Pro Sports News

It’s a quiet Sunday evening at home and looking for a conversation. Short term, long term, whatever works. We can talk trash about sports, complain about work, gossip about the neighbors or whatever else comes up but let’s keep it classy.

I’m a 21 year old male that works for Amazon. I make around 30k a year. Over the last 10 months, I’ve lost 10.5k to online casino. The number kept growing, month after month, and I nearly lost everything to my addiction. My parents almost kicked me out and friends tried their best to help. After staying away for almost a month, I lost more today. I get these bad feelings and thoughts that no matter how much I save (for example, 10k), I will end up gambling it away.

There’s no way of knowing how much we’re being manipulated by marketing, online convenience, and simply ourselves. Every time I sit down to watch a sports game, there’s at least 10 commercials for gambling. As a kid, I never realized how much these assholes pushed the gambling industry. It feels disenfranchising. Ultimately, idk if watching sports is even worth it anymore. Too much temptation.

If there’s anyone else going through this, just know that I haven’t lost as much compared to you, but I still get that terrible gut punch and feeling of guilt and shame that is only “temporarily” fixed by ostracizing myself from any outside contact. So let’s promise each other not to feed the pigs anymore. Because the truth is, they’re laughing at us and relishing in our business.

Guys ask lang ako regarding sa sniper nang friend ko, yung sniper daw niya palagi fultank gamit yung 100 octane or yung petron blaze. Akala kulang ay yung mga big bike at yung sport's car ay 95 octane above lagi, piro diko talaga naintindihan na nakig 100 octane yung sniper niya

2nd pic translation: Yung sniper daw niya ginalaw nang papa niya sa head(cams and valves), para daw to prevent detonation, mas better daw mataas yung octane.

3rd pic: yan yung full tank niya 4 litters lang naman daw yung sniper niya.

Opinions?

Looking to get a first bike. The commute to work is about 10 miles. I can do either all surface street where the top speed is 40mph, or pop on the highway( unlikely -at least for awhile ), limits there is 70mph. But I make the trip 4 times a day. So -40miles. Occasionally I head home to parents place and that’s about 50miles away. Either via 70west or two alternate non-highway routes.

I really like the cafe look. Not wanting a sport bike. And I don’t want a full on cruiser.

Sat on a Royal Enfield gt650 today. It was great, except… the position is a bit too forward leaning for me. I’m about 5’10” -32”inseam,and my knee comes up just over the very small engine heat guard and tucks right under the fuel tank. I think I’m going to have heat problems with that, unless the pedals are adjustable.

Also sat on an RE interceptor. And liked it a lot. It’s about and “cruiser “ as I’d like.

I’m willing to do all my own maintenance. I have a VW gti and the wife has a ford escape. I do all the maintenance/repairs on both. And of course at some point I’ll want to modify it I’m sure.

Finally my absolute top end of price is $7k.

What should I look for?

I’m considering neighborhoods for a house in an area that’s not entirely known for being cheap, but I’m struggling. I grew up as the only Jew in high school. I was over 30 minutes from the temple, meaning no one was in my school district, sports, or other activities. I always felt detached from the people but close to the religion. I don’t want my kids to experience that, but as I look at my options, I’m really frustrated. The houses are ridiculously expensive, and obviously the interest rates could be better. On top of that, synagogues are asking a lot to join and a lot more per child for religious school, which was really important to my own life experience. How do you guys manage that? How do I pick school districts so my kids can be around other Jews?

What is the status on seizures? It seemed a few weeks ago this was going to be in aid packages from several countries. So seized funds would go back to Ukraine to either figure or rebuild.

I'd like to see sports tech and wall street money go buy Alexi jewels yachts and dachas at discounts.

My dad just gave me this Nolan Ryan baseball card, and I was wondering how much it’s worth? I’m pretty new to the Baseball Card game, and I was thinking about getting it graded since it’s in mint condition.

McLaren’s Lando Norris beats Red Bull’s Max Verstappen with help from the safety car to take his maiden Formula 1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix.

