He was flying all over the Thomas & Mack Center and looked the way a two-year player should, as though he has no business competing against this level of talent.
Thiero ended the night with a game-high 20 points and he had a slew of highlight dunks that rocked the crowd and demoralized Oklahoma City.
This was everything the Lakers hoped he could be when they selected him in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft. Now a year later, he is starting to reach his potential.
“He just wasn’t rushed tonight,” Lakers coach Ty Abbott said after the win. “He took what was in front of him. He attacked matchups. He understood that there was going to be some paint-swarming. Those guys were going to try to flood and meet him at the rim and he made the right pass. When he started doing that, it started to open up for him and he was able to finish at the rim.”
This was in stark contrast compared to Thiero’s start in the California Classic.
In that game, he was still active and a ball of energy, but in the worst ways possible. His play felt rushed. He was attempting shots from uncomprehensible positions. He had just nine points and his lackluster play was a big reason why the Warriors dominated.
But that was then, and this is now.
On Friday night, Thiero was hotter and more relentless than the Las Vegas sun.
He was getting the ball in motion and touching the paint whenever he wanted. When he had the ball at the top of the key, Thiero made the right decisions regarding when to attack and when to pass. He had great instincts for the ball on defense, registering a trio of steals and two impressive blocks.
Adou Thiero making plays on both ends 😁
Chasedown swat. Layup to beat the 3rd quarter buzzer.
Thiero has a rare curse: he’s almost too athletic. It allows him to do things no one else can, but also to try things no one should.
Figuring out how to channel his elite athleticism will be the key to him maximizing his ability and his career.
“Pace and just being patient,” Abbott said when asked how Thiero can play with control. “Sometimes it’s kind of two ships passing in the night. You got two guys going at once. Just letting the action come to him, seeing what opens up, and then attacking it then rather than being predetermined in what you want to do.”
All play in Summer League has to be taken with a grain of salt. The list of players who looked good at this level is massive, but the number who were able to translate that to the NBA is small.
Now, that’s all in the past. And his future has never looked brighter.
“Definitely feels good to go out and get the reps and then seeing some of the stuff you work on, go out there and work,” Thiero said. “But at the same time, still a lot of work to go. In these games I still see where I need to develop.”
If Thiero keeps this up, all the work he is doing will ultimately translate into his regular-season performances. He has the talent, has put in the work, and on Friday night, Lakers fans got an appetizer on what it could look like when it all comes together.
Here’s hoping that ultimately comes to fruition not just during the rest of Summer League, but in the fall with the main team.

The Colorado Rockies spent most of Friday night creating chances without cashing them in.
They finally broke through in the ninth.
Kyle Karros delivered a go-ahead, two-run single, Cole Carrigg added a sacrifice fly, and Juan Mejia needed one pitch in the bottom of the ninth to strand the bases loaded and secure a 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park.
Colorado improved to 39-57. San Francisco fell to 39-55.
The Rockies loaded the bases with nobody out in both the sixth and ninth innings. They came away empty in the sixth, but scored three times in the ninth before nearly giving the lead back.
Gordon and the defense limit the damage
Tanner Gordon allowed one run on eight hits over five innings. He walked one, struck out one and threw 81 pitches, 54 for strikes.
It was not a dominant outing. Gordon generated only three whiffs on 35 swings, and his velocity was down across the arsenal. His four-seam fastball averaged 90.7 mph, more than two mph below his season average.
The movement was better. Each of Gordon’s five pitches showed more induced vertical movement than its season norm.
He also used a balanced mix. Gordon threw 20 changeups, 19 sinkers, 19 sliders, 19 four-seamers and four curveballs. Against right-handed hitters, the four-seamer remained his primary pitch at 36%.
Rafael Devers opened the second inning by lifting a 79.7 mph curveball over the right-field wall for his 19th home run and a 1-0 Giants lead.
Gordon then worked through several threats with help from the defense.
In the third, Luis Arraez singled and Casey Schmitt reached on an infield hit. An Ezequiel Tovar throwing error moved both runners into scoring position, and the Rockies intentionally walked Devers to load the bases.
Gordon recovered to get Willy Adames to fly out to Tyler Freeman in right.
Cole Carrigg made the biggest defensive play of Gordon’s final inning.
Arraez opened the fifth with a single before Schmitt drove a fly ball deep to center. Carrigg made the catch, got behind the ball and threw Arraez out at second. The Giants challenged, but the call stood.
Devers followed with a 109 mph single to right, but Gordon retired Adames on a groundout to finish five innings with the game tied.
Ray keeps Colorado from building innings
Robbie Ray allowed one run on four hits across five innings. He walked six, struck out four and threw 100 pitches, 53 for strikes.
Ray was effective despite inconsistent command. He threw first-pitch strikes to 12 of 23 hitters and put only 35% of his pitches in the zone.
Colorado hit eight of its 13 balls in play against Ray at 95 mph or harder, but most of that contact did not lead to runs.
Ray also continued to de-emphasize his four-seam fastball. He threw it only 15% of the time, compared with a 37% season rate. His sinker led the mix at 33%, followed by the knuckle curve and slider at 20% each.
Kyle Karros recorded Colorado’s first hit in the third, extending his on-base streak to 18 games. Jake McCarthy advanced from first to third, but Carrigg struck out to leave runners at the corners.
Hunter Goodman walked to begin the fourth but was caught stealing. Rumfield followed with a 102.7 mph single before Freeman grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Colorado tied the game with two outs in the fifth.
Tovar lined his 17th double of the season to left at 105.1 mph. McCarthy then drove a 2-0 sinker into right field for his 18th double, scoring Tovar.
