Jun 21, 2025; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (23) celebrates after hitting a three-run home run during the seventh inning against the Kansas City Royals at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images Fernando Tatis Jr. broke open a close game Saturday with a three-run homer and the San Diego Padres evened their weekend series vs. the visiting Kansas City Royals, earning a 5-1 win.
Tatis broke a streak of 101 plate appearances without a homer, dating back to May 27, by lining a Taylor Clarke fastball an estimated 380 feet into the seats in left-center field with two outs. It was his 14th homer of the year, scoring Jose Iglesias and Bryce Johnson, who singled with one out.
Dylan Cease (3-6) picked up the win, allowing just three hits and a run in 6 2/3 innings, with three walks and four strikeouts. Noah Cameron (2-3) absorbed the loss, permitting two runs on five hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings while whiffing two.
San Diego initiated the scoring in the second. Gavin Sheets led off with a double to the wall in left-center and reached third on Xander Bogaerts’ single. Jake Cronenworth then hit into a fielder’s choice that scored Sheets.
The Royals tied it in the third when Drew Waters led off with a single and scored on John Rave’s double to right-center. But they failed to capitalize on a chance for a bigger inning. Maikel Garcia drew a two-out walk, but Vinnie Pasquantino grounded out to second, stranding men at second and third.
The Padres countered in their half of the third. After Martin Maldonado and Tatis worked one-out walks, Luis Arraez poked a single into center that scored Maldonado, putting them ahead for good.
Kansas City missed on a good opportunity in the fourth when Jac Caglianone was clipped by a pitch with one out and Mark Canha singled. But Waters lined out and Rave flied out, starting a stretch that saw Cease retire 10 of the last 11 men he faced before Jeremiah Estrada relieved him in the seventh.
Bogaerts finished with two hits, giving him 10 hits in his last 12 at-bats dating back to Wednesday night. He was the only player in the game with multiple hits.

If the internet/social media had existed during this game, it would have broken into a million pieces. This game had a little bit of everything.By 1968, the Lakers had lost six times, once in Minneapolis and five times in Los Angeles, to the Celtics in the finals, and twice in seven games (1962 and 1966). The Lakers had enough.In July 1968, Los Angeles acquired the game’s greatest force — Wilt Chamberlain, who led the league in rebounds and assists the previous season — and combined him with Baylor and West: the NBA’s first superteam.After dispatching the Hawks and Warriors, the Lakers were in the finals again against an aging Celtics dynasty that had finished fourth in the Eastern Division.By this time, Russell was in his second season as player-coach, and in 1968, his first season at the helm, Russell’s Celtics […]
England’s Harry Brook and his uneasy relationship with India
Perhaps it should not have come as too much of a surprise to see Mohammed Siraj aiming a verbal barrage at Harry Brook during his helter-skelter performance on his home ground.The dark art of sledging — usually bowlers letting batters know exactly what they think of them— is less common than it once was in these days of cricketers from opposing countries becoming more and more familiar with each other in franchise competitions.AdvertisementBut England’s white-ball captain is something of a rarity in having an uneasy relationship with the most powerful country in cricket, which was evident in Siraj’s outburst and India’s joyous celebrations when they dismissed him one run short of a century in the first Test.This was an eventful first Test innings against India for England’s gifted 26-year-old. There were spectacular shots in front of an appreciative Headingley audience […]
Zápas proti Belgii mě bavil víc než s Portugalskem, říká Hanušová. Ve čtvrtfinále cítí šanci
„Chtěly jsme Belgičanky porazit, abychom měly lepší pozici pro čtvrtfinále a hrály proti Němkám, takto jdeme na Španělky. Kdyby nám víc vyšla třetí čtvrtina a padly trojky, tak jsme klidně mohly vyhrát,“ přesvědčovala zkušená pivotka Alena Hanušová, s devíti body druhá nejproduktivnější česká hráčka zápasu po Veronice Voráčkové.Čtyřiatřicetiletá opora Brandýsu nad Labem Hanušová se vrátila do reprezentace po čtyřleté pauze a dokázala, že se stále neztratí ani na nejvyšší mezinárodní úrovni.„Trošku mě rozčiluje, že každý řeší můj věk, jsem sice nejstarší hráčka v české reprezentaci, ale v jiných týmech jsou i starší holky. Kdybych na to neměla, tak tady nejsem,“ zdůraznila rodačka ze Sokolova. Proti Belgii odehrála zatím své nejpovedenější utkání na turnaji a taky dostala jasně nejvyšší porci takřka osmnácti minut.„Tento zápas mě bavil třeba víc než ten proti Portugalkám. Odehrála jsem větší porci minut než proti nim, protože ty hrají na menší pivotky, Belgičanky jsou vyšší, […]
Houston Rockets have second-best NBA title odds at sportsbooks after Kevin Durant trade
Before Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals tipped off, the NBA world was stunned by a Kevin Durant blockbuster deal, sending him to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in next week's 2025 NBA draft and five second-round picks.It also sent a shockwave through the odds board at sportsbooks, as the Rockets moved from the 12-1 range to around +750 to win the 2025-26 NBA championship.
