Guerrero totaled 5 1/2 miles of homers — 29,390 feet to be exact. He defeated Julio Rodríguez 21-20 in the semifinals after the Mariners star hit a record 41 in the first round in front of his hometown fans.  Batting against Blue Jays manager John Schneider, Guerrero was the last of the four semifinalists to swing and the first of the finalists, setting a final round record for homers to top Pete Alonso’s 23 two years ago. Vladimir Sr. won the 2007 derby.  Arozarena had the most overall homers over the three rounds, 82 to Guerrero’s 72, and the most distance at 33,077 feet. Arozarena overcame Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox 35-22 in the semifinals. Robert hit the longest drive of the night, a 484-foot shot to left in the second round. That topped the high of 476 feet by Barry Bonds in the 2001 derby in Seattle. Tonight 2023 MLB All Star Game – T-Mobile Park, Seattle National League (Zac Gallen-ARI, 11-3, 3.04 ERA) vs. American League (Gerrit Cole-NYY, 9-2, 2.85 ERA), 8:00 p.m. NBASL – NBA Summer League Last Night Indiana Pacers 108, Orlando Magic 85 Pacers 108, Magic 85 Andrew Nembhard finished with 21 points and seven assists, and all four Indiana draft picks saw action in a victory over Orlando. Jarace Walker, the eighth overall pick, totaled 16 points, four rebounds and four assists for the Pacers (2-0). First-rounder Ben Sheppard, 26th overall, started and finished with 16 points and nine rebounds. Second-round picks Isaiah Wong and Mojave King scored six points apiece off the bench. Isaiah Jackson contributed 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Magic (0-2) started both of their first-round selections. Anthony Black, the sixth overall pick, had eight points and seven rebounds. Jett Howard, the 11th overall pick, added 10 points and five assists. Caleb Houston led Orlando with 18 points. Tonight Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings, 10:00 p.m.              (at Cox Pavillion, Las Vegas) NBA – Pistons and Isaiah Stewart agree on $64 million, 4-year extension, source tells AP The Detroit Pistons and Isaiah Stewart have agreed on a $64 million, four-year contract extension, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. ESPN was first to report the post player’s deal with the Pistons. Stewart averaged a career-high 11.3 points and 8.1 rebounds last season. He was entering the last year of his rookie contract. NBA – Spurs decide that Wembanyama’s Summer League is over after 2 games Victor Wembanyama’s first and likely last Summer League is over. The San Antonio Spurs have seen all they needed from the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft and won’t play him during their remaining games in Las Vegas. Wembanyama’s final numbers from two games: 36 points, 20 rebounds, eight blocks and three assists on 41% shooting from the floor. He played about 54 minutes. Shutting him down from games starts what will be a needed break for the 19-year-old from France whose last professional season in his homeland started nearly a year ago. NHL – Yzerman finally makes splash, acquiring DeBrincat to give rebuilding Wings a boost Steve Yzerman made a major move to give the rebuildng Detroit Red Wings a desperately needed boost. Yzerman has preached and practiced patience for four-plus years as Red Wings general manager, but the bold move seems to signal a shift in his plan to get the franchise in gear quicker. The Hockey Hall of Famer acquired goal-scoring winger Alex DeBrincat from Ottawa on Sunday and signed him to a four-year extension worth about $7.8 million annually. Yzerman made a series of subtle deals earlier this summer, adding depth at every position, before making a splash with DeBrincat.   DeBrincat, who is from Farmington Hills, Michigan, was a fan of Detroit’s 2008 Stanley Cup championship team. His favorite player was dazzling center Pavel Datsyuk. NCAAFB – Northwestern fires coach Pat Fitzgerald after hazing allegations surface Northwestern has fired coach Pat Fitzgerald amid a hazing scandal that called into question his leadership of the program and damaged the university’s reputation after it mishandled its response to the allegations. Fitzgerald’s dismissal completed a rapid fall from grace for the former Northwestern linebacker. The 48-year-old Fitzgerald had been firmly entrenched at his alma mater, an annual fixture on any list of college coaches with the most job security. Northwestern President Michael Schill says the culture within Fitzgerald’s program was “broken” in some ways. Nassar – Disgraced sports doctor Nassar stabbed by another inmate at federal prison Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar has been stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida. Nassar is serving decades in prison after admitting sexually assaulting athletes at Michigan State University and at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, including Olympic medalists. Two people familiar with Nassar’s stabbing tell The Associated Press the attack happened Sunday at United States Penitentiary Coleman. The people say Nassar is in stable condition Monday. One of the people says Nassar was stabbed in the back and the chest. The people were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity. Tennis – Djokovic wants Wimbledon to start matches earlier at Centre Court. Novak Djokovic is a bit tired of not getting on Centre Court at Wimbledon until nearly 9 p.m. The waiting. The uncertainty. The rushing to try to finish matches by the 11 p.m. local curfew. The annoyance at having to stop midway through a contest and wait until the following day to resume. He offered a solution Monday afternoon after winning his 32nd consecutive match in the grass-court tournament by wrapping up a 7-6 (6), 7-6 (6), 5-7, 6-4 victory over Hubert Hurkacz that began Sunday evening but was halted after two sets: Start play in the All England Club’s main stadium earlier than 1:30 p.m. NCAAMBB –Huggins says he plans to stay in rehab and wants to return to WVU as coach Bob Huggins says he has checked into a rehabilitation facility following a drunken driving arrest and disputes that he resigned at West Virginia. Huggins issued a statement Monday saying he wanted to “set the record straight” on the events of the past two weeks since his arrest in Pittsburgh on June 16. Huggins says he never gave formal notice to resign under the terms of his contract. He also says a resignation statement issued by the university on June 17 indicating it was from Huggins was not drafted or reviewed by him. The university says it has no plans to reinstate Huggins. New York Times disbands sports department and will rely on coverage from The Athletic The New York Times is getting rid of its sports department and will instead rely on sports coverage from its website The Athletic going forward. The move impacts more than 35 people in the sports department, according to a report on the company’s website. Journalists on the sports desk will move to other roles in The New York Times newsroom. There are no plans for layoffs. The New York Times Co. announced early last year that it was buying The Athletic as part of a strategy to expand its audience of paying subscribers at a time when the newspaper print ads business continues to fade.

In this episode, Adam Spinella joins the show to break down the first week of college basketball action. We start with Emoni Bates, chat about some of the other terrific prospects who have looked great to start the season, such as Brandon Miller, Jett Howard, Keyonte George, and plenty others, We also chat about the G League Ignite's start to the season, including a Mojave King breakdown. Then, we do Tank Watch on the Hornets and Wizards. Then, Sam chats with Zach Edey, one of the most dominant players in the country for the last two years at Purdue, a 7-foot-4 center who establishes position whenever he wants. But his journey in basketball has been fascinating, going from Canada, where he played baseball and hockey to eventually finding basketball and embracing the grind. He explains his journey within the game at this point, and then dives deep into his game, explaining how it's not just his size that allows him to dominate games: it's his focus on the fundamentals and little things.
