Four Homers and One Wild Ride

By Mauricio Segura

Max Muncy, Alika Williams, Jeff McNeil and Zack Gelof all homered in a five-run third inning, and the Sacramento A’s held off the Seattle Mariners 7-6 for their third straight victory. The four-homer frame matched the franchise record for home runs in an inning and was the club’s first such inning since 2002.

Seattle struck first against Kade Morris, in only his second major league start. Cal Raleigh drew a walk in the second, moved to second on Josh Naylor’s groundout and scored on Cole Young’s double to right. J.P. Crawford followed with a single that brought Young home for a 2-0 lead.

Then the Athletics changed the game in a hurry. Muncy opened the third with a solo homer to left. After Donovan Walton struck out, Williams sent another ball over the left-field wall. Henry Bolte drew a walk, and McNeil followed with a two-run homer to right that pushed the A’s ahead 4-2. Gelof then made it four homers in the inning with a solo shot to left. Seattle starter Logan Gilbert still struck out 10 Athletics, but he was charged with seven runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Seattle answered before the third inning was over. Brock Rodden singled and Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch. Julio Rodríguez brought Rodden home with a groundout, then Raleigh tied the game 5-5 with a two-run homer to right-center. Naylor doubled next, ending Morris’ outing after 2 2/3 innings and five runs. Brady Basso got Young on a groundout and followed with three scoreless innings, giving the Athletics a chance to regain control.

They did it in the fifth without another homer. Williams drew a walk, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. Gelof drove him home with a triple to right, then Lawrence Butler singled up the middle to score Gelof for a 7-5 lead. Butler’s hit extended his hitting streak to 13 games after he began the game with the longest active streak in the majors at 12.

The Mariners kept pushing. Raleigh opened the eighth-inning threat with a ground-rule double, and Naylor singled him home to trim the margin to 7-6. Elvis Alvarado escaped the rest of the inning, and Hogan Harris handled the ninth. Harris struck out pinch-hitter Patrick Wisdom, worked around an Arozarena walk and finished the game when Rodríguez flied out to center. Harris recorded his 15th save and added another scoreless appearance against Seattle after beginning the game without allowing a run in 10 career outings against the Mariners.

Muncy finished 3-for-4, while Gelof had a homer, triple, two runs and two RBI. McNeil added two hits and two RBI, and Williams scored twice. The victory gave the Athletics their first three-game winning streak since June, after the club had gone nearly three months without winning more than two in a row.

The A’s list left-hander Jeffrey Springs (3-13, 6.37 ERA, 98 K) against Seattle right-hander George Kirby (9-10, 4.19 ERA, 128 K) in the next game, with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. Pacific as Sacramento tries to make it four straight.

Cardinal Blown out by the Category 5 Hurricanes 45-6, Friday Evening on the Farm

STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (1-1, 0-1 ACC) Atlantic Coast Conference home opener was spoiled by the #7 Miami Hurricanes (1-0, 1-0 ACC), 45-6, turning a mild 70-degree gametime start into a stormy (scoring) night in the Bay on national television.

MIami acted in a benevolent way, by winning the coin flip, but deferring their possession until the second half.. Stanford was not able to capitalize on their early gift. After three down, Stanford was giving the ball right back to their South Florida visitors.

The Hurricanes absolutely took advantage of their initial possession. In less than three minutes into the game, Miami went on a 77-yard drive to open up the scoring for the two ACC combatants, ‘Canes’ QB Darian Mensah tossed a 23-yard TD to wide receiver Malachi Toney, putting the Sunshine State boys up 7-0. That would be only the beginning.

A little over four minutes later, the home team was able to scratch the scoreboard, with an Emmett Kenney 30-yard field goal. The Cardinal trailed by four, 7-3 at the midway point of the quarter. However, the Hurricane’s mighty winds would be in effect five minutes later.

The aforementioned touchdown combination of Mensah/Toney was at it again. The second one was on a 2-yard connection. With less than three minutes left in the initial quarter, Miami took an 11 points lead, 14-3. That advantage stayed the same at the quarter’s end. After one, Mensah had thrown two touchdown passes for 129 yards (8-8), while Toney caught two TDs for 89 yards.

The Hurricanes were not done with their damaging winds against the California trees. In the middle of the second quarter, running backCharMar “Marty” Brown crossed the end zone on a 5-yard run, to put his team up by 18 points, 213. After the 2:00 timeout, Mensah threw his third TD pass of the game. This one went to WR Daylyn Upshaw. The 25-point lead almost lasted until recess, but Stanford still showed their Cardinal pride. Kenney converted a 24-yard field goal with less than :30 left in the half. So, after 30 minutes of conference action, the Hurricanes led by 22 points, 28-6.