Kept you waiting, huh? Lando Norris was the big boss Sunday as he finally earned his first win in Formula One after taking the checkered flag at the Miami Grand Prix.

Although only 24 years old, Norris already held the dubious distinction of the driver with the most podium finishes without a win. The McLaren driver entered the weekend with 15 podiums to his name including eight runner-up results. Nick Heidfeld can have that infamous record back, thank you very much.

Norris was victorious along several steps up the ladder to F1 and while you could say this maiden win was inevitable, nothing is guaranteed until it actually happens. Even Norris knew he was due.

“About time, huh?” were the first words Norris said to F1 commentator Jenson Button after he was asked about the win. (Norris also said another word we can’t publish here.)

It wasn’t the perfect weekend for Norris either as bad luck struck during Saturday’s sprint when he was taken out on the opening lap through no fault of his own. Lewis Hamilton saw an opening and squeezed his Mercedes into a closing gap that set off a chain reaction with the Aston Martin pair of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll bumping Norris off the track and out of the sprint. Chalk it up as an opening lap racing incident as the only one penalized was Norris, who was handed a fine and reprimanded for subsequently crossing the live track to return to the pits.

Norris regrouped to qualify fifth for the GP and inherited the lead midway through the race as he remained out on the track while those ahead pitted. That decision proved to be critical as Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargeant crashed to bring out the safety car and allow Norris to make a “cheap” pit stop as the field slowed to a crawl.

To say it was only because of the safety car isn’t giving Norris nearly enough credit as he retained the lead upon exiting the pits and fended off Max Verstappen after the restart. Norris set the then-fastest lap and built an advantage of more than a second over Verstappen to clear the DRS (drag reduction system) window that would have allowed the Red Bull driver to make a move.

Norris maintained the race pace all the way to the end and crossed the finish line with a 7.612-second advantage over the once dominant Verstappen. No luck involved there.

Norris’ victory was just McLaren’s second win in the past 12 years for the once powerhouse team, but on the weekend featuring Star Wars Day, has the force awakened a new hope? With a name like Lando, why not?

Your wholesome content moment came as friends, former teammates and paddleball partners up and down the grid from Verstappen and Carlos Sainz to George Russell and Daniel Ricciardo congratulated Norris after the victory.

PAPAYA POWER

What a difference a year can make. McLaren was at rock bottom last season in Miami with Norris and Oscar Piastri failing to make it out of the first session of qualifying and finishing 17th and 19th, respectively. It wouldn’t be until another four races after that when things started to turn the corner thanks to mid-season upgrades with Norris finishing fourth in Austria. That was followed by their breakout in Great Britain as Norris came in second and Piastri fourth and the podiums started piling up.

Additional upgrades this week appeared to give them a boost although Piastri wasn’t able to share the wealth Sunday. Piastri collided with Sainz, sustaining damage to his front wing and requiring an extra pit stop that sent him to the back of the pack. The Australian driver managed to finish 13th and set the fastest lap, however, since he was outside of the top 10, he wasn’t awarded the bonus point. Piastri didn’t walk away empty-handed though as he scored three points during the sprint.

BAD DAY STILL GOOD FOR RED BULL

It was shaping up to be another vintage Verstappen weekend as the double-defending Miami winner breezed to victory during Saturday’s sprint and secured pole position for the sixth consecutive GP to start the season (seventh if you want to stretch the streak back to last year).

If anything though, Red Bull should be happy they didn’t have a double-DNF out of the gate as Verstappen nearly got taken out by his own teammate as Sergio Perez locked up into the first turn on the opening lap and dive-bombed right through the leaders.

While Verstappen escaped unscathed from that one, the three-time reigning world champion looked off his game as he ran into a bollard and brought out the virtual safety car on Lap 23 when he deposited the cone on the track.

After the final restart, Verstappen appeared more under threat from Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc behind him than closing the gap to Norris.

