FC Dallas ended its winless streak and one new scorer made it sweeter


Petar Musa scored his 10th goal of the season, Samuel Sarver scored his first career goal in MLS, and FC Dallas beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday night to snap a four-game winless streak.

Dallas (4-3-4) had lost back-to-back games.

Musa gave Dallas a 1-0 lead in the 54th minute. Ran Binyamin, on the counter-attack, played an entry pass from near the top of the penalty arc to a charging Musa for a sliding first-touch finish from the right corner of the 6-yard box. The 28-year-old Musa went into the game tied with Nashville’s Sam Surridge for most goals in MLS this season.

The Red Bulls (3-5-3) are winless in five straight.

Sarver, the 2025 MLS Next Pro MVP, headed a cross from Logan Farrington into a wide-open net to make it 2-0 in the 88th minute.

Ethan Horvath had four saves for New York.

The Red Bulls had 61% possession, but were outshot 12-7, 6-0 on target.

Winners and losers from F1’s eventful Miami Grand Prix

Winners and losers from F1’s eventful Miami Grand Prix


F1’s decision to bring the Miami start time forward by three hours ultimately made no difference, as the expected thunderstorms hit the track in the early hours of Sunday morning but then swerved Miami Garden in the afternoon.

As it was, Miami didn’t need the weather gods to serve up an absorbing display. And while it is too early to judge the recent round of energy management tweaks, on the surface Miami provided an entertaining mix of management tactics and driver-centred wheel-to-wheel skills.

Winner: Kimi Antonelli

With every passing week, young Kimi Antonelli is convincing more and more sceptics about whether he is really ready to take the title fight all the way in what is only his sophomore F1 season as a teenager.

There is no doubt that Antonelli is still a raw diamond rather than a polished product. But he has paired his obvious talent and speed with more maturity this year and has not flinched when the pressure is on, as evidenced by the various wheel-to-wheel battles for the lead in Miami.

Antonelli has spent the April break working on some of those chinks in his armour, like his start difficulties, though a lot of the burden is on Mercedes to simplify its procedures too, with Toto Wolff calling the team’s struggles across both cars “unacceptable” as the competition closes in on Mercedes.

But having won his last three grands prix from pole, it’s hard to argue with Antonelli being every bit the title contender that team-mate George Russell is.

It’s too early to be talking about Red Bull’s second seat curse, not after Hadjar’s impressive start to his Red Bull tenure in Melbourne, but on a weekend Max Verstappen was firing on all cylinders Hadjar has found it much harder to keep up with the mercurial Dutchman.

Hadjar was of course desperately unlucky for his car’s floor to just be outside legal parameters in qualifying, relegating him to the back of the grid. But he was a second off Verstappen in sprint qualifying and eight tenths on Saturday, looking much more like a 2019-2025 spec second Red Bull driver that the team is hoping to have solved. His clumsy crash in the early stages of the race was entirely avoidable, too.

Has the improved Red Bull simply allowed Verstappen to push much harder and bring out the best in him, leaving Hadjar in the dust? Or does Hadjar need more time to get on top of the heavily revised RB22? Red Bull will be hoping it is the latter, with team boss Laurent Mekies playing down any concerns.

“I don’t think we are worried,” he said. “In terms of driving and in terms of rhythm, he still hasn’t got into the right rhythm. I think he would have been strong in the race, and it was strong for the little he could have shown.”

A 1-2 in the sprint and a 2-3 in the grand prix? McLaren would have bitten your hand off for a double podium berth after unsuccessfully chasing Mercedes over the first three rounds of the 2026 campaign.

But a first tranche of upgrades to the MCL40, at its historically happy hunting ground around the Hard Rock Stadium, has dramatically changed the outlook of the 2026 season. Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were legitimate contenders this weekend, even if they were helped by Mercedes getting its deployment strategy wrong over the sprint event, rowing it back to a more normal set-up for qualifying and the race.

The end result is that on pure speed McLaren reckons Mercedes still has the slight edge, and the Silver Arrows are introducing their first batch of upgrades in Canada. But McLaren isn’t done upgrading either, with sources suggesting its own Montreal package amounts to around 40 percent of its total car overhaul across both rounds. Watch this space.

There was little enjoyment to be derived from Sunday’s race for Lewis Hamilton, as he was in the wrong place at the wrong time when Verstappen spun ahead of him at the start and then suffered aero damage after a glancing blow from Franco Colapinto.

Hamilton estimated the time loss at half a second and it dropped him into no man’s land for the remainder of the afternoon while his team-mate Charles Leclerc was having all the fun ahead of him, mixing it up with Russell and Piastri.

