Acquired in a trade from the Chicago Cubs for two minor-league prospects just minutes before Friday’s deadline, Bryant was greeted by chants of “KB, KB, KB” when he trotted onto the field for pregame warmups and received a standing ovation before his first at-bat. The four-time All-Star was cheered again after striking out swinging.
Rizzo, who went to high school in the Miami area, singled home Brett Gardner for the tying run in his third game with the Yankees. The first baseman was acquired from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline and hit a homer in each of his first two games with the Yankees before Sunday’s clutch at-bat.
Ortega has been locked in since the All-Star break and is thriving out of the leadoff spot, where he batted Sunday. It was the 43rd time in franchise history a player hit three homers, and Ortega is the fourth Cub to do it as a leadoff hitter, joining Alfonso Soriano (twice), Brant Brown, and Tuffy Rhodes.
It should be much easier for La Russa to handle his two-closer conundrum than it was for either Billy Martin, the former Yankees manager, or Bob Lemon, who replaced Martin midseason in 1978. Lyle was disgruntled enough over the setup role and Gossage’s much higher salary that he wrote a best-selling book about it. A Sports Illustrated review of “The Bronx Zoo” said, “Lyle whines so loudly and so often about his miserable 1978 salary — it was $135,000 — that a muzzle is in order.”

They were dropped off at Saint Bernard Hospital and University of Chicago Medical Center, respectively, and both had been listed in fair condition, police said.
The face, and the voice, of the Tokyo Olympics, and all they’re about, could very well be found in a 25-year-old American shot putter who, on Sunday, could be spotted wearing the green and red superhero face covering, sporting the purple and green hair, donning the neon-blue shades and winning a shiny silver medal.
The 36-year-old, who won three Stanley Cups during his first 13 NHL seasons in Pittsburgh, considered Las Vegas his home and place where he wanted to end his career, and had reservations about relocating his family once again. Fleury had also developed a bond with Golden Knights fans and team owner Bill Foley after being Vegas’ most high-profile selection in the 2018 expansion draft.