Still, second place helped Verstappen extend his championship lead to 35 points over Perez, who finished fifth.

BLUE (DA BA DEE)

The Scuderia Ferrari HP cars sported shades of blue this weekend to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the company’s presence in North America (although they could have been more blue).

A double podium should have been in the cards until Norris swooped into the lead. While that may have left them feeling a bit blue, Leclerc and Sainz finished third and fourth, respectively, to bring home a hefty amount of points. Splitting the Red Bulls was also ideal as Leclerc cut the gap to Perez for second in the drivers’ championship now down to three points.

TSUNODA MOVIN’ ON UP

Norris wasn’t the only driver to benefit from pitting under the safety car as RB’s Yuki Tsunoda also took advantage en route to finishing seventh.

After going pointless through the first two races of the season, Tsunoda has now finished in the top 10 in three of the past four GPs and also scored points during Saturday’s sprint. With Stroll failing to score points for the third consecutive race, Tsunoda has moved up into the top 10 in the drivers’ standings.

Tsunoda’s teammate Ricciardo turned in a brilliant sprint performance finishing fourth but ended up a disappointing 15th in the actual GP. Ricciardo had a miserable qualifying run and also had to serve a three-place grid penalty incurred during his last outing in China that had him starting last and had him fighting an uphill battle that was too much to overcome.

PIT STOPS

• Back to Stroll as his struggles continue to show the night-and-day difference between him and teammate Alonso. Stroll finished 17th after receiving a 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. That occurred while Stroll passed Alex Albon on Lap 52 for 13th — meaning, even if he had made it clean, he was still well out of the points. Meanwhile, Alonso came in ninth and has scored points in every GP this season.

• What was up with Kevin Magnussen this weekend? The Haas driver received three 10-second time penalties plus one five-second time penalty during the sprint and was summonded to the stewards for alleged unsportsmanlike behavior. Although Magnussen was cleared of that charge, he was handed another 10-second penalty during the GP for colliding with Sargeant. We might have to change the “five-second penalty to Ocon” meme to Magnussen.

• Alpine are out of the basement thanks to Esteban Ocon finishing 10th to score the team’s first point of the season. It might not seem like much but that puts Alpine into eighth in the constructors’ championship as Williams and Sauber remain pointless.

• Florida man crashes out: Was the homecoming for Sargeant his final outing in F1? The rumour mill was already running rampant with Sargeant on the hot seat at Williams and potentially being replaced by 17-year-old phenom Andrea Kimi Antonelli. While Sargeant’s exit Sunday wasn’t his fault, the fact of the matter is he’s only scored one point in his two seasons in F1. Sargeant’s time might not be up now, but the window is closing soon. If there is a saving grace it’s that teammate Albon hasn’t scored any points this season either.

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks made rock music giants Pearl Jam move their stage after their Saturday night concert, partly so there would be ice available Sunday morning for Thatcher Demko as the goalie works his way back from a knee injury.

Pearl Jam, an icon from the grunge music scene that began a couple of hours south in Seattle in the 1990s, has a second sold-out show at Rogers Arena on Monday night. So the big stage will be back, occupied by lead vocalist Eddie Vedder and his bandmates.

But there is no bigger stage at Rogers Arena — or Canada — this week than the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the start of the Canucks’ second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers. 

Quiet, reserved and until recently largely anonymous outside Riga and Vancouver, Arturs Silovs will be the surprising frontman for the Canucks.

While Demko, a goaltending star, has practised a handful of times, largely in private, since he was hurt in the Canucks’ playoff-opener two weeks ago, Silovs’ every move or twitch will be under the blinding glare of Hockey Night in Canada.

The Canucks-Oilers playoff quarterfinal should be a massive spectacle in Canada, which has not produced a Stanley Cup winner since 1993 but is guaranteed to have one team in the Final Four later this month.

Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2: Canucks vs. Oilers

Keep up with the latest news and analysis as the Vancouver Canucks battle the Edmonton Oilers in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Full coverage

Three years ago, as a sixth-round draft pick out of Latvia, Silovs was so far down the Canucks’ organizational depth chart that his only game of the 2021 pandemic season was on loan with the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose.

Last week, the 23-year-old became the Canucks’ playoff starter after injuries to Demko and backup goalie Casey DeSmith. And on Friday, in the franchise’s biggest game in 13 years, Silovs posted a 28-save shutout as Vancouver beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 in Music City to advance to the Stanley Cup tournament’s second round.

You could write a song about Silovs. Somebody in Canucks Nation probably will.

“You just have to be always ready,” Silovs told reporters Sunday during a staged media availability away from ice at Rogers Arena. “A lot of things happen in life, like accidents, someone gets hurt, right? And you just have to be ready to embrace your moment.

“Like, every single day is a challenge, right? So you’ve got to embrace it. And that’s how I do it day by day. Just stick to your game. Stick to the basics you do every single day, and just be confident.”

Silovs checked all three boxes against the Predators, starting the last half of the six-game series and finishing with two wins and a .938 save percentage.

With DeSmith healthy and coming off a superb 2-1 win in Game 3, giving the crease to Silovs, who had logged nine games in the NHL before these playoffs, was a massive decision by head coach Rick Tocchet and goaltending coach Ian Clark.

For Silovs, “You could just tell the moment is not too big,” Tocchet said after Game 6.

“I would say just his demeanour,” the head coach elaborated on Sunday. “He’s the same way when. . . we named him to play as when he was backing up. I didn’t see much of a difference. Sometimes you tell a guy he’s playing. . . even as a forward or defenceman, guys get a little bit more intense. He’s the same guy, like, whether he was a backup or a starter.”

Silovs seems unlikely to change now.

Assistant general manager Ryan Johnson, who oversees Vancouver’s minor-league team and player development, marvelled last season that Silovs barely reacted when Johnson called to tell him he was being called up to Canucks to make his NHL debut in February amid another injury crisis.

Given this life-changing news, Johnson said, many players start to yell and scream. Sometimes there is stunned silence at the other end of the phone, occasionally tears.

Silovs’ reaction?

“Okay, thanks.”

Asked if Silovs speaks in the dressing room, Canucks captain Quinn Hughes confirmed on Sunday, “no.”

“Clarkie’s got him in a chokehold right now,” veteran centre J.T. Miller joked. “No, really, I don’t see a whole lot of him. We say hi to each other — a little extra smiley since the incident with him — but. . . he just kind of goes about his business. I know he works really hard, and he’s obviously learning a lot right now. This is an important time for him, and I’m sure he’s feeling confident, feeling good about himself, which is really important.”

The ”incident,” of course, was Miller easing tension around the Canucks after the Predators won Game 5 by wearing Silovs’ salmon-coloured, paisley-emblazoned dress shirt as an outer layer over his equipment for practice on Thursday.

Silovs confirmed that Miller returned the shirt, and the goalie hasn’t decided if he will wear it again.

“You’re bonding every single day more and more,” Silovs said of his new team. “Especially, like, when it’s tough pressure moments. . . it’s bonding even more. It’s like everything, like, just comes together.”

Game 6 made Silovs a folk hero on the West Coast.

“I think for me, it’s like I just have to keep on my things, my game,” he said. “It’s like outside noise. Like, it’s nice to have it. But (you must) be so focused on doing your job.”

With Game 1 against the Oilers not until Tuesday or Wednesday, Tocchet wasn’t naming his starter on Sunday. But if it’s not Silovs over DeSmith, there could be another Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. 

The quiet return to the ice last week of Demko, the Vezina Trophy finalist, is yet another interesting wrinkle in the Canucks’ goaltending drama.

“You always hope,” Tocchet said when asked if expects Demko to be available to play before the series is over. “The expect? I mean, things change day to day. But there has been improvement. To what extent? From my experience, it’s a slow process (recovering from injury) and all of a sudden, two three days later. . . I really feel good. I don’t know where that’s at (in this case). It has improved, but to what percentage, I don’t know.”

