Joey Ortiz (three hits), Brewers take series from Mets

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Joey Ortiz (3) hits a two-run triple off of New York Mets pitcher Christian Scott (45) during the second inning of their game Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Joey Ortiz (3) hits a two-run triple off of New York Mets pitcher Christian Scott (45) during the second inning of their game Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Joey Ortiz ripped a two-run triple, collected three hits and scored twice to fuel the Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon in Milwaukee.

Christian Yelich had an RBI single in Milwaukee’s three-run second inning and a run-scoring triple in the sixth for the Brewers, who captured the decisive contest of the three-game series. Milwaukee has won five of six games since the All-Star break.

Logan Henderson (4-1) allowed two runs on five hits and matched a career high with nine strikeouts over five innings. He also fanned nine batters in his MLB debut against the Athletics on April 20, 2025.

Aaron Ashby struck out four batters over two scoreless innings and Abner Uribe bridged the gap to Trevor Megill, who allowed New York’s Francisco Alvarez an RBI single in the ninth before retiring the side to secure his 16th save of the season.

Marcus Semien belted a solo homer in the second inning and Brett Baty added a homer in the fifth to atone for a previous miscue in the field.

Semien capped a seven-pitch at-bat by depositing a Henderson heater over the wall in left field. The homer was Semien’s 10th of the season and first since June 14.

Milwaukee responded with two outs in its half of the inning. Baty misplayed an Ortiz fly ball in right field and allowed Garrett Mitchell and Andrew Vaughn to score. Ortiz trotted home on Yelich’s single to left field off Christian Scott (3-2).

Baty halved New York’s deficit after belting a 1-2 changeup from Henderson over the wall in right field. The homer was Baty’s sixth of the season and third in the last seven games.

The Brewers got that run back in the sixth, as Ortiz scored following Yelich’s blast that caromed off the wall in center field.

Scott permitted three runs on four hits with three walks in 3 2/3 innings.

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).

FC Dallas signed 15-year-old U.S. forward Benji Flowers to a first-team deal and agreed to a future transfer to Chelsea FC when he turns 18, The Athletic reported Thursday.

Dallas will receive an initial fee of about $3 million from the Premier League side and up to an additional $7 million in performance-based add-ons, per the report. Triggers for the incentives include how many minutes he plays for Dallas as well as milestones with the U.S. youth national team. Dallas also will retain a sell-on clause, The Athletic reported.

Flowers recently traveled to London to complete the Chelsea portion of the deal, per the report.

Last month, Flowers was named to the MLS NEXT All-Star Game. The FC Dallas Academy product made his debut with North Texas SC on March 21 at 14 years, 11 months and seven days, making him the second-youngest player in that club’s history.

The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million deal Thursday and avoided a salary arbitration hearing.

Greaves, 25, filed for arbitration prior to the NHL’s July 5 deadline and had been scheduled for a hearing on Thursday in Toronto.

“Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club,” general manager and president of hockey operations Don Waddell said. “Our intent always was to get a deal done to ensure he remains a Blue Jacket and we are thrilled that we were able to do so.”

Greaves finished 26-19-9 with two shutouts, a 2.60 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 55 games in his first full season in 2025-26.

He is 36-28-11 with four shutouts, a 2.61 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 76 games since making his NHL debut with Columbus in April 2023.