Mensah had three TD passes for 253 yards at the half, while Toney had his two TD receptions for 182 yards at the midpoint of the game.

Even with the large lead at the half, Miami had the distinction of receiving the ball, due to their early deferment. For the fourth time Mensah displayed his aerial skills, by hitting Cooper Burkate for a 34-yard TD strike. Three minutes into the second half, they found themselves up by 29 points, 35-6.

More than six minutes after the last score, Mensah to Toney happened again. The final connection between the two was for a 47-yard link.With nearly 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, Mensah had thrown 5 TDs and amassed over 400 yards passing. With a whopping 42-6 lead and more than a quarter left in the game, the Hurricanes decided to give Mensah the rest of the game off and mercifully let the clock run out and leave the Bay with a victory.

However, late in the final quarter, Miami added another three points to their already impressive tally, when kicker Jake Weinberg booted a 46-yard field goal, and increased their gap to 39 points, 45-6. That score lasted until the final whistle, and the U had earned a W.

Mensah finished early with 27-30 (90%), 401 passing yards and five TDs. MalachiToney’s 234 yards receiving was a school record performance.

Stanford will next be in action Saturday, September 19 in Durham< NC, as they take on the Duke Blue Devils at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET on the CW. Miami flies back to South Florida to host Florida A&M Thursday, September 10 8 PM ET on the ACC Network/ACCNX.

Bay FC match wrap: KC Current just get by Bay FC 2-1

By William Espy

SAN JOSE–Bay FC were back at PayPal Park on Friday night as they hosted the Kansas City Current, who brought a couple of familiar faces along with them, Kayla Sharples and Penelope Hocking. It was also a revenge game for Jordan Silkowitz, Claire Hutton and Alex Pfeiffer on Bay FC’s side of things, as they got an opportunity to face their old team. KC just got by the Bay FC in a close match with a 2-1 win.

Karlie Lema had a great run through the Current defense in the fifth minute, battling with the aforementioned Sharples in an attempt to get a shot on target. Lema’s shot ended up hitting the side netting, but she was making an early impact. Despite a strong start by Bay FC, it was Kansas City’s Izzy Rodriguez who scored the first goal of the night, kicking the ball into the net directly from a corner.

Kansas City’s Laney Rouse was shown a yellow card in the 37th minute, the first of the night, for a dangereous tackle on Alex Pfeiffer. Bay FC were clearly upset by the foul and thought it could have constituted a red card, but play continued regardless of their protests.

Bay FC tied things up in stoppage time as Karlie Lema was able to get her foot on a loose ball that was lying next to Current goalkeeper Marisa Jordan and put it in the back of the net.

By the halftime whistle, the game’s physicality had drastically become a key to success for both teams. Both sides were using heavy tackles and were committing fouls fairly regularly and it only seemed to increase as time went on. After 45 minutes, the game remained tied at a goal apiece.

The Current seemed very aggressive coming out of the break, leading to a few whistles. Roughly five minutes into the second half, there was a slight delay for Joelle Anderson who took an unfortunate hit to the head and exited the game. Aldana Cometti entered the game to take Anderson’s spot.

Lema tangled with Sharples again in the 67th minute, this time in a much more violent manner. After both players crashed to the ground, Lema was given a yellow card for her troubles.

In the 73rd minute, Emma Coates took Lema off the pitch, allowing Rachael Kundananji to make her return after an absence for international duty. Moments later, Croix Bethune was shown Kansas City’s second yellow card after she took down Cometti away from the ball.

Kundananji didn’t take long to make her presence felt, as her speed generated a scoring chance for Bay FC in the 83rd minute, but Jordan made the save to keep the game deadlocked. Hannah Bebar was shown a yellow card in the 84th minute.

Hocking made her return to PayPal Park in the 84th minute, while Bay FC brought on Dorian Bailey and Agostina Holzheier at the same time.

Kansas City broke the tie in the 89th minute, as Rocky Rodriguez was able to fire a shot from just outside of the box, which found the top corner of the goal and secured a 2-1 lead for the Current.

This time, Bay would be unable to find an equalizer and they suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Current, with the dagger coming in the closing moments.

