After Monday’s feckless failure, the San Francisco Giants started their Tuesday night game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on a better foot. A much better foot.
The Giants heard your criticisms after their red-hot offense went ice-cold on Friday, Sunday, and Monday. They listened, and they didn’t judge. Four pitches into the game, Heliot Ramos had one of the hardest-hit balls of the year for the Giants, scorching an Eduardo Rodríguez heater 113.6 mph and accomplishing the seemingly impossible: hitting an in-the-park ball over Alek Thomas’ head.

Arsenal opened their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Athletic Club, though the scoreline only tells half the story. Mikel Arteta’s side were made to work in Bilbao, yet decisive contributions from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard ensured a winning start in Europe.
Martinelli and Trossard change the game
Introduced in the second half, the pair altered the rhythm almost immediately.
Most Juventus fans didn’t think Dusan Vlahovic to be on the team at this point in the year. He was supposed to have left in the summer as his contract wound down.
Most Juve fans were praying that Lloyd Kelly wouldn’t be on the team at this point in the year. His horrible half-year stint in Turin after being acquired in January—especially considering how Dean Huijsen’s career exploded at the same time—had become a symbol of the mistakes made Cristiano Giuntoli during the ill-fated 2024-25 season.

Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase was fined for criticizing the officiating after their Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.
Nakase revealed the fine on Tuesday after practice, but did not disclose the amount — which is something the WNBA doesn’t announce, either. But Nakase stood by her comments.
“I said what I said,” Nakase said, via ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. “I’m always going to fight for my team when I feel that. The calls were the calls, and I got fined. So, you know, throwing in that donation, or whatever it is.
