There’s been no hotter player in all of baseball of late than Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez. The 22-year-old has been virtually impossible for opposing pitchers to get out over the past few games, and he added to his red-hot run on Saturday.
Entering the weekend tilt against the Astros, Rodríguez had reached base on 13 of his last 16 at-bats. With a first-inning single in Houston, which was followed by a swift steal of second base, Seattle’s star slugger improved to 14-for-17 over the course of four games.

Former NBA player Royce White says he wants answers and an investigation into what caused the deadly wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
White appeared in three career NBA Games (which is three more than you ever played in). He now plays in the BIG3 basketball league and is also running for the US Senate.
The former Sacramento King posts a lot of videos on his Instagram in which he discusses politics. In one of these videos, he demanded an investigation into what the Maui wildfires take place.
Phillies star Trea Turner put on a show during the eighth inning of Saturday’s clash against the Nationals.
The NL East rivalry was knotted up at 3–3 during the eighth frame, that is until Turner started off a huge inning with a solo shot against his former team. Philadelphia’s lineup didn’t step off the gas after Turner’s home run, and they managed to blow open the game during the inning.
Turner came up to bat for a second time in the eighth inning, with the Phillies leading 10–3 at that point.
Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander has been fined $43,709 by the NFL for an illegal use of his helmet in the team’s preseason game last week against the Buccaneers, according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The amount, while glaring at first glance, is the league’s standard fine for a second offense.
Alexander was flagged during the game for what appears to be a form tackle on Tampa Bay running back Chase Edmonds, but it was still rather shocking to see him slapped with a fine for the play.
The Dolphins’ third-round pick had been seeing plenty of buzz in training camp.
Pete Alonso sent Cardinals infielder Masyn Winn an autographed bat and a bottle of Don Julio 1942 as a apology after the Mets first baseman tossed the ball from Winn’s first major league hit into the crowd on Friday at Busch Stadium.
Winn, who was called up from the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds on Friday, notched an infield single in the fifth inning. Typically, when a player earns his first MLB hit, the ball is removed from the game and given to the player, but Alonso lobbed it into the crowd.

Scottie Scheffler made four birdies on Olympia Fields’ back nine, thus sending him to the top of the BMW Championship and FedEx Cup rankings.
Scottie Scheffler certainly looked like the number-one ranked player in the world Saturday.
His 6-under 64 vaulted him to the top of the BMW Championship leaderboard, as he and Matthew Fitzpatrick sit at 11-under through 54 holes.
Scheffler started his round with back-to-back birdies at the par-5 1st and par-4 2nd.
Bryce Young will be one of the shortest quarterbacks ever to play in the NFL.
Despite the fact that the Carolina Panthers drafted him No. 1 overall this year, many scouts and talking heads have expressed concern about the rookie QB’s stature.
Is he too small for the NFL?
So that’s why it was especially funny when a New York Giants’ staffer accidentally trolled him about his height during Friday’s post-game press conference at MetLife Stadium.
“How’s this?” the employee asked in reference to the microphone. “I’m 5’9.
ESPN reporter and former USWNT player Julie Foudy managed to avoid disaster when the cardboard box she was riding down a hill at the Little League World Series nearly ran over several children.
And it was hilarious… knowing everyone is alright, of course.
Foudy has become a perennial fixture of ESPN’s Little League World Series coverage. She’s usually tasked with talking to kids’ parents and doing fun quasi-bits if there’s a blowout unfolding.
She does a great job every year, but this idea had “potential disaster” written all over it.