San Francisco Giants game wrap: Mets Alvarez hits two homers, Mets hit five home runs in 10-6 win

New York Mets Mark Vientos rounds the bases after hitting a three run first inning home run against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field in New York on Fri Sep 4, 2026 (AP News photo)

San Francisco Giants game wrap:

By Jessica Kwong

NEW YORK. — The San Francisco Giants fell 10-6 to the New York Mets at Citi Field after the home team set off five home runs in the Friday night series opener.

San Francisco left 11 on base versus New York’s four – which Giants manager Tony Vitello attributed as a reason for the loss.

“I mean the left on base category is one. They actually don’t have it on the scoreboard here, most do because it does value but sometimes I think it can be overrated, you want guys to get on base, but tonight it kind of told the story,” said Vitello.

“They left four on base ’cause they ran the ball out of the park for majority of their damage and then we were in contention a bunch but leave 11 on there, so maybe it’s a little different if we can knock a lot around, but it’s, that was like a lot of games if you change a lot of things, the game would have been different.”

Mark Vientos hit a home run in the first inning on a fly ball to right field and Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette scored, giving the Mets a 3-0 start.

In the second inning, Francisco Alvarez hit a homer on a fly ball to right center field. Then Juan Soto grounded into a force out, first baseman Rafael Devers to shortstop Christian Koss, and Nick Morabito scored, making it 5-0 Mets.The inning got even worse for the Giants as Bichette homered on a line drive to left center field and Soto scored, putting the Mets up 7-0.

Rafael Devers in the third inning doubled on a sharp line drive to center field and Koss and Drew Gilbert scored, cutting the Mets’ lead to 7-2.

In the sixth inning, Lindor hit a home run on a fly ball to right field and Jared Young scored, expanding the Mets’ lead to 9-2.

Turner Hill singled on a ground ball to right field in the seventh inning and Jonah Cox scored, cutting the Mets’ lead to six runs.

The Giants rallied again in the eighth inning. Rafael Devers homered on a fly ball to right field and Koss and Jonah Cox scored, reducing New York’s lead to 9-6. But Alvarez responded with a home run of his own on a fly ball to left field and boosted the Mets to a 10-6 lead.

“I mean yeah you go back and look at the score and realize the opportunities we could’ve had, but nothing can change that you know,” Koss said. “Come out tomorrow and try to have better at-bats.”

Giants starting pitcher Matt Wilkinson allowed a career-high seven runs over three innings and multiple homers for the first time in his career.

“Just didn’t do my job,” he said.

Asked what he could do better next time, Wilkson said: “Pretty much everything. A lot of work to do, a lot of work to get better.”

Mets starting pitcher Nolan McLean allowed two runs over six innings and marked his 18th quality start of the season, tying for for fourth-most in the National League.

Game two of the series at Citi Field takes place Saturday. Giants (58-84) right-handed pitcher Anthony Molina (2-0, 3.77 ERA) will face Mets (64-77) left-handed pitcher Zac Thornton (3-4, 2.93). First pitch is at 1:10 p.m. PT.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: MLB 2027 Spring Training schedule-Optimistic or Ironic?

That’s Amaury News and Commentary:

MLB 2027 Spring Training schedule.  -Optimistic or Ironic?

Amaury Pi-González

This is the time of the year when teams release their Spring Training schedules for the next season. But this time, we all know the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between players and owners is set to expire on Tuesday, December 1 at 11:59 p.m. EST. One thing Insiders on both sides agree is that they believe the owners will impose a lockout by this deadline.

There is precedent from the labor dispute leading up to the 2022 season: the owners’ lockout freezes the off-season, and players do not strike; they are not permitted to work until an agreement is reached. In other words, the 2026 season will end (as it should) after the World Series, but (as explained before) that December 1 day is the key as of today to which way baseball is headed. Many analysts and fans expect an owners’ lockout this winter that could delay or disrupt spring training, much like the lockout did just a few years ago in 2022.

A delay or disruption to spring training next year would not be good. Baseball spring training in Arizona’s Cactus League generates an economic impact of nearly $ 1 billion for the state. In Florida, the economic impact is almost the same.

For many years I have visited Spring Training, mostly in Arizona. For most fans, as well as the baseball media, it is a regular yearly event (to visit and see their favorite teams getting ready for the season, where media can get access to the players much more easily than during the regular season, not only media but fans with mostly a relaxed, vacation feel; wherever is in the desert or by the beach, nevertheless it is work as most teams broadcast some of their games from Arizona and Florida, this is an integral part of baseball, a very difficult game of repetition and practice, where Spring Training is paramount during the preseason.

