📬 Danny Jansen Makes MLB History 🏆 | Bryce Harper Walks Off Astros 🧨 | Today: Aces Clash With Wings ⚔️
Sports news in 5 minutes.
Good morning and welcome to The Warm Up! In today's edition, we have Danny Jansen's unprecedented MLB moment, the Liberty's big win against the Mercury, and what to watch as the Mariners look to continue their winning ways. Plus, don't miss our quick takes on the Phillies' thrilling walk-off, let’s dive in.
In an unusual twist, Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen etched his name into the MLB record books by becoming the first player ever to play for both teams in the same game. Originally starting for the Blue Jays back in June before a rain delay, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox in July. When the suspended game resumed on Monday, he took the field for Boston, completing an at-bat he began as a Blue Jay. This unprecedented scenario led to the Baseball Hall of Fame requesting the official scorecard to commemorate this unique moment, with Jansen's name listed on both lineups.
The New York Liberty was back in the win column with an 84-70 final over the Phoenix Mercury. Fueled by a season-high performance from Courtney Vandersloot, who dropped 16 points and grabbed six rebounds, Breanna Stewart added 21 points to secure the victory for New York. The Liberty’s defense capitalized on Phoenix’s 22 turnovers, turning them into 28 points, solidifying their three-game lead atop the WNBA standings.
Bryce Harper delivered in the clutch, driving in the game-winning run in the 10th inning as the Phillies edged out the Astros 3-2. With last night's win, the Phillies lead the NL East by six games. With Matt Strahm securing the win, the Phillies celebrated another victory, setting the tone for their seven-game homestand against division leaders.
The Seattle Mariners, boasting a strong 40-27 home record, look to secure another win against the Tampa Bay Rays after taking the first game of the series. With Logan Gilbert on the mound, the Mariners have thrived by limiting long balls, holding a 35-17 record when preventing home runs. Meanwhile, the Rays, sitting fourth in the AL East, need their bats to come alive.

The Las Vegas Aces, led by MVP front-runner A'ja Wilson, head into their final road trip game against the injury-plagued Dallas Wings. Wilson’s dominance this season, averaging 26.6 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, has kept the Aces competitive, despite recent struggles. With Dallas missing key players and their defense faltering, the Aces are in prime position to sweep the season series.
Mitch Keller takes the mound for the Pirates as they face off against the Cubs, who have been hot with 15 homers in their last 10 games. Chicago's Ian Happ leads the charge with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs. The action is in Pitssburg with the first pitch at 6:40 PM ET.
Fulham may have had a mixed start to the Premier League, but their upcoming EFL Cup clash against Birmingham looks promising. With a five-game unbeaten streak on the road (until a recent loss to Man United), Fulham is poised to dominate, especially given Birmingham's struggling defense, which conceded six goals in their last two home games.
