Soler homers in 5th straight game, Marlins beat Angels 8-5 in 10 innings

Although the Miami Marlins survived Shohei Ohtani’s latest start and traded the lead with Los Angeles down the stretch, they were pretty much out of relief pitchers when they headed into the 10th inning. Thanks to two big hits and two bad defensive plays by the Angels, the Marlins had just enough pitching to keep up their recent road surge. Jorge Soler homered in his fifth successive game, and pinch-hitter Garrett Cooper had a tiebreaking double during the Marlins’ four-run 10th Saturday night in their 8-5 triumph over Ohtani and the Angels. Cooper hit a long fly to left-center off Jaime Barria (1-2), and Mickey Moniak couldn’t make the tough […]

Frazier, Henderson power 8-run 7th, Orioles win 9-6, stop Yanks’ 5-game win streak

Adam Frazier hit a three-run homer and pinch-hitter Gunnar Henderson had a go-ahead, two-run double in an eight-run seventh inning that rallied the Baltimore Orioles over the Yankees 9-6 on Wednesday night, stopping New York’s season-high winning streak at five matches. Gleyber Torres homered twice and drove in three runs, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa tripled and homered as the Yankees built a 5-1 lead against Tyler Wells. New York’s bullpen entered with a major league-best 2.80 ERA, but Baltimore sent 12 batters to the plate in the seventh versus Cortes and the bullpen, the Orioles’ highest-scoring inning this season. Cortes had permitted only Ryan Mountcastle’s fourth-inning homer before walking Anthony Santander leading […]

Nikola Jokic’s dominant triple-double leads Nuggets over Lakers

Nikola Jokic claimed he did not have a strategy in mind to combat Anthony Davis. But it did not take long in Tuesday night’s Game 1 for the Los Angeles Lakers to see Jokic’s blueprint. The Denver Nuggets’ superstar came out extremely aggressive, reintroducing himself to LeBron James and Davis on the Western Conference finals stage, but this time as a two-time MVP at the top of his game. Jokic compiled his third consecutive triple-double this postseason by the third quarter, and concluded with 34 points, 21 rebounds, 14 assists and two blocks to help the Nuggets take a 132-126 win at Ball Arena. “He makes it […]

Knicks push Heat to Game 6 behind Jalen Brunson’s 38-point gem

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau beamed with pride as he described Jalen Brunson’s 38-point, nine-rebound, seven-assist performance in a must-win 112-103 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday night. As eye-popping as the numbers were for the guard who has quickly become one of Thibodeau’s favorite players in his first season with the Knicks, the stat that really made Thibodeau gush was the 48 in the minutes column. Not only did Brunson lead his team offensively, he played every second of the game to make sure the Knicks forced a Game 6 Friday night in Miami. “What can you say […]

Yankees’ Luis Severino eager to start minor league rehab

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino said it was “unnecessary” that the team decided to have him pitch in a controlled minor league intrasquad game on Friday and not in a game with Class A Tampa. Severino has been on the 15-day injured list since the begining of the regular season with a right lat strain. He had been originally scheduled to start Wednesday in a Florida State League game. It was first moved to Thursday before being canceled. “I think it was unnecessary not throw in low-A, but I do whatever they tell me to do,” Severino stated on Sunday before the […]

Kings beat Warriors 114-106 to take 2-0 series lead

As the referees went to the replay monitor to determine whether Draymond Green should be ejected for his hard stomp, the Sacramento Kings took that time to regroup and make sure they didn’t lose focus down the stretch. De’Aaron Fox and crew took over from there and delivered the Kings a 2-0 series lead that has the defending NBA champions reeling. Fox scored 24 points and made a backbreaking 3-pointer that led the playoff newcomer Kings to a 114-106 victory Monday night for their second consecutive victory over the Golden State Warriors. “I think that brought us together,” Fox said. “We huddled up and were like, […]

Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys cruise into 2nd round at Charleston

Top-seeded Jessica Pegula and past champion Madison Keys easily won second-round games at the Charleston Open on Wednesday. Pegula, the American ranked third in the world, needed less than 65 minutes to defeat Anna Blinkova of Russia 6-2, 6-0. Keys, an American who took this title in 2019, worked a few minutes more (69) to oust countrywoman Hailey Baptiste 6-1, 6-2 in the season’s opening clay-court tournament. Pegula stated the tournament at the Credit One Tennis Center feels familiar to her because she used to train at the facility when she grew up on Hilton Head Island, about two hours south of Charleston. “It was a fun […]

Sorana Cirstea advanced to her first semifinal of a WTA 1000 event in a decade, defeating Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-4 at the Miami Open on Wednesday. Cirstea, 32, beat the highest-ranked opponent of her career by knocking off the second-ranked Sabalenka. Cirstea previously defeated No. 4 Caroline Garcia this month at Indian Wells and topped Garcia again in the second round at Miami. “I think I’m a bit speechless,” Cirstea said. “I came out knowing that it’s going to be a really tough match. Aryna hits so hard, so I knew I had to hold my ground, and I’m very, very happy […]

LeBron James to monitor right foot after injury against Mavs

LeBron James sustained a right foot injury late in the third quarter in Sunday’s 111-108 win versus the Dallas Mavericks but was able to finish out the game and help the Los Angeles Lakers pull off the biggest comeback victory in the NBA this season. “It’s been better,” James stated when asked about his foot afterward. “That’s for sure. But I definitely wasn’t going to go to the locker room and not finish the game out tonight. Just understood the importance of the game, and then with the momentum that we had, I felt like we could still win after being down. “We’ll monitor it the next […]
