Vogelbach’s slam was his 10th of the season as the rest of his teammates joined in on the home run party.DJ Stewart added a solo shot in the fourth — his fourth in his past four games — and Pete Alonso crushed a two-run shot in the seventh for good measure to cap off the Mets’ homerun party.While the Amazin’s provided plenty of run support, it wasn’t exactly necessary with Kodai Senga on the hill in dominant form.

Vikings fall 24-16 to Titans after resting most of their starters

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:13 GMT

There wasn’t a ton of buzz heading into the preseason game between the Vikings and Tennessee Titans on Saturday night at U.S. Bank Stadium. The resale market pretty much spoke for itself as fans could get into building for less than $20 on StubHub.Frankly, it made sense considering the Vikings rested pretty much every starter on the roster, something head coach Kevin O’Connell has been known to do since taking over in Minnesota.As a result, the home crowd lacked energy throughout, and the Vikings ultimately fell 24-16 to the Titans. The loudest cheer of the night might’ve been when the video board alerted the fan base that star quarterback Kirk Cousins was celebrating his 35th birthday.The biggest thing the preseason game provided was a chance for young players like rookie quarterback Jaren Hall to gain more experience. After struggling in the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks last week, Hall was better against the Titans. He completed 4 of 7 pass attempt...
