Baseball's two newest Hall of Famers, Fred McGriff and Scott Rolen, joined the ranks of the immortals on Sunday in the same understated manner that marked both players' long careers.

McGriff and Rolen were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday during a ceremony on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, New York, when two players who often shunned the limelight were tasked with speaking to a throng of fans in attendance as well as a national television audience on the MLB Network. Both responded with eloquent speeches.

San Diego Padres slugger Manny Machado belted his 300th career home run Saturday to continue his July power surge in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Machado's homer off Matt Strahm (6-3) to lead off the eighth inning in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader put the Padres up 4-3 in a game that they eventually lost 6-4. It was Machado's eighth home run of the month and his fourth in the past three games.

"What he's done in the last couple of weeks has been pretty torrid," Padres manager Bob Melvin said.

Now two generations of Vladimir Guerreros have won the Home Run Derby.

On a night that Julio Rodriguez put on a record-setting show in front of a hometown crowd, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the night, ousting Rodriguez and beating Randy Arozarena in the finals to capture the Home Run Derby.

All-Star Mookie Betts hit his 10th leadoff homer for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night to become the second player to accomplish the feat before the All-Star break in major league history. Three-time All-Star Bobby Bonds in 1973 is the only other player to do it.

Betts' 408-foot solo shot, his 26th of the season, came on the second pitch of the game by Angels starter Reid Detmers.

Matt Manning wasn't upset about being pulled while pitching a no-hitter.

He said he didn't even realize it until someone told him in the dugout.

"I had no idea," he said. "I was like, 'well, dang,'"

By the time the game was over, everyone at Comerica Park knew what Manning and relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange had achieved.

Foley and Lange finished what Manning started, and the Tigers no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2-0 win on Saturday.

Nobody has had a first half of the season like Ronald Acuna Jr.

Atlanta's four-time All-Star outfielder made history Monday night by becoming the first player to reach 20 home runs, 40 stolen bases and 50 RBIs before the All-Star break.

"Special player," Braves manager Brian Snitker said after Atlanta extended its winning streak to nine straight and moved 30 games over .500 by beating the Cleveland Guardians 4-2.
