Marlins Notch First Walk-Off Win of 2025 MLB Season As Kyle Stowers Plays Hero

The 2025 MLB season has its first walk-off, courtesy of the Miami Marlins.

On Opening Day, the Marlins defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on a game-winning single to right field off of the bat of outfielder Kyle Stowers at loanDepot park on Thursday. Facing 2024 National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes, Miami scratched a run across the board in the bottom of the third inning, but didn't plate another off the ace right-hander until the sixth frame.

Then, with Skenes out of the game and trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th inning, the Marlins mounted a rally against the Pirates bullpen. And Stowers, who worked a leadoff walk, then came around to score on an RBI single by second baseman Otto Lopez before right fielder Dane Myers tied the game with another base hit.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, a leadoff triple from catcher Nick Fortes started the rally, and Stowers, after Pirates closer David Bednar intentionally walked shortstop Xavier Edwards, won the game with a single to right.

The game pitted a budding ace in Skenes against '22 NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara, and the two pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts, though neither pitched longer than 5 1/3 innings. The two clubs will take to the diamond again for the second game in the series on Friday at 7:10 p.m. ET.

Gloucestershire bring in Will Williams from Lancashire

Gloucestershire have signed seam bowler Will Williams on a three-year contract. Williams, who began his career in New Zealand but has played for Lancashire since 2022, will join at the end of the season.The 32-year-old has only played three times in the County Championship this season but had been offered a contract extension. In all, he has taken 99 first-class wickets at 24.29 for Lancashire, as well as nine in List A competition.Gloucestershire have been severely depleted by player departures, with fast bowlers Ajeet Singh Dale, Zaman Akhter, Tom Price and Dom Goodman all agreeing moves elsewhere. Singh Dale will move in the opposite direction to Williams, Akhter is joining Essex, while Price and Goodman have both signed for Sussex.”It is not often a player becomes available still in the peak of their career with a bowling record like Will’s,” Gloucestershire’s head coach, Mark Alleyne, said”That alone would have been enough to attract our interest, but after a couple of meetings, it was clear this lad is a lot more than a high-performing bowler. He has the character I love in a cricketer and is prepared to commit totally to the cause.”I look forward to welcoming and embracing him to the Glorious family; I’m confident he will be popular with players and supporters alike.”Williams was born in New Zealand and spent ten years with Canterbury. He has dual UK-NZ citizenship and has been registered as a local player since joining Lancashire.”I’m really excited for this new chapter in my life. Speaking to Mark [Alleyne], it’s clear the club has strong ambitions, and he’s made it clear how I fit into those plans,” Williams said.”From the outside, Gloucestershire has always looked like a tight-knit, hardworking group. I’m keen to bring my experience, learn from the environment, and hopefully make a positive impact on and off the field. I can’t wait to get started and to make Gloucestershire and Bristol my new home.”

Fletcher 118 helps Knight Riders sign off with win and scuttle Unicorns' top-two plans

The defeat in the final league match of MLC 2025 meant San Francisco Unicorns finished third on the table, and will have to play the Eliminator

Andre Fletcher scored his second century of the tournament•Sportzpics for MLC

Los Angeles Knight Riders notched up only their second win of MLC 2025, but did it at the worst possible time for San Francisco Unicorns, denying them a chance of making the top two on the points table.Unicorns gave the massive chase of 244 their best shot, but it was firstly too many runs, and secondly, they missed the services of Romario Shepherd with the bat, after he hared in off the boundary line to try and take a catch in the first half, hurt his ankle, and wasn’t available for the rest of the game.Sanjay Krishnamurthi kept Unicorns in the chase with a 40-ball 92•Sportzpics for MLC

The total of 676 runs scored in this, the last game of the league phase, was way ahead of the norm in Lauderhill – the top innings score in the other eight games had been 188 – and it was all thanks to Andre Fletcher, Alex Hales and Sherfane Rutherford in the first half and Sanjay Krishnamurthi in the second.For a while, Krishnamurthi threatened to eclipse Fletcher’s 118, getting to 92 off just 39 balls with seven fours and seven sixes by the end of the 14th over. At that stage, 68 were needed off five overs, the game having been reduced to a 19-overs-a-side affair after a rain delay more or less halfway into the Knight Riders innings. But Jason Holder sent Krishnamurthi back first ball of the 15th, and despite some lusty hitting from Xavier Bartlett, who hit Corne Dry for three sixes and a four in the 16th, Unicorns ran out of steam. Shepherd was missed a great deal.The chase had started badly for Unicorns, though. Karthik Gattepalli, the left-arm spinner on MLC debut, opened the bowling with Dominic Drakes and, after Drakes had removed Finn Allen in the first over, accounted for Matthew Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk in the second on his way to returns of 3 for 31.

