BKN--GRIZZLIES-MAGIC TRADE

Magic are landing Bane in trade with Grizzlies for Anthony, Caldwell-Pope and picks, AP source says

SUMMARY: The Orlando Magic are acquiring Desmond Bane from Memphis in a deal that sends Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and draft capital to the Grizzlies, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement. Part of the draft package going to Memphis includes three of Orlando’s future first-round picks, including the 16th selection in this year’s draft, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was still awaiting NBA approval. ESPN first reported the agreement.

BBO--CONTRERAS BROTHERS-HOMERS

Willson and William Contreras first pair of brothers to homer in same inning as opponents since 1933

SUMMARY: Willson and William Contreras became the second pair of brothers to homer in the same inning as opponents in baseball’s modern era. Both went deep Saturday in the ninth inning of the St. Louis Cardinals’ 8-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers that snapped the Cards’ six-game skid. Willson Contreras’ ninth homer of the season, a solo shot to right-center, gave St. Louis an 8-4 lead in the top of the ninth. William Contreras led off the bottom half of the inning with his sixth homer. The Contreras brothers are the first to homer in the same inning as opponents since Rick and Wes Ferrell on July 19, 1933.

SOC--CWC-BIG KICK OFF

The Club World Cup is finally up and running — and soccer may never be the same

SUMMARY: After more than a year of uncertainty and criticism, the Club World Cup kicked off in Miami, and soccer may never be the same. At least that’s what FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been telling anyone who would listen. Soccer’s newest tournament is what the sport has been waiting for, Infantino says, and on Saturday, despite considerable pushback and obstacles, he turned his personal passion project into a reality. The Swiss lawyer who holds one of the most powerful positions in the world as head of soccer’s governing body was on hand at a largely full Hard Rock Stadium to watch Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami draw 0-0 with Egyptian team Al Ahly in the opening game.

SOC--CWC-AL AHLY-INTER MIAMI

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Egypt’s Al Ahly battle to scoreless draw in Club World Cup opener

SUMMARY: Lionel Messi was denied a sensational late winner as Inter Miami had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Egypt’s Al Ahly in the opening game of the Club World Cup on Saturday night. Argentina’s eight-time Ballon d’Or winner looked set to provide a stunning finish in front of a crowd of more than 60,000 - whipping a curling long shot towards the top corner in the sixth minute of added time. But he was denied his moment of glory as Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed Elshenawy pushed the ball onto the crossbar. Messi also shaved the post with a free kick earlier in the second half.

BBO--DODGERS-OHTANI HOMERS

Shohei Ohtani hits 2 homers against Giants, ending the Dodgers star’s 10-game homer drought

SUMMARY: Shohei Ohtani has hit two homers against the San Francisco Giants, emphatically ending the three-time MVP’s longest homer drought since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani led off the game with his 24th homer, hammering Landen Roupp’s fourth pitch 419 feet deep into the right-field bleachers with an exit velocity of 110.3 mph. The slugger had been in a 10-game homer drought since June 2, going 10 for 40 in that stretch with no RBIs. Ohtani then led off the sixth with his 25th homer on Tristan Beck’s breaking ball outside the strike zone.
