D-backs take makeup game with Cardinals as Tyler Locklear stars
Jul 23, 2026; St. Louis, Missouri, USA; Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt (32) throws against St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Blaze Jordan (33) during the fourth inning at Busch Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images Brandon Pfaadt threw six quality innings and Tyler Locklear went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs on Thursday to help the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks earn a 10-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The standalone game was a make-up from June 25, when the clubs had their series finale postponed due to weather.
Pfaadt (5-1) won his fifth straight game, allowing two runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out one for the Diamondbacks, who won their third straight and ninth of their last 11. Gabriel Moreno tallied three hits and drove in two runs for Arizona, which posted a five-run eighth inning and had 16 total hits. Adrian Del Castillo and Ildemaro Vargas also finished with three hits apiece.
Michael McGreevy (4-8) threw 6 1/3 innings of four-run, seven-hit ball, striking out three and walking three for St. Louis, which dropped its sixth game in eight tries. Lars Nootbaar drove in three runs for the Cardinals.
Arizona threatened in the opening inning, as Geraldo Perdomo walked and Moreno singled to place runners on the corners with one out. McGreevy escaped, though, getting Max Kepler to ground into an inning-ending double play.
St. Louis began the bottom of the first with JJ Wetherholt’s leadoff single before Jordan Walker’s RBI double gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. Alec Burleson followed with a base hit before Nootbaar’s single to center doubled the margin.
Arizona answered in the top of fourth. Kepler drew a leadoff walk before advancing to third on Del Castillo’s double. Tim Tawa then drove in the visitors’ first run with a sacrifice fly. After McGreevy retired Vargas, Locklear hit his first home run of the season to give the Diamondbacks a 3-2 lead.
Arizona tacked on in the fifth, as Corbin Carroll began the frame with his 12th triple of the year, before scoring on Moreno’s sac fly.
After McGreevy retired Ryan Waldshmidt for the first out of the seventh, Justin Bruihl entered in relief.
In the top of the eighth, Moreno doubled and Del Castillo slashed an RBI single off Bruihl, pushing the Arizona lead to 5-2. Matt Svanson then entered for St. Louis, walking Tawa and allowing Vargas’ single to load the bases.
The Diamondbacks then blew the game open, as Locklear and Nolan Arenado hit back-to-back run-scoring singles, before Carroll’s sac fly extended the lead to 8-2. Moreno continued the parade with an RBI single, his second hit of the inning.
Arenado drove in another run with a two-out single in the ninth.
Ryan Thompson allowed Bryan Torres and Nootbaar’s two-run singles in the ninth, but retired Masyn Winn to end the game.

“Day in and day out for 16 seasons, Patrick captivated the city of Chicago with his dazzling skill, creating some of the most memorable moments in Blackhawks history as he helped bring our storied franchise back to the pinnacle of our sport,” Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said. “He’s shown on countless occasions that he knows what it takes to win at the highest levels, and we couldn’t be prouder for Patrick to once again call the United Center home and continue to shine in Chicago’s brightest lights.”

Kane contributed 57 points (16 goals, 41 assists) in 67 games with the Red Wings in 2025-26.
Kane is a nine-time All-Star and the NHL’s all-time leader in points by an American-born player. He and Alex Ovechkin are the only players with at least 40 points in each of the past 19 seasons.

WR Tyreek Hill: 'No power' in left leg after surgeries
Sep 29, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) is tended to by medical staff after injuring his leg against the New York Jets during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-Imagn Images Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.
The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.
“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”
Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.
With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.
“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.
The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.
Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).