Leclerc also suffered a disappointing end to his afternoon courtesy of his last-lap spin, which cost him a certain podium, and he did exceedingly well not to suffer a huge accident that would have cost him a lot more than that. But with a car that refused to turn right any longer, Leclerc decided to redraw some of Miami’s chicanes, which cost him a deserved 20-second penalty.

Winner: Franco Colapinto

Colapinto has come in for quite a bit of flak since replacing Jack Doohan at Alpine exactly 12 months ago, not in the least from his own boss Flavio Briatore. But armed with Alpine’s latest aero upgrades and a slightly lighter chassis, Colapinto appears to cut a more confident figure aboard the A526 and that has translated into getting the better of experienced team-mate Pierre Gasly over Miami’s two qualifying sessions, something which hasn’t happened too often.

Colapinto delayed his only pitstop until past the halfway point, propelling up as high as fourth at one point, and Leclerc’s post-race penalty eventually netted him a best-ever points finish in seventh.

Fresh from his Buenos Aires demo run that was attended by an estimated 600,000 Argentinians, it has been a pretty good fortnight for Lionel Messi’s favourite F1 driver. Messi’s children were all sporting Mercedes gear, so perhaps they are harder to convince.

Audi has made a commendable start as a works team from a performance point of view, even if the German manufacturer’s first F1 power unit needs a bit more juice. But its endless list of reliability issues is seriously hurting any chance of keeping up in the midfield, with Nico Hulkenberg completing a grand total of seven laps across both Miami races and Gabriel Bortoleto’s weekend derailed in qualifying.

Audi has always said it is playing the long game, so we won’t judge it too harshly after four race weekends, but the team needs to be able to nail down cleaner weekends if it wants to make progress on the performance side of things and build up some semblance of momentum.

“It was a proper character building weekend,” Hulkenberg said afterwards. “We’ve had some promising signs and the pace in the car is not bad, but obviously we need to be able to finish sessions and get the cars out there. Yeah, just a lot of headwind this weekend, kind of need to regroup, reset now, take it on the chin.

Williams had been one of the more disappointing stories of the 2026 season thus far, but rebounded with a first pass of upgrades by taking a double points finish with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon. Finishing a pitstop behind Colapinto’s Alpine is not a result that merits a victory parade around Grove’s high street, but it’s a first step as the team fights to both add aero performance and sheds weight off its cars, something which will take time and which can’t be done at once in a cost cap world.

Sainz summed it up best afterwards: “It’s not where we want to be, even if it feels for everyone a bit of a relief. Getting two cars in the points on merit is definitely a good step, but we need to keep pushing because it’s still not where we expected to be at the end of last year.”

Mariners claim LHP José Suarez off waivers from Atlanta

Mariners claim LHP José Suarez off waivers from Atlanta


The Mariners, suddenly drawing from their depth a month into the season, made a waiver claim today, picking up lefty José Suarez from Atlanta.

Mariners fans likely remember Suarez from his lengthy Angels tenure, from the time he signed with the Angels as a free agent out of Venezuela to 2024. Prior to the 2025 season, the Angels traded him to Atlanta in exchange for injury-prone pitcher Ian Anderson (later DFA’d by the Angels and re-claimed by Atlanta). Atlanta transitioned the short king (listed 5’10”) to the bullpen and edited his pitch mix, dropping his sweeper and tweaking his slider to be shorter and more of a traditional gyro slider, resulting in more whiffs on the pitch.

Command remains an issue for Suarez, something that’s persisted since his days as an Angel. As a top-100 prospect almost a decade ago, Suarez seemed slated to anchor the heart of Anaheim’s rotation. Instead, the classic control artist trap befell him. Lacking the velo (low-90s heat) or fastball traits to miss bats easily, and having more middling results on his changeup and breaking ball which can cut through Triple-A hitters, Suarez has had to nibble the edges and has seen his walk rate swell as a big leaguer in efforts to avoid barrels. Those issues, along with health troubles, saw him faded from the Angels’ plans.

Although he had a solid first season as a Brave, this year has been a struggle, leading to much sturm und drang amongst the Braves fanbase, who are all too happy to see Suarez go. As for how he fits in the Mariners bullpen, that’s a bit of a puzzle; the Mariners have a third lefty (with his own command issues, even) in Josh Simpson, although Simpson has options, where Suarez does not.

However, the Mariners are well-familiar with Suarez, having seen him for so many years in the AL West, so there must be something there the pitching brain trust hopes to unlock. The other bonus Suarez brings is length; as a former starter, he can cover multiple innings if necessary, which it’s been more often than not lately as three-fifths of the Mariners rotation continue to turn in shorter outings. By his dint of a changeup-first offspeed repertoire, Suarez is somewhat more evenly split in his performance against hitters by handedness, instead of a traditional lefty specialist.

In a corresponding move, OF Rhylan Thomas was designated for assignment.
