Josh Jung delivered a special Mother’s Day gift to his mom, Mary. The Texas Rangers third baseman hit a two-out, two-run homer in the fifth inning of a 6-1 win over Detroit on Sunday.
Jung’s brother, Jace, was in the Tigers‘ lineup at the same position. Before the game, Mary Jung delivered the game ball to the mound and her sons joined her on the field.
“My heart is just exploding. I mean, I couldn’t ask for a better Mother’s Day gift,” Mary Jung said in an interview on the Rangers’ telecast. “We’re all in the same place, to begin with. But then to watch them live their dream, do what they love to do, I couldn’t be more proud.”

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first home run by a player facing his brother’s team on Mother’s Day since at least 1969.

NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 8
The battle for No. 1 rages on between Micah Parsons and Aidan Hutchinson: Parsons takes over the top spot again this week after earning a league-leading 92.8 PFF pass-rush grade against the Cardinals. Donovan Ezeiruaku is starting to come on strong: The Cowboys rookie picked up a 71.4 PFF pass-rush grade in Week 7 to lead all first-year pass rushers. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes We know that quarterback is the most important position on the field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer. Pressure disrupts timing, rhythm and accuracy, something only the elite quarterbacks can consistently overcome. Last season, 13 of the top 15 teams in PFF pass-rush grade had a winning record. In 2023, 15 of the top 16 teams in PFF pass-rush grade had a winning record. A dominant pass-rush is undeniably crucial to a […]
Rising stock: Arvell Reese emerging as a first-round prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes Before every college football and NFL season, we go through a summer scouting excercise. We take a look at some of the top upperclassmen returning to college football, as well as some notable first-time draft-eligible true juniors and redshirt sophomores. However, even then, there are still some players who can come out of nowhere to rise up the draft boards. For the 2026 NFL Draft, no player has done that more than Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese. Reese, a 6-foot-4 and 240-pound linebacker, is a true junior this season. He hails from Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended Glenville High School, winning a state championship as a senior – he even nabbed an interception in the state title game. He earned a four-star recruiting label and played in six games right away as a true freshman […]
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s happiness is not complete as they encounter the first problem in their shared business
Earlier this year, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce opened 1587 Prime, a sleek steakhouse meant to combine high-end dining with local flair. The project was launched in partnership with hospitality group Noble 33 and celebrated as a statement of ambition, the kind of restaurant meant to reflect Mahomes' competitive drive and Kelce's charisma.Chiefs make Kansas City fans nostalgic with a unique videoThe debut couldn't have been more glamorous. The grand opening doubled as Mahomes' 30th birthday celebration and drew an A-list crowd, from Taylor Swift and Kane Brown to Brittany Mahomes, eager to see what the city's biggest stars had created. For weeks, it looked like the restaurant had struck the right tone: part luxury, part Kansas City pride. Then came a photo that changed the conversation entirely.On review platforms, the response is divided. Google currently lists the restaurant at […]
Is Nebraska’s no-show against Minnesota sign of deeper problem? Answer is up to Matt Rhule
LINCOLN, Neb. — This week at Nebraska has produced a list of questions and concerns in the wake of the Huskers’ showing against Minnesota.For instance:• In what scenario is it reasonable to accept that some Nebraska assistant coaches and players failed to take seriously, as coach Matt Rhule said, a Minnesota team that had won five consecutive games in this series before the Gophers’ 24-6 victory Friday?Advertisement• How could so much go wrong immediately for Nebraska after it reached a high point of success to date under Rhule with consecutive comeback wins in the fourth quarter?• Why were the offensive and defensive game plans out of alignment with Rhule’s vision of the style required against Minnesota?Rhule laid it out in plain terms as he’s not done at Nebraska in three seasons.“We completely failed,” he said.He called out the poor pass […]
Are the Dodgers 4 wins away from a dynasty? ‘We have an opportunity to do that’
History surrounds these Los Angeles Dodgers. You don’t craft a roster with this many Hall of Famers without acknowledging it. You don’t establish a golden era of franchise history without seeking it. You don’t spend this much money on payroll without craving it.You don’t get this far — back to the World Series — without embracing it.AdvertisementThe desire to become baseball’s first repeat champions in a quarter century, to bring home the Commissioner’s Trophy for the third time in the past six years, is an unspoken part of everything.In fact, manager Dave Roberts avoids talking about legacy and dynasty.“A lot of that I feel is meant for other people that aren’t playing,” Roberts said. “Let them have those debates. It’s our job to kind of put those topics on the table and we have an opportunity to do that.”Sometimes, the […]
These Clippers are deep, so Tyronn Lue has some hard decisions to make
The LA Clippers begin the 2025-26 NBA regular season with three things that every team needs if they want to be the last team standing in eight months: They’re healthy, they’re talented, and they’re deep.Yes, the Clippers are old. And yes, their franchise player will have the threat of the Aspiration scandal and the consequences of the league’s investigation at a date to be determined later.AdvertisementBut for right now, when Kawhi Leonard sees his team, it is arguably the best group he has had since he missed the 2021 Western Conference Finals due to his ACL injury.“Going back to ’21, we had a great playoff push going into that semifinals, I thought we had a real good group of talent,” Leonard said this month when I asked him if this was the most accountable and most focused Clippers training camp […]
