Ohtani and Tatis hit by pitches again as Dodgers-Padres rivalry boils over
It took seven games over 11 days for the simmer to reach full boil. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres flashed playoff intensity in their long-awaited first two series of the season and went face-to-face, quite literally, after 10 batters were hit during a stretch the Dodgers owned on the scoreboard. In winning five of the seven games, the Dodgers also hit Fernando Tatis Jr with pitches three times. The last of those came in the eighth inning of Thursday's 5-3 Padres victory when the benches finally cleared after Tatis was hit near the right hand. While the staredown behind home plate was more peacock feathers than fisticuffs, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Padres manager Mike Shildt were ejected following a tense back-and-forth exchange. Afterward, the Padres' Manny Machado said his true feelings won't be known until Tatis gets results from X-rays and a CT scan. 'They gotta pray for [results] to come back negative tomorrow,' Machado said. 'They should. Us, too, but they should for sure.' After Tatis was hit, the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani took a pitch to the back of his right (pitching) shoulder from Robert Suárez. With Dodgers players starting to move over the dugout railing, Ohtani waved back his teammates and took first base. Shohei Ohtani plays peacemaker at the end of another wild game between the Padres and Dodgers. 'Well, I think he knew it was intentional,' Roberts said. 'He wasn't hurt by it, and he didn't want any more drama, which I respect that a lot.' Ohtani was hit twice in the series, each a half inning after Tatis was hit. The Dodgers' Andy Pages also was hit twice in the series. Roberts said he hoped Tatis does not miss extended time. 'I didn't feel good about Tatis – great player, good guy – getting hit,' Roberts said. 'I didn't feel good about it. And so as [Shildt] comes out, and he's yelling at me and staring me down, that bothers me. Because, to be quite frank, that's the last thing I wanted.' Shildt said he has respect for the Dodgers but seeing Tatis get hit three times by their pitchers in less than two weeks doesn't sit right. He has also been hit by the Dodgers six times in his career, the most by any club. 'Whether it was [intentional] or it wasn't, enough is enough,' Shildt said. 'We got a guy who's getting X-rays right now, is one of the best players in the game, fortunately he's on our team, and this guy has taken shots, OK?' While the teams waited more than two months to face each other for the first time this season, there will be another two-month wait until they face off again 15-17 August at Los Angeles and 22-24 August at San Diego. 'It's going to be a fun ride,' Machado said. 'This division's freaking awesome, and it's going to be a fun ride going down the road. The Giants got better with [Rafael] Devers, and we know what these guys have on the other side. And what we have on this side. And obviously you can't count out Arizona. They've got a really good team over there. They're going to be battling. It's a four-headed monster battling it out, so it'll be an interesting second half.'

MIKI Sudo has been the world's most successful female competitive eater for more than a decade. The 10-time champ will be back to defend her title at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2025 — here's everything you need to know about her. 5 5 Who is Miki Sudo? Born on July 22, 1985, Miki Sudo is a competitive eater from New York City. In 2014, she defeated Sonya Thomas at the annual Fourth of July Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and continued to win each year from 2014 to 2020. In 2021, she missed the competition because she was pregnant but returned the following year to claim her eighth title after consuming 40 hot dogs and buns. On July 4, 2024, Miki won the competition for the tenth time. Outside of her impressive Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest titles, she has also been the Major League Eating's top-ranked female competitive eater since 2014. Miki holds world records in ice cream — downing two gallons in six minutes — and kimchi — getting through a whopping eight and a half pounds in six minutes.

Northern Knights and Leinster Lightning roar to final day wins in Cork
Cade Carmichael top-scored for the Knights, making an unbeaten 39 in the morning's all-Ulster clash — one of four players to pass 30. Ben Calitz provided the late impetus to their innings, clearing the ropes four times in a 12-ball 35, while Morgan Topping and Neil Rock each made 31 — the latter also hitting four maximums in a total of 175 for five. Graham Hume (three for 24) was by far the pick of the North-West attack on a pitch that offered more assistance than normal. The Warriors' chase was a poor one as they were bundled out for just 66 as their batting struggled from the outset. It was certainly a case of 'spin to win' with Instonians' left-arm spinner taking three wickets, as did fellow tweaker Carson McCullough. CSNI professional Sean Davey also claimed two scalps as Simon Johnston's side recorded their second bonus point victory of the week by a whopping 109 runs. They were joined at the top of the table by defending Champions Leinster Lightning, who showed they will still be the team to beat when at full strength. Munster would have been relatively happy at the midway stage after posting 166 for six, with former Ireland Under-19 captain Philippe Le Roux top-scoring with a 36-ball unbeaten 64 (six fours, three sixes) and Wednesday's centurion Stephen Doheny making 35. Pembroke's Gavin Hoey took four wickets in a fine exhibition of leg-spin as the Dubliner's bowling unit stuck to their task well. Any thoughts of a home win were quickly dispelled in a barrage of boundaries from the opening pair of Chris De Freitas and Tim Tector. Balbriggan left-hander De Freitas — widely tipped for international recognition — hit seven sixes and five fours in a whirlwind 70 from only 29 deliveries, sharing an opening stand of 118 in just 8.5 overs with Tector (45) to effectively decide the contest. Bakhtyar Nabi took three wickets, but it was only delaying the inevitable as Lightning won by six wickets in the 16th over. The teams are all back in action next week at Stormont for the second of four scheduled Festivals.
