Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong gets 1st MLB hit with tiebreaking home run

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a tiebreaking two-run homer for his first major league hit, and the Chicago Cubs swept the Houston Astros with a 3-1 victory on Thursday. Houston has lost a season-high five consecutive and eight of nine overall. At 7-19, it is off to its worst 26-game start since it was 6-20 in 1969. First-year manager Joe Espada was ejected by plate umpire Jansen Visconti in the top of the ninth. “I just did not agree with his strike zone all day,” Espada said after his first ejection as a big league manager. Crow-Armstrong was recalled from Triple-A Iowa when Cody Bellinger was placed on the 10-day […]

Joel Embiid scores 50 to get 76ers first win of series vs. Knicks

Joel Embiid scored 50 points, making all four 3-point attempts and scoring 18 in a potential series-shifting third quarter, to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 125-114 victory over the New York Knicks on Thursday night in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Embiid boldly stated “we’re going to win this series” after the 76ers dropped Game 2. With one of the finest postseason efforts of his career, Embiid became the third player to ever score 50 points versus the Knicks in the postseason and kept the hope of a Philadelphia series comeback very much alive. The Knicks lead the series 2-1. Game […]

Rafael Nadal cruises to straight-sets win over American teen

Rafael Nadal couldn’t learn much from his comfortable consecutive-sets victory over American teenager Darwin Blanch in the first round of the Madrid Open. Nadal cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over mistake-prone 16-year-old Blanch on Thursday. “I didn’t test much my body today,” 37-year-old Nadal said. “I played a decent match doing the things that I had to do to be through, but at the same time I played against a player … making more mistakes.” Blanch, playing in only his second ATP tour match, made 27 unforced errors. Nadal never faced a break point and was in control from the start versus […]

Scottie Scheffler extends dominant run with RBC Heritage win

A Masters green jacket wasn’t enough for Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler was running on emotional fumes fresh off his four-shot triumph at Augusta National, but full of purpose that more than made up for his lack of preparation for the RBC Heritage. The result not only was similar, it has come to be expected. He rarely missed a shot. He gave little hope to those chasing him. And he walked away from Harbour Town on Monday morning with another victory that extended a dominance not seen since the peak years of Tiger Woods. “I didn’t show up here just to have some sort […]

Real Madrid teach Man City a lesson in Champions League epic clash

It’s clear that Manchester City have established themselves within football’s elite since Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan started to transform the club in 2008, but Real Madrid occupy an even higher echelon in the game’s hierarchy, delivering a painful reminder by dethroning the European champions and ending Pep Guardiola’s hopes of a double-treble. Wednesday’s victory should serve as a reminder that Real Madrid should never be underestimated or written off, even versus a team as accomplished as Guardiola’s City. Antonio Rudiger’s coolly converted spot-kick in the penalty shootout at the end of this pulsating quarterfinal tie sealed a 4-3 win on penalties for […]

Lakers survive Pelicans’ rally, advance to matchup vs. Nuggets

LeBron James posted 23 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers secured a playoff berth with a 110-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the Western Conference play-in tournament on Tuesday night. Zion Williamson had 40 points and 11 rebounds in his NBA postseason debut. But shortly after tying the game at 95 on a driving layup with 3:19 to go, Williamson went to the locker room, throwing a towel to the floor in disgust as he walked into the tunnel with an apparent injury. After the game, Pelicans coach Willie Green stated Williamson had “left leg soreness.” “He’s going to have some […]

Rafael Nadal returns to play with first-round Barcelona win

Taking it easy after months away from competitive tennis, Rafael Nadal was good enough to earn a comfortable first-round victory at the Barcelona Open on Tuesday. Nadal looked injury-free in a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Flavio Cobolli to advance to the second round in his first tournament in more than three months. Nadal converted on his second match point to seal the victory over the 21-year-old Italian ranked 62nd in the world. The Spaniard will next face Alex de Minaur, who had a first-round bye. “Taking everything into consideration, it was a good first round,” Nadal said. “I played the kind of match that I […]

Scottie Scheffler closes with 68, wins another Masters title

A victory at the 2024 Masters seemed inevitable for Scottie Scheffler. The Texan has been ranked No. 1 in the world for more than 80 weeks during his short career. He’d won eight times on the PGA Tour since February 2022, a stretch that saw him become the first golfer ever to collect the Players Championship in back-to-back years. Scheffler is regarded as perhaps golf’s best ball striker since Tiger Woods in his prime, and Scheffler’s magical hands around the greens also have drawn comparison to you-know-who. Until Sunday, Scheffler had only one major championship victory, the 2022 Masters, which might have been […]

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 […]

William Byron leads Hendrick Motorsports to 1-2-3 finish at Martinsville

William Byron stated he had nightmares coming to Martinsville Speedway this weekend, remembering his last visit when he struggled to a 13th-place finish. He not only overcame those fears, he put a cherry on top of the weekend when Hendrick Motorsports celebrated the anniversary of its first victory 40 years ago by picking up No. 305. “It was one of the worst experiences as a team, but one of the best experiences to realize the resilience that our team has. And I think that that showed today,” Byron said of last October’s penultimate race of the season. This Sunday was […]
