The Mets were shut out for the second straight night in Seattle, recording just four hits in a 4-0 loss to the Mariners. It’s the first time NY has been shut out in back-to-back games this season.

New York (61-56) began the day 0.5 games ahead of Atlanta for the final Wild Card spot, but the Braves snapped their six-game losing streak and are now 0.5 games up on the Mets.

New York’s bats struggled against Mariners starter Logan Gilbert all night long. Francisco Lindor opened the game with a single, but Gilbert then retired the next eight straight Mets through the third.

Gilbert made it nine in a row when Lindor lined out to open the fourth before Brandon Nimmo walked to give NY their second baserunner of the night. J.D. Martinez and Pete Alonso couldn’t make anything happen and the Mets’ scoreless stretch continued.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules Match took place at the WWE Summer Slam Premium Live Event from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, OH on Saturday night.

After a back and forth start, Cody caught him with a spring board drop kick followed by an outside dive. Back in the ring, Solo took over and the beat down began. Cody caught him with a Cody cutter and then tossed him to the floor. 

Back in the ring, Cody connected with a flurry of right hands. Cody hit Solo with the steel steps a few times. Jacob Fatu ran out and attacked Cody. Roman Reigns made his return and hit the superman punch to Solo then the spear before leaving the ring. Cody then made the pin.

Aaron Judge’s  two-run home run in the first inning of the Yankees’ 8-3 win over the Blue Jays in the Bronx tied him with the Bambino for a nearly century-old franchise record.

Judge now boasts 16 first-inning home runs this season, matching the number Ruth hit in the opening frame of his famous 60-homer campaign in 1927.

Only Alex Rodriguez, who hit 18 first-inning home runs with Texas in 2001, and Mark McGwire, who hit 17 with St. Louis two years earlier, struck more in a single season in MLB history.

Judge’s 426-foot blast against Toronto’s José Berríos gave the Yankees (66-46) an early 2-1 advantage Saturday, and they led the rest of the way.

It was Judge’s MLB-leading 41st home run of the season, putting him on pace for 59. Judge had 45 home runs through the Yankees’ 112th game of 2022, when he set an American League single-season record with 62.
