  Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr, joined Vladimir Sr. to  become the first father-son duo to win the All-Star Home Run Derby, beating  Tampa Bay’s Randy Arozarena 25-23 in the final round.

He defeated Julio Rodríguez 21-20 in  the semifinals after the Mariners star hit a record 41 in the first round in  front of his hometown fans.  Batting  against Blue Jays manager John Schneider, Guerrero was the last of the four  semifinalists to swing and the first of the finalists, setting a final round  record for homers to top Pete Alonso’s 23 two years ago. Vladimir Sr. won the  2007 derby.  Arozarena had the most  overall homers over the three rounds, 82 to Guerrero’s 72, and the most  distance at 33,077 feet. Arozarena overcame Luis Robert of the Chicago White  Sox 35-22 in the semifinals. Robert hit the longest drive of the night, a  484-foot shot to left in the second round. That topped the high of 476 feet by  Barry Bonds in the 2001 derby in Seattle.

NHL – Yzerman finally makes splash, acquiring  DeBrincat to give rebuilding Wings a boost

Yzerman made a series of subtle deals earlier this summer,  adding depth at every position, before making a splash with DeBrincat.   DeBrincat, who is from Farmington Hills,  Michigan, was a fan of Detroit’s 2008 Stanley Cup championship team. His  favorite player was dazzling center Pavel Datsyuk.

Tennis – Djokovic wants Wimbledon to start matches  earlier at Centre Court.

  Novak Djokovic is a bit tired of not getting on Centre  Court at Wimbledon until nearly 9 p.m. The waiting. The uncertainty. The  rushing to try to finish matches by the 11 p.m. local curfew.
