Giancarlo Stanton stole his first base in the regular season since 2020 and had a go-ahead, two-run single to help the New York Yankees beat the Miami Marlins 9-7 on Saturday night for their first 7-1 start in seven seasons.

Stanton snapped a 6-6 tie in the eighth with a clean single to left field off Michael Petersen (1-1) after the reliever walked three. In the seventh, Stanton swiped second for his first steal in a non-playoff game since Aug. 3, 2020.

The Yankees won in their final at-bat for the first time this year after Javier Sanoja hit a tying two-run double off Camilo Doval in the eighth. Brett Headrick (1-0) finished the eighth, and David Bednar loaded the bases before getting his fourth save.

Cody Bellinger helped the Yankees rally from a four-run deficit through four innings by hitting a two-run homer in the fifth and lifting a sacrifice fly in the sixth for a 5-4 lead.

Clay Holmes and Tobias Myers combined on a three-hitter and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 9-0 on Saturday night.

Holmes (2-0) matched his career high with seven innings and allowed only one runner past first base. The right-hander gave up three hits and had four strikeouts with two walks.

Myers retired the final six batters in order for the Mets’ first shutout of the season.

Mark Vientos had three hits, and Tyrone Taylor hit a pinch three-run homer and drove in four runs. Marcus Semien, Bo Bichette and Brett Baty each had two hits.

It wasn’t pretty, but Michigan has its first national title in 37 years.

The Wolverines beat UConn 69-63 to win the 2026 men’s NCAA tournament. It’s the second national championship in program history and snaps a 25-year title drought for the Big Ten. 

Before Michigan’s win on Monday night, Michigan State’s title in 2000 was the last time a Big Ten team had won a men’s basketball championship.

Michigan entered the game scoring at least 90 points in each of its first five NCAA tournament games. The Wolverines became the first team ever to achieve that feat. And it was quickly apparent that 90 would be well out of reach in the title game.

Michigan entered the game with a massive size advantage over UConn in the front court. 

The expected changes to the New York Giants coaching staff under new head coach John Harbaugh have begun. With the exception of Charlie Bullen all of the team’s 2025 defensive coaches have been let go.

Assistant coaches Andre Patterson (defensive line), John Egorugwu (inside linebackers), Marquand Manuel (secondary coach/pass game coordinator) and Jeff Burris (cornerbacks) will not be retained. Assistant defensive line coach Bryan Cox had previously been fired by interim head coach Mike Kafka.

Bullen, the outside linebackers coach, did an excellent job as interim defensive coordinator after taking over for the fired Shane Bowen. Bullen has a previous relationship with GM Joe Schoen, and has also been getting interviews for vacant defensive coordinator positions. Bullen is not yet guaranteed to remain on Harbaugh’s staff.

The defense massively underperformed in 2025 under Bowen. When Brian Daboll was fired as head coach in the middle of the 2025 season and GM Joe Schoen was retained, ownership made it clear that it felt the Giants’ biggest issue had been coaching.

Just about everyone in the Mets’ lineup got in on the act on Monday night, and it led to a victory to open their seven-game road trip.

With all nine members of the Mets’ lineup reaching base and eight of them collecting hits, the Mets wore down the Cardinals and collected a 4-2 win on Monday night at Busch Stadium.

There were plenty of encouraging signs for the Mets offense along the way. Bo Bichette, who entered the game 1-for-14, picked up his second hit of the season — the go-ahead RBI single in the fifth inning — drove in two of the team’s runs.

In his first start of the season, Jared Young tagged an RBI double into right field and Juan Soto tacked on another RBI on a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning.

The Mets pitching staff did not need much support. Clay Holmes allowed two earned runs in 5⅔ innings while Tobias Myers and Brooks Raley combined to allow one hit in 2⅓ innings.

The Jets are turning to their quarterback past to make it through the present. The Jets sent the Las Vegas Raiders a sixth-round pick for former Jets quarterback Geno Smith, who was originally drafted by the Jets in 2013. 

As part of the trade, Smith agreed to restructure his contract, and the Raiders are eating most of the deal. He had two years and $66 million remaining on his contract before the restructure. Now, the Raiders will pay him $16.2 million and the Jets are on the hook for $3.3 million.

Smith is the favorite to be the starter for the Jets in 2026. 

The expectation is the Jets will try to find their franchise quarterback in the 2027 draft when they have three first-round picks and the class is expected to be loaded, unlike this year. But they need to get through 2026 first, and that is where Smith’s return comes in.

Smith, 35, had one dismal season with the Raiders after finding success with the Seahawks in 2022 and 2023. He had 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions last year for Vegas in a tough situation where the offensive line was terrible, and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was fired during the season.

The Mets knocked out NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes in the first inning with a five-run inning and continued to add on runs from there, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-7, on Opening Day at Citi Field.

The Mets are now 42-23 on Opening Day, the best such winning percentage in MLB.

The Mets’ new-look offense was on full display in the season opener as they made contact in key situations, worked many deep counts in critical at-bats, and produced when it counted, going 5-for-15 with runners in scoring position.

Call it an early return on David Stearns’ offseason priority to build an offense with “more competitive at-bats 1-through-9″ compared to seasons past.

With that in mind the Mets scored the first nine runs without a home run, as they had traffic on the bases all day. For the game they produced 11 hits while taking nine walks.

A recent study published in the journal Neurology suggests that consuming artificial sweeteners may accelerate brain aging by over 1.5 years. The research, conducted by a team of medical researchers  in Brazil, examined the effects of artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline. The study analyzed data from nearly 13,000 people aged 35 to 75 over an eight-year period.

They discovered that people who consumed the highest amounts of the sweeteners experienced faster declines in thinking and memory skills compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts.

The sweeteners studied included aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol.

The study found that the effects were more pronounced in individuals under 60 and those with diabetes. The study is observational and does not prove causation, but it raises important questions about the long-term impact of artificial sweeteners on brain health.