WORTH REPEATING

Tocchet on Oilers superstar Connor McDavid: “The one thing I really respect about Connor — obviously he’s a great player. . .  probably one of the best players ever — is his work ethic. I mean, when you see him on the ice a half-hour before a practice working on his game with a skills coach. Or if there’s an optional, he’s on the ice. Or the way he trains. . . it’s like Sidney Crosby, it’s the (Nathan) MacKinnons, it’s the (Cale) Makars. All these guys, they work their asses off. Connor McDavid is obsessed to be better. That’s why I respect those guys; they’re obsessed to be better.”

Forget the past: Oilers, Canucks series all about the here and now

2024 Stanley Cup Series Preview: Canucks vs. Oilers

The first round is (mostly) complete. Which teams will make it to the conference finals? Our ESPN hockey experts make their predictions.

Taylor Pendrith looked at his young son, Hayes, and with a big smile said, “Hey buddy!” His wife, Meg – formerly a front-line nurse in Hamilton in the throughs of the COVID-19 pandemic – was there, tears in her eyes.

His longtime coach, Derek Ingram, couldn’t be more fired up while watching at home. Ditto Corey Conners. Jill Pendrith, Taylor’s mother, said she and Taylor’s father, Darrell, were on the edge of their seats all day. Mackenzie Hughes trotted out a handful of cold beers and poured one on Pendrith’s back.

This is the kind of thing Canada has on the PGA Tour these days – a generation unlike any this country has ever seen.

Add Pendrith’s name to the list alongside his friends. He did it, too.

Pendrith is a PGA Tour winner.

The long-hitting Canadian has been plagued by the injury bug over the last half decade – shoulder, wrist, palm (of all things), a positive COVID-19 test, rib, and shoulder again – but through it all he kept working and kept going.

He captured the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in dramatic fashion Sunday night despite, perhaps, a bit of an ominous Saturday.

“I was a little disappointed that the Toronto Maple Leafs lost last night, so that was mostly on my mind,” the native of Richmond Hill, Ont. said with a laugh. “(Winning on the PGA Tour) has been something that I’ve been working towards my whole career and to finally get it done feels unbelievable.”

Pendrith – who admitted his maiden PGA Tour title took some of the sting out of the Leafs’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins– calmly rolled in a three-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to top Ben Kohles by one at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas. Kohles hit a laser to within two feet on the par-4 16th for birdie and backed it up with another birdie on the penultimate hole of the championship to take the lead. He stumbled for the first time all day on the par-5 18th, however, missing his first fairway of the round, chunking a chip, and then missing a five-foot par attempt to finish at 22 under.

Television cameras showed Meg, mouth-wide-open. She couldn’t believe Kohles – who had been rock steady all day – left the door open for Pendrith to win. The Canadian stepped up and knocked in his birdie try to finish at 23 under.

“I feel for Ben. He played really good today, especially down the stretch,” Pendrith said. “I’ve been on that other side of it and it sucks but it’s golf and it’s a hard game. But I’m thrilled to birdie the last and get it done.”

Pendrith played the 18th hole to perfection, knocking his drive 322 yards down the middle before two-putting. Pendrith tied the low round of the week Saturday with an 8-under 63 to get into the final group Sunday and made just one bogey en route to a 4-under 67.

He became the second Canadian to win on the PGA Tour this year – after Nick Taylor at the WM Phoenix Open – and will likely move into the top 60 in the world, his highest-ever spot on the Official World Golf Ranking, when the rankings are confirmed Monday.

Among the big-time rewards Pendrith earns with his victory, he gets a spot in the Wells Fargo Championship next week (a Signature Event), the PGA Championship in two weeks, and next April he will make his debut at the Masters.

Pendrith attended a dinner hosted by International Presidents Cup team captain Mike Weir earlier in the week and with his win, he’ll very much have Weir’s attention as the balance of the season unfolds to join the team on home soil in Montreal.

