The last of the victories in the hot start was a 9-7 decision over the Miami Marlins on April 4, a contest decided on a two-run single by Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth inning.</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>The Yankees also scored four times in the eighth on April 7 to beat the A’s on Amed Rosario’s three-run homer. New York then lost five straight before splitting a four-game series this week against the Los Angeles Angels, where both wins were walk-offs.</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>In the series opener against Kansas City on Friday, New York earned a 4-2 victory thanks to Ryan McMahon coming through with his biggest hit of the season. After spending most of the game taking swings in the batting cage, McMahon entered on defense at third base for Rosario after the seventh and delivered a tiebreaking two-run homer with two outs in the eighth against Alex Lange.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>“You get excited for people,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It was a huge, huge at-bat obviously. I think he was hitting for about the whole game down underneath, so obviously ready for it. Put a good swing on it on a crazy night.”</p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>The homer was McMahon’s sixth hit in 43 at-bats (.140) this season — and the previous five hits were singles.</p> </section><section id="section-8"> <p>McMahon, a left-handed batter, may come off the bench again in the next two games since the Yankees are opposing lefties Noah Cameron and Cole Ragans. Rosario, a right-handed hitter, is a career .297 batter off left-handed pitching, though he is 3-for-14 (.214) this season off southpaws.</p> </section><br/><section id="section-9"> <p>The Royals are coming off another close defeat. They have dropped five straight and are 2-8 in their past 10 games.</p> </section> <section id="section-10"> <p>Following the two-run homer allowed by Lange, they own a 6.08 ERA bullpen ERA, second worst in the majors.</p> </section><section id="section-11"> <p>“I feel like when you fall behind guys, bad things happen,” Lange said. “Those hitters are really good. It (stinks) going out there and blowing a game. You feel like you let the boys down and they’ve been battling their ass off all year.”</p> </section><section id="section-12"> <p>Vinnie Pasquantino drove in both Kansas City runs and hit a tying homer in the eighth before McMahon went deep in the bottom half. Bobby Witt Jr. went hitless in four at-bats and is 5-for-23 (.217) in his past six games.</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>Will Warren, coming off his shortest start this season, will start for the Yankees on Saturday. Warren (1-0, 2.45 ERA) allowed four runs, all unearned, on three hits in 3 2/3 innings and took a no-decision on Monday when the Yankees earned an 11-10 victory over the Angels.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>The right-hander’s only career start against the Royals was a no-decision in New York’s 1-0 victory at Kansas City last June 12.

