Kyle Bradish flirts with no-hitter as Orioles extend Royals’ skid
Jul 11, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish (38) throws during the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Kyle Bradish took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the Baltimore Orioles extended their winning streak to three games after beating the visiting Kansas City Royals 6-1 on Saturday night.
Bradish (6-9) was done after 6 2/3 innings, charged with one run on two hits with two walks and five strikeouts. The outcome means that the right-hander avoided, at least for now, becoming the first 10-game loser in the major leagues this year.
Jac Caglianone rapped a single as the first batter in the seventh to break up the no-hit bid. He later scored on Salvador Perez’s sacrifice fly.
Grant Wolfram, Yennier Cano and Tyler Wells completed what became a combined two-hitter.
Pete Alonso smashed a two-run home run, and Coby Mayo, Taylor Ward and Gunnar Henderson all belted solo shots for the Orioles, who are assured of snapping a four-series losing streak at Camden Yards. Four of their six hits were homers.
The Royals have lost four consecutive games and eight of their last 11. First baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, coming off a hand injury to play in his first big league game since June 13, went 0-for-3 with a walk.
Royals starter Noah Cameron (5-7) struck out nine batters in seven innings, but he was charged with five runs on five hits and two walks.
Through six innings, the only Kansas City batters to reach base came in back-to-back plate appearances in the third inning. Isaac Collins got aboard on second baseman Jackson Holliday’s fielding error and Carter Jensen followed with a walk before Bradish retired Bobby Witt Jr. on a foul out.
Samuel Basallo, who was Baltimore’s hero Friday night with a game-winning home run, drove in a second-inning run with a single to open the scoring.
Alonso’s 21st homer came in the fourth inning. Mayo led off the fifth with a homer, and Ward’s shot came with one out in the sixth.
The Orioles were efficient with their baserunners, stranding just one runner on base in the seventh. Henderson’s homer led off the eighth.

Monique Akoa Makani scored 13 points and Lexi Held had 11 off the bench for Phoenix (8-16), which lost its third straight game.

Lucas Glover hangs onto narrow lead at ISCO
Lucas Glover heads down the fairway after driving the ball off the 1st tee to start of the third round of the ISCO Golf Championship at Hurstbourne Country Club.July 11, 2026
Lucas Glover shot a 2-under-par 68 Saturday to remain in first place at the ISCO Championship at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Ky.
Glover shot his worst round of the tournament after carding a 63 and 64 on Friday and Saturday, respectively. But his day still left him two strokes under par, 15 under for the tournament and featured an eagle and two birdies. More importantly, he held onto the lead he has now maintained through three rounds.
“it means you’re doing something right so you’ve got something to lean on there,” Glover said. “Just whatever you’re doing right, keep doing it.”
The 46-year-old stepped up to the par-5, 566-yard seventh a stroke over par. But his first two shots left him within a few feet of the hole, and he calmly sank the putt for an eagle that put him back on track for another stellar round.
Glover credited his drive for the eagle.
“That’s kind of a hard tee shot for me … with the fairway running left to right and the creek on the right, but hit a nice one there.”
Birdies on Holes 10 and 12 ensured another good day and another lead for the pro seeking his first win of the 2026 season. A win would be his seventh on the PGA Tour overall.
Aaron Wise made up two shots on the leader on Saturday, firing a 4-under 66 to get to within a shot of the pole position. Wise had six birdies on the day.
Interestingly, one of his two bogeys came on the seventh, the same hole Glover had his greatest success.
“Just kind of had to keep hanging in there because the score wasn’t showing it, it was just little things here or there,” Wise admitted. “But I look at tomorrow more as whatever happens, it’s just going to be a learning experience.”
Wise and Glover figure to have plenty of competition on Sunday.
Three golfers are tied for third at 13 under, among them Germany’s Stephan Jaeger, who carded a 5-under 65, one of the better rounds of the day. He balanced six birdies against a solitary bogey.
He’s joined by Steven Fisk and Chan Kim, who shot matching 68s on Saturday.
Zac Blair (64) and Tom Hoge (65) are tied for sixth at 12 under.
Rounding out the top ten at 11 under are four golfers: Canada’s Ben Silverman (64), Puerto Rico’s Rafael Campos (66), Canada’s Taylor Pendrith (66) and William Mouw (68).

Cristopher Sanchez returns to form as Phillies snap Tigers' win streak
Jul 11, 2026; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sánchez (61) throws during the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Mandatory Credit: Brian Bradshaw Sevald-Imagn Images J.T. Realmuto had a two-run double, All-Star Cristopher Sanchez tossed seven-plus strong innings, and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies ended the Detroit Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Saturday.
Sanchez (11-4) allowed two runs and 10 hits while striking out seven. Sanchez bounced back from his worst outing of the season when he surrendered nine runs to Kansas City on Monday. Jhoan Duran recorded his 24th save with a perfect ninth.
Eduardo Valencia homered for Detroit. Casey Mize (4-6) gave up all four runs (three earned) on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.
An error allowed the Phillies to take the lead in the third. Third baseman Kevin McGonigle made a throwing error on a Derek Hill grounder. Hill then stole second and third base before Trea Turner knocked him in with a sacrifice fly.
Detroit had two baserunners with two outs in the bottom of the inning. Ben Malgeri reached on an infield single before Hill, playing center field, robbed Zach McKinstry of an extra base hit with a diving grab. Matt Vierling followed with a single but Sanchez escaped the jam by striking out McGonigle. Philadelphia then extended its lead in the fourth.
Brandon Marsh drew a leadoff walk, and Bryson Stott had a one-out single. Realmuto then took advantage of a hanging slider and drove in both runners with a double to left. Realmuto scored one out later on a Hill single.
Valencia put the Tigers on the board in the fifth with his second homer in three games since being called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league debut on Thursday. Singles by Hao-Yu Lee and Vierling put runners on the corners with two outs. McGonigle then flied out to left-center.
Detroit had another threat in the seventh after back-to-back leadoff singles by Valencia and Lee. Sanchez then struck out Malgeri before inducing McKinstry to bounce into a double play.
Sanchez departed after Vierling drew a walk and McGonigle singled in the eighth. Dillon Dingler was hit by a Jonathan Bowlan pitch to load the bases. Spencer Torkelson bounced into a double play as Vierling scored, making the score 4-2. After Riley Greene walked, Valencia grounded out to end the inning.
The Tigers finished 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, stranding seven.
