VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS OF ALDS GAME ONE BETWEEN TORONTO BLUE JAYS AND NEW YORK YANKEES SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA (OCTOBER 4, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions before use) STORY: Alejandro Kirk homered twice and the Toronto Blue Jays trounced the New York Yankees 10-1 Saturday (October 4) in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had three hits, including a homer, and added a sacrifice fly, while Nathan Lukes had three RBIs to help the Blue Jays to their first postseason win since 2016. Aaron Judge had two hits for the Yankees but struck out with the bases loaded in the sixth. Guerrero hit his first career postseason home run with two out in the first against Luis Gil (0-1), a shot to left on a 2-1 changeup. In the second, Guerrero was a factor defensively. He snared Ryan McMahon's broken-bat line drive and stepped on first for an inning-ending double play. Kirk led off the home second with his first career postseason homer when he cranked a first-pitch fastball to left. Tim Hill replaced Gil after Guerrero's two-out single in the third and allowed Addison Barger's infield hit before ending the inning. Gil allowed two runs, four hits with no walks and two strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Lukes made a diving catch before skidding across the right-field line to rob Jazz Chisholm Jr. of a hit in the fifth. The Yankees loaded the bases with none out in the sixth on Anthony Volpe's double high off the left-field wall, Austin Wells's single and Trent Grisham's walk. Judge struck out before Cody Bellinger's walk plated a run. Louis Varland replaced Kevin Gausman (1-0) with two out and struck out Giancarlo Stanton. Gausman allowed one run, four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Seranthony Dominguez replaced Varland in the seventh after McMahon's one-out single. Luke Weaver walked Daulton Varsho to lead off Toronto's seventh. Anthony Santander and Gimenez singled to score a run. Fernando Cruz replaced Weaver. Pinch runner Myles Straw was forced at third on Ernie Clement's bunt and George Springer walked to load the bases. Lukes lined a two-run double to right and Guerrero hit a sacrifice fly to center for a 6-1 lead. Brendon Little pitched around Judge's double in the eighth. Kirk led off the home eighth with a homer against Paul Blackburn. Gimenez added an RBI double, Clement had a sacrifice fly and Lukes contributed an RBI single.

TWO STILLS OF SANCHEZ PLAYING AGAINST THE NEW YORK GIANTS ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (FILE – DECEMBER 30, 2012) (REUTERS – Access all) 3. TWO STILLS OF SANCHEZ PLAYING AGAINST THE BUFFALO BILLS STORY: Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez was charged with battery after a fight in downtown Indianapolis that left him hospitalised with stab wounds on Saturday (October 4) shortly after midnight, police and the TV network said. Indianapolis police charged Sanchez, 38, with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication, all misdemeanours. Sanchez is still in the hospital and was not booked in the county jail, police said in a statement, adding that final decisions on charges will be made by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. The prosecutor’s office did not immediately return a request for comment. An earlier statement from Indianapolis police said two men were in a “physical disturbance” in downtown Indianapolis around 12:30 a.m., with one receiving stab wounds and the other cuts. A statement from Fox Sports said Sanchez was in stable condition in the hospital. Police said the fight was “an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence.” The other man’s name was not released. Indianapolis police do not identify victims or suspects “unless the suspect is arrested, charged or being sought,” the statement said. The second man told police he was making a food delivery when Sanchez took issue with where he was parked and became aggressive, according to a report on the Fox59 local TV station. The driver said he tried unsuccessfully to defend himself with pepper spray before stabbing Sanchez, Fox59 reported. The account could not be confirmed by Reuters. Sanchez played 10 seasons in the NFL, starting with the New York Jets for five years before short stints with several other franchises. He has not played in the National Football League since 2018. He was slated to cover the Sunday game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Fox Sports. “We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support,” the network said in a statement posted on X. “Sending our thoughts and love to Mark Sanchez and his family. Hoping for a speedy recovery, 6,” said the Jets, referencing his jersey number. (Production: Mussab Al-Khairalla, Adam Hunger, Gary Hershorn, Doug Benz, Conal Quinn)

VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MLB GAME BETWEEN MILWAUKEE BREWERS AND CHICAGO CUBS SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 4, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions before use) STORY: Ace right-hander Freddy Peralta shook off a leadoff homer and pitched effectively into the sixth inning to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday (October 4)  in the opener of their best-of-five National League Division Series. Cubs starter Matthew Boyd (0-1) failed to get out of a six-run Milwaukee first inning. The Brewers added three runs in the second, batting around in both innings to go in front 9-1. Peralta (1-0), who led the National League with 17 victories during the regular season, allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out nine and walking three in a 95-pitch outing. He allowed the opening homer by Michael Busch and a two-out solo homer in the sixth by Ian Happ. By the time Happ hit his solo homer and Nico Hoerner added a solo homer for Chicago off Jared Koenig in the eighth, the game was long since over. The Brewers answered Busch's homer with six runs off Boyd in the bottom of the first. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang and William Contreras opened with consecutive doubles to put Milwaukee up 2-1. Andrew Vaughn walked with one out, then Contreras scored when second baseman Hoerner booted Sal Frelick's grounder. With two outs, Blake Perkins capped an 11-pitch at-bat with an RBI single to center to make the score 4-1 and chase Boyd after 30 pitches. Michael Soroka relieved and walked Joey Ortiz to load the bases. Chourio followed with a two-run single to left to make it 6-1 — Hoerner's error making the final four runs unearned. Milwaukee made the score 9-1 in the second. Contreras, Yelich and Vaughn opened with consecutive singles to load the bases. Caleb Durbin drove in two runs with a one-out single to make it 8-1. Aaron Civale relieved Soroka and Chourio beat out an infield RBI single to third – making him the first player in postseason history to register three hits in the first two innings. Boyd registered just two outs while allowing six runs (two earned) on four hits, one walk and one strikeout. Soroka gave up three runs on five hits in one inning, walking two in a 38-pitch outing. Chourio, who missed most of August with a strained right hamstring, was removed for a pinch runner after legging out that infield single. Chourio was diagnosed with right hamstring tightness and underwent an MRI. The second game of the best-of-five series will be in Milwaukee on Monday night. (Production: David Grip)

STILL OF SALAH REACTING TO ESTEVAO'S WINNER STORY: A stoppage time winner from teenager Estevao Willian earned Chelsea a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday (October 4), condemning the champions to a third defeat in a row in all competitions. The 18-year-old Brazilian poked home from a Marc Cucurella cross in the fifth minute of time added on for his first Chelsea goal, in a fast and furious game at Stamford Bridge. The result left Arne Slot's team in second place in the table on 15 points, one behind Arsenal. Chelsea rise to sixth on 11. Estevao's goal sent Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca into a frenzy and he raced along the touchline to celebrate wildly, earning a second yellow card and a dismissal from referee Anthony Taylor. He is unlikely to worry about the cards after his team put in a spirited display against Liverpool. Maresca's assistant Willy Caballero, standing in for his boss, told reporters the Italian was very happy. "He wants me to praise the players, because the effort that they've done today," Caballero said. "We believe that we deserve the victory after the chances that we created and how we play, and thanks to football and thanks to the effort of the players, we scored in the last second, and we got the three points today." Liverpool had looked to have secured a point through a second-half equaliser from Cody Gakpo. The Dutch forward scored in the 63rd minute with the visitors upping the pressure, pushing home a flick from Alexander Isak. Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo had put the home side ahead in the 12th minute with a thunderous shot from outside the area. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate stood off the Ecuadorean and he found space and sent a rocket post Georgi Mamardashvili into the top right corner. The game was played at a furious pace and Liverpool had their chances, notably when Isak headed over late in the first half and Mo Salah sent the ball just wide early in the second. But Chelsea's work rate and intent shaded the contest. Enzo Fernandez hit the post in the 90th minute before speedy substitute Estevao hit the winner. Caballero said the winger, who joined Chelsea in August, was a joy to be around. "He's a really good kid, very sympathetic, always smiling. It's always good, and we are so happy for him because he needed it, we needed it, and he needed that goal as well." It was the third defeat in a row for Liverpool who were riding high at the top of the table before losing to Crystal Palace last weekend and dropping points on Saturday. In between they lost to Galatasaray in the Champions League. "We were the dominant team but in the last 10-15 mins it was end to end, both teams could have scored," Liverpool coach Arne Slot said. "Both teams arrived a lot of times at the 18-yard line. These are the margins that don't fall for us at the moment." (Production: David Klein, Matthew Childs, Conal Quinn)
