Starler Frankie Montes was rubbed up in a 4 run 4th inning as the Oakland Athletics edged the Brewers 4 to 3.

Oakland avoided a sweep. Milwaukee got home runs from William Thomas and Gary Sanchez,

but only managed to come up with 2 more hits Sunday. Montes gave up all 4 runs in 6 innings of pitching.

The Brewers come out of the weekend with a 10 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League's Central Division standings.

They are off tonight returning home to host the San Francisco Giants starting tomorrow.

With final roster's due tomorrow, several players had a final shot at earning a job with the Packers in the final preseason game.

Green Bay won 30 to 7, but the score wasn't the important thing coming out of Saturday.

Defense of End, Aaron Mosby had a strip sack resulting in a touchdown and also an interception.

Linebacker Christian Welch created a turnover for the 3rd straight game.

It will become apparent whether those efforts were enough. The Packers began the regular season a week from Friday in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles.

In national news now, Yankee slugger Aaron Judge hits his 50th Homer of the season,

connecting in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies.

Then he connected for number 51 in the 7th in New York's 10-3 Victory.

Judge drove in 0-2 changeup from Austin Gomber into the visiting bullpen and left center to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.

It was his 18th Homer in the first this season, matching Alex Rodriguez in 2001 for the Major League record.

Judge joined Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, and Babe Ruth as the only players in Major League history with 3-50 Homer seasons.

Restanielmo B, Boston Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen is enjoying his odd slice of baseball history

as he prepares to become the first Major League player ever to appear in the same game for both teams.

Jansen was in the lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays when their June 26th game in Boston was suspended because of rain.

It was rescheduled to be made up on Monday, Toronto's first trip back to Fenway Park.

In the meantime, Jansen was treated to Boston.

Red Sox Manager Alex Cora has said he will put Jansen in the lineup when the game resume.