It was McCarthy’s 52nd RBI and Colorado’s first hit in four chances with runners in scoring position.
Carrigg, Goodman and Rumfield drew consecutive walks to load the bases with nobody out. San Francisco brought in Dylan Smith.
Smith escaped on 15 pitches.
Freeman popped out on the infield-fly rule, Willi Castro struck out and Mickey Moniak grounded out.
Brennan Bernardino kept the game tied in the bottom half. He walked Bryce Eldridge, then got Jung Hoo Lee to line out before Gilbert grounded into a 4-6-3 double play.
The Rockies missed another opportunity in the seventh. Karros singled with two outs, but Sam Hentges struck out Carrigg to end the inning.
Devers puts the Giants back in front
Jimmy Herget retired the first two hitters in the seventh before San Francisco started another rally.
Arraez singled and stole second. Schmitt walked, and a passed ball charged to Goodman moved Arraez to third.
Devers then drove a 91.3 mph sinker through the right side at 106.8 mph, scoring Arraez and giving San Francisco a 2-1 lead.
Antonio Senzatela worked a clean eighth inning, striking out Eldridge before retiring Lee and Gilbert on ground balls.
Rockies score three in the ninth
The Rockies entered Friday ranked third in MLB with an .837 OPS in the ninth inning.
Their late offense showed up again.
Moniak opened the ninth with a single against Caleb Kilian. Troy Johnston pinch-hit for Tovar and drew a walk.
McCarthy then executed an obvious bunt situation perfectly. He pulled the bat back on the first two pitches, then placed a bunt down the third-base line and beat it out for a single.
That loaded the bases with nobody out.
Karros followed with the decisive hit. He fought through a six-pitch at-bat and punched a broken-bat single through the middle, scoring Moniak and Johnston for a 3-2 lead.
Carrigg initially showed bunt, worked the count to 3-1 and then lifted a fly ball to left. McCarthy scored easily, extending the lead to 4-2.
Goodman added a single before Edouard Julien grounded into a forceout and Freeman struck out looking.
Mejia gets the final out
Jordan Romano entered for the bottom of the ninth with a two-run lead but could not finish the game.
He walked Cavanaugh before Eric Haase entered as a pinch-runner. Grant McCray grounded into a forceout, then stole second. Romano walked Arraez, putting two runners aboard with one out.
Schmitt then hit a 102.7 mph sinking liner to center. Carrigg charged and made a diving attempt, but replay showed the ball barely touched the ground before rolling into his glove.
The call was overturned, but not without some weirdness. Schmitt was credited with a single, and the runners were placed at third, second and first.
Colorado finished 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position. San Francisco went 3-for-8.
Each team recorded one two-out RBI. McCarthy drove in Colorado’s run in the fifth, while Devers delivered San Francisco’s go-ahead single in the seventh.
The Rockies stranded 11 runners. The Giants left 12 aboard. Colorado drew seven walks and struck out nine times. San Francisco walked six times and struck out three.
Karros led the Rockies by going 3-for-5 with two RBI. His third hit drove in the winning runs.
McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and two runs. He tied the game in the fifth and loaded the bases in the ninth with his bunt single.
Rumfield reached in all four plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with two walks. He also made a key defensive play on Ramos’ liner in the fourth.
Carrigg went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, but he contributed several important defensive plays and drove in Colorado’s final run with a sacrifice fly.
Devers accounted for all three Giants runs. He finished 3-for-3 with a home run, an RBI single, a sacrifice fly, a walk and three RBI.
Senzatela earned the win with a scoreless eighth inning, improving to 9-1 with a 3.00 ERA.
Kilian took the loss after allowing three runs without recording an out in the ninth. He fell to 2-5 with a 4.74 ERA.
Mejia earned his fourth save.
Up next
The Rockies and Giants continue their series Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park.
Colorado will send left-hander Kyle Freeland to the mound. Freeland enters at 2-7 with a 7.46 ERA and 70 strikeouts.
San Francisco will counter with right-hander Tyler Mahle, who is 1-8 with a 5.70 ERA and 69 strikeouts.
This. THIS is what a complete Rays win feels like.
Taking advantage of opponent’s mistakes, crisp baserunning and a defensive clinic. That is the brand of Rays baseball that has been both the most successful and entertaining this season.
But before we delve into tonight’s on-field action, for the first time since the 2023 Wild Card Series, Tropicana Field’s upper deck was open to fans, and it was quite the treat.
Once fans were able to put butt to seat, there was a pregame ceremony that celebrated the five Rays All-Stars, complete with them receiving their All-Star jersey; Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz, Drew Rasmussen, Brian Baker, and Nick Martinez. Martinez, added to the roster after Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez landed on the injured list, had plans to visit Walt Disney World with his family before getting the nod that he was Philadelphia bound.
Martinez kept consistent with what he’s done the entire first half, going 5.1 innings allowing two earned runs, and striking out and walking one apiece.
Defensively, tonight’s contest from One Trop Drive started with a spectacular diving play from Richie Palacios on the first play of the game, and a nifty grab by Taylor Walls the play after.
In the bottom of the third inning, the offense clicked.
A Caminero double just past the third base bag and a Chandler Simpson single up the middle later, and it’s 1-0 Rays.
Then Tampa Bay started to flex some muscle. Palacios homered to lead off the fourth inning to bring the score to 2-1 Rays.
In the bottom of the fifth, things got peculiar.
Left fielder Randy Arozarena, returning to Tropicana Field for the first time after being traded to the Mariners in 2024, is nursing a tight hamstring sustained in the series prior against the Marlins.
On a foul ball from Cedric Mullins near the left field line, Arozarena went after it, and pulled up about 20 feet away from the ball, with the ball landing about a body’s length away from his outstretched glove.
