While the bullpen has performed well to date, early exits by Davies, Jake Arrieta and Stewart in the Giants series forced Ross to overwork some of his middle relievers, though setup man Andrew Chafin and closer Craig Kimbrel were both rested and effective in Sunday’s 4-3 win. The Cubs are hoping Justin Steele and Alec Mills can soon return from the IL and give the pen some fresh arms that can go multiple innings if needed. Mills is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in three starts, giving up 14 hits over 11 2/3 innings.
“You try to take the ball every five days and go as long as you can and help the team,” Lynn said. “When you leave, you gave your team a chance to win that day. That’s always been my motto since, heck, as long as I can remember, even back when I was a little kid: Do everything you can and leave it all out there and help your team that day.”
Reyna scored his third international goal when Pulisic’s corner kick was headed by McKennie off the far post and bounded in front of the goal, where Reyna kicked it in from about 4 yards with his left foot. He followed his father, who scored against Mexico in a 4-0 exhibition win at Washington, D.C., in June 1995.
Her floor exercise, the one that includes two elements already named after her in the sport’s Code of Points, was far more precise than it was on Friday. She was well in bounds on all but one of her tumbling passes and her 14.950 included a 6.8 D-score, which ranks the difficulty of the routine, tied for the highest by any athlete on any event at the meet.
“Incredible,” center fielder Ian Happ said. “He hits a homer every time. I was on base for that second one, and as soon as he hit it, I was like, ‘Yep, there’s another one.’ He’s got seven pumps already, and he hasn’t been here that long.
“It’s beyond sacred,” La Russa said of Mack’s mark. “Unattainable. I didn’t even think this was attainable, actually. I’m talking about the last four, five years of my career. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen. Even the year I retired, my family was very upset because they wanted this to happen. But you go out when you think you’re done.
“Anytime you get to make a play for your pitcher, it’s a special play,” Engel said. “As a defender, that’s our job to go out there and make your pitcher feel comfortable. Let him know if he does his job and throws strikes, we are going to do our job and play good defense behind him.”
Jones holds Falcons records with 848 catches and 12,896 receiving yards, and his 60 touchdowns rank second. He had a career-best 136 catches for 1,871 yards in 2015. He had six straight seasons with more than 1,300 receiving yards until he was limited to nine games in 2020 by a nagging hamstring injury.
“I think sometimes people forget what really makes an organization,” Rodgers said at the time. “History is important, the legacy of so many people who’ve come before you. But the people, that’s the most important thing. People make an organization. People make a business, and sometimes that gets forgotten. Culture is built brick by brick, the foundation of it by the people, not by the organization, not by the building, not by the corporation. It’s built by the people.”
Against Williams, whose right thigh carried a heavy tape job, Rybakina hit big, flat serves. She dealt with, but managed to steady, her nerves. She even produced the occasional return winner off Williams’ speedy and spectacularly gifted serve, breaking her five times, including in the next-to-last game.