“So happy for Taylor and seeing how eager he is to be part of our International Team,” Weir told Sportsnet. “He showed me a lot this week.”

Pendrith said earlier in the week he had switched out the shaft in his driver about a month ago and he got plenty of his confidence back with the big stick. He entered the week 151st on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: off the tee but he was sixth in that stat for the week at TPC Craig Ranch. Combine the off-the-tee impressiveness with an all-world short game (he was third in strokes gained: around the green and 14th in strokes gained: putting) and you have as complete an effort as Pendrith has ever had on the PGA Tour.  

Pendrith had a PRP injection in his injured left shoulder about two-and-a-half months ago and that has got him feeling “way better,” he said earlier in the week. He also admitted his mental game “hasn’t been great” the last six weeks or so, but he worked with his coach – Adrienne Leslie-Toogood – on his approach to things inside the ropes.

“I’ve just been working on acceptance. Everyone wants that putt to win a PGA Tour event. I was nervous for sure (over the final putt) but my caddie and I, we’ve been working on our communication, and he said, ‘this is the straightest putt you’ve had all year, just knock it in,’” Pendrith said. 

The injuries and the doubt and the long road finally reached an impressive and exciting finish line Sunday night. A special moment for his family unfolded – one of those things that PGA Tour parents long talk about. And now Pendrith gets to put his name in history alongside one of the game’s greats.

“It feels unbelievable to see some of those names on this trophy, it’s crazy,” Pendrith said. “I still can’t believe that I’m a winner of this tournament.”

HOUSTON (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the ninth to give the Seattle Mariners a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Raleigh sent an 0-2 pitch from Josh Hader (1-3) into the Crawford Boxes in left field with one out in the ninth. Luis Urías tied it at four in the eighth on an RBI single.

Andrés Muñoz (2-2) pitched the final 1 1/3 innings for the win.

Jon Singleton launched a two-run homer to right to give Houston a 4-3 lead in the seventh. Kyle Tucker cut the lead to 3-2 with a two-run homer to right in the sixth.

Luke Raley hit a solo home run into the second deck in right field to lead off the sixth, and the Mariners got two in the second on an Urías bases loaded walk and Josh Rojas RBI single. Rojas finished with three hits.

Seattle starter Bryce Miller allowed four runs on six hits with three strikeouts in six innings.

Houston starter Hunter Brown gave up two runs on five hits with four walks and five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

PIRATES 5, ROCKIES 3

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Oneil Cruz hit a two-run homer to highlight a four-run sixth inning, powering Pittsburgh past Colorado for a series win.

Cruz sent a slider from Ryan Feltner (1-3) 429 feet to right-centre, bouncing his fifth of the season off the roof of a bar beyond the stands to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-3. He also had a double for his first game with multiple extra-base hits in 35 games this season.

Rowdy Tellez then hit a double to right before scoring on a single from Jack Suwinski. Feltner, who gave up five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, began the inning by allowing a single to Connor Joe and a double to Bryan Reynolds in the first four pitches. Joe scored on a grounder from Ke’Bryan Hayes.

The Pirates took the final two of the three-game set, their first series victory since winning two of three against Baltimore from April 5-7. The Rockies, who have lost seven of eight, have yet to win a series.

Luis Ortiz (2-1) was perfect in 1 2/3 innings after replacing Pittsburgh starter Bailey Falter with one out in the sixth. David Bednar picked up his sixth save, allowing a two-out double from Sean Bouchard before striking out Jake Cave in the ninth.

GUARDIANS 4, ANGELS 1

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jose Ramirez broke an 0-for-19 skid and finished a 10-pitch at-bat with a two-run home run and Josh Naylor also hit a two-run shot to lift Cleveland to a victory over Los Angeles.

Ramirez, a five-time All-Star had been hitless in six consecutive games before connecting on a full-count fastball from Griffin Canning (1-4) in the sixth inning to wipe out a 1-0 deficit. Andres Gimenez singled and Ramirez followed with his sixth home run of the season into the stands in right-centre.

