Guardians rookie forgets outs, throws ball into stands in mistake that costs team run

It’s the sort of moment rookies have nightmares about.

Guardians outfielder Cooper Ingle had an unfortunate moment Tuesday night in Cleveland when he forgot the number of outs and cost his team a run in an eventual 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

In the top of the seventh inning at Progressive Field, Ingle, thinking there were already two outs, made a routine play on a fly ball hit by Alejandro Osuna and tossed the ball into the stands.

The Rangers, who in actuality had a runner on second with still one more out to play, scored the go-ahead run when the ball went out of play, which allowed Ezequiel Duran to score.

Ingle went back to his position in disbelief and was charged with an error. It was a brutal mental mistake in a game his team would lose.

“Obviously, I feel terrible,” Ingle told reporters after the game. “It’s a pretty embarrassing feeling. … Yeah, honestly, when I threw the ball out, I heard a bunch of yelling. Happens sometimes, but just got to learn from it and not make the same mistake.”

The 24-year-old was making only his second major league start in the outfield and playing in his fourth game in the big leagues overall after being called up from Triple-A Columbus last week and making his debut last Friday.

Ingle said he’s prioritizing moving on from the moment.

“It’s not something that makes you feel great, but things like that happen for a reason and learning from those things and moving on and getting better from them, it’s pretty much the only thing you can do,” Ingle said.

His manager, Stephen Vogt, had a similar mindset.

“You’re playing in your second game in the outfield in the big leagues and a mistake like that. Let’s learn. So what? It’s over. Flush it. We’re not going to be mad at him,” Vogt said.

The Guardians are 44-42 on the season, two games behind the White Sox for first place in the AL Central.

76ers signing Dean Wade on $39 million contract to boost frontcourt

Dean Wade is heading to the City of Brotherly Love.

The free agent forward has agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal with the 76ers on Tuesday night, according to ESPN.

Wade, 29, is leaving the Cavaliers, a team where he established himself as a critical defending and shooting piece in the frontcourt. He spent the first seven years of his career in Cleveland after going undrafted and signing a two-way contract with the team in 2019.

Wade was the longest tenured Cavalier.

Until Tuesday, the Cavs and Wade had been in ongoing negotiations trying to work out a new deal before the start of free agency.

But by late Tuesday afternoon, it became clear that Wade would hit the free agency market, and now Philly scopped him up on the first day.

NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported that Philadelphia was expected to be one of several teams interested in acquiring Wade last week.

Wade’s defense made him an important piece of Cleveland’s rotation and allowed him to retain a consistent role there. His 6-foot-9 height and 6-foot-10 wingspan made it difficult for opposing guards and forwards to work around him.

Wade averaged 5.8 points and 4.2 rebounds alongside 1.5 assists per game during the 2025-26 season, shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from 3-point territory.

Wade started in 14 of the Cavaliers 18 playoff games this past season, where they reached their first Eastern Conference finals in eight years before being swept by the Knicks.

Wade only put up 4.4 points in 22.6 minutes per game in the playoffs, but his defense on stars like Scottie Barnes and Cade Cunningham made him a valuable piece of the Cavs’ run.

His plus-5.0 net rating was the highest among all Cavs players throughout the playoffs.

Wichita State University student drowns after jumping into frigid waters with deadly track record

Originally Published by:

A 21-year-old Wichita State University student drowned after jumping into a popular Oregon swimming hole where authorities say the water is cold enough to cause immediate physical shock.

Kenny Truong, of Wichita, Kansas, was visiting Tamolitch Falls, which is commonly known as Blue Pool, with friends Friday evening when he jumped into the water and was unable to get out, the Linn County Sheriff’s Office said.

Dispatchers received a 911 call at 8:47 p.m. on June 26 reporting that a man had gone into the pool, located off Highway 126, and was struggling.

“Witnesses describe him struggling as he swam toward shore, before submerging,” Linn County Undersheriff Micah Smith said in a release.

“Despite the best efforts of those at Tamolitch Falls who tried to help him, and the first responders who arrived in response to the 911 call, Kenny did not survive.”

The Linn County Sheriff’s Office, Lane County Sheriff’s Office and Upper McKenzie Rural Fire responded to the remote area Friday evening.

“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Kenny Truong, 21, of Kansas, during what is an unimaginable time,” Smith said.

Truong was a finance major at the W. Frank Barton School of Business and a member-at-large of the Cummings Student Managed Investment Fund, according to Wichita State University.

Blue Pool, known for its striking turquoise water and cliffside views, is a major draw for hikers and visitors across the Pacific Northwest, but officials warned it can be deadly.

“It is also a place that has taken lives before and will take lives again if visitors do not understand what they are facing,” Smith said.

Authorities said the cliffs surrounding the pool rise between 10 and 60 feet, while the water averages just 37 degrees.

The area also has minimal to no cellphone service, and rescue efforts can be complicated by the remote terrain.

“When something goes wrong at Blue Pool — or on the trail leading into the falls — it can take up to several hours from the moment of injury to reach a hospital,” the sheriff’s office said.

Carter Nguyen, the Truong family spokesperson, remembered the college student as a deeply loved friend with “fire in him” who pushed others to become “the brightest, best, fullest” versions of themselves.

“Kenny was the kind of person this world doesn’t see enough of. He was genuinely, unconditionally there for the people around him not just when things were good, but especially in the darkest of times,” Nguyen told Fox News Digital.

“He would set aside everything he had going on to make sure the people he loved were okay.”

“Kenny leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity, and light. We ask that you keep his family in your hearts, continue to lift them up, and honor his memory by carrying forward the same spirit he gave to all of us every single day,” he said.

The sheriff’s office urged visitors to understand the risks before entering the water at Tamolitch Falls, watch out for the people they arrive with and call 911 immediately if someone is in distress.

Officials said visitors with questions about current conditions should contact the McKenzie River Ranger Station.