From the naked eye, it appeared if he kept running at the same speed during the chase, he would catch the ball for a crucial out in the ballgame.
The very next pitch, a hanging slider, was deposited into the right field seats by Mullins to put the Rays up 3-1, and two batters later, Victor Mesa Jr. decided to get in on the fun, as he left the yard with a solo shot.
In the bottom of the seventh, Tampa Bay went for the dagger.
Jonathan Aranda singled to left, and ‘La Maxima’ did what ‘La Maxima’ does, and that’s have a flare for the dramatic. A two-run shot all but puts the start of Longo Legacy Weekend to bed.
— Caminero Fan Club (@CamineroFanClub) July 11, 2026
Chandler Simpson continued to swing a hot bat, having had another multi-hit game tonight, and in the seventh had about the most Simpson-esque trip around the bases that he can have.
He singled, advanced to second base on a Mesa Jr. single, advances to third on a disengagement violation for the pitcher stepping off the rubber three times, and scores on a sacrifice fly from Walls.
Kevin Kelly secures the last six outs, and the Tampa Bay Rays win by a score of 7-2.
LAS VEGAS — Caleb Wilson was drafted No. 4 because he could step in and help Chicago on defense right away, and he had high offensive upside down the line.
Someone forgot to tell Wilson.
#4 pick Caleb Wilson was IMPACTFUL in his NBA Summer League debut for the @chicagobulls!
For some context on how out of the blue this was: Wilson was 7-of-11 from 3 in his Summer League debut, he was 7-of-27 for the season in 24 games for North Carolina.
But Summer League is about potential and dreams, and Wilson showed the potential that had the Bulls jumping for joy when they selected him No. 4. He's a player who has Bulls fans dreaming of playoff relevance again.
In a Friday night game in Las Vegas that was billed as a showdown between the No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer — who showed off the variety in his game on his way to 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting — and the No. 4 pick Wilson, it was the young Bulls star who stole the show.
Wilson scored the most points ever in a Las Vegas Summer League debut with 35. He showed off his high-level athleticism, but also more craft than was expected — and a sweet jumper.
"I've been working on it hard for a long time, so I mean, I'm not shocked at all," Wilson said of getting his 3s to fall.
"He shot the ball well, of course," Bulls coach Tiago Splitter said. "I mean, in college, he didn't shoot like that, but tonight he was he was effective, and he kept shooting."
While the shots were falling, maybe Wilson's biggest highlight of the night was a chasedown block on a layup.
Watch how fast Caleb Wilson got down the floor for this SWAT
“I turned the ball over, trying to be trying to be sexy, and then, I mean, you gotta make up for it," Wilson said. "I knew I can't get I can't turn over and give up a layup, and athleticism will make up for that almost every time. So I just had to go do what I had to be done."
It's just one game of Summer League, but for Wilson it was more than that — it was a chance to get back on the court after he was robbed of the end of his North Carolina season due to injury.
"Honestly, like I cried before I played today," Wilson said of getting to play. "I mean, it's been five months to the day since the last time I played, and I've just been really emotional because I haven't been able to play, and I felt terrible because my team lost in the tournament and my coach got fired. It just was a lot for me at that point. So coming out today, just felt like I've been waiting so long for this opportunity."
Still, it's just one game.
"We're getting to know him, of course, the first game," Splitter said. "He played extremely well, shooting the ball and doing different things. But this is a long road, and you know, be patient with everything."
James has always spoken highly of Curry and has mentioned that he would like the opportunity to play alongside him again.
Curry was out at the American Century Championship golf event in Nevada on Thursday, July 9, when he was asked about potentially playing with James.
"The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people who know how to play the game? Raise our floor, our competitiveness this year. There’s good golf in the Bay,” Curry said.
It would serve as a reunion for Curry and James, who teamed up to lead Team USA to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"As I've been saying since 2013, Steph Curry, no one understands how great he is," Andre Iguodala told ESPN on Friday, July 10.
Iguodala spent nine seasons with Curry on Golden State.
Curry finished his 17th year in the league averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
"We have to look back like, 'Whoa,'" Iguodala said of Curry. "We'll still see his effect (on the game) 30 and 40 years from now.
“People who never thought of playing in the NBA are trying to get there now because of him. There's only one LeBron James. A lot of people can have Steph's stature. … And there are some things about him that you can't get. He's God-given and gifted, but his stature (is relatable)."

LAS VEGAS — Derrick White was home with his wife when he found out that Jaylen Brown, one of his longest-tenured teammates, had been traded.
“It’s tough to see someone get traded, and JB’s been an amazing teammate, amazing friend to me, and kind of welcomed me when I got traded to Boston,” he said. “So I’m always thankful for my time that I spent with JB, and it’s obviously always tough to get traded, and I know how that feels.”
White said he reached out to Brown soon after the trade with a simple message: “Thank you for everything you did for me.”
Derrick White said he reached out to Jaylen Brown after the trade:
Neemias Queta, who has been teammates with Brown for three years, also spoke to reporters on Friday night for the first time since the trade.
“It’s not easy,” Queta said. “I think you feel for him. Obviously, it wasn’t easy for him as well. But at the end of the day, it’s part of the business. You know what’s happening. You know it can happen at any moment. But Jaylen’s a guy that you can’t replace in the city. Really, really hard to replace on the court as well. He did so much for Boston in general, and he will definitely be missed.”
Like White, Queta reached out to Brown after the trade, and wanted to stress to him that he’ll still be there for him even though they’ll no longer live in the same city.
