Adolis García hit an opposite-field homer in the 11th inning, after Corey Seager’s tying two-run blast in the ninth, as the Texas Rangers opened this surprise World Series of wild-card teams with a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

With a three-quarters arm angle like a relief pitcher, Luka Doncic launched a high-arching hook that banked in for the game-winner against the Nets. “I don’t know how I made it,” he said.
Victor Wembanyama finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals and came up big late to help deliver the Spurs’ first win of the season.
The 49ers‘ secondary struggled to contain Jordan Addison on Monday night, as the Vikings’ rookie wide receiver broke out with the best game of his career to date. The USC alum totaled 123 yards on seven receptions with two touchdowns against San Francisco, forcing the 49ers defense to regroup this week heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Bengals.
ESPN’s NFL Live previewed the Cincinnati-San Francisco matchup Friday, and analyst Ryan Clark had an interesting comparison for the 49ers’ inability to contain Addison.
Thunder star Chet Holmgren believes he was shortchanged on the stat sheet in his team’s 108-105 road victory over the Cavaliers on Friday night.
Holmgren finished the game with 16 points, 13 rebounds and a franchise-record seven blocked shots. However, after the win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the No. 2 pick from the 2022 NBA draft jokingly tweeted at the NBA’s official account that his number of blocks was inaccurate in the box score.
“@nba please go watch the tape and give me the correct # of blocks.

The AlphaTauri driver is confident heading into qualifying
Friday’s two practice sessions ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix gave a few different teams, and drivers, some confidence ahead of qualifying on Saturday.
Among those? Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri. Ricciardo finished the second practice session on Friday in P6, ahead of Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes and just three-tenths of a second off Max Verstappen, who topped the timing sheets.

Home runs are bolts of lightning. They are slot machines that pay, winning scratch-off lottery tickets and a parking meter with time left on it. Sudden gratification. A jolt you don’t see coming.
Unless it was the game-tying, jaw-dropping home run Texas shortstop Corey Seager hit in the bottom of the ninth inning in World Series Game 1 Friday night. It was two days in the making. It took a perfect storm of preparation for this bolt to strike.
Nikola Jokic’s nearly 80-foot alley-oop pass was so good it fooled the camera person
There shouldn’t be much debate around Nikola Jokic anymore. The Nuggets center has long been acknowledged as the greatest passing big man of all-time. After leading Denver to its first NBA championship in franchise history last season, Jokic is now the consensus pick for the best player in the league. Still only 28 years old, Jokic is fully at the peak of his powers, and he’s doing amazing things every single time he takes the floor.
Ryan Clark, who may be the most insufferable personality at ESPN, is angry that Brady Quinn disrespected Deshaun Watson earlier this week — just months after Clark himself called Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa a fat stripper on national TV.
Oh yeah, Clark also pulled out his handy-dandy ESPN race card and pretty much accused Brady Quinn of being racist towards Watson because he dared question why the Browns QB isn’t playing right now.
That’s called hitting all the right notes, folks. ESPN must be so damn proud this morning.
