The Jays rally past Reds, Orioles and Yankees split doubleheader, International Team leads Presidents Cup
The Jays rally past Reds!
This is The Sports Reset for Saturday September 26th
In MLB, the Jays rallied past the Cincinnati Reds 6 to 5 at Rogers Centre. Kazuma Okamoto drove in three runs and Alejandro Kirk added an RBI as Toronto snapped a three-game slide, a welcome response after the club’s playoff elimination. The Baltimore Orioles split a Yankee Stadium doubleheader with the New York Yankees, winning Game 1 10 to 2 behind Pete Alonso’s two homers and Dylan Beavers’ first career grand slam before New York answered 6 to 3 in Game 2. The Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the San Francisco Giants 2 to 0, while the Tampa Bay Rays shut out the Philadelphia Phillies 2 to 0, denying Philadelphia a playoff clinch for the third straight game. In the CFL, the Toronto Argonauts edged the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 30 to 28, and the BC Lions beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 31 to 24.
Looking ahead, the Presidents Cup leads Saturday. The International Team carries a 7 to 3 advantage into a double session at Medinah after sweeping Friday’s foursomes. Canadians Nick Taylor and Corey Conners face Chris Gotterup and Cameron Young after Taylor put his approach within two feet on the 18th to secure Friday’s win. In Formula 1, George Russell starts the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from pole, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri, while championship leader Kimi Antonelli starts 16th after hitting the wall in qualifying. In MLB, the Jays host the Reds again, the Cleveland Guardians visit the Kansas City Royals, the Texas Rangers meet the Minnesota Twins, the Houston Astros visit the Athletics, and the Phillies get another chance against the Rays. In the CFL, the Calgary Stampeders visit the Ottawa Redblacks. Sunday’s singles decide the Presidents Cup, and the MLB Wild Card Series begin Tuesday, including the Boston Red Sox visiting the Yankees. Beyond the scoreboard, Stephen Curry agreed to a two-year, 116 million dollar extension with the Golden State Warriors, taking 20 million less than the maximum to give the team more flexibility.
