebaq Courts, a joint venture by Icy Hot and the Shaquille O'Neal Foundation to build well-equipped and safe courts for kids across the country. 'They found this court that hasn't been refurbished in a while and that's historical with the city,' O'Neal said. Renovating one in Rockwall was actually the idea of Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale. 'She's played her entire career in Dallas and wanted to do something for the community.' 'This is like my second home. I've been here my whole career, so this initiative with Icy Hot and Shaq was a no-brainer,' she said. 'Just to give back to the youth that pours into us and my teammates every night is special.' It's special to O'Neal also, as he plans to spend a lot of his time in the Texas city. 'I'll get on my little scooter or motorcycle and just ride by and see what's going on with the kids,' he said. 'I work in Atlanta, but it's only an hour flight and I'm sure at some point this will be my permanent home.' O'Neal, who is the president of Reebok Basketball, also donated basketball shoes to all the members of the Boys & Girls Club kids who were at the event.

Dwight Muhammad Qawi, boxer who went from prison to champion, dies at 72
Dwight Muhammad Qawi, the Hall of Fame fighter who took up boxing in prison and became a two-weight world champion, has died. He was 72. Qawi's sister, Wanda King, said he died Friday following a five-year battle with dementia. Born Dwight Braxton in Baltimore, Qawi grew up in Camden. He competed in the boxing program at Rahway State Prison while serving a sentence for armed robbery and turned professional at age 25 soon after his release in 1978. In December 1981, Qawi—who legally changed his name in 1982 following his conversion to Islam—stopped Matthew Saad Muhammad in the 10th round to win the WBC light heavyweight belt. Qawi stopped Saad again eight months later, taking six rounds. After a loss to Michael Spinks, the 5-foot-7 Qawi—called 'The Camden Buzzsaw'—moved up in weight and took the WBA cruiserweight title from Piet Crous in July 1985. Qawi lost the title to future heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in a 15-rounder in July 1986. Qawi later fought as a heavyweight with George Foreman, stopping him in seven rounds. Qawi retired in 1998 at age 46 with a 41-11-1 record and 25 knockouts. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004. After his retirement from the ring, he worked as a boxing trainer, youth advocate, and drug and alcohol counselor.

Mauricio and Soto lead Mets past Giants 5-3 for 7th straight win
Ronny Mauricio and Juan Soto homered in the seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 5–3 on Sunday to match a season best with their seventh straight win. Mauricio had a career-high four hits, going 4 for 4 with two doubles and a tying homer from the bottom spot in the batting order. Jeff McNeil doubled twice to help the Mets complete a three-game sweep and extend their NL East lead to 1 1/2 games over Philadelphia. Matt Chapman homered twice and drove in all three runs for the Giants, who loaded the bases in the ninth on two walks and a hit batter. Edwin Díaz struck out Willy Adames and Chapman to end it. The Mets, who also had a seven-game winning streak in April, trailed 3–2 following Chapman's second homer, a two-run drive off starter Kodai Senga in the fifth. Mauricio tied it when the rookie drove a 1-0 slider from reliever Randy Rodriguez (3–2) into McCovey Cove leading off the seventh. After Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor struck out, Soto hit his team-leading 25th home run to left, giving the Mets a 4–3 lead. They added an insurance run in the ninth on consecutive doubles by Mauricio and Nimmo. José Buttó (3–1), the second of four Mets relievers, retired three batters for the win. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect seventh in his New York debut, and Díaz worked the ninth for his 23rd save. Senga walked five in five innings. He allowed three runs and four hits. Key moment: Mauricio shut down a potential Giants rally when he fielded Adames' slow grounder in front of third base and then quickly reversed direction to tag out Heliot Ramos trying to advance from second. Key stat: Rodriguez had allowed only one home run all season before the Mets got to him twice in one inning. Up next: Mets RHP Frankie Montas (3–1 4.62 ERA) faces the Padres in San Diego on Monday. Carson Whisenhunt, the Giants' top pitching prospect, will make his major league debut Monday against Pittsburgh.
