Trevor Bauer, the former Cy Young Award winner and MLB All-Star, tossed a no-hitter for the independent Long Island Ducks in a 13-0 win over the Lancaster Stormers on Sunday afternoon at Penn Medicine Park in Pennsylvania.

It was just Bauer’s second start in the United States since 2021, and he faced just one batter over the minimum in a scheduled seven-inning game of a doubleheader against the Stormers.

Bauer threw 84 pitches, striking out seven hitters and walking just one to lose out on the perfect game.

But Bauer unleashed a roar on the mound after a called strike three to notch the third no-hitter in Ducks history.

Combined with his first outing for the Ducks on April 21, Bauer has a strong 1.64 ERA to start the season in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB), which is a “Professional Partner League” of MLB.

Fans might have been supporting the opposing Stormers, but they understood what was at stake as Bauer was mowing down hitters throughout his start. They were even heard chanting his name at one point, hoping he could keep his hitless streak alive.

After the game, Bauer returned the favor for those at the Pennsylvania ballpark, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans after entering his name into the Ducks’ record books.

“I’m looking forward to competing in front of U.S. fans again this season,” said Bauer when he signed with the Ducks earlier this month. “The Ducks have had some incredible players come through their organization, and I’m excited to be part of that tradition.”

Ex-MLB stars like Dontrelle Willis, Daniel Murphy, Rich Hill and Eric Gagne have played for the Ducks in the past. New York Mets legends Gary Carter and Bud Harrelson both managed the team, with the latter also being a part-owner.

Bauer’s first start for the Ducks impressed an AL team scout in attendance, saying he was pretty impressed by Bauer’s arsenal on the bump.

“He showed flashes of the guy he used to be and a guy who can help a club,” the scout told the New York Post. “He went out and handled himself well. He showed flashes of the breaking ball he had in the past. Certainly the velocity is not what it once was, but it’s still solid, mostly 92-94. He didn’t throw the ball particularly well on the inside part of the plate with his fastball, but I think it was a really good first outing. You’d expected him to get sharper and probably tick up in velocity.

“You’re talking about a guy who was at the top of the game. Is he back there? No, but he looked like a guy who could go out and compete.”

Bauer pitched in Japan in both 2023 and 2025, while a stint in Mexico came in 2024. He pitched to a 2.59 ERA and 9.2 K/9 in Japan in 2023, and in Mexico, those numbers improved to 2.48 and 13.0. Last year in Japan, though, his ERA shot up to 4.41, and he struck out just 8.2 batters per nine innings.

This June will mark five years since Bauer, as the reigning Cy Young Award winner, last appeared in an MLB game. On June 28 of that year, he tossed six innings of two-run ball while striking out eight batters, recording the win.

Two days later, Bauer was hit with sexual assault allegations, which eventually led to a 324-game suspension (the equivalent of two seasons). It was eventually reduced to 184 games for violating the league’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.

Bauer has maintained his innocence, settling with one accuser while another is facing 16 years in prison after being charged with fraud for faking a pregnancy and asking Bauer for money for an abortion.

Bauer and Lindsey Hill, who accused the pitcher of beating and sexually abusing her in 2021, settled their case in late 2023. Bauer revealed texts from Hill, who said that Bauer would be her “next victim,” among other damning messages. Hill has since said that MLB has more evidence of Bauer’s alleged misconduct.

Last June, Hill was ordered to pay Bauer more than $300,000 for violating settlement terms. Hill breached their settlement agreement with each other by discussing Bauer on podcasts and in public appearances, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Nearly two years ago, Bauer said he “may have no other choice” but to sue Major League Baseball “if I continue being kept out” of the league. Bauer has said he’d “play for the league minimum,” but he has yet to sign with an MLB team.

“Anyone that’s willing to sit down with me and listen: I’d like to play the second half of my career in a better way than I played the first half,” Bauer told Fox News Digital in January 2024. “I’d like to be an example that you can make mistakes, recognize them, adjust and then be better in the future. I think that’s something us as humans have to do and should be doing constantly.”

Bauer has since called out MLB after Pete Rose and other deceased former players were taken off the league’s permanently ineligible list.

“So, since Pete is welcome back now, does that go for everyone who has been blackballed?” Bauer asked on X. “Or do you actually have to be guilty of something to qualify for that?”

Bauer was performing well for the Dodgers at the time of the allegations, pitching to a 2.59 ERA.

Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, revealed a “scary” medical moment that occurred while she was attending the Masters Tournament earlier this month in a new vlog.

The future University of Miami golfer traveled to Augusta National Golf Club to take in the first major of the year, but the trip to Georgia hit a speed bump after she had an allergic reaction to a hand soap she used on her face.

“I was using hand soap on my face, when I was at Augusta, to wash off my makeup and I started getting these bumps on my neck,” she said in the vlog.

The 18-year-old had to get medical attention, ultimately receiving a steroid shot to counteract the allergic reaction.

“Now, I don’t have a rash anymore, but I had an allergic reaction to the hand soap on my face,” she said.

“I have very sensitive skin. It was so, so scary.”

Once the rash was put to rest, Kai appeared to enjoy her weekend at Augusta. She posed for a photo she shared on Instagram with Bryson DeChambeau, a supporter of her grandfather and fellow YouTuber, and his caddie, Greg Bodine.

