Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 353 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions in his return and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats beat the Ottawa Redblacks 16-12. Mitchell had come back from a four-game absence after being placed on the six-game injured list due to a hip ailment in June. But he got hurt late in the game and was in the tunnel post-game on crutches in a walking boot.
Kevin Gausman (GAWZ’-min) added to his American League-leading total of 171 with nine strikeouts and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1. He got the help of Whit Merrifield who went 3 for 4, including a home run. Matt Chapman and Danny Jansen also homered, while Bo Bichette scored Merrifield with a double in the sixth inning.
Anthony Santander homered in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 1-0 win over New York, spoiling Aaron Judge’s return for the Yankees. Judge walked three times in his first game back from a toe injury.
Triston Casas homered and hit an R-B-I double to back Kutter Crawford, and the Boston Red Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 for their fifth straight win. Crawford had seven strikeouts with one walk, while allowing one run on three hits over five and two-thirds innings. Crawford surrendered only Michael Conforto’s R-B-I single in the sixth.
Cal Raleigh and Tom Murphy hit back-to-back, two-run doubles in a four-run first, Logan Gilbert threw six and one-third strong innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2. The Mariners have won three straight and have an 8-and-6 mark since the All-Star break. The Diamondbacks continued their extended slide, falling to 6-and-15 in July.
Aaron Brown and Camryn Rogers enjoyed plenty of success at the Canadian track and field championships in Langley, B-C. Brown won his fifth straight national title in the men’s 100 metres with a time 10.08 seconds. Rogers, meanwhile, won the women’s hammer throw with a Canadian championship record of 77.43 metres. Six-time Olympic medallist Andre De Grasse missed the cut for the 100 final.
