Warrington Rylands prepare for home opener against manager's old club
NEIL Reynolds expects a buoyant Bamber Bridge side to provide his Warrington Rylands players with a big test in their first home game of the new season tonight. However, he insists his own group should feel the same following their own display on the opening day. Blues had an eventful opener at Rushall Olympic on Saturday in a game which saw Ben Hardcastle miss a penalty and both sides have a man sent off – the 'seven-day rule' which applies to suspensions in the Northern Premier League means Matt Regan will be available for Tuesday's game despite his red card. Eventually, the two teams shared the spoils but now, Rylands face a Brig side who produced arguably the most eye-catching result in the division at the weekend by beating a well-fancied Guiseley side 2-0. It is the first of back-to-back home fixtures for Blues, with Gainsborough Trinity the visitors to WA2 on Saturday. Preston native Reynolds has a lengthy history with Tuesday's opponents in terms of playing and managing and hailed the side his counterpart Jamie Milligan has put together over the summer. Now, he wants to see his own side build on the positives they can take from their trip to Rushall and convert it into a first win of the new campaign. 'Bamber Bridge have had a good win – Milly's got a great side there,' he said. 'I look forward to reuniting with some old friends of mine at Bamber Bridge – it will be great to see them. 'They'll come to us with their tails up, but our tails should be up as well after Saturday. 'I'm super proud of them – there's a couple who need to get their heads up but nobody should be disappointed with themselves. 'They're an exceptional bunch which is why I've put them together.' Kick off at Gorsey Lane is at 7.45pm tonight.

Cedric Mullins robs home run in what may have been his last Baltimore Orioles' home game
If this was the final home game for Cedric Mullins in Baltimore, he gave the fans at Camden Yards one more spectacular highlight in center field. Mullins made a leaping, backhanded catch well above the wall to rob Ali Sánchez of a home run in the sixth inning Wednesday, although the Orioles ended up losing anyway, 9-8 to the Toronto Blue Jays. "Just timing. Understand where the wall is, understand kind of how you have to gauge it, and timing it up," Mullins said. "It's not like I really practice it. Just kind of a feel." The trade deadline is Thursday, when the Orioles have the day off. Mullins was outstanding in the field during this homestand and went 9 for 20 at the plate, including a single and a double on Wednesday. However, in his last at-bat Wednesday, he struck out with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh, and the Orioles never did get the tying run home. Mullins is in his eighth major league season, all with the Orioles. His 30-30 campaign in 2021 was a bright spot during a terrible season in Baltimore, and he remained a factor as the Orioles became a playoff team in 2023 and 2024. Now, Baltimore is in last place, so he's one of several players who wait to find out if they'll be dealt at the deadline. "I think everyone in this clubhouse is going to have a big sigh of relief when it's over, regardless of what comes down," Mullins said. On Sanchez's drive, Mullins made a running leap, then used his left hand atop the wall to propel himself even higher before snagging the ball in his glove, landing and beginning his jog back to the dugout — all seemingly in one motion. "I wish he would stop doing that," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. "That one was really impressive, and he made it look easy."

The Torrent era kicks off at home
This Saturday, July 26, the BBVA Stadium will be the stage for Rayados' first home game under the leadership of Domènec Torrent. Although he was announced two months ago, the Spanish coach has only managed away games or in the Club World Cup, so this match will mark his debut in front of the albiazul fans. Historically, recent Monterrey coaches have had good home debuts. Fernando Ortiz defeated Atlas in his first game in the Apertura 2023, while Víctor Manuel Vucetich and Javier Aguirre also started with victories over América. The exception was Martín Demichelis, who debuted with a home defeat in Matchday 6 of the Apertura 2024, when Toluca won 2-1. Interestingly, he was the last coach to lead Rayados to a Liga MX Final. Antonio Mohamed, in his second stint with the club, drew 1-1 against Chivas in his return to the Steel Giant. Now, Torrent will seek to write his own story against Atlas at 7:00 PM this Saturday.

Blue Jays tie club record by winning their 10th home game in a row as Yankees come to town
While their pitching was a bit spotty, the Blue Jays' offence was spot on, the main reason why disaster was averted and why Toronto would win its 10th straight home game to tie a franchise record. Article content The stage is now set for a three-game series against the visiting New York Yankees that begins Monday night in what promises to be yet another epic matchup with the Bronx Bombers. Article content Article content Article content On a sun-baked Sunday, the Jays led the San Francisco Giants 7-2, but would hold on for an 8-6 win. Article content The following are three takeaways on a day the Blue Jays earned their third successive series sweep at home, a day when the AL East leaders hit three home runs to run their overall record to 58-41. Article content 1. Berrios exposed Article content Once they returned from the all-star break, the Jays quickly turned the page from a tough stretch that saw them lose three of four entering the summer slumber. Article content A big reason can be traced to the starting pitching. Article content Chris Bassitt set the tone in Friday night's series opener. Article content On Saturday, Eric Lauer pitched even better than Bassitt. Article content Jose Berrios had a tough act to follow, in other words, when he started the series finale. Article content A couple of double plays in the first three innings certainly helped, but Berrios did face a threat in the fifth inning when he had runners at first and second with none out after he gave up a walk, the first time this series a Toronto pitcher had issued a free pass. Article content Article content On the 19th pitch of the inning, Berrios recorded the first out on an infield fly rule, no less. Article content Berrios, simply put, was losing his effectiveness as the Giants forced the right-hander to elevate his pitch count. Article content A big strikeout would end the inning, thus avoiding Rafael Devers, if the Jays even wanted such a matchup, which didn't seem likely. Article content When Berrios began the sixth, he had a 7-2 lead and promptly gave up a single to Devers. Article content After Berrios gave up a two-out, two-run bomb to Matt Chapman, a pitching change was made. Article content Berrios wasn't as good as Bassitt or Lauer and he needs to be better. Article content He was fortunate to be supported by an offence that would record a four-run inning for the third game in a row. Article content 2. Ray day Article content He won a Cy Young Award with the Blue Jays in 2021 and endeared himself to many with his competitive edge and loud grunts, while turning heads with his tight pants. Article content When last seen on the mound in Toronto, the left-hander pitched for the Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of the 2022 wild card.