Krishnamurthi, with help from Hassan Khan (35 in 17) and Hammad Azam (38 in 27) did give Knight Riders a scare, but all the runs they had put on the board made it their night in Lauderhill.After Unicorns had opted to bowl, they went a straight seven-and-a-half overs without a wicket as Knight Riders put up 76 in the powerplay. Most of the damage was done by Alex Hales, who had had a quiet time of it in the competition leading up to this game, as he hit 58 in 26 in the partnership of 94 with Fletcher before becoming first man out.Fletcher then built another big partnership with Rutherford, this one of 97 runs in 52 balls, the two more or less evenly splitting the runs – Fletcher 45 in 24 and Rutherford 49 in 28 – before Rutherford was sent back in the 17th over. Fletcher was on 79 in 46 balls at that point, and upper a gear or two in the company of Rovman Powell, hitting Brody Couch for three sixes and a four – and getting to his century in the process – in the 18th over, and finishing off with two more sixes off Hassan in the last before falling off the last ball of the innings. His 118 (off 58) was his second century of the competition.Knight Riders are done in MLC 2025, along with Seattle Orcas. The top two, Washington Freedom and Texas Super Kings are up next, in Qualifier 1, with the winners going through to the final. Unicorns take on MI New York in the Eliminator, with the losers exiting the tournament and the winners taking on the losers of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2.

شريف عبد المنعم بعد تعادل الأهلي مع المصري: الروح غائبة.. وكل لاعب لا يريد الاعتماد على الآخر

علق شريف عبد المنعم لاعب فريق الكرة الأسبق بالنادي الأهلي، على تعادل الأحمر خلال مواجهة اليوم مع منافسه المصري، في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما ضمن منافسات الدوري المصري.

وعقب مباراة اليوم، وصل رصيد الأهلي إلى 23 نقطة في المركز الثاني بجدول ترتيب المسابقة، من الفوز بـ6 مباريات والتعادل 5 مرات بجانب هزيمة وحيدة حتى الآن، خلال مشواره في الدوري المصري.

وقال شريف عبد المنعم في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “الأهلي”: “الأهداف التي أهدرها الأهلي غريبة جدًا، السيء أن هذا التعادل الثاني، وهذا يجعل ثقة المكسب تهرب ويدخلك في ممر غير معتاد”.

وأردف: “لكن اللاعبين لم يقصروا، اللاعبون يذهبون لمرمى المنافس، والتغييرات كانت جيدة، أحمد عبد القادر لم يكن على المستوى، البعض سيقول لي أنه لا يشارك باستمرار، ولكن على كل لاعب أن يُحضر نفسه بشكل جيد وعندما يشارك تكون مشاركته إيجابية”.

وأكمل: “أنا أرى إن لاعبي الأهلي يشاركون وليس عندهم حماس، نحاول الاختراق ولكن التنفيذ داخل منطقة الجزاء أشعر أن كل لاعب لا يريد أن يعتمد على الآخر”.

وأوضح: “الموضوع يحتاج إلى تنظيم نفسي أكثر من فني، إنهاء الهجمة ضعيف، واللاعبون يشعرون أنهم سيفوزون في أي وقت، ولكن لم يقصروا”.

وأضاف: “الأهلي في كل مباراة هو الذي يستحوذ ويُهدر، أقول للجماهير لا تقلقوا على الفريق والنتائج، لا يوجد فريق في العالم يفوز باستمرار، المهم أن تطمئن إن الفريق يذهب لمنطقة جزاء الخصم، الأهلي اليوم أهدر 16 فرصة”.

وأتم: “على اللاعبين أن يشاهدوا أنفسهم من جديد ويُحددون السلبيات والإيجابيات، أرى أنهم لم يرتكبوا أخطاء كثيرة، لكن الروح كانت غائبة”.

