Maybe what was missing was bad blood. The Yankees had tried shaking up the lineup, pounding on tables and calling out the energy level in the dugout. Maybe it took Aaron Judge getting plunked and some yelling back and forth with the Blue Jays to spark the fire that had been missing. Or more likely…

Standing atop the hill, surrounded by a throng of kids half his height, Adley Rutschman looked out on the scene at Lamade Stadium.

One yard. That’s all you needed from the Miami Dolphins’ starting offensive line. One stinkin’ yard against the Las Vegas Raiders junior varsity Saturday night to reinforce this constructed Summer of Love. Second-and-1. Ball at the Raiders 24-yard line. You don’t ask for much in preseason. You don’t even ask for teams to show up…

Q: So in regards to the Tyler Herro extension, is Tyler going to be bummed he’s having to wait on it? Or do you think he wants another season to try and play his way to a max deal? I think the Heat are holding off more than just to preserve a trade chip. I…
