Final Pittsburgh 5 Toronto 2
Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is putting together a Cy Young-worthy season everywhere but in the win-loss column. The 23-year-old Skenes' record still sits at 7-9 following a no-decision in Pittsburgh's 5-2 win over Toronto. Skenes has recorded a no-decision 10 times this season. He's allowed two runs or less in nine of those games. Skenes says he doesn't get caught up in his win total as long as the Pirates have more runs than the opponents at the end of every game he plays.

Colorado needs to win six of its final 37 games to avoid the modern-era MLB record for losses owned by the 2024 Chicago White Sox. All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman says the team is focused on improving and playing clean baseball.
Final San Francisco 4 San Diego 3
Xander Bogaerts of the San Diego Padres had a home run overturned due to fan interference, and manager Mike Shildt was ejected for coming out of the dugout to talk to the umpires in the second inning against the San Francisco Giants. Bogaerts hit a flyball that appeared to bounce out of Heliot Ramos’ glove and over the fence as two fans, including one in a Giants shirt, reached for it. Neither fan appeared to touch the ball but after a lengthy review, the home run call was overturned and Bogaerts was called out. Shildt was ejected immediately when he came out of the dugout.

The Cleveland Browns have announced that Joe Flacco will be their starting quarterback for the Sept. 7 opener against AFC North rival Cincinnati. Coach Kevin Stefanski indicated over the past week that decision was coming. The Browns were off on Sunday after their 22-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles but had a team meeting on Monday. The 40-year old Flacco beat out Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Deshaun Watson is on the roster but is expected to miss the season because of injuries. Besides having 191 regular-season starts and going into his 18th season, Flacco was the only quarterback who has not missed time during training camp because of an injury.
Matthew Stafford practiced with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, marking the quarterback’s first workout with the team this preseason after having been unable to do so because of a sore back. Stafford, 37, took first-team reps during the session and did not speak to reporters afterward. Coach Sean McVay said it was too soon to know what the session means for Stafford’s status going forward.

US GYMNASTICS ACADEMY COACH ARRESTED BY FBI
A coach at a center in Iowa that has trained Olympic champions is facing allegations that he abused young female gymnasts and secretly photographed others undressing at a prior job in Mississippi. Sean Gardner, who coached at Chow’s Gymnastics and Dance Institute in West Des Moines, has been temporarily barred from all contact with USA Gymnastics since July 2022 due to unspecified allegations of misconduct. He has not been charged criminally while a police investigation continues. But three years after abuse allegations were reported to police and he was removed from USA Gymnastics, the FBI arrested him last week on a federal child pornography charge.

US OPEN TENNIS - MIXED DOUBLES.
Grand Slam singles champions such as Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys will be playing for extra money — $1 million to the winning duo — and trying to get their hands on a trophy in the U.S. Open’s overhauled mixed doubles tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday. But the best of the best at doubles are not so excited about what one of last year’s mixed champions in New York, Sara Errani, labeled “sad” and “nonsense” in an interview with The Associated Press. She and Andrea Vavassori, who’ll be defending their title, are the only true doubles team competing at Flushing Meadows this time.
ALBANY FIREWOLVES MOVING TO CANADA
After four seasons at MVP Arena, the Albany FireWolves of the National Lacrosse League are relocating to Canada. Stephen Stamp of Inside Lacrosse wrote on X over the weekend that the FireWolves might be relocating to Oshawa, near Toronto. The National Lacrosse League owners approved the relocation. On Thursday, the league applied for trademarks on the names Ontario FireWolves and Oshawa FireWolves.
The franchise first moved to Albany for the 2021-2022 season. They were in Connecticut before that.
During their time in Albany, the FireWolves reached the NLL playoffs twice, including a Finals appearance in 2024 before losing to the Buffalo Bandits.
This is the second NLL team to leave Albany. The Albany Attack played at the arena from 2000 to 2003 before departing for San Jose, Calif. because of low attendance.
