BOX--TAYLOR-SERRANO

Katie Taylor beats Amanda Serrano for a third time to remain undisputed 140-pound champion

SUMMARY: Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano for the third time, winning a majority decision to remain the undisputed 140-pound champion. Taylor won by scores of 97-93 on two judges’ cards, while the third had it even at 95-95. It was the third straight narrow decision between the two, after Taylor won a split decision in their first bout and a narrow unanimous decision in the rematch. Back in Madison Square Garden, site of their first bout in April 2022, Taylor improved to 25-1 in a fight that perhaps wasn’t as exciting as their first two, but once again was almost too close to call.

BBO--YANKEES-JUDGE

Yankees’ Aaron Judge makes 3 outstanding catches, robs Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong of home run

SUMMARY: Aaron Judge made three outstanding catches in right field, robbing Pete Crow-Armstrong of a home run, Dansby Swanson of a single and Kyle Tucker of a two-run hit in the New York Yankees’ 11-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The 6-foot-7 Judge leaped at the right-field wall to catch a 327-foot drive by Crow-Armstrong against Carlos Rodón in the fourth inning, denying what would have been Crow-Armstrong’s 26th home run. Judge then rushed in and dove for a backhand grab on Swanson’s sinking liner for the third out of the inning and made a sliding catch on Tucker in the eighth.

Yanks’ Cody Bellinger hits 3rd home run of game against Cubs, an inning after being robbed

SUMMARY: Cody Bellinger hit three two-run homers, leading the New York Yankees to an 11-0 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Bellinger nearly went deep in the seventh but was robbed by Kyle Tucker on a drive above the right-field wall. Bellinger homered in the eighth off Jordan Wicks, just above the glove of leaping center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. Traded to the Yankees in December, Bellinger is batting .406 during a career-high 16-game hitting streak.

Misiorowski is the replacement for Chicago Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd. The 23-year-old Misiorowski has made just five starts for the Brewers. Skenes had made just 11 starts for the Pittsburgh Pirates when he got the nod as the NL starter in Texas last year. Skenes pitched a scoreless inning.

BBO--OHTANI-SPLASH HIT

Shohei Ohtani crushes 32nd home run into San Francisco’s McCovey Cove

SUMMARY: Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani splashed his 32nd home run of the season into San Francisco’s McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall. It marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park’s 25-year history and 171st in all — and 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds. Ohtani connected with one out in the third inning for a two-run drive after Hyeseong Kim’s leadoff single marked the first hit of the night for Los Angeles against Giants starter Logan Webb. A kayaker immediately jumped into the water to retrieve the special souvenir ball.

BKN--BUCKS-TURNER

Myles Turner gets introduced by the Bucks, says he wants to keep contending for titles

SUMMARY: Myles Turner wants to keep contending for NBA titles. The Milwaukee Bucks formally introduced Turner — the most significant free agent who switched addresses this summer — on Friday. Turner had spent the entirety of his 10-year NBA career with the Indiana Pacers, who went to the NBA Finals this past season and lost Game 7 of the title series to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He makes Milwaukee younger and likely a bit more versatile. Brook Lopez, who is 37, was Milwaukee’s starting center this past season. Turner is only 29, and even though he’s played 10 seasons already may now just be coming into his prime.

BKN--TIMBERWOLVES-OWNERS

Lore and A-Rod detail some of their plans for the Timberwolves

SUMMARY: Alex Rodriguez remembers a very specific lesson that longtime New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner taught him over the years. In a way, it’ll shape his approach when it comes to running the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rodriguez and Marc Lore — the new, finally finalized, co-owners of the Timberwolves and winners in a four-year battle for control of that team and the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx — spoke at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas on Friday. And when asked about how his ownership style might emulate Steinbrenner’s, Rodriguez drew a quick parallel.

FBC--BYU-RETZLAFF TRANSFERRING

BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff transferring following tumultuous few months

SUMMARY: BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff is transferring after a tumultuous few months that included being named in a civil sexual assault suit that was later dismissed. Retzlaff reportedly faced a suspension for violating the honor code at the university, which is run by the Mormon church, after acknowledging .a consensual sexual relationship in his defense against the lawsuit. Retzlaff threw for 2,947 yards and 20 touchdowns with 12 interceptions last season as the Cougars contended for a spot in the Big 12 championship game. BYU coach Kalani Sitake avoided commenting on Retzlaff’s situation at Big 12 media days earlier this week, saying it was a private matter and he shouldn’t comment before Retzlaff.

GLF--LIV-WORLD RANKING

LIV Golf tries again to get world ranking points

SUMMARY: LIV Golf is trying again to get world ranking points. The Official World Golf Ranking said the Saudi-funded league of 54 players has sent in a new application to be included in the OWGR. The first application was rejected in October 2023 because the OWGR said it could not fairly measure a league that amounts to a closed shop with other tours around the world. LIV withdrew its application a year ago in May. It is not clear how the league would operate differently to get the OWGR to reconsider. World ranking points help determine the field for the four majors.

Chris Gotterup pounds his way to a 61 and leads the Scottish Open

SUMMARY: Chris Gotterup has tied the course record at The Renaissance Club with a 61. That gives him a two-shot lead over Harry Hall of England going into the weekend at the Scottish Open. Gotterup had nine birdies over 14 holes. He says breaking 60 never crossed his mind but he thought it would be cool to reach 10 under. He had few complaints. Ludvig Aberg had the best score in the windier afternoon at 65 and was three behind. Rory McIlroy had a 65 in the morning and was four back. Scottie Scheffler shot 68 and was six behind.

SUMMARY: Professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis has been arrested in South Florida on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. Miami Beach police say 30-year-old Davis was picked up early Friday morning, shortly after midnight, near the popular Lincoln Road area.

His promoter didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
