The New York Yankees just went on a home run spree against the Tampa Bay Rays. After a nine-home-run onslaught on Tuesday night in Tampa, the Yankees launched five more bombs during Wednesday’s 6-4 victory, tying a major league mark for most home runs in a two-game series with 14. Outfielder Trent Grisham hit two jacks on Wednesday (including his fifth leadoff homer of 2025), as did catcher Austin Wells. Giancarlo Stanton also went yard as a pinch-hitter in the tenth inning. On Tuesday, Stanton, Jose Caballero, and Cody Bellinger each tallied a pair of homers.  The Red Sox, of…

On August 18, 2006 the Boston Red Sox began a series in New York against the Yankees while siting at 69-50. Four days and five games later (thanks to a doubleheader as a makeup from June) they were 69-55. The Red Sox had been hanging in the playoff hunt despite massive injuries — they were in first place at the trade deadline — but that five-game sweep essentially ended the season. Alex Cora went 5-16 during the series to bring his season line to .281/.368/.331. Not much power but he sure was getting on base! Craig Breslow did not make…

If the Patriots’ final practice on Tuesday before their preseason finale against the Giants is any indication, don’t expect to see many – or any – of the starters Thursday night. Quarterback Drake Maye and the rest of the starters received a heavy workload in Tuesday’s practice, finishing off the session with sprints. In the past, the third preseason game was one last chance for starters to see the game field before the start of the regular season. Now, with a shortened preseason and an increase in joint practices, the third preseason game is a chance for players on the…

Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth is no stranger to me. I’m a range member and I play there at least a handful of times a year. But somehow, one of the two courses in the 36-hole set up had eluded me. I’d always let the starters pick, and the tough, beautiful and totally fulfilling Jones Course was always where I landed. And I mean: how can anything be better than that? Holy lush fairways and scenery, golf friends: The Nicklaus Course is all I’d heard and more. Lush and target-friendly fairways, impeccably maintained greens that demand your focus, thick pine…

The New York Knicks are among the few Eastern Conference teams that should concern the Boston Celtics during the present Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown era. Beyond the obvious fact that the Celtics just lost to the Knicks in the playoffs while attempting to defend their title, New York looks poised to be a contender for the foreseeable future, so long as new head coach Mike Brown doesn’t undo Tom Thibodeau’s impressive work over the past half-decade. Any Knicks roster moves are relevant to the Celtics and any other squads looking to contend in the East during the 2020s. As such, it’s…

FOXBORO — And that’s a wrap. The Patriots effectively closed training camp Tuesday with a highly competitive, shorts-and-shells practice that pitted their starting offense and defense against one another from start to finish. Drake Maye went 16-of-25 amid a flood of pressure, including six would-be sacks. Maye finished by firing four completions over a end-of-game drive that started with 1:30 on the clock and ended with a made field goal; real progress after several recent practices featured scoreless two-minute drills and/or turnovers. Still, Maye’s accuracy was a bit spotty behind a starting offensive line that rotated at left guard and…

In his first public comments since rupturing his Achilles in May, Jayson Tatum shared a positive update on his arduous rehab process. The Celtics superstar said in a video posted on the NBA’s official social media channels that he’s making progress in his recovery, noting he’s no longer wearing a walking boot. “Rehab is, it’s tedious, man,” Tatum said. “It’s six days a week. It’s starting to get a little bit better. I’m out of the boot now. Better days ahead, but just trying to take it one day at a time.” “Better days ahead.” Jayson Tatum talks about resilience…

FOXBORO — It was the biggest play of Tuesday’s practice. First-team offense versus first-team defense. Just seconds on the clock. Third down. Of his five eligible targets on the field, Drake Maye looked for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. Against an all-out blitz look, Maye bought time by taking the snap and immediately moving to his right. Henderson saw what was coming and understood how he could help, freeing himself up in the right flat. Maye found him quickly, and the resulting big gain is what ultimately set up a 43-yard field goal from Andy Borregales. Not even 20 practices…

The New England Revolution officially announced the signing of 21-year-old Israeli striker Dor Turgeman from Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday, providing a late-season boost up front and a promising young talent for the club’s future. Negotiations between all sides took a few days, and Turgeman had several suitors, including Rangers of the Scottish Premiership. The Revolution got the deal done by reportedly paying Maccabi Tel Aviv a $6 million transfer fee, plus $1 million in add-ons and a 25% sell-on clause, according to Sky Sports. Turgeman’s salary is not yet publicly available, but the Revolution have signed him through 2028…