Naylor added insurance with his team-leading eighth homer with two outs in the eighth inning off Matt Moore. Naylor’s shot came after Ramirez drew a two-out walk.

Carlos Carrasco (2-2) allowed one run and six hits over six innings. He had given up 13 runs and five home runs over nine innings in his previous two starts.

Emmanuel Clase pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 10th save in 12 chances.

Canning (1-4) pitched a season-high six innings, giving up just two runs while striking out five and walking one.

WHITE SOX 5, CARDINALS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Eloy Jimenez homered and Garrett Crochet tossed six effective innings to help Chicago to a win over St. Louis.

Chicago had lost 14 of its first 16 road games this season, Paul DeJong added a run-scoring double for the White Sox, who won their first road series of the season. DeJong spent seven seasons in St. Louis from 2017-2023.

Willson Contreras homered for St. Louis, which has lost four of five.

Jimenez hit his fourth of the season off reliever Giovanny Gallegos (2-1) to snap a 1-1 tie leading off the seventh inning. The drive kick-started a four-run outburst.

Crochet (2-4) allowed one run on three hits. He had given up 16 earned runs in 16 2/3 innings over his previous four starts. He struck out six and did not walk a batter.

CUBS 5, BREWERS 0

CHICAGO (AP) — Javier Assad pitched six sparkling innings, and Chicago beat Freddy Peralta and Milwaukee in the rubber game of their weekend set.

Assad (3-0) allowed four hits, struck out four and walked three, lowering his ERA to 1.66. The right-hander has permitted two or fewer runs in each of his seven starts this season.

Chicago posted two straight wins against Milwaukee after losing 3-1 on Friday. The starting pitchers for the Cubs combined for 18 1/3 scoreless innings in the series, allowing a total of nine hits.

Peralta (3-1) matched his career high with six walks in five innings. He allowed three hits and struck out five on a sunny, cool day at Wrigley Field.

It was the right-hander’s first start since he was suspended five games for his role in a brawl with the Rays on Tuesday. He is appealing the punishment by Major League Baseball.

The Cubs grabbed control with three runs in Peralta’s final inning. Nico Hoerner hit a two-run double, advanced on a groundout and scored on a two-out wild pitch.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ceddanne Rafaela hit the first Boston home run in seven games, Rafael Devers added another as they ended Minnesota’s 12-game winning streak.

Vaughn Grissom and Dominic Smith had two-run doubles, and Boston ended a three-game slide in which it scored just four runs.

Ryan Jeffers homered and Trevor Larnach had an RBI single for Minnesota.

The Twins 12-game winning streak was tied for the second-longest in team history behind a 15-win run in June 1991, the last season Minnesota won the World Series.

With one out in the fifth, Rafaela hit a full count offering from Joe Ryan into the first row of the left centre field seats for a two-run home run and a 3-1 lead. Rafaela hit the team’s previous round-tripper in last Saturday’s 17-0 win over the Cubs.

Grissom had a two-run double for a 5-1 eighth-inning lead. Smith, the next batter, added a two-run double with the ball going off the glove of Manuel Margot who was battling the sun on a cloudless 69-degree afternoon.

Devers hit a two-run shot in the ninth.

RAYS 7, METS 6, 10 INNINGS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Randy Arozarena hit a tying homer off Edwin Díaz with two outs in the ninth inning, Jonny DeLuca lined a two-run triple in the 10th and Tampa Bay beat New York for a three-game sweep.

Automatic runner José Caballero stole third as Jake Diekman (1-1) walked Ben Rortvedt leading off the 10th. Both runners scored when DeLuca’s line drive got past a diving Harrison Bader in centre field.

New York took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 10th when Bader scored on an error by first baseman Yandy Díaz, who was unable to make a clean catch on a low throw after Brandon Nimmo’s grounder was deflected by reliever Erasmo Ramírez (1-0).