Rahul's 112* sets Gujarat Titans 200 to win

Rahul also completed 8000 runs in T20 cricket and became the first batter to score hundreds for three different IPL teams

Hemant Brar18-May-2025KL Rahul’s fifth IPL hundred took Delhi Capitals (DC) to 199 for 3 against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Opening the innings, Rahul scored 112 not out off 65 balls, studded with 14 fours and four sixes, and became the first batter to score hundreds for three different IPL teams. Previously, he has scored hundreds for Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants.DC had a slow start, though, after being sent in. Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan stuck to good length and gave little room with the new ball. In the first four overs, there were 15 dot balls. Faf du Plessis, who tried to break the shackles and charged at Arshad, was caught at mid-on by Siraj. He made 5 off ten balls.After five overs, DC were 28 for 1. Rahul then injected momentum into the innings by hitting Kagiso Rabada for two sixes and a four in the last over of the powerplay. During that over, Rahul also completed 8000 runs in T20 cricket. Reaching there in 224 innings, he was the third-fastest, behind only Chris Gayle (213) and Babar Azam (218).With a four off Rashid Khan, Rahul brought up his fifty, his fourth of the season and coming off 35 balls. As a result, DC reached 81 for 1 after ten overs.R Sai Kishore had Abishek Porel caught behind for 30 off 19, after being hit for a six previous ball. That brought an end to a 90-run stand in 8.4 overs. But luck was on DC’s side, especially Rahul’s. In the 14th over, he got three fours off R Sai Kishore’s first three balls, all through luck. The first one was drilled back and went through Sai Kishore’s hand. Rabada misfielded the next and then an outside edge sped past short third.Axar took apart Sai Kishore in the 16th over, a strange call on Shubman Gill’s behalf to give Sai Kishore that over given Axar’s excellent record against spin this season. That over went for 15. Prasidh Krishna returned in the next over and dismissed Axar with his second ball.But Rahul and Stubbs added 48 off 22 balls in an unbroken stand to set GT a target of 200. With no dew so far, GT has their task cut out for them.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte eyeing Premier League raid as Serie A giants set sights on shock move for Brentford ace Michael Kayode

Antonio Conte-managed Napoli want to sign a new right-back in January and, in a shocking turn of events, it is understood that Brentford full-back Michael Kayode is on their shortlist as the manager searches for depth behind Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

Kayode to Napoli in January?

While Napoli need a right-back, according to SpazioNapoli, they are yet to make any formal offer to Kayode or establish contact with Brentford. The player, meanwhile, is contracted to the Premier League outfit until 2030; hence, it is expected that the Italian defender won't be cheap for the Naples-based giants. 

AdvertisementGetty Images SportKayode's season so far

While Kayode struggled in the second half of the 2024-25 season, the ongoing season of the Premier League has seen him appear seven times. Although he is yet to deliver any assists, his dangerous long throws and distance covering might be something Conte would like to add to his arsenal. Napoli have other options on their radar as well, but the 21-year-old might just be the candidate they are searching for.

Napoli eyeing the Scudetto again?

Under Conte's tactical brilliance last season, and riding on Scott McTominay & co's ruthless performances, Napoli were successful in winning their fourth Serie A title and their second in just three years. This season, they have made some key additions to the side, which includes former Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund (loan), and winger Noah Lang from PSV Eindhoven. One of the reasons behind such impactful signings is their determination to defend the Serie A title.

Leeds open new talks to sign "fantastic" target after Buonanotte collapse

After missing out on Facundo Buonanotte to Chelsea, Leeds United have now reportedly re-opened talks to sign a priority target before the transfer window slams shut.

Chelsea hijack Leeds' Buonanotte move

Just like Igor Paixao earlier this summer, Leeds are set to miss out on an attacking reinforcement at the death. This time, it’s Chelsea who have jumped ahead of them in brutal fashion to close in on a deal to sign Buonanotte from Brighton & Hove Albion. The news leaves those at Elland Road back to square one and still in need of additions.

Just where Leeds go from here is the big question. The 49ers have just two days to welcome alternative options and complete a squad that must be good enough to avoid the drop.

So far, Leeds have welcomed as many as 10 signings, with the latest arrival being James Justin from Leicester City. Once again, though, he will boost Daniel Farke’s backline rather than add some much-needed goals to his side.

The defender told Leeds’ official website after putting pen to paper: “Obviously to join a club of this size and to have the history it has had, and being back in the Premier League was a massive thing for me, so I’m over the moon to have joined.

“Everyone that I’ve spoken to about the club and the area has had great things to say about it. So I’m excited to join the lads and get to work.

Whilst Justin is a welcome arrival, Leeds have continued their search for an attacking reinforcement and have reportedly turned back towards one of their main targets.

Leeds re-open El Khannouss talks

According to Leeds United News, Leeds have now re-opened talks to sign Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester this week. The attacking midfielder just missed out on a move to Crystal Palace after they decided to sign Yeremy Pino instead. Although that would have been a disappointment for him, it has seemingly allowed Elland Road chiefs to swoop back in for their priority target.