It would be unfortunate for baseball if this Spring Training is disrupted, as most teams have already released their schedules. So for us, with no decision to make on this salary cap fight between players and owners, let’s hope for the best outcome for the best of the game; after all, this is not 1856 when baseball was called “The National Pastime, today, with social media and all other things going on,it is like we are living in another galaxy.

My favorite Spring Training quote (below) comes from a gentleman who played his whole 19-year career with the Chicago Cubs, as he is known as “Mr Cub“. Inducted into the HOF at Cooperstown in 1977.

Quote:”Spring training means flowers, people coming outdoors, sunshine, optimism, and baseball. Spring training is a time to think about being young again.  -Ernie (Let’s Play Two) Banks.

Sacramento A’s game wrap: A’s Erase Early Deficit and Sink Mariners 7-4

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Sacramento A’s game wrap:

By Mauricio Segura

The Sacramento Athletics watched a one-run lead disappear almost as quickly as they built it, then chipped away until the Seattle Mariners was the team chasing the scoreboard. Zack Gelof opened the scoring with a solo homer to right-center, and the Green and Gold eventually turned an early two-run deficit into a 7-4 victory behind Lawrence Butler’s two-run single in the fifth and a pitching staff that struck out 18 Mariners.

Seattle answered Gelof’s homer with three runs in the bottom of the first. Randy Arozarena drew a walk and stole second before Julio Rodríguez doubled him home. Cal Raleigh followed with a ground-ball single to right that scored Rodríguez, and Lazaro Montes added a two-out RBI single to left for a 3-1 lead. Jack Perkins finally escaped by striking out Brock Rodden with the bases loaded.

The A’s cut the margin to 3-2 in the second after Jeff McNeil walked, Michael Stefanic singled and Brian Serven singled to load the bases. Alika Williams then grounded into a double play that scored McNeil. The Athletics challenged the play, but the call was upheld.

Perkins kept Seattle scoreless over the next two innings and finished with seven strikeouts in three innings. His previous three career appearances against the Mariners had all been in relief, and he had not issued a walk in 8.2 innings against them before this game. This time he issued five, yet kept the A’s close after the rough first inning.

The game swung in the fifth. Henry Bolte drew a one-out walk, Gelof singled him to third, then stole second. Butler followed with a two-out single to center that scored both runners and put the A’s ahead 4-3. Butler began play with an 11-game hitting streak, tied for the longest active run in the majors, and his third-inning single had already pushed that streak to 12 games. Bolte also stayed hot after recording the first two-homer game of his career in the previous contest.

Donovan Walton added another run in the sixth, batting for Stefanic and sending a solo homer to right-center. A hit-by-pitch to Serven and an on-field delay followed, and Mariners manager Dan Wilson was ejected by home-plate umpire James Hoye. Seattle answered in the bottom half when Arozarena doubled, Dominic Canzone singled and Rodríguez brought Arozarena home on a force-play grounder. Rodríguez also stole second in that inning, one of his three steals in the game.

The Athletics never gave Seattle the tying run. Scott Blewett worked two scoreless innings after Perkins and struck out four. Chris Roycroft surrendered Seattle’s fourth run, but Luis Medina followed with three strikeouts while recording four outs, and Hogan Harris struck out two in a scoreless ninth. The staff’s 18 strikeouts were spread across five pitchers, with Perkins supplying seven of them.

The A’s added breathing room in the eighth. McNeil singled and Walton walked before Max Muncy lined an RBI single to left, scoring McNeil for a 6-4 lead. Bolte then reached on an infield single after an umpire review overturned the original call. In the ninth, Jonah Heim doubled and McNeil doubled him home to finish the scoring. McNeil began the game batting .348 since the All-Star break, third best in the majors, and his two-hit performance kept that second-half surge moving.

Gelof’s first-inning homer was his 15th of the season, and his fifth-inning steal gave him 11 stolen bases. Butler finished with two hits and two RBI, while Bolte reached base three times with two singles and a walk. The A’s began the game 25-58 against Seattle since 2021 and had lost five straight season series to the Mariners, making this a useful step toward changing a matchup that has treated them poorly for years.

Friday’s second game starters for Sacramento’s RHP Kade Morris (0-1 ERA 9.82, 10 strikeouts) for Seattle RHP Logan Gilbert (11-8, 3.42 ERA, 166 strikeouts), first pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. Pacific.
