SAN JOSE–Bay FC returned to PayPal Park on Saturday night as they hosted Kayla Sharples and the league-leading Kansas City Current. The Current got goals from Michelle Cooper at the 45th minute and Temwa Chawinga at the 90 + 2 minute to shutout Bay FC 2-0 on Saturday.
New acquisition Sydney Collins was in the starting eleven for the first time since joining Bay, while Kelli Hubly was honored pregame for her 100th career game.
Both teams started out the game with physicality but it was Kansas City who had a great opportunity in the 12th minute. The attack forced Jordan Silkowitz to make a save then moments later, defender Joelle Anderson made a goal-line save of her own. Moments later, Silkowitz was forced to make another save which went out for a corner.
VAR stopped the play shortly after Maddie Moreau was taken down inside of the box, however upon review it was determined that there was no foul on the play.
Kansas City were getting quite a few shots, but they were all either off target or being saved by Silkowitz early on. Rocky Rodriguez was shown the game’s first yellow card in the 40th minute.
Kansas City took the lead in the 45th minute with a goal off the foot of Michelle Cooper. The Current would carry that 1-0 lead into halftime.
Bia Zaneratto nearly made it 2-0 with a shot from inside of the box, but it had just too much on it, as it went above the crossbar. Tess Boade had a similar chance in the 63rd minute that ended with the same result.
Silkowitz made a diving save to deny the Current in the 66th minute and she was called upon again in the 76th minute. Rachel Hill was shown Bay FC’s first card of the night in the 78th minute.
Bay’s attack really started to come alive around the 80th minute, but they still couldn’t get the ball into the net.
Temwa Chawinga added an insurance goal in stoppage time, and Kansas City walked away with a 2-0 win.

Brigham Young shut Stanford out for three quarters Saturday, as the Cougars defeated the visiting Cardinal 27-3 in non-conference football at Provo, Utah.
The Cougars (2-0) outgained Stanford (0-2) 332 yards to 161 yards in total offense, and collected 18 first downs to the Cardinal’s 12.
BYU opened the scoring with 3:25 left in the first quarter on a three yard touchdown run by Bear Bachmeier. Will Ferrin booted field goals of 36 and 30 yards out in the second quarter. The Cougars added a safety with 5:14 left in the half, and BYU took a 20-0 lead into halftime.
Ferrin kicked a 21-yard field goal with 8:56 remaining in the third quarter, and just over five minutes later, Stone Moa ran in from eight yards out, boosting BYU’s lead to 24-0 after three periods.
Stanford got on the board hen Emmet Kenney kicked a 26 yard field goal with 10:31 to play in the fourth quarter. Ferrin added his fourth field goal of the night, this one from 23 yards to complete the scoring with 6:33 remaining.

Going into the ninth inning the San Francisco Giants (72-70) were looking good leading 2-0 with ace closer Ryan Walker on the mound. Walker had not allowed a run in his last ten appearances. The St. Louis Cardinals (71-72) offense woke up in the ninth inning with four hits scoring three runs and coming away with the walk-off 3-2 Saturday night at Busch Stadium.
The most disappointing of all was that the Giants could have pulled to within three games of the current third wild game which right now appears to be the New York Mets. New York lost to the Reds today so San Francisco did not lose any ground but could have made up some precious ground. It was a real heart-breaker..
Game recap: The first three innings of Saturday night’s game were quiet. San Francisco pitcher Justin Verlander had a lengthy 24 pitch first inning giving up a single before settling in and going three and out through the third inning. Neither team had much going on offensively until the fourth inning.
San Francisco got up on the scoreboard in the fourth inning scoring two runs. Casey Schmitt sacrificed Dominic Smith home for the early 1-0 lead. They extended their lead when Drew Gilbert doubled and Matt Chapman scored from third base for a 2-0 lead.
Justin Verlander kept the Cardinals off the scoreboard pitching through six scoreless innings. He had an exceptional game allowing three hits, no runs, no walks with six punch-outs. He was relieved in the seventh inning by Joey Lucchesi who breezed through the seventh.
With only two more innings left in the game, the Giants needed an insurance run or two and the long ball was strangely silent. Neither team had been hitting in this pitcher’s duel; fvie hits for San Francisco and three for St. Louis.
