Emily Wilson's 'Odyssey' became a cultural flashpoint. Now, she's retranslating the whole thing
SUMMARY: Emily Wilson's 2017 translation of “The Odyssey” is a million-seller. It's also not the end of the story. Wilson has decided to go back to Homer's ancient epic and translate it again. A leading official of the American Translators Association says she can't think of another time a translator has completely revised an early edition. Wilson's comments came as she was promoting her new book, “Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea.” She was already in the news this summer for her strong criticism of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey.” Wilson has called it superficial and even incoherent.

Colorado fell to an NL-worst 52-82, clinching its eighth consecutive losing season. The Rockies were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and left 13 on base overall.

Jordan and Urías homer as Cardinals beat Orioles 7-5 to snap 5-game losing streak

The teams traded runs in the eighth after Coby Mayo hit a three-run homer in the seventh to cut the St. Louis lead to 6-4.

Carlos Alcaraz opens US Open title defense against Safiullin, Venus Williams plays Sofia Kenin
SUMMARY: Carlos Alcaraz will open the defense of his U.S. Open title against an opponent who made a strong run at Wimbledon while the Spaniard was sidelined with an injury. He faces Roman Safiullin in his first singles match since April. Alcaraz has been sidelined with a right wrist injury. Venus Williams plays fellow American Sofia Kenin.

Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski lead the Brewers to an 8-2 victory over the Mets
SUMMARY: Jackson Chourio went 4 for 5 with two homers, four RBIs and four runs to help Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Mets 8-2. Misiorowski overcame some command issues and reduced velocity — at least by his standards — to allow two hits and strike out six over six innings. Both hits he gave up came in the fifth, when Jacob Young had an RBI double and Christopher Morel laced a run-scoring single. Nine of Misiorowski’s 95 pitchers were clocked at 100 mph, with none reaching 101 mph. He walked two batters for the second consecutive outing after issuing four walks in seven starts from July 2 through Aug. 15.

Aaron Judge hopes to skip minor league rehab assignment before returning to Yankees
SUMMARY: Aaron Judge is hoping to skip a minor league rehabilitation assignment before returning to the New York Yankees as he nears the three-month mark in his recovery from a stress fracture in his right rib. Judge began taking swings in the indoor batting cages Tuesday. The three-time AL MVP also recently started doing some running and throwing in the outfield. The Yankees' captain declined to offer a target date for his return but said he's not feeling anything other than normal soreness. Judge missed his 74th game Thursday night since he last played on May 31. The Yankees entered 39-34 without the slugger during that stretch, including 11-6 in their past 17 games.

George Lombard Jr. becomes first Yankees shortstop with an error in 6 straight games since 1915
SUMMARY: George Lombard Jr. made history this month when he became the first New York Yankees shortstop to homer in his major league debut. Three weeks into his career, however, the rookie set a dubious mark by committing an error for the sixth straight game in Thursday night’s 5-1 loss to the Houston Astros. Lombard became the first Yankees shortstop since Roger Peckinpaugh in 1915 to commit an error in six consecutive games when Yanier Diaz hit a grounder that caromed off his glove. Lombard has seven errors in his first 20 games. Following his latest miscue, he said his defense was not acceptable.

Roger Federer heads to the Tennis Hall of Fame and says he 'had the best time' during his career
SUMMARY: Roger Federer loved to win, of course, and at the peak of his career almost always did. All those victories and trophies he piled up alone would have made Federer remembered forever in tennis, but they were only part of the reason he enjoyed playing. He liked traveling to tournaments, meeting people and making new friends and opponents and fans. Only after he finished competing did Federer realize how much that impacted his legacy in the sport. Federer will have a chance to reflect back on it all Saturday when he is enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Beau Brungard accounts for 5 touchdowns in Youngstown State's season-opening win over Mercyhurst
SUMMARY: Beau Brungard threw for three touchdowns and ran for two, leading Youngstown State to a 43-10 rout of Mercyhurst in a Football Championship Subdivision season opener. Brungard, the reigning Walter Payton Award winner as the top offensive player in FCS, finished with 232 yards passing and 119 yards rushing. The Penguins, ranked No. 9 in the Stats Perform FCS top 25, had 484 yards on offense, with 232 passing and 252 rushing. After a field goal on the opening possession of the game the Lakers went scoreless until their final possession. A blocked punt by Kaleb Platz set them up for a 53-yard drive to their only touchdown, a 2-yard pass from Alex Gevaudan to Sha’lik Hampton with about 2 minutes remaining.

Bills close preseason with 28-27 win over Steelers on Buechele's late 2-point conversion
SUMMARY: Ian Wheeler scored on a 2-yard run with 1:06 left, Steve Buechele completed an off-balance pass to Dante Pettis for a 2-point conversion and the Buffalo Bills beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-27 in the preseason finale for each team Thursday night. The Steelers’ last chance to pull ahead ended with Drew Allar’s pass sailing behind tight end Lake McRee on fourth-and-7 with 44 seconds remaining. It was a disappointing finish for Allar in an outing the rookie was attempting to separate himself from Will Howard in the competition for the Steelers’ third-string job. In squandering a 10-point lead over the final seven minutes, the Steelers closed the preseason 1-2. Buffalo was 3-0.
