ATLANTA (AP) — Alex Verdugo’s single off Andrew Chafin drove in Eli White from second base in the bottom of the ninth and the Atlanta Braves recovered after blowing a two-run lead to beat Washington 4-3 on Monday night and hand the Nationals their sixth consecutive loss.
White led off the ninth with a single off Jackson Rutledge (0-1) before advancing to second on Nick Allen’s sacrifice. Verdugo’s game-ending single up the middle drove in White.
Grant Holmes allowed one run and four hits, including a fourth-inning homer by James Wood, in 6 1/3 innings.

Charles Barkley is without a doubt one of the best power forwards to ever grace the game of basketball. The Hall of Famer’s personal accolades throughout what was a decorated 16-year NBA career serve as a testament to this fact.
Barkley has also done extremely well for himself in his post-NBA career as well. These days, he’s widely considered one of the top talents in sports broadcasting, having made his mark alongside Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the “Inside the NBA” crew through the years.
One thing Barkley does not excel in, however, is golf.

Australian cricketers will weigh up whether they return to India for the remainder of the Indian Premier League season after the BCCI announced the tournament would resume this weekend during a ceasefire in the conflict between India and Pakistan.
The IPL was suspended on Friday night amid heightened tensions between the neighbouring countries and many of the Australians involved in the tournament have since returned home.

The past few weeks have been an eventful time for Simone Biles, and it just keeps getting better.
In late April, Biles made headlines after she was honored at the Laureus World Sports Awards and TIME100 gala, receiving the Sportswoman of the Year honor and Impact Award, respectively.
Then, early this May, she was seen attending the Kentucky Derby and the 2025 Met Gala with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens. The two even trended online for their matching and coordinated outfits in both events.

It’s been a good day of work, but it’s still a Monday. Time to wind down and watch some sports.
It hit me when I went to look up the score for the Boston Red Sox, and then I remembered: it’s still Monday. And I’m not the only one it’s affecting.
First, the final score was 14-2 – 14-2! – in a series-opening matchup with the red-hot Detroit Tigers.
Boston’s starting pitcher Tanner Houck had a miserable night. Below is his stat line after 2.1 innings:
Yup, it’s a Monday alright.
It’s a heavyweight matchup of star power in Queens as Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates face the New York Mets on Monday, with former LSU superstar Livvy Dunne in tow.
Dunne, the major TikTok star and former Tigers gymnast, was at Citi Field for the Pirates’ face-off to support Skenes’ pitching performance and cheer on Sports Illustrated models invited for the ceremonial first pitch.
Much like Skenes, Dunne was serving pure heat on the diamond.
The NBA Draft is rigged — or so says the buzz dominating social media now that the Dallas Mavericks have secured the No. 1 pick and the keys to Cooper Flagg, the projected generational talent.
For much of the 2024-25 season, fans and pundits hammered the Mavericks’ front office, questioning why GM Nico Harrison would even entertain trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers for scraps.
The Mavericks, who finished with a 39-43 record before a play-in tournament exit, seemed poised for a small bid at the top prize of the draft … but with no real statistical shot. That is, until they got it.
Journalism, the favorite at this year’s Kentucky Derby and runner-up to Sovereignty, was installed as the 8-5 morning-line favorite for the 150th Preakness Stakes on Monday night. There will be no Triple Crown this year, as Sovereignty won’t be a part of the nine-horse Preakness field. Journalism drew the No. 2 post.
Sandman (4-1) has the second-best morning-line odds out of the No. 7 post, followed by River Thames (9-2, post No. 6) and Clever Again (5-1, post No. 8). Pay Billy (post No. 5) and Gosger (post No. 9) have the longest odds at 20-1.