San Francisco took the 2-0 lead into the top of the ninth inning. The Giants had done a great job limiting the Cardinals hits only allowing five hits in game one and Saturday night only three through eight innings.
San Francisco went down one, two, three and now faced the heart of the St. Louis lineup in the bottom of the ninth inning. They would be looking to Ryan Walker to close out this game and take a 2-0 series lead.
Walker has not allowed a run in his last ten outings so a lot of hope was pinned on this guy. It was a shaky start for Walker allowing a Nolan Gorman single followed by a Masyn Winn single and the tying run was aboard and the go-ahead run was at the plate.
The Cardinals Jimmy Crooks was hit by a pitch and the bases were loaded with no outs. The Cardinals had a golden opportunity to turn this game around. St. Louis picked just the perfect time to start hitting.
They went into the inning with only three hits but finished the game with seven hits. With the bases loaded St. Louis were not about to let this game go. Thomas Saggese singled Gorman home and they topped this game off with a Jordan Walker double that drove Winn and Hampson home and that was the ball game.
The Cardinals had pulled off the walk-off after trailing for the entire game 3-2. San Francisco held for eight innings but it all fell apart in the ninth inning.
This was a heart breaking loss for the Giants after such an amazing run cutting short their home run streak as well as their five-game winning streak. They have now won 11 of their last 13 games hoping to come back strong tomorrow in game three to win the series.
The one bit of good news is that the Mets dropped their game to the Reds Saturday. San Francisco did not lose any ground but a win would have meant a lot. They will hopefully turn this all around in Sunday’s game three.
Game notes: Saturday evening the Giants battled the St. Louis Cardinals in game two of their three game series after winning game one Friday night 8-2 and losing Saturday night 3-2. Every game going forward is critical.
They are not far off for that third wild game despite many claiming they are out of the hunt. The way that this team has been playing all bets are off. The Giants trail the Mets by four games with 21 games left in the season.
San Francisco just needs to take care of their own business and they just might see some action in October. The New York Mets have a tough schedule to close out the season although the Giants remaining schedule is far from easy .
It’s just that the Mets schedule is a bear. The way the Giants had been playing right now they have certainly set the stage for one amazing finish. They are regarded right now as one of the hottest teams in the majors. The Giants who lost to the Cardinals Saturday didn’t lose any ground in the Wild Card race are still four games for the last wild card spot.
San Francisco will send Kai-Wei Teng (2-3 ERA 7.23) to the mound Sunday who had a great outing in his last game Monday against Colorado. The Giants will need more of the same from Teng. The Cardinals will start Sonny Gray who comes into this game with a 12-8 win/loss record and a 4.43 ERA. First pitch for game three is scheduled for 11:15 AM deciding the series.

A’s Bats Break Out in Anaheim as Butler and Bleday Power Past Angels 10-4
By Mauricio Segura
For a club that has spent too many nights watching its offense sputter, the Sacramento Athletics finally flipped the script in Anaheim. What began as a sloppy first inning on both sides quickly turned into a showcase of the Green and Gold’s young power core, capped by Lawrence Butler’s ninth-inning blast and JJ Bleday’s statement swing in the third.
By the end of the Friday night, the A’s walked off with a 10-4 win that reminded everyone why they still rank among the league’s most dangerous lineups since the All-Star break.
The early frames hardly suggested excitement Rookie starter Mason Barnett, making just his second big league appearance, immediately found himself in a mess. After Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers, and Brent Rooker all walked to load the bases before a single out, Tyler Soderstrom’s grounder produced both a double play and the game’s first run.
Jacob Wilson followed with a sharp RBI single, giving Sacramento a 2-0 cushion. Barnett promptly gave it right back. He hit Zach Neto, walked Mike Trout, and watched Yoán Moncada and Luis Rengifo chip away. By the time Oswald Peraza lifted a sac fly, the Angels led 4-2 and Barnett had already thrown 40 stressful pitches. For a rookie trying to settle in, it looked like another long night.
But Sacramento’s offense, which entered the day leading the majors in doubles and ranking among the top five in OPS since the break, had other plans. In the third, the lineup erupted. Langeliers singled, Soderstrom followed, and Wilson worked a walk to load the bases.