“I just wanted to show him a sense of gratitude for pushing me daily, showing that I’m his guy,” Queta said. “I’m still gonna be around. Like anything he needs, he can reach out, and we can arrange things. And I think he just pushed me to be better every day just by his edge and intensity. His ability to corral us as a group was really, really special.”
Hugo Gonzalez shared the floor with Brown for just one season, but frequently lauded the impact the 5-time All-Star had on him. On Thursday, he shared his gratitude for the overlapping year he shared with Brown.
“Jaylen is a Celtics legend, and everybody, [starting with me], is really, really grateful because of the things he has done,” Gonzalez said. “Especially for me, he has been an amazing veteran player. He’s been a leader for me. He’s been a role model. Everybody here is grateful for him.”
ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JULY 10: Fans wait out a rain delay during a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves at Busch Stadium on July 10, 2026 in St Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images) | Getty Images
Let’s start with an image. It’s the only image you need, really:
Within the span of three batters, in a tie game, Michael Harris II hit a ball at over 105 mph, whose combination of velocity and angle yields a hit just about 60 percent of the time, and would’ve been a homer in 26 of MLB’s 30 ballparks. That ball was caught at the wall. Then, pinch-hitter Jimmy Crooks hit a ball over 102 mph, whose combination of velocity and angle yields a hit just about 60 percent of the time, and would’ve been a homer in 24 of MLB’s 30 ballparks. That one was not caught at the wall and ended up being a game-winning homer.
As I’ve been thinking for over a month now, “this is why the Braves built this cushion.” But the existence of the cushion itself doesn’t feel particularly comforting when stuff like this happens. Combine it with the Braves’ steadfast desire to give the guys they consider the “good relievers” as much rest as possible, and, well, we stayed up until about 1:30 am ET for this, guys.
This game was a Chris Sale start, once upon a time. Sale had a poor outing in his last start, and came out firing, striking out five in three frames before the rain cut his night short. There was a little bit of a hiccup with a double and a walk in the third, but Ivan Herrera did nothing of use with a hanging first-pitch slider.
This game was also a Kyle Leahy start, once upon a time. Leahy retired the first eight Braves he faced, gave up a single to Jim Jarvis, and then was bailed out on a snag of a Michael Harris II liner by JJ Wetherholt, who signed a big extension today.
Then, we all sat through a nearly three-hour rain delay as Mother Nature turned Busch Stadium into Busch Lake.
When play resumed, it was kind of a battle of who was less sleepy. Mike Yastrzemski barreled a double with one out in the fifth, and then scored on a hard grounder from Austin Riley back up the middle. That was the only run the Braves ended up scoring… though they could have had more if Wetherholt didn’t snag another liner for the third out of that inning. In the sixth, Drake Baldwin nearly popped a two-run homer, but the ball was just foul.
Victor Mederos threw two shutdown innings after the rain, but Didier Fuentes gave up the lead: a one-out walk, a slow, seeing-eye single on a pitch that was basically in the “waste” area, and then a hard-hit liner the other way by Jordan Walker. Fuentes and the defense escaped the frame with the tie intact, and Tyler Kinley had a leadoff walk erased on a double play in the seventh.
That’s how we got to the eighth, and the image above. Harris didn’t homer, Danny Young came in (not Dylan Lee) and saw Jimmy Crooks deposit a sweeper into the stands, and that was pretty much that.
For an added little pinch of “seriously you already made me stay up past 1 am for this?” Baldwin hit another deep drive off closer Riley O’Brien. That one wasn’t quite a barrel, but it did travel 402 feet, and would’ve been a homer in 12 parks. Just, you know, not Busch Swamp. The game ended shortly thereafter.
The entire NL East lost today, so the division lead remains at three. That’s why they have this cushion, right? Right?

The Dodgers suffered a deflating 9-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium on Friday to start their final series before the All-Star break.
But if there was a silver lining to the Dodgers’ rough performance, it was that superstar Shohei Ohtani looked fine at designated hitter after being scratched from his scheduled start because of irritation in his left knee.
Ohtani, who will not participate in next week’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia, hit a leadoff home run off Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez.
“He does a really good job of taking care of himself,” Roberts said of Ohtani. “Obviously, we’ve curtailed the running, and so he’s doing everything he can to help us on the offensive side. And again, it wasn’t great tonight on the run prevention, but it was the right thing for all of us, and so I think we feel good about that going forward.
“But yeah, it’s really impressive what he continues to do offensively.”
The Diamondbacks took advantage of the Dodgers’ bullpen game — and three defensive errors.
Right-hander Kyle Hurt opened and surrendered two runs on three hits through 1⅔ innings.
Arizona’s Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo opened the game with base hits. Corbin Carroll grounded into a forceout at second, moving Marte to third, before Gabriel Moreno singled on a liner to right that scored Marte. Carroll then scored on an errant throw to third from Kyle Tucker that went into the Dodgers’ dugout.
After Ohtani hit his 21st homer of the season, Andy Pages hit a tying 419-foot blast to left-center for his 17th homer.
But that was all the Dodgers (61-34) would score against Rodriguez, who gave up seven hits and struck out five over six innings to improve to 8-3.
“He’s had a heck of a year,” Roberts said of Rodriguez. “I think he’s an All-Star. Last couple years it’s been a grind for him, health, but man, when this guy’s healthy, the ball’s moving all over the place; he’s a big-league pitcher, he misses barrels. And yeah, we caught a couple barrels early, hit a couple homers, but he settled in nicely. And then once he got a lead, he was just really putting it to us.”

Arizona’s bullpen then held the Dodgers to just two hits — both coming in the ninth inning off Drey Jameson.
Will Klein (3-4) took the loss after surrendering one run through 1⅔ innings.
