A day that mixed spectacle with unease saw headlines stretch from the baseball diamond to Barcelona, and far beyond sport. At the MLB All-Star Game, Cody Bellinger’s two-RBI performance earned him MVP honors and helped power the American League to victory, giving Yankees fans another midsummer milestone. But in Spain, celebration quickly gave way to concern after teenage star Lamine Yamal’s Barcelona home was targeted in an attempted burglary just hours after Spain booked its place in the World Cup final. Off the field, the global backdrop was more sober: China reported slower second-quarter growth, with weak consumer demand and a lingering property slump clouding the world’s second-largest economy despite strong exports. In India, Swiggy and HPCL unveiled a notable convenience play with on-demand LPG deliveries in Bengaluru. And in San Francisco Bay, a boat sinking near Alcatraz turned tragic, leaving one person dead and three still missing.
