Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw blasted Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell for intentionally walking James Outman with the Dodgers leading 6-0 with two outs in the top of the 9th inning Thursday just before catcher Austin Barnes was hit in the right hand by an Ian Gibaut pitch, and Kershaw added that he didn't agree with a lot of what Bell did during the three-game series won by the Reds. Barnes left the game after the HBP, but later said an X-ray on his hand came back negative. "Pretty ridiculous that they walked the guy in front of (Barnes) in that situation," Kershaw said after the game, per the Los Angeles Times' Jack Harris. "I don't agree with that, or a lot their manager did this series." Harris tweeted that Barnes, who has served as Kershaw's personal catcher, said he wasn't bothered by the intentional walk. The Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer wrote that Kershaw demonstrated Thursday "why he has spent much of his career being called the greatest pitcher on the planet." The Reds and Dodgers meet again in Los Angeles for three games July 28-30.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