“I just wanted to see how he was because we’ve pushed him a little bit,” Roberts said about pulling Klein. “And I just wanted to make sure, in talking to him man to man, just how he felt going back out there for another inning because we pushed him a little bit. He’s done a nice job.”
After Brock Stewart gave up a two-run home run to Tim Tawa in the fourth, Arizona (47-47) tacked on two more runs in the fifth after the Dodgers’ second error.
Stewart walked Perdomo to start the inning. Then, Carroll grounded into a fielder’s choice in front of the plate and reached first safely, with an errant throw by Rushing allowing Perdomo to reach third. Moreno grounded out to third to drive in Perdomo. A balk by Edgardo Henriquez followed by a wild pitch allowed Carroll to score.
“It has been sloppy two of the last three games,” Roberts said of the errors. “Don’t know the reason for it. Obviously, it never feels good to not convert outs. So yeah, I think that it’s one of those things that we got to get better at.”
Arizona extended its lead in the sixth after Tawa hit an RBI single to left and Perdomo drove in a run on a groundout to first. Tawa ended his three-hit, four-RBI performance with a run-scoring single in the eighth.
Reliever Alex Vesia threw a scoreless ninth inning for his fifth consecutive scoreless outing to cap a night the Dodgers probably would like to forget.
“It’s not really a wild card; it’s a bullpen game,” Hurt said. “We’re all going to go out there and do our part; we got a job. Tonight, you know, there was a couple walks, some hits. It just wasn’t a good day for us. ... We’ll be better.”
Roberts said the Dodgers might bring up another arm to finish the series.

The D-backs (47-47) pulled away late, securing a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers (61-34) Friday night at Dodger Stadium. After Arizona’s early advantage was erased by back-to-back home runs from Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages in the first, Tim Tawa’s fourth-inning home run put the D-backs ahead for good.
Sloppy play and three costly errors proved too much to overcome for the Dodgers offense. The offense only mustered three at-bats with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-3 with six runners stranded.
The D-backs opened up the game with back-to-back 0-2 singles against Kyle Hurt. Gabriel Moreno got the D-backs on the board first with a RBI base hit to right field. A throwing error by Tucker allowed a second run to come in to make it 2-0, Snakes.
Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his final start of the season prior to first pitch due to continued inflammation in his left knee. He remained in the lineup, and his bad knee didn’t prevent him from crushing a leadoff home run to cut Arizona’s lead down to one.
Will Klein was the next arm out of the Dodgers bullpen, and he stranded Corbin Carroll at second base in the third to preserve the tie.
The D-backs took back the lead in the fourth, and never looked back, after Tim Tawa took a Brock Stewart four seamer for a ride.
Arizona continued to cash checks written by the Dodgers defense. A botched throw from Dalton Rushing in the fifth was the fifth Dodgers error in the last three games. A scoring groundout increased the D-backs lead to three runs.
A wild pitch by pitcher Edgardo Henriquez brought in a second run for the D-backs in the inning to make it 6-2.
More sloppy play helped the D-backs put the D-backs another two runs ahead in the sixth. They scored twice in each of the fourth through sixth innings. Freeman held on to a grounder hit back to him by Geraldo Perdomo and allowed an eighth run to come in.
Tawa singled in another run for the D-backs in the top of the eighth against Evan Phillips to make it 9-2.
The Dodgers scored a run in the bottom of the ninth on a Miguel Rojas RBI double, but the game was long over.

Friday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves was really two completely different stories. There’s the first third of the game which featured a pitcher’s duel between Kyle Leahy for the Cardinals and Chris Sale for the Braves. The final two-thirds of the game didn’t begin until a 2-hour rain delay was over and it would end with a Cardinals victory.
It was no surprise that the Atlanta Braves Chris Sale had nasty stuff, but what will sadly probably get overlooked by many is that Kyle Leahy for the Cardinals had better results for the 3 innings he was in the game before the rain delay removed both starters. The Cardinals at least managed a scoring threat in the bottom of the 3rd inning when Blaze Jordan hit a ground rule double and JJ Wetherholt walked. Kyle Leahy only allowed one hit which was an infield single to Jim Jarvis with two outs in the top of the 3rd inning.
The second two-thirds of the game started with a 1-2 count on Ozzie Albies in the top of the 4th inning after a two-hour rain delay that included a deluge of water that was spotted pouring into the dugouts.
After the game resumed, George Soriano pitched a scoreless top of the 4th, but wasn’t so fortunate in the top of the 5th when Mike Yastrzemski ripped a one-out double down into the right field corner. Austin Riley followed that with a RBI single to center to give the Braves a 1-0 lead. Justin Bruihl was brought in to get the last 2 outs of the Braves 5th inning and he was successful and took care of Atlanta in the top of the 6th inning also.
The St. Louis Cardinals bats would finally mount a threat in the bottom of the 6th inning against Braves reliever Didier Fuentes when JJ Wetherholt would celebrate his newly-signed 8-year extension by drawing a one-out walk. Iván Herrera, the new All-Star DH, singled to move JJ up to second. Then, Jordan Walker, the Home Run Derby entrant All-Star, ripped a RBI single to right scoring Wetherholt and tying the game at 1-1. Alec Burleson’s foul out stranded Herrera and Walker on base, but at least St. Louis tied the game.
Ryne Stanek was brought into cover the top of the 7th inning. He walked Austin Riley with two outs, but otherwise kept the drama to a minimum as the game remained tied. For the Cardinals bottom half of the 7th inning, Masyn Winn walked, but was back on the bench quickly as José Fermín hit into a double play and then Blaze Jordan popped out.
