Fire 1, Red Bulls 0: A first half goal was all the Fire needed against the Red Bulls. It was New York's first loss in their last seven games. Despite the loss, the Red Bulls still hold onto their spot in the race to the playoffs.
Justine Henin took care of Svetlana Kuznetsova to win the U.S. Open title in straight sets. She didn't just win the final in straight sets, she went a perfect 14-0 in her seven matches. Is it too much to ask to see a compelling women's final every once in a while? There hasn't been a third set at the U.S. Open since 1995. The French Open has had six consecutive straight-sets wins. The Australian Open's streak is five, with Wimbledon's just two. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will try to put on a better show Sunday after both won in -- yep -- straight sets in their semifinals.
S.I. Yankees 4, Valleycats 3: Staten Island is also in the NY-Penn League playoffs, but as the wild card. Braedyn Pruitt singled home the winning run. Don't look now, but the Baby Bombers are playing better than the Cyclones.
S.I. Yankees 8, Renegades 3: The Baby Bombers kept pace with the Cyclones by winning their own game. If they don't catch the Cyclones over the final week of the season, the Yankees are in a good position to secure the wild card slot for the playoffs.

For the first time since the 2004 Australian Open, Federer will not be the top seed at a Grand Slam event.

- Yankees 6 Royals 3: At this point, the YES Network should just play a “ch-ching” sound everytime A-Rod steps up to the plate. After hitting a home run for the 5th-consecutive game on Sunday, A-Rod has 52 for the season, the most for a Yankee since Mantle and Maris hit 54 and 61 in 1961. He also has 138 RBI’s with 19 games left, which puts him in line to have the most RBI’s as a Yankee since Joe DiMaggio had 155 in 1948.
