Trout delivers early as Angels move slugger to leadoff spot

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington was hoping to get a spark by putting Mike Trout in the leadoff spot. The three-time AL MVP quickly obliged. Hitting leadoff for the first time since 2020, Trout drove a fastball from Baltimore’s Grayson Rodriguez off the auxiliary scoreboard above the wall in right-center field in the first inning to give the Angels an early 1-0 lead Tuesday night. It was the sixth leadoff homer of Trout’s career and first since Sept. 28, 2012. Trout’s ninth home run of the season tied for the major league lead.

Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey edges Coby White as NBA’s most improved

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was named the NBA’s most improved player Tuesday night, defeating out Chicago Bulls guard Coby White and Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Maxey, 23, had a breakthrough season with the Sixers, averaging career highs in points (25.9), rebounds (3.7), assists (6.2), steals (1.0) and 3-pointers made (212). He also became an All-Star for the first time as he transitioned into playing point guard full-time following James Harden being traded to the LA Clippers. “I have had to take different steps,” Maxey stated during an interview with TNT before the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their first-round series Tuesday night, when he was presented with the award. “In […]

Inter Milan clinch 20th Serie A title with win over AC Milan

Inter Milan defeated city rivals AC Milan 2-1 on Monday to clinch the Serie A title, the 20th time the club has lifted the trophy in its history. Goals either side of half-time by Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram set Inter on their way, but Fikayo Tomori pulled one back for AC Milan in the 80th minute and each side had a player sent off shortly before the end of the match as tempers flared. Inter were able to see out the result, though, and when the whistle blew to end the game they sat on an insurmountable 86 points, 17 clear of Milan with five matches to play in the […]

D’Angelo Russell falters late as Lakers drop Game 1

As much as the story of the Los Angeles Lakers’ season has been centered on the team looking to make up for its flameout in the Western Conference finals a year ago to pursuit a championship, there’s also been a personal redemption arc for point guard D’Angelo Russell. However Saturday’s 114-103 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets, where Russell missed 13 of his final 16 shot attempts and scored 13 points, brought to mind some of his past struggles. “D-Lo is a huge reason why we’re here in the first place,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “I’m not going to bail out on my […]

Casper Ruud into Barcelona quarters with tour-leading 26th win

Casper Ruud defeated Jordan Thompson in consecutive sets to earn his season-leading 26th win and secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open on Thursday. The third-seeded Norwegian won 6-1, 6-4 to move one victory ahead of Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner in 2024. Ruud, ranked No. 6, is trying to reach his fourth final this year, having lost in Los Cabos, Acapulco and Monte Carlo. He will next face 40th-ranked Italian Matteo Arnaldi, who defeated Marco Trungelliti 6-3, 6-0 at the clay-court tournament. Fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, the seventh-ranked Greek who defeated Ruud on Sunday to collect the Monte Carlo title, reached the last eight with a 7-5, […]

Struggling Pirates closer David Bednar booed at home

David Bednar’s first three seasons in Pittsburgh largely have been charmed ones as the hometown kid developed into a two-time All-Star closer for a team convinced it’s on the rise. And while the Pirates might be on their way to contention, Bednar is faltering. The right-hander blew his third save in four opportunities on Tuesday when Detroit rallied for a 5-3 victory. The most jarring moment wasn’t the walk or the two batters he hit that fueled the Tigers’ comeback, but the sound of Bednar being booed at home by a crowd that has emphatically embraced him from the moment he arrived from […]

Real Madrid want Santiago Bernabeu roof shut against Man City

Real Madrid have asked UEFA for approval to play Manchester City under a closed roof at the Santiago Bernabeu in an effort to boost the atmosphere for Tuesday’s Champions League quarterfinal first-leg tie versus the Premier League side, sources have told ESPN. City, who won their first Champions League title last season, are due to face Madrid for the third-successive season in the competition. Pep Guardiola’s team drew 1-1 at the Bernabeu in last season’s semifinal first-leg and lost 3-1 in Madrid in the semifinal second-leg 12 months earlier. But after losing 5-1 on aggregate in last season’s semifinal, Madrid are now attempting to take […]

‘Confident’ Lakers finally see rise in standings after win

The Lakers are playing their best basketball in months as the NBA schedule enters the final week of the regular season. And after Saturday’s 116-97 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, they finally have something to show for it. The victory, which was L.A.’s ninth in its past 10 games, moved the Lakers up to No. 8 in the Western Conference standings — the best position they’ve been since Dec. 29th when they were 17-15. Now 45-33 with four games left, L.A. does not sound like a team barely eking its way into the playoff picture. “We’re very confident in our ballclub,” Anthony Davis said after […]