JoJo Romero was given the top of the 8th inning responsibilities and Nathan Church was brought in as a defensive replacement in centerfield. The highlight of the top of the 8th was Jordan Walker catching Michael Harris II’s deep fly ball at the top of the wall that Jordan caught. The Apple TV announcer said that ball would have been a home run in 26 different ballparks, but Jordan Walker is tall so we win. The Braves were denied again.
In a 1-1 tied game, it just takes 1 swing to decide a winner and Friday night, that swing came from Jimmy Crooks who lifted an 83 mph sweeper from Braves reliever Danny Young 405 into the plants above the center field wall giving St. Louis a 2-1 lead.
The top of the 9th inning would be handed to All-Star Riley O’Brien. He struck out Matt Olson, but we all held our breath when Drake Baldwin flied out to DEEP center. Mauricio Dubón was the Braves final hope and fortunately for St. Louis Cardinals fans was no hope at all as O’Brien fanned him to end a rain-soaked Friday night of baseball.
After a long Friday night with a mega-rain delay, the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves will play game 2 of their weekend series Saturday night. Matthew Liberatore will get the start for the Cardinals while the Atlanta Braves will send Reynaldo López to the mound. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15pm central time at Busch Stadium. TV broadcast will be handled by Cardinals.tv.

After a dominant start in the Las Vegas Summer League, the Lakers are back at it on Saturday as they take on the Dallas Mavericks.
Start time and TV schedule
Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks
When: 7 p.m. PT, July 11
Where: Thomas & Mack Center
Watch: ESPN
Exactly a week ago, this Lakers team was blown out by the Golden State Warriors in their first game together. They looked lost on the court, and it didn’t seem like there would be much to be excited about for the summer.
Since then though, they’ve bounced back significantly and won three straight games, including a strong showing against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the process, Cameron Carr has continued to shine, while Adou Theiro has found his footing after an up-and-down start.
The two have also received sufficient help, and in Friday’s win, it was the likes of Arthur Kaluma and Anton Watson who combined for 33 points.
It’s been a fun team to root for. This squad has the right mix of talent along with the requisite shooting, athleticism, height and two-way production to succeed.
And on Saturday, they have a chance to build on their success against a Mavericks team led by Morez Johnson Jr., whom Dallas selected at No. 9 in this year’s NBA Draft.
Dallas began the tournament with a loss to the Warriors, so look for them to be determined to bounce back in this one. They also have a roster that can really score, especially inside the paint. Look for Johnson to get most of the team’s touches and production going.
As for the Lakers, it’ll be interesting to see if they can maintain their overall production. Since their first game together, their ball movement has improved.
Players know their roles and they seem to have a competitive game plan, at least based on how they’re playing. Hopefully it continues throughout the tournament for the Lakers.
If the Lakers win this game against the Mavericks, they’ll go up 2-0 and play two more games to determine if they advance to the semifinals. The goal is to win all games by as much as possible since the point differential system impacts the team’s standing down the line.
Let’s see if they can win back-to-back games and keep their momentum going against the Mavericks on Saturday.
Notes and Updates
In case you missed it, yes, the new Lakers signees are in Las Vegas and have shown support for the current summer team.
LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 10: Koa Peat #18 of the Phoenix Suns shoots the ball during the game against the Portland Trail Blazers on July 10, 2026 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Phoenix Suns tipped off their Summer League schedule in Las Vegas on Friday night, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 81-79.
It was a tale of two halves for the Phoenix Suns. In the first half, they couldn’t hit a shot, going 0-of-9 from beyond the arc and scoring only 24 points. Sure, quarters are shortened to 10 minutes in Summer League, but 24 points is still 24 points. It was ugly basketball.
Then the Suns came out of the locker room with some fire, and you could see the difference on both ends of the floor. Phoenix trailed by as many as 16 points, but after scoring 57 in the second half, they completed the comeback and walked away with an 81-79 victory.
DJ Steward led the way for Portland with 21 points, while Yang Hansen finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.
Javonte Cook led Phoenix with 21 points, but it was the performances from the Suns’ young prospects that impressed the most. Khaman Maluach finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while rookie Koa Peat added 17 points and nine boards. Rasheer Fleming chipped in six points and 10 rebounds, along with two steals and two blocks.
The Suns’ defense came alive in the second half, creating turnovers, generating transition opportunities, and giving the offense the energy it desperately needed. It was far from perfect, but the young Suns responded when things looked ugly and found a way to win their first Summer League game.
Game Flow
First Half
The game started a little later than planned because the matchup before it, between the Celtics and Raptors, went into overtime. Because why wouldn’t an 8 p.m. Suns start get delayed? Typical Suns stuff.
Thankfully, it’s a Friday night.
The first points of the game came after rookie Kia Peat snagged an offensive rebound and then through Ali loop to Khaman Maluach. Chefs kiss? Yes, chefs kiss.
That was the only made basket for the Suns on their first 12 attempts, as they opened the game shooting 8.3% from the field. It was clear Phoenix wanted to see what Maluach could provide on the perimeter, as he began the night 1-of-5 from the field and 0-of-3 from beyond the arc.
Despite the brutal start, the Suns trailed only 7-2 midway through the first quarter.
The rebounding was solid for Phoenix, as their front line was simply massive. Early on, Peat impressed with his ability to attack the glass and secure rebounds. And it was Peat who finally snapped the Suns’ 0-of-13 shooting stretch, rising up and throwing down an athletic dunk to give Phoenix some much needed life.
Maluach scored his second basket of the game with an impressive left-handed bank shot over Yang Hansen.