Butler chopped a single to first to drive in a run, and Zack Gelof’s liner tied the game. A wild pitch pushed Sacramento back on top, setting the stage for Bleday’s thunderclap. The outfielder launched his 13th homer of the year into the left-field seats, a three-run shot that turned Angel Stadium into a library. Suddenly, it was 8-4, and the A’s never looked back.
The inning wasn’t done. Darell Hernaiz singled, stole a base, and eventually scored when Rooker wore a pitch with the bases loaded. Nine runs through three innings was more than enough for manager Mark Kotsay’s bullpen, which has been the club’s strongest unit for months.
Relievers Justin Sterner, Elvis Alvarado, and Michael Kelly combined for six scoreless innings, racking up strikeouts while keeping Trout and company swinging through air. It was the exact type of performance the organization envisioned when rebuilding the relief corps after Mason Miller’s departure earlier in the year.
From there, the only drama came in Butler’s final at-bat. Leading off the ninth, the 24-year-old belted his 19th homer, a shot to dead center that punctuated the Battle of Anaheim. Butler’s glove has been steady all season, ranking among the league’s best in outfield putouts, but his bat has lagged. If this swing sparks a September surge, Sacramento will happily take it.
There were other encouraging signs. Kurtz, the rookie phenom leading all first-year players in home runs, RBIs, and walks, reached base three more times. Wilson, who tops all rookies in hits and batting average, delivered again with two big swings.
Langeliers, who has been an extra-base hit machine since the break, kept the line moving with two more knocks. When the Athletics get contributions from all three, the lineup lengthens in a way that forces pitchers into mistakes.
The win pushed Sacramento to 65-77, still lodged in the cellar of the AL West but showing glimpses of a club better than its record. They have now scored 96 first-inning runs this year, second most in the majors, and continue to play spoiler with power. More importantly, they shook off a disastrous start from their rookie pitcher without ever looking rattled, a trait that bodes well for the final stretch.
For the Angels, the frustration deepens. Trout went hitless with two strikeouts, Moncada fanned twice, and their pitching staff unraveled under the weight of walks and wild pitches. By the late innings, the game felt less like a rivalry clash and more like a showcase for Sacramento’s next wave.
The A’s will try to build on the outburst with RHP J.T. Ginn (2-6 ERA 5.17) set to start on Saturday. If the lineup carries over the same swagger, Anaheim could be in for another long night. The Angels will start LHP Yusei Kikuchi (6-10 ERA 3.83).

San Francisco Giants Willy Adames takes a look at his home run ball’s flight against the St Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St Louis on Fri Aug 5, 2025 (AP News photo)
By Barbara Mason
Every single player on the San Francisco Giant’s (72-69) roster had hits in their 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals (70-72) in game one of their three game series Friday. Jung Hoo Lee had four hits and Patrick Bailey with three hits and on top of that the Giants also hit two more home runs in the first inning off the bats of Rafael Devers and Willy Adames. They finished the game with 18 hits.
The Giants continue to improve their play now three games over .500 although they have something like an 11% chance of making the playoffs and are four games back for the last Wild Card spot.
This current turnaround unfortunately came a bit too late because right now they are playing lights out. The Cardinals were also in the hunt but their chances have also diminished. The Giants are playing crazy good baseball right now but despite that according to FanGraphs they have almost a 5% chance to make the playoff.
Depending who you believe whether it be 5 % or 11%, the odds are not in the Giants favor. What a shame they could not have turned the season around earlier but it is what it is. All that is out of their control right now and their playing the best ball that they can and let the chips fall where they may.
While it will probably turn out badly, they have to be very proud of the way they are playing right now. The Giants took the first game of this three game series. Giants starter Carson Seymour pitched five innings allowed two hits, one run, one walk and two strikeouts.
The Giants’ Devers and Adames made sure that streak would live another day. Devers hit the first of two home runs in the first inning, a solo shot to center for a 1-0 lead. Adames followed that hit with a home run of his own for a 2-0 lead, another solo to center keeping center fielder Victor Scott II busy watching the ball fly into the stands. It was a great start for San Francisco, not so much for the Cardinals.