Dubbed a “fantastic talent” by scout Jacek Kulig, El Khannouss was a rare bright spark in a relegated Leicester side last season and could now provide Leeds’ attack with that same spark.

With their attacking problems clear for all to see, the 49ers must back Leeds one final time to welcome a talent like El Khannouss before the deadline.

Torcida do Vasco faz protesto em sede e 'enforca' Luiz Mello, CEO da SAF

MatériaMais Notícias

A torcida do Vasco realizou um novo protesto próximo a São Januário, sede do clube. Desta vez, o alvo foi o CEO da SAF, Luiz Mello, que teve um enforcamento simulado pelos aficionados, com a utilização de uma foto do dirigente e uma camisa do Flamengo, além de uma placa com os dizeres “Luiz Mengo”.

Luiz foi alvo de uma investigação interna após ser descoberta uma ligação sua com o programa de sócio-torcedor do Rubro-Negro ao assinar o termo de posse no Cruz-Maltino, em 2022. No documento, um dos pontos que impediria o mandatário de assumir o cargo é a existência de um “vínculo associativo com clube ou entidade de prática esportiva, exceto pelo acionista fundador”. Ao ser questionado sobre a relação, Mello se defendeu as acusações.

– Minha relação com o futebol começou antes de eu ser um profissional deste mercado. É o que acontece com quase todo brasileiro. Me preparei durante toda a minha vida para trabalhar neste segmento e ser CEO do Vasco é a realização de um sonho. Independente de qualquer relação passada, hoje eu vivo, respiro, me doo e torço pelo Vasco da Gama com todas as minhas forças. Grandes treinadores do Vasco eram torcedores do Flamengo e do Fluminense. Grandes ídolos do clube tinham admiração por rivais e nem por isso deixaram de honrar a camisa vascaína. Qualquer movimento em uma direção diferente dessa também seria ir contra meu sonho – disse o dirigente.

Além do boneco, uma faixa foi pendurada na Avenida Brasil, logradouro próximo ao estádio vascaíno, com novas críticas direcionadas à 777 Partners, dona da SAF do Vasco. A placa continha os dizeres “Cadê o aporte? 17771 Partners”.

Rangers in talks to sign another "exciting" PL ace who the 49ers know well

Despite just welcoming Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, Rangers are reportedly back in the Premier League market and have opened talks to sign a talent who the 49ers know well.

Martin "thrilled" to welcome "aggressive" Moore

It’s been an impressive overhaul by Rangers this summer and Moore instantly stands out as one of their best arrivals. The exciting 17-year-old often showed glimpses of what he is capable of whenever given the opportunity at Tottenham and a loan move to Rangers should provide him with the platform to begin realising what is incredibly high potential.

Speaking for the first time since sealing his loan move, the young winger told Rangers’ official website: “I’m excited to get going. As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me.

“I’m excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do. I’ve always loved Rangers as a club. My family have always loved them. I think with the new boss and the way that we play, it’s a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.”

Russell Martin was also thrilled to get the deal over the line, saying: “We are thrilled to bring Mikey on loan for this season. His profile as a brave, aggressive attacking player is one that we were keen to add to the squad, and he is certainly a player who, despite his age, can make an impact on the team from day one.

More exciting than Gassama & Moore: Rangers must sign "tenacious" £5m star

Rangers must swoop for this £6m star who would be even more exciting than Djeidi Gassama and Mikey Moore.

By

Aug 2, 2025

“He is a player with huge potential, and it is testament to his quality that he has been entrusted by Spurs in both the Premier League and UEFA Europa League with such regularity over the last 18 months.”

Those at Ibrox aren’t done there with their shopping in the Premier League, however. Reports are now claiming that they’ve opened talks to sign a young talent who the 49ers know well.

Leeds open talks to sign Joe Gelhardt

According to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider, Rangers have now opened talks to sign Joe Gelhardt in a permanent deal from Leeds United, who are also owned by the 49ers.

The 23-year-old forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Hull City, having struggled for game time at Elland Road, and ended his spell with five goals to his name. It was a loan move which, ultimately, lacked consistency but one that seemingly showed Rangers enough to warrant a summer move.

Whilst Gelhardt struggled for starts at Leeds, Martin and Rangers could yet provide him with the platform that he has desperately needed for the last 12 months.

It’s then that he could realise his best form and prove Jamie Rednkapp right, who said when speaking about Gelhardt in 2021: “He’s like a human wrecking ball. I like him; he’s really exciting. He’s fast; he’s aggressive; he gets on the ball, he takes people on.”