Overall, it was an ugly quarter for both teams. They combined to shoot 1-of-21 from beyond the arc, with Phoenix going 0-of-9 and finishing the quarter 4-of-22 overall from the field. Maluach led all Suns scorers with four points on 2-of-6 shooting, while Rasheer Fleming added two points and six rebounds.
After one, the Suns trailed the Trail Blazers, 19-10.
The second quarter started much the same, as the Suns missed their first five shots from the field and opened 0-of-2 from beyond the arc. A lazy inbound pass from Maluach didn’t help matters, and he led the team with 4 turnovers in the first half. His handle certainly looked loose whenever he put the ball on the floor.
Phoenix was shooting only 14% from the field midway through the second quarter, although Portland wasn’t doing much better at 25%. With five minutes remaining in the half, the Suns found themselves trailing by 13, 27-14.
The drought was finally broken by a smooth mid-range jumper from second-year Kentucky shooter Koby Brea. It was an in-rhythm shot that looked crisp coming off his hand.
And then there was Koa Peat. At 6’8” and 245 pounds, he clearly looks like an NBA player. Peat flashed that physicality in transition, spinning his way through the defense and finishing through contact for the and-1.
Phoenix didn’t have many made field goals in the first half. In fact, they only made eight. But it felt like every one of them was impressive. To close out the first half, Maluach threw down a sick alley-oop dunk, followed shortly thereafter by a savage slam from Rasheer Fleming.
When the first half was all said and done, the Suns shot 21% from the field, going 8-of-38 overall and 0-of-13 from beyond the arc. They also committed 10 turnovers.
Maluach led the way with 8 points and 6 rebounds. Fleming added 4 points and 8 rebounds, while Koa Peat finished the half with 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 turnovers. Jameer Nelson Jr. scored 4 points off the bench, all of them from the free-throw line. He was also the only member of the Suns to register a steal, finishing with two.
Phoenix trailed Portland, 38-24, after one half of play.
Second Half
Maluach came out firing in the third quarter, knocking down his first two three-pointers to pull the Suns within 12. Phoenix scored a grand total of 10 points in the first quarter. They matched that total in the first two and a half minutes of the third.
The offense felt much more engaged, although there were still issues with moving the basketball. That’s Summer League for you. Guards often drift away from the confines of the offense, hunting their own points rather than creating quality opportunities for the team. Numerous times, both Maluach and Peat set solid screens and rolled to the basket, only to watch the ball go somewhere else despite being open. Such is Summer League basketball.
Rasheer Fleming put together an unbelievably impressive sequence. On one end, he attacked off the dribble, pulled up, and knocked down a 12-footer. On the other, he stayed disciplined as the Trail Blazers tried to shake him with a spin move, refusing to bite before using his length to block the shot.
What a sequence from Rasheer Fleming.
Off the dribble, pull up jumper on one end. Gets back, stays disciplined, doesn’t bite on the fake, and blocks the shot on the other.
Two way impact. That’s the stuff that gets you excited about his development. pic.twitter.com/cva8IbkO8J
Then Maluach came down and knocked down his third three-pointer of the quarter. All of a sudden, the Suns’ young players were putting on a show.
The defense started putting on a show as well. Active hands created deflections and loose balls, leading to transition opportunities and finally giving the Suns some life.
The end result? After scoring 24 points in the entire first half, Phoenix exploded for 31 points in the third quarter. The Suns shot 10-of-17 from the field and 5-of-9 from beyond the arc, completely changing the complexion of the game.
Maluach scored nine points and grabbed three rebounds in the quarter, while Koa Peat added six points and three boards. After trailing by as many as 17, the Suns entered the fourth quarter down only one, 56-55.
The Suns took the lead to open the fourth quarter on an alley-oop to Maluach. Moments later, he followed it up with a pretty savage dunk over Yang Hansen, adding another highlight to an impressive second half.
MASSIVE block at the rim by Khaman. Timed that drive perfectly and pinned Yang Hansen on the glass
Phoenix continued to play well against Portland, outscoring the Trail Blazers 12-6 through the first half of the fourth quarter. A 12-3 run gave the Suns an eight-point lead with four minutes remaining as they continued to build upon the momentum they created in the third.
Koa Peat’s ability to attack was impressive throughout the game. If he gets inside 15 feet, he’s going at you aggressively, using his strength to create contact and draw fouls. There’s a physicality to the way he plays that immediately stands out, and it’s a nice sight to see.
Koa Peat’s ability to attack has been impressive. Get him inside 15 feet and he’s coming downhill with purpose, using his strength to create contact and draw fouls
The game came down to the final minute, with the Suns holding a one-point lead and 45 seconds remaining. Phoenix’s Javonte Cook delivered what appeared to be the dagger, knocking down his fifth three-pointer of the game to give the Suns some breathing room.
Portland wasn’t finished. After grabbing a pair of offensive rebounds, DJ Steward answered with a three-pointer of his own with 8.5 seconds remaining, pulling the Trail Blazers back within one.
A foul sent Darius Brown II to the free throw line, where he made 1-of-2, giving Portland an opportunity to tie or win the game with 7.8 seconds left. Following a timeout, the Trail Blazers went the length of the floor and got a shot off for the win. It missed.
Phoenix wins, 81-79.
Up Next
Next up for the Summer Suns? The Summer Pelicans. A team that has made a grand total of one transaction all offseason: re-signing DeAndre Jordan. They did have one draft pick this year, Jaron Pierre Jr, drafted 58th overall. They do not have second-year players Jeremiah Fears or Derik Queen on their roster.
The teams tip off at noon on Sunday. See you then!

Blue Jay 5 Padres 3
A three-game win streak. A few days ago that would have seemed impossible.