Deadspin | Sei Young Kim grabs lead at midpoint of LA Championship Jun 20, 2025; Frisco, Texas, USA; Sei Young Kim plays her shot from the sixth tee during the second round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Mandatory Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images World No. 10 Sei Young Kim of South Korea carded a bogey-free 7-under-par 65 on Friday and took a one-shot lead after two rounds at the JM Eagle LA Championship in Tarzana, Calif. Kim sits at 14-under 130 at El Caballero Country Club, just ahead of first-round leader Chizzy Iwai of Japan. Coming off a course-record-tying 63 on Thursday, Iwai carded a 68 on Friday, leaving her at 13 under. South Korea’s Ina Yoon holds third place at 12 under following a 64. Tied for fourth at 9 under are Melanie Green and South Korea’s Jin Hee Im, who each shot 68 on Friday, and Jessica Porvasnik, who logged a 69. Jenny Bae (second-round 68), Japan’s Minami Katsu (69), Australia’s Hannah Green (69) and Thailand’s Suvichaya Vinijchaitham (71) are level at 8 under, tied for seventh. Kim birdied two of the first three holes and was 2 under at the turn. She then reeled off five birdies in a seven-hole span on the back nine. “Little less windy today, because yesterday (it was a) very dry golf condition because (I started in the) afternoon,” Kim said. “So today … I can attack to the pin more than yesterday.” Kim owns 13 career LPGA victories, but just one in the past six years, at the BMW Ladies Championship last October. “This course (offers) a lot of the opportunity if you play well, so I think some players or couple players (will) play good and we’ll see, yeah, what’s going on,” Kim said. “Yeah, (I) like my position so I just want to keep (moving) forward (the) next two days.” Iwai had another good round, albeit nowhere near as good as her first-round 63. She had two birdies and one bogey through the first 12 holes, then added three birdies in a four-hole stretch starting at No. 13. “My front nine, I didn’t make … short birdie putts, but my driver and my second shot was all consistent, my swing,” Iwai said. “Yeah, my shot is pretty good.” Yoon charged into contention with a sizzling start to her round, making seven birdies and two pars on the back nine. She then played the front nine and cooled off, adding only one more birdie in a bogey-free day. “First nine holes was awesome,” Yoon said. “I never shoot 29 for nine hole in my life. It was unbelievable. “The back nine was little bummer, but I had pretty good shot on the back nine as well. Some tricky putts on there. I made some. But it was good overall.” –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Sei #Young #Kim #grabs #lead #midpoint #ChampionshipJun 20, 2025; Frisco, Texas, USA; Sei Young Kim plays her shot from the sixth tee during the second round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Deadspin | Red Sox halt Tigers’ win streak on walk-off hit in 10th Apr 17, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (55) delivers a pitch during the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images Masataka Yoshida knocked a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 10th inning, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 1-0 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series. Yoshida’s hit through the right side of the infield drove in Jarren Duran, the automatic runner on second base to begin the extra frame who advanced to third on a wild pitch by Detroit reliever Will Vest (1-3). After starter Ranger Suarez tossed eight innings of two-hit ball, Red Sox relievers Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock (1-1) each pitched scoreless frames. Suarez did not allow a hit after the first inning and retired the final 13 batters he faced. Chapman gave up a pair of hits in the ninth, including a leadoff single by Javier Baez, who was then caught stealing. After Kevin McGonigle’s fielder’s choice and a Jones double into the left field corner, Dillon Dingler struck out to end the threat. Whitlock dealt a 1-2-3 10th. Jahmai Jones went 2-for-4 with a double and starter Casey Mize struck out seven in 6 2/3 scoreless innings for Detroit, which was on a six-game win streak but lost its ninth straight road game. Both teams recorded just four hits. Suarez worked around back-to-back hits to post a scoreless first, as a relay from the outfield cut down Jones trying to stretch a one-out hit into a double — thanks to a successful challenge overturning a safe call — before Dingler struck out to end the frame. The Red Sox, meanwhile, were held hitless until Connor Wong’s two-out, ground-rule double deep to the center-field triangle in the third. Mize struck out three across the first two innings and induced an inning-ending double play in the fourth. Caleb Durbin’s leadoff double into the left field corner started Boston’s sixth, but he was stranded on third as two fly balls and a strikeout. Duran’s two-out single in the seventh chased Mize, though Kyle Finnegan stranded the inherited runner in scoring position following a stolen base. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Red #Sox #halt #Tigers #win #streak #walkoff #hit #10thApr 17, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (55) delivers a pitch during the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.

Dabang Delhi TTC will field an entirely new coaching set-up, with Czech Republic’s Petr David, a three-time Czech men’s doubles champion and two-time mixed doubles champion, joining Indian tactician Srivatsa Chakravarthy.

The franchise-based league, promoted by Niraj Bajaj and Vita Dani under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India, will continue to showcase top-tier coaching talent, with a blend of continuity and fresh faces across teams. Matches will be streamed on JioHotstar and broadcast on the Star Sports network.

Commenting on the coaching line-ups, Butterfly UTT co-promoter Vita Dani said: “It’s exciting to see such a strong blend of continuity and fresh perspectives across teams this season.

Coaches are central to how teams prepare, adapt and perform, and this mix of experienced names and new entrants will raise the overall level of competition. We’re looking forward to another closely fought season with high-quality table tennis.”
