Schwarber hits 25th homer and winning sacrifice fly in 12th as Phillies beat Padres 7-6

Kyle Schwarber hit his 25th home run and ended the match with a 12th-inning sacrifice fly, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Paredes and Díaz homer as Rays stop seven-game skid with 10-4 win over Braves

Isaac Paredes and Yandy Díaz homered as the Tampa Bay Rays snapped a season-high, seven-game skid with a 10-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday in a matchup of teams with the best records in baseball. Zach Eflin (10-4) gave up two runs and four hits over five innings in a 77-pitch outing as Tampa Bay avoided the three-game series sweep. The 29-year-old righty is 9-1 in 10 starts at home. “It’s a day we kind of needed a win,” Eflin said. “Get right back on track. Take that momentum into the break.” Travis d’Arnaud homered for the MLB-best Braves, who are 20-3 since June 14 […]

Red Sox win 4-1, 6-2 to sweep Yankees in doubleheader and series

It’s too bad baseball went away from the unbalanced schedules, because the Boston Red Sox could really use a bunch more games versus the New York Yankees. The Red Sox defeated their AL East archrivals 4-1 on Sunday night, completing a doubleheader and series sweep that brought them just two games behind their longtime nemeses in the division. Boston won the series opener 15-5, and then took Sunday’s day game 6-2 in a makeup of Saturday’s rainout. “We like playing them. They like playing against us,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “It’s fun playing against them. Regardless of where we are in […]

McClanahan wins 10th with ‘another really strong performance’

Shane McClanahan is making a serious case to be the American League starter again in next month’s All-Star Game. McClanahan became the first 10-game winner in the major leagues and the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Texas Rangers 7-3 on Sunday, taking two of three games in a matchup of the teams with the best records in baseball. McClanahan (10-1) allowed three runs, all in the third inning, and four hits over seven innings. The 26-year-old left-hander retired his final 15 batters. He won a career-best 12 games in 28 starts last season. “It’s one of those things where, it’s the farthest thing from my […]

Matt Winn will be extended to 1 1/8 miles next Sunday at Ellis

Faced with a dilemma on next Sunday’s running of the Grade 3, $400,000 Matt Winn Stakes, Ben Huffman did not hesitate Saturday about whether the race would be shortened or lengthened to fit Ellis Park. “It’s going to be a mile-and-an-eighth,” said Huffman, the vice president of racing for Churchill Downs Inc. “If you look at the PPs, those are two-turn horses.” Fed regulators push Churchill Downs to move races to Ellis The Matt Winn, a race for 3-year-olds, has been run the last 12 years at 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs, where racing will be suspended after this weekend.

Yankees’ Aaron Judge out after banging toe during wild catch

Aaron Judge was out of the New York Yankees’ starting lineup on Sunday, one day after penetrating the right-field gate at Dodger Stadium to turn in a phenomenal over-the-shoulder catch late in Saturday’s triumph. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Judge’s right foot, mostly in the area of his big toe, was too sore to play. Judge “seemed a little bit better this afternoon,” Boone added, but keeping him out of the lineup for the series finale versus the Los Angeles Dodgers allows them to take advantage of Monday’s off day and give Judge back-to-back days off his feet. Asked if he thinks Judge might […]

Andy Murray bounced back to defeat world No. 17 Tommy Paul 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger Tour final, earning his first title at any level since 2019. The three-time major winner converted four of nine breakpoints to claim his first clay title since 2016, a boost for the 35-year-old who stated he hoped to play the French Open later this month despite suffering early exits from Madrid and Monaco. It was Murray’s third triumph over a top-20 player this year and the twice Olympic gold medalist is expected to climb from 52nd to 42nd in the rankings after Sunday’s […]

Padres rally for 2-game Mexican sweep, beat Giants 6-4

After a game that felt like a home run derby, Matt Carpenter expected Sunday could be more of the same. It was not. Carpenter capped an eighth-inning rally with a tiebreaking, two-run double off the glove of diving centerfielder Mike Yastrzemski, and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 for a two-game sweep of Major League Baseball’s first regular-season series in Mexico City. A day after winning an 11-home run thriller 16-11, the Padres overcame a 4-0 deficit with three runs in the fifth and three in the eighth. “After last night´s game you go to bed thinking that this one was going […]

Taylor Ward, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani hit 3 straight HRs in win

Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani hit consecutive homers in the sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels hung on for a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Trout also had two doubles for the Angels, who managed only one hit in the first five innings versus Jordan Lyles (0-4) before the heart of their order unloaded on the Kansas City starter during a nine-pitch span. Ward’s drive into the short left-field porch was followed by Trout’s fifth homer of the year and Ohtani’s 415-foot blast to center for his own fifth homer. Los Angeles hadn’t hit back-to-back-to-back homers since June 8, 2019. “It was good to […]

Ons Jabeur def. Belinda Bencic in straight sets to win Charleston Open

Ons Jabeur used quick thinking, a bit of creativity and some luck to turn the tide on the way to her Charleston Open championship Sunday. Jabeur, ranked fifth in the world, saw opponent Belinda Bencic’s shot from the net coming straight at her. So Jabeur jumped with legs apart, put the racket behind her between the opening and sent the ball back at Bencic. Bencic put her next shot to Jabeur’s left and she responded with a winning backhand at the right sideline to tie the opening set at 5-all on the way to a 7-6 (6), 6-4 triumph. “I reacted very […]
