CINCINNATI — Not even a disappointing return for All-Star Jacob Misiorowski or a seven-run deficit could stop the Milwaukee Brewers’ winning streak with a 10-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Friday night.Milwaukee answered the Reds’ seven-run second with five runs in the third, tied the game with two in the fourth and took the lead on Christian Yelich’s second home run of the evening in the sixth. Yelich finished the night with four hits and drove in five runs, while six Milwaukee relievers combined to retire the final 22 batters of the game.The Brewers tied…

Yaqubov, who was five inches shorter than the 5’10” Foster, found the target often with his left hands to the body, slowly sapping the energy from Foster in the third and fourth rounds and erasing the perpetual smile from the New Haven, Connecticut-based fighter’s face. Foster finally began to find answers in the fifth and sixth rounds, bringing his left hook behind his rights to cut off the escape route that Yaqubov repeatedly went to. Unable to roll to his right reliably, Yaqubov began to attack through the front door more frequently, which opened him up to the right hands…

No. 1 overall pick Cameron Ward suited up for his second preseason game Friday when the Titans hit the road to face the Falcons, and while it was a mixed bag of an individual performance, the highs outweighed the lows. Ward completed just two of his seven pass attempts but displayed tremendous arm strength in the process, showing exactly what Tennessee saw in him when it made him the first player selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.Ward started the contest and played three drives, up from the two he saw in last week’s preseason opener. He threw one fewer pass…

“I’m not going to sit here and lie,” he admits. “I always wanted to chase the belt, but it just feels like it’s not in my cards. So, for me right now, I want to go out, try to make as much money as I can for my family, and when it’s my time, walk away on top, hopefully with a great record and still having my brain cells intact.” For most, that might be a tough conversation to have. It wasn’t for Klose, one of the sport’s class acts. Order UFC 319: Du Plessis vs Chimaev “I always had…
