Cedric Mullins entered the history books Friday. The Baltimore Orioles outfielder hit for his first career cycle and the 12th in Orioles franchise history in a 6-3 Orioles win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He capped it off with a no-doubt home run in the bottom of the eighth inning in front of a raucous Camden Yards crowd: That was Mullins showing his power. He showed his hustle with his triple in the fifth inning, speeding to third base after a line drive into the right-field gap. He notched his single in the third inning and his double in the seventh inning, just missing on a natural cycle. And yes, he got a standing ovation from the crowd as he took the field in the ninth. Mullins' cycle is the seventh since the Orioles moved to Baltimore and the franchise's first since teammate Austin Hays hit one last season. An All-Star in 2021 who saw a drop-off last season, Mullins entered Friday hitting .248/.351/.421 with 4 homers and 12 stolen bases on 12 attempts. The win improved the Orioles' record to 25-13, tied for the second-best record in MLB but still good for only second place in their division, behind the 30-10 Tampa Bay Rays.

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.
