NEW YORK — The New York Yankees were flirting with history Saturday afternoon as starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt had a no-hitter going through seven innings against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
Then manager Aaron Boone pulled Schmidt, who had matched his career-high with 103 pitches, and JT Brubaker gave up a hit to the first batter he faced to lose the combined bid.

The Yankee Stadium crowd booed loudly as Gary Sanchez cruised into first base with a single into shallow center field.
It would have been the Yankees’ 14th no-hitter of all time and their first since Domingo Germán threw a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics on June 28, 2023. Corey Kluber threw a no-hitter vs. the Texas Rangers on the road on May 19, 2021, which was the first Yankees no-hitter since David Cone pitched a perfect game on July 18, 1999. The Yankees have never pitched a combined no-hitter.
Schmidt had allowed only two first-inning walks and a fourth-inning hit-by-pitch. The Yankees allowed just one hit in a 9-0 victory.

Schmidt finished the seventh inning by forcing Colton Cowser to pop out weakly to left field, and he walked off the mound to an ovation from the sold-out Yankee Stadium crowd of 46,141. He also had five strikeouts.
Schmidt then walked through the Yankees’ dugout, accepted high-fives from his teammates and went into the clubhouse. It seemed unlikely at the time that he would continue into the eighth inning. The most pitches he’d thrown in a game this season had been 99 on May 28.
Schmidt got into trouble in the first inning after walking Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson, but he escaped with a strikeout and a groundout.
Then Schmidt cruised until hitting Ryan O’Hearn with a 1-2 curveball in the fourth inning. Another strikeout and a flyout got Schmidt out of that frame.
Schmidt was coming off what had been his best start of the year up until this point, a 7 2/3-inning, scoreless performance against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday at home.

UFC Fight Night results: Khalil Rountree Jr. bests Jamahal Hill in Baku, remains relevant in title picture
What was expected to be a slugfest between elite light heavyweights on Saturday turned into a tentative, technical affair that played directly into the hands of Khalil Rountree Jr.In the main event of UFC's inaugural trip to Azerbaijan, Rountree (14-6, 1 NC) showcased everything he learned from a gutsy title loss to Alex Pereira last October by patiently accruing a trio of knockdowns against former champion Jamahal Hill (12-4, 1 NC) in a commanding victory via unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45 twice) inside Baku Crystal Hall. CBS Sports also scored the UFC Fight Night headliner 49-46 for Rountree. "I didn't come in here underestimating Jamahal. I had full belief in myself and my abilities but I didn't underestimate him," Rountree said. "The plan was to be smart. I had made some mistakes in the Alex fight. In this one, I was able […]
Fever star Caitlin Clark says historic All-Star voting returns is ‘exactly what the league needs’
Fan voting for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game opened earlier this month and runs through June 28. The league announced the first round of returns on Friday, and to no surprise the top of the list was dominated by Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates. Clark's 515,993 votes were the most of any player, followed by Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier at 484,758. The top-two vote getters will be named captains and draft their teams on July 8, ahead of the All-Star Game in Indianapolis on July 19. There were four Fever players in the top 10 -- Clark, Aliyah Boston (3rd), Kelsey Mitchell (7th) and Lexie Hull (9th) -- and eight in the top 40. The Liberty were the only other team that even had four players in the top 40. 2025 WNBA All-Star Game: Caitlin Clark, Napheesa […]
Mariners’ Cal Raleigh sets MLB records with 30th home run
CHICAGO — Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh homered in the ninth inning of a 10-7 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon, his 30th long ball of the season. On Friday, Raleigh hit his 28th and 29th homers of the season, passing Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Johnny Bench with the most home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break. Raleigh now also has the mark for most home runs before the break by a switch-hitter.Advertisement“Thirty home runs is impressive,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. “And we’re not even at the halfway point. He’s good.”Catcher, switch-hitter or just any player, what Raleigh is doing is rare. Only eight other players had hit 30 or more home runs in their first 75 games of the season. The last to do it were Barry Bonds and Luis Gonzalez in 2001.Raleigh […]