It wasn’t the best week for DeChambeau, though, as he missed the cut at Augusta National after shooting 6-over in his first two days of the tournament.

In the end, Rory McIlroy, who finally completed the career Grand Slam last year at the Masters, retained the green jacket with a second-straight win. He finished one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler, who finished 11-under for the week after going 4-under in his final round on Sunday.

Russell Henley, Cam Young, Tyrell Hatton and Justin Rose, who lost to McIlroy in a playoff at last year’s Masters, all finished tied for third place at 10-under.

Kai is currently scheduled to enroll at the University of Miami later this fall, where she intends to play for the women’s golf team. She is a high school senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.. She discussed her upcoming senior prom in her latest vlog.

KARACHI: The 46th edition of the London Marathon turned into a statement event for Pakistani runners, as more than 30 participants from Pakistan and the global diaspora combined endurance with tactical maturity to produce a series of impressive performances.

From front-running pace control to disciplined race execution, the performances reflected not just participation, but a growing understanding of elite marathon racing.

At the heart of Pakistan’s success story was UK-based Abdullah Muhammad Athar, whose 2:39:53 finish made him the fastest Pakistani in the race, but it was the manner of his run that stood out.

Athar executed a near-perfect race strategy, maintaining remarkable consistency through the early and middle phases. He covered the first 10km in 37:07, holding a steady 3:43/km pace, and reached halfway in 1:18:23, firmly on course for a sub-2:40 finish.

Even as fatigue set in during the latter stages, a common challenge in marathon running, Athar managed the slowdown smartly. His pace gradually shifted from 3:41-3:49/km between 20K-30K to around 4:00/km in the final stretch, ensuring a strong finish without a dramatic drop-off.

Reflecting on his journey, Athar emphasised the deeper value of the sport. “Most people in Pakistan think running takes too much time and commitment, but for me it does the opposite, it focuses the mind and gives structure to a busy life,” he said.

“About a year ago, my 10k PB was around 37 minutes. Today, I ran that pace back to back four times, finishing the London Marathon in 2:39 as the fastest Pakistani.”

With this, Athar has now set his sights on completing all seven World Marathon Majors, targeting sub-three-hour finishes across each.

Karachi’s Amin Mukaty followed with a well-managed run of 2:45:02, showcasing excellent pacing discipline on a course he described as physically demanding.

Mukaty opened slightly conservatively, covering 5km in 19:08, and reached halfway in 1:21:43, keeping himself within striking distance of his target time. His splits remained consistent in the 3:50–3:59/km range, reflecting a controlled approach.

Crucially, he avoided the late-race crash that often derails marathon efforts, maintaining composure through 30K to 40K, where many runners fade.

“I started very controlled and ended strong. I didn’t crash and that was the best part,” Mukaty said. “The crowd, the energy was wild… it was an amazing experience.”

Despite narrowly missing a personal best, his race execution stood out as one of the most disciplined among the Pakistani contingent.

In the women’s category, Dubai-based Sara Tahoor Lodhi emerged as the fastest Pakistani female, finishing in 3:25:02, a performance defined by a strong opening and resilience in the latter stages.

Tahoor ran a consistent first half, reaching 10K in 46:20 and halfway in 1:38:07, maintaining a steady 4:38/km pace. However, like many runners, she encountered the physical demands of the course beyond 25K.

Her pace dipped into the 5:00–5:20/km range between 30K and 40K, before she regrouped to close the race, demonstrating mental strength to complete the marathon strongly.

“Honoured to have represented Pakistan for the second time… I look forward to continuing to represent Pakistani women with dedication and pride,” said Sarah, who earlier won the Karachi Marathon.

Beyond the leading trio, the results reflected impressive depth across categories.

Karachi’s Rehan Adamjee (3:11:01) was in third place among Pakistani runners, while Adnan Gandhi (3:32:32) improved on his previous London Marathon performance despite tough conditions.

“On a hot and somewhat challenging course, I just knew that my second half would be tough, so I tried my best to run the first 25km in enough time to beat my 3hr 34min time from 2022., Alhamdulillah that happened, and I was able to run a 3hr 32min time at the age of 49, 4 years later and 2 mins faster,” he said.

“So proud to be in the same race as 2 world records were set under the elusive 2-hour marathon mark,” he added.

Further down the field, UK-based Sahil Kumar (3:57:44) broke the four-hour barrier, while Denmark-based Zeeshan Rab (4:01:43) completed his 55th career marathon, highlighting remarkable endurance longevity.

Sameen Nassar (4:04:35), Muhammad Hasan (4:07:25), and Adil Ali (4:07:51) formed a strong cluster around the four-hour mark, with several others close behind, including Hira Diwan Gandhi (4:12:53) and Imran Ghayur Ahmed (4:13:55).

Female participation also stood out, with multiple finishers across time bands, reflecting increasing inclusion and representation in endurance sports.

One of the defining features of this year’s participation was the global spread of Pakistani runners, from Karachi and Lahore to the UK, USA, the Middle East, and Europe.

Despite different backgrounds and training environments, the runners were united by a shared identity and a growing passion for distance running: a sport that is steadily gaining traction among Pakistanis worldwide.

As Athar’s words echoed across the event: “You get out what you put in.”

At the London Marathon, Pakistani runners did just that and the results spoke for themselves.
