Aloha West, Jackie’s Warrior Rematch Set for Churchill

Last year Aloha West won the battle, taking the Qatar Racing Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) over favored Jackie’s Warrior in early November at Del Mar, but the latter won the war when he was named champion male sprinter for 2021. Those top sprinters will meet for the second time when they start in the $750,000 Churchill Downs Stakes Presented by Ford (G1) May 7, a much-anticipated tilt on the Kentucky Derby (G1) day undercard. Last year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint marked the first grade 1 start for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners’ Aloha West. The Maryland-bred son of Hard Spun proved up to the challenge as he rallied […]

New York Mets’ Tylor Megill, 4 relievers combine for no-hitter vs. Philadelphia Phillies

New York Mets starter Tylor Megill and four relievers combined on the first no-hitter of the Major League Baseball season, teaming up to throw a whopping 159 pitches and defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 Friday night. Megill was pulled after five innings and 88 pitches. The bullpen took over from there, with Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo and Edwin Diaz completing the second no-hitter in Mets history. With the crowd of 32,416 standing and chanting “Let’s go, Mets,” Diaz finished it off in style, striking out Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto in the ninth — all of them swinging. “Team game,” Megill said. “I’m ecstatic. It’s crazy,” he said. “First one I’ve been […]

Brandon Ingram says he’ll be OK after jamming fingers in New Orleans Pelicans’ Game 5 loss to Phoenix Suns

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram came to Tuesday night’s postgame news conference with his right ring and pinkie fingers taped up in black athletic tape, but he insisted he’ll be good to go for Game 6 on Thursday. “It’s fine,” Ingram stated following the Pelicans’ 112-97 loss to the Phoenix Suns. “It got a little banged up during the game, but I’ll be all right.” With 4:07 left, Ingram drove baseline and was met at the rim by Suns center Deandre Ayton. Ingram crashed to the floor and landed on his backside but also jammed his two fingers in the process. On the ensuing […]

Atlanta Braves OF Eddie Rosario expected out 8-12 weeks to correct vision issues

The Atlanta Braves placed slumping outfielder Eddie Rosario on the 10-day injured list with blurred vision and swelling in his right eye and anticipate him to miss eight to 12 weeks. The Braves made the move before Tuesday’s game versus the Chicago Cubs. Right-hander William Woods was recalled to take Rosario’s spot, giving the Braves 16 pitchers on their 28-man roster. A star of the 2021 postseason, when he was the MVP of the National League Championship Series and helped the Braves win their first World Series title in 26 years, Rosario was off to a miserable start with just three hits in his first 44 […]

The Reds ended an 11-game losing streak, their longest in six years, jumping to a first-inning lead and defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Sunday as former first-round draft pick Nick Lodolo got his first major league victory. Colin Moran drove in two runs for the Reds, who had been 0-4 at home this year and had not won anywhere since April 10 at World Series champion Atlanta. Cincinnati had been outscored 68-20 during the skid. “There was a lot of celebration going on today,” Reds manager David Bell said. “It was obviously a big win. You could kind of see it weighing on guys, really […]

Padres win 3-2 in 10 to end 10-game losing streak to Dodgers

Austin Nola hit a sacrifice fly with one out in the 10th inning for the San Diego Padres, who won 3-2 on Saturday night to snap a 10-game losing streak to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Nola’s sac fly scored rookie CJ Abrams, who started as the automatic runner at second base and advanced on Trent Grisham’s sacrifice bunt. Justin Bruihl (0-1) took the loss. The Padres had been outscored 57-23 during the losing streak to the Dodgers, which dated to Aug. 24. Losing three consecutive series to Los Angeles late last season helped contribute to the Padres’ stunning collapse, which left them with a losing […]

Texas Rangers’ Jon Gray headed to injured list with knee sprain

The Texas Rangers will be without starting pitcher Jon Gray for at least one start after he suffered a left knee sprain, general manager Chris Young stated Thursday. Gray will go on the injured list Friday and right-hander Glenn Otto is expected to be brought up from Triple-A Round Rock to start Friday night versus Oakland in the opener of a three-game series. Spencer Howard was slated to start Friday but is being moved to Gray’s spot on Sunday. Gray was injured during his start on Tuesday night versus Seattle. Gray came off the injured list to make the start against the Mariners after missing time […]

Royals bullpen backs up Daniel Lynch in 2-0 win over Twins

Daniel Lynch was pitching so well into the sixth inning Wednesday night that Royals manager Mike Matheny would’ve left him in the game versus Minnesota had the Kansas City offense provided a little more support. Two runs turned out to be plenty for Matheny’s bullpen, though. Four relievers followed Lynch, each delivering a shutout frame, and the Royals held on for a 2-0 triumph over the Twins on a dreary night at Kauffman Stadium that saw fewer than 9,000 fans walk through the gates. “Just that great mix of pitching, bullpen and defense is everything you could want,” Matheny said. Lynch […]

Kiké Hernández and Trevor Story had back-to-back doubles in the third for Boston. Zack Collins homered for the Blue Jays off starter Nathan Eovaldi.

Batting ninth and facing right-hander Yimi Garcia (0-1), Wong lofted a fly ball to right field that scored Bobby Dalbec, who opened the inning by reaching on an error by shortstop Bo Bichette. […]