San Francisco Giants took the 2-0 lead into the fourth inning where they unleashed a barrage of runs taking a 6-0 lead. Drew Gilbert drove in the first run hitting a sacrifice driving Jung Hoo Lee home taking a 3-0 lead.
Patrick Bailey and Devers both hit singles in the inning driving in two more runs. Casey Schmitt and Patrick Bailey both scored runs on those hits and the Giants were looking great with a 5-0 lead. They would tack one more run on when Adames grounded into a fielders choice driving in Heliot Ramos and San Francisco had a 6-0 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning.
St. Louis pitcher Michael McGreevy had a rough time in the four innings he pitched. He gave up nine hits, six earned runs, one walks and only three strikeouts. He was relieved in the fifth inning by Gordon Graceffo.
The Cardinals finally made it up on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth inning. They scored a single run off a Scott II single driving in Jimmy Crooks but St. Louis had a whole lot more work to do in this game trailing 1-6.
The Giants took the 6-1 lead into the top of the seventh inning. Matt Chapman started off the inning with a single followed by a Jung Hoo Lee triple allowing Chapman to score and the hits just kept on coming. Now leading 7-1, Casey Schmitt singled driving in Lee for an 8-1 tally with no outs. Gilbert fouled out and Ramos hit into a double play to end the inning and this game went into the bottom of the seventh inning.
San Francisco’s Tristan Beck took over on the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning. San Francisco starting pitcher Carson Seymour had a great showing going five innings allowing only two hits, one earned run, one walk with two strikeouts. He was relieved in the sixth inning by Matt Gage before Beck took over in the seventh. Beck got the Giants out of the inning and it was on to the eighth.
With two outs in the eighth inning that Giants were threatening to add to their score loading the bases with Schmitt at the plate. Unfortunately Schmitt struck out and San Francisco had missed a great opportunity put more runs on the board.
The Cardinals hit a solo home run in the eighth inning cutting the Giants lead to 8-2 but they were three outs away from losing the game in the ninth inning. Jimmy Crooks struck out swinging, Thomas Saggese flied out and Jordan Walker struck for the third out and that was the ball game with the Giants taking game one 8-2.
San Francisco finished the game with 18 hits. while the Cardinals had only five. There was some great offensive play going on for the Giants in this game. Beck finished the three final innings only allowing two hits and one run.
The two teams will meet up Saturday night in game two with first pitch scheduled for 4:15 PM. Justin Verlander will be on the mound for the Giants with a 3-10 win/loss record and a 4.29 ERA. The Cardinals Andre Pallante will start in game two with a 6-13 win/loss record and a 5.38 ERA.

A’s Baseball podcast Lincoln Juarez:
#1 The A’s opened up the final month of the regular season losing two of three in St. Louis to the Cardinals. The offense could only come up with one run in each of the final two games.
#2 Luis Severino threw five shut-out innings Tuesday night in St. Louis but the A’s eventually fell to the Cardinals 2-1. He only allowed three hits as well.
#3 Jeffrey Springs also pitched very well Wednesday night in the A’s 5-1 loss to the Cardinals, allowing just two runs on five hits while striking out four.
#4 Looking ahead to the weekend, the A’s are in Anaheim for a three game set against the Angels and at this point it just seems like they are trying to get through the last month of the season however they can and build onto next year.
#5 The A’s putting out on social media some footage of walls being put up at the stadium site in Las Vegas saying, “We’re going vertical”. Interesting to see the progress being made out at the site.

The Valkyries first season also set another WNBA record for the most wins by expansion team with the most wins at 23 and selling out all of their first 21 home game and counting thus far. The Valkyries had averaged their attendance at 18,064 per game which marks them the highest in the WNBA.

Las Vegas Aces A’Ja Wilson (22) drives on the Minnesota Lynx Napheesa Collier (24) first quarter at the T Mobile Center in Las Vegas Thu Sep 4, 2025 (Getty photo)
By Rich Perez
LAS VEGAS–The opening quarter in this game was a mix of ties and lead changes but the Las Vegas Aces (26-14) really turned it on in the second quarter and never looked back in the second half of play winning the game 97-87 beating the Minnesota Lynx (32-8). This was their 13th straight win over the number one team in the WNBA. A’Ja Wilson had the team high finishing with 31 points.
