New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara‘s first pitch ahead of Saturday’s St. Louis Cardinals–Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field was so bad that he got a rare do-over.
The five-time Pro Bowler sought immediate redemption after his botched first attempt landed on the edge of the infield grass and bounced into the left-handed batter’s box.
Kamara, a lifelong Cubs fan, was met with a wave of boos from the crowd at Wrigley during the pre-game festivities. The 29-year-old NFL veteran is in Chicago for NASCAR‘s Grant Park 165 street race on Sunday.
The Cardinals came back to top the Cubs 8-6, ending a four-game slide. Yohel Pozo pinch-hit a three-run homer to cap St. Louis’ five-run eight-inning rally. Nolan Gorman also went deep for the Cardinals, who rebounded after Michael Busch and Carson Kelly homered for the second straight day to help Chicago build a two-run lead after seven.

Steven Matz (5-2), the Cardinals’ second reliever, got five outs for the win. Ryan Helsley pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 17th save. St. Louis starter Matthew Liberatore allowed two runs on four hits in five innings.

The Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions have won the AFC and NFC North in each of the last two seasons, but can they keep that streak alive?The Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers each have a shot to challenge the Ravens. Both those teams are polar opposites as the Bengals sport a young, prolific offensive attack, while the Steelers rely on their defense and signed Aaron Rodgers to be a game-managing quarterback. The Cleveland Browns are in a rebuild period with a pair of exciting rookies — Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Lions' crown could be taken by the Green Bay Packers, who have made the playoffs in each of Jordan Love's first two seasons as the starter. Will the Minnesota Vikings use this season to develop J.J. McCarthy or contend for the division title like last season? And will […]