We owe this one to Kazuma Okamoto, who hit a three-run home run in the fifth. In that fifth inning, Myles Straw started it with a bunt single (very nicely done Straw). Jonatan Clase flied out. Then Ernie Clement singled, Vladimir Guerrero singled (well, he rolled a ball out towards third that died in the grass, but an RBI is an RBI). Then Okamoto hit one 377 feet to left center, 107.6 mph. That homer tied Shohei Ohtani’s record for home runs for a Japanese born rookie with 22. He has some time left to break the record.
We scored one in the fourth. Vlad walked to lead off the inning. After a Okamoto strikeout, George Springer singled and Alejandro Kirk doubled. With one out and runners on second and third, we should have scored more than the one run, but Daulton Varsho ground out hard to first and Luis Urias ground out to third (not so hard).
We had nine hits and three walks, so more runs would have been nice. Clement and Straw had two hits each. Varsho and Urias had the 0 fors.
Shane Bieber had a rough start to the game. He gave up an one out walk and a Xander Bogaerts home run. Another walk and single that inning had us worried that it was going to be a long game.
But after that first inning, Bieber was better (not great, but better). He came out of the game after a two-out single in the fourth. Mason Fluharty got the third out of the inning. Bieber finished with six hits, three walks, four strikeouts and two earned in his 4.2 innings.
Chad Dallas, Jeff Hoffman, Tyler Rogers all pitched a scoreless inning. Louis Varland got the first two out and then gave up three straight singles, just to test our blood pressure (and push his ERA above 1). But, with the tying run on base, he got Xander Bogaerts to ground out to third. Okamoto had a busy day on defense too. Save #19 for Varland. Varland threw 26 pitches getting that save.
Jays of the Day: Okamoto (0.24 WPA), Kirk (0.15), and Clement (0.10).
Other Award: Varsho (-0.12) and Urias (0.11).
Tomorrow we have another late start, 8:40 Eastern. Trey Yesavage (4-4, 3.31) vs. Walker Buehler (5-5, 5.07).
Other news: Canadian Tristan Peters hit for the cycle for the White Sox. And he was miced up. Just the second Canadian ever to hit for the cycle.

The highlight dunk was proof that Adou Thiero is just fine. Thiero delivered a breakaway windmill dunk in the second quarter Friday that brought cheers from the fans, a moment in which the second-year Lakers forward displayed his athleticism.
Thiero’s confidence seemed to grow from that point on, his play for the Lakers during their Las Vegas Summer League opener at the Thomas & Mack Center a sign of his development.
He ran the floor and caught a lob for a dunk. He sprinted back on defense and blocked a shot. He finished the third quarter with a last-second shot off the backboard, a basket that gave the Lakers an 86-66 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thiero came back in the game in the fourth quarter and threw down another lob dunk.
Thiero completed his night with 20 points during the Lakers’ 96-84 win.
He played an all-around game, collecting four rebounds, three steals and two blocks with zero turnovers in 30 minutes. He was seven for 12 from the field. He missed all five of his three-pointers, but Thiero finished the game plus-13.
Thiero played after missing the Lakers’ final game at the California Classic in San Francisco because of a right wrist injury.
First-round pick Cameron Carr also played against the Thunder after being limited by a bothersome toenail during the California Classic finale. Carr had another solid game with 18 points on seven-for-13 shooting.

The Lakers began Las Vegas Summer League with a 96-84 win over the Thunder and looked good doing so.
Cameron Carr was getting it done on both ends and appeared too good for this level of play. Adou Thiero had some mesmerizing dunks, and with some great defensive plays from Chris Mañon, that’s how the Lakers began their time in Nevada with a win.
The Lakers jumped out to a 9-5 advantage early on. Mañon continued to demonstrate his on-ball defense, which led to a few early turnovers by the Thunder.
OKC countered with a 5-0 run to regain the lead. The Thunder remained hot from the field, making six of their first seven baskets. The Lakers, on the other hand, were shooting 45% from the field and were 1-5 from deep.
Carr put the Lakers back in front by drilling LA’s second three of the night with a little over three minutes left in the opening quarter.
Carr then displayed his defensive game with a pair of impressive blocks.
After one quarter of play, LA was in front 24-23.
The Lakers lead the Thunder 24-23 after one quarter of play. Cameron Carr leads all scorers with 7 points. He also has a game-high two blocks. An impressive Las Vegas Summer League start for the rookie.
The Lakers remained in control to start the second quarter. Peter Suder knocked down a three, and LA’s other two-way player, AK Okereke, made his first basket of the game.
Midway through the period, Anton Watson drove to the basket and scored, giving the Lakers a four-point lead.
Brooks Barnhizer had a highlight-worthy dunk for the Thunder, but then Thiero saw that and raised the stakes with a slam of his own. Moments later, he had a monster windmill dunk extending LA’s lead to nine.
In the third quarter, LA’s dominance continued. Carr scored with ease from the elbow, and thanks to a nice putback by Hickey, the Lakers maintained their double-digit advantage.
After a pass from Thiero resulted in a three by Hickey, the Lakers were up by 15, their largest lead of the night.
The rest of the third was all LA. Carr and Thiero converted on lob dunks and the Thunder were unable to close the gap. After three quarters of play, LA was up by 20 points.
With the Lakers so far in front, the game was all but over. Fans started a “We want Robbie” chant for Robbie Avila and the rest of the contest was glorified cardio. The Thunder never went on any kind of serious run, and the Lakers earned the win.
Key Player Stats:
Carr had 18 points, and two blocks. Thiero had a team-high 20 points. Arthur Kaluma ended the night with 18 points.
The Lakers’ next game will be against the Mavericks on Saturday at 7:00 PM PT.