It was crazy opening quarter of basketball with the lead rotating back and forth in a wildly competitive game. With under a minute left in the first quarter the game was tied at 24. As the quarter came to an end Las Vegas had taken a 26-24 lead.
The Aces were shooting at a 63% clip and the Lynx at almost 59%. The turnovers were kept at a minimum by both teams. Wilson already was shooting in double digit with ten points. This game could not have been closer. Both Wilson and Jackie Young had great starts with Young hitting her first three shots taken which included a couple of shots from the line. After the first ten minutes of play Las Vegas had a slim 26-24 lead.
The Aces came into this game ready and focused as evidenced in the first quarter. Mid-way through the second quarter Las Vegas had a 37-33 lead. The Aces needed more from not only their starters but also from their bench.
Both teams had their foot firmly on the pedal in this hotly contested game. So far Wilson and Young had carried the load for the Aces. After two quarters the Las Vegas Aces had a 47-44 lead. Wilson finished the first half with 17 points and Young with 12 points.
The only Lynx player with double digits was Courtney Williams with 10 points. Both teams had played a pretty clean game with only 6 turnovers for the Aces and 5 from Minnesota. Las Vegas had more bench points, more rebounds as well as more points from the line.
The Aces knew they had to show up for this game and that is exactly what they did. After the horrendous loss back in early August Wilson had said “that will NEVER happen again.” She held true to her word in the first half. The Aces had a nice opening quarter but really picked it up in the second quarter in this action-packed thriller.
The Aces had really put the stops on Napheesa Collier who is the WNBA’s leading scorer who only had seven points in the first half. Las Vegas took a 63-55 lead mid-way through the third quarter as they continued to fight hard.
After taking a pretty nice lead, the Lynx went on a bit of a run cutting the Aces lead to 63-62. The Las Vegas defense faltered in the closing minutes of the quarter leaving the basket unguarded resulting in six points.
This was a break-down they could not afford. The pick and roll was a key play for the Lynx down the stretch. Too many missed shots were really hurting the Aces. Las Vegas did get it rolling as the quarter came to an end taking a 70-66 lead.
Going into the fourth quarter, the Aces needed to pay attention to detail and put a stop to defensive lapses. Two minutes into the quarter Las Vegas had taken a ten-point lead 76-66. The Lynx came roaring back cutting the Vegas lead in half 76-71.
Five minutes into the quarter, the Aces had pushed their lead back out to ten leading 81-71. A time-out was called by the Lynx at 4:42 when the Aces took their largest lead of the game 85-72. Las Vegas hung onto the lead winning the game 97-87 for their 13th win in a row. What an incredible stretch for the Aces.
The Aces Wilson finished with the team high of 31 points. Young had 20 points and Chelsea Gray finished with 13 points. The Aces had to fight in this game defensively and stumbled here and there but did a pretty good job when push came to shove.
This team is headed for a great finish on the season; they are on a high and they want to continue this run next Sunday at home. There were no mental breakdowns in this game as Las Vegas hung onto the lead for most of the game.
Game notes: It’s no secret that the Aces are on an amazing roll right now. They have now won 13 games in a row beating some of the best teams in the WNBA. They for sure have a huge bullseye on their back. There is one team, however, that has made life pretty miserable for the Aces this season and that is the first place Minnesota Lynx (32-8)
They have met three times this season losing every game. Back in mid-June they lost 76-52, a 14-point loss and it just got more lop-sided with every ensuing game. In late July they lost to Minnesota 109-78, a 31 point loss and then a total disaster in early August a blow-out 111-58 giving up a WNBA record losing by 53 points.
It was Minnesota’s biggest road win in history. Thursday night they got a breakthrough with a win over the Lynx. They are playing some of their best basketball of the season but in this game they brought their A-game with little to no room for error. This was the last meeting in the regular season before going into the post-season where the Lynx are highly favored to walk away with the championship.
They have a solid starting roster and shoot equally well in the paint and from beyond the arc. They are a threat from anywhere on the court and the Aces need to get a quick start in this game. They will have their fan base behind them playing at T-Mobile Arena.
The Las Vegas Aces will remain at home taking on the Chicago Sky this Sunday at T-Mobile Arena. Tipoff for this game is scheduled for 6:00 PM.
