Seattle’s afternoon started with closer Paul Sewald being traded to Arizona and outfielder AJ Pollock getting dealt to San Francisco.The day ended with the Mariners reaching their highwater mark for the season.Raleigh hit a towering fly ball leading off the second inning that had enough carry to sneak into the right field seats for his 15th homer of the season.

SYDNEY (AP) — The Philippine Football Federation said Tuesday that Alen Stajcic has decided not to continue as head coach of its national soccer team just two days after the side played its final group game at the Women’s World Cup.The federation said the Australian coach is set to “explore other options” after he was recently linked with the vacant role with Perth Glory’s A-League men’s side.Stajcic is a former coach of the Australian women’s team who was removed from his position just before the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France. No official reason was given by Australian officials. The Philippine federation praised Stajcic for “changing the landscape of Philippine football forever” after taking the country to its first World Cup.His side upset co-hosts New Zealand in a historic 1-0 win but lost later matches to Switzerland and Norway, including a 6-0 defeat Sunday to the Norwegians that meant the Philippines would not qualify for the knockout stage.Previous...Chinese state media report 11 dead and 27 missing in flooding around the capital, Beijing, after days of heavy rain

Things started promisingly enough.Coming off a couple of walk-off losses in San Francisco, the Red Sox took the lead almost immediately in Monday’s series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Jarren Duran led off the game with a walk, stole second and came all the way around to score after forcing a pair of bad throws from the Mariners defense.As it turned out, that was nearly all the offense the Red Sox could muster all night.Boston’s bats fell silent again on Monday, and though the score was close throughout the wheels ultimately came off late as the Mariners raced past the Red Sox 6-2. The club wasted a brilliant performance by Nick Pivetta and was ultimately undone by a pair of Cal Raleigh solo home runs and by a four-run Mariners rally in the eighth that put the game out of reach.The result was one of the most deflating losses of the season, which came less than a day before Tuesday’s trade deadline.The obvious bright spot of the evening was Pivetta.
