Corbin Carroll Makes History, but Rockies Beat Diamondbacks 6-4
Corbin Carroll reached a major career milestone with his 100th home run, but the Arizona Diamondbacks couldn't overcome an early five-run deficit in a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies Wednesday at Chase Field. Arizona collected 11 hits and repeatedly created scoring opportunities but stranded 15 runners as Colorado took the rubber match. The Diamondbacks now head on the road for six games against Atlanta and Boston.
Noémie Brochant Erupts as Phoenix Mercury Beat Sparks 94-87
Rookie Noémie Brochant delivered a breakout 24-point performance as the Phoenix Mercury erased a late deficit and closed the game on a 16-6 run to defeat the Los Angeles Sparks 94-87 on August 11, 2026. Alyssa Thomas added 16 points, seven rebounds and nine assists as Phoenix snapped a three-game losing streak despite committing 24 turnovers.
Carroll, Marte Homer but Diamondbacks Fall 3-2 to Rockies
Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte launched first-inning home runs to give Arizona an early lead, but the Diamondbacks couldn't add on as Colorado rallied for a 3-2 victory Tuesday night at Chase Field. Kyle Karros tied the game with a two-run homer in the sixth before Mickey Moniak's sacrifice fly gave Colorado the lead in the seventh. The loss evened the three-game series at one game apiece and sends the Diamondbacks into Wednesday afternoon's rubber match looking to bounce back.
Nolan Arenado’s Grand Slam Powers D-backs to 9-0 Win
Nolan Arenado launched a first-inning grand slam, Gabriel Moreno collected three hits and the Arizona Diamondbacks pitching staff shut out the Colorado Rockies 9-0 Monday night at Chase Field. Arizona improved to 64-56 with the victory and continued its push in the National League Wild Card race.
Diamondbacks Beat Dodgers 4-2 to Win Statement Series Over Los Angeles
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 on August 9, 2026, to win a pivotal three-game series at Chase Field and secure their first regular-season series victory over Los Angeles since 2018. Eduardo Rodriguez dominated with seven strong innings and nine strikeouts, Ketel Marte delivered the decisive two-run home run, and Kevin Ginkel closed the door with a perfect ninth inning. The victory strengthens Arizona's postseason hopes while proving they can compete with one of Major League Baseball's elite teams.
Ty Gibbs Captures Iowa Corn 350 Victory After Perfect Late-Race Strategy
Ty Gibbs earned his second NASCAR Cup Series victory of the 2026 season by using a bold two-tire strategy during the final green-flag pit cycle to defeat teammate Christopher Bell in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. Ryan Blaney dominated the opening stage and won Stage 1, while Bell captured Stage 2 before finishing second. The race was ultimately decided by pit strategy, as Gibbs successfully defended the lead over the closing laps to give Joe Gibbs Racing a dominant one-two finish and build momentum heading toward the Chase playoffs.
Phoenix Mercury Fall 95-75 to Washington Mystics as Losing Streak Continues
The Phoenix Mercury fell 95-75 to the Washington Mystics on August 9, 2026, after a competitive opening quarter gave way to a dominant Washington performance. Phoenix trailed only 21-20 after the first but was outscored 52-31 across the second and third quarters. Shakira Austin recorded 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Sonia Citron added 19 points on efficient shooting. The victory gave Washington a franchise-record seventh consecutive win and dropped Phoenix to 12-22.

It’s built for entrepreneurs who have ideas but want clarity, not guesswork.
Success Leaves Receipts: Why Every Entrepreneur Should Track Their Wins
Most entrepreneurs underestimate how much progress they're making because they spend more time focusing on what's left to accomplish than what they've already achieved. In this article, you'll learn why keeping a simple Wins Journal can transform your mindset, build lasting confidence, and reveal the momentum that's already driving your business forward. Discover how documenting customers, content, sales activity, new skills, systems, and lessons learned creates the evidence needed to make smarter decisions and stay motivated for the long haul. Remember: success leaves receipts—start saving yours today.
The 1% Improvement That Could Change Your Business Forever
Most entrepreneurs chase breakthroughs, but lasting business success comes from consistently improving the fundamentals. By making just a 1% improvement each day—whether it's refining your website, optimizing your emails, strengthening your offer, improving your content, or developing better habits—you create a compounding effect that leads to extraordinary long-term growth. Instead of waiting for the perfect strategy, focus on making one meaningful improvement today and repeat the process tomorrow.

The Sunday Reset That Sets Entrepreneurs Up for Success
Many beginner entrepreneurs believe they need thousands of followers before they can build a successful business, but the opposite is often true.

Learn practical strategies for finding your first customers and discover why sustainable businesses are built one relationship at a time.
Why Finishing What You Start Is a Superpower in Business
Most entrepreneurs don't struggle because they lack ideas—they struggle because they have too many unfinished ones. Learn how completing projects builds confidence, creates momentum, generates revenue, and helps your business grow faster with the Finish First Framework.