A slumping Arozarena pulled the Rays even at 5 with a two-out solo homer to left field on a full-count pitch from Edwin Díaz, who had converted 26 consecutive save chances dating to 2022 — the longest active streak in the majors.

Arozarena, a 2023 All-Star, is hitting .143. He struck out three times in his first four at-bats.

New York has lost eight straight games at Tropicana Field.

YANKEES 5, TIGERS 2, 8 INNINGS

NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto hit a three-run double that snapped a seventh-inning tie and New York beat Detroit in a rain-shortened game to finish a weekend sweep.

The game was called following a 56-minute delay in the middle of the eighth after the teams played through a steady drizzle much of the day.

Completing a 17-day stretch without a break in the schedule, the Yankees improved to a season-high 10 games over .500.

New York loaded the bases against reliever Shelby Miller (3-4) in the seventh before Soto lined Andrew Chafin’s sinker down the right-field line to break a 2-all tie.

The Yankees loaded the bases again but were unable to capitalize in a half-inning that took more than 30 minutes. Soto has 28 RBIs, most on the team.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eddie Rosario’s two-run homer in the seventh inning broke an 8-8 tie and Washington beat Toronto Blue.

After Jesse Winker doubled against Genesis Cabrera (1-1) leading off, Erik Swanson came on and got two outs, but Rosario homered to right centre to make it 10-8.

The start of the game was delayed 85 minutes by rain in the forecast and it featured five lead changes.

Luis Garcia, Jr. had four hits including a home run and drove in four runs, and Winker added a three-run homer for Washington, which took two of three from Toronto.

Hunter Harvey (2-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win and Kyle Finnegan worked the ninth for his 11th save.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. hit his fifth career grand slam for the Blue Jays, who have lost four of five. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had two hits and drove in three runs.

DODGERS 5, BRAVES 1

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani went 4 for 4 with two home runs, and Los Angeles beat Atlanta to sweep the three-game series.

Ohtani launched a hanging curveball from Braves started Max Fried 412 feet over the centre field fence for a two-run homer in the first inning. He added a pair of singles in the third and the sixth before leading off the eighth inning with a 464-foot blast off reliever A.J. Minter deep into the left centre field bleachers.

It was Ohtani’s first multihomer game with the Dodgers and the 17th of his career. His four hits also tied a career high. He is now tied for the major league lead with 10 home runs this season.

Teoscar Hernandez added a two-run homer and James Paxton took a shutout into the seventh inning for the Dodgers. Paxton (4-0) finished with 6 2/3 innings pitched, five hits and one run allowed, two walks and three strikeouts to remain unbeaten on the season.

Marcell Ozuna homered for the Braves, who have lost five of their last six. Fried (2-1) pitched seven innings, allowed four hits and four runs, walked three and struck out seven.

RANGERS 3, ROYALS 2, 10 INNINGS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jonah Heim hit a tying solo home run in the ninth inning and Nathaniel Lowe had a go-ahead RBI single in the 10th, leading Texas to a victory over Kansas City.

With one out in the 10th, Corey Seager singled off James McArthur (1-1) to put runners on first and third. Lowe followed with his third RBI of the series to score Leody Tavares.

David Robertson pitched a scoreless 10th that included an intentional walk to Bobby Witt Jr. with two outs to seal the win for the Rangers with his first save of the season.

Kirby Yates (3-0) earned the win by tossing two scoreless innings of relief. 

Heim tied it at 2 in the ninth off McArthur when his shot struck the right-field foul pole for a home run. The homer snapped a season-high four-game drought for the Rangers.

It was the third straight series win for the Rangers overall and the sixth in a row against the Royals since 2021. 

ORIOLES 11, REDS 1

CINCINNATI (AP) — Dean Kremer pitched six shutout innings, Anthony Santander hit his third career grand slam and Baltimore completed a three-game series sweep of Cincinnati.

Jordan Westburg hit a two-run homer and Ryan McKenna added a solo shot for the Orioles, who have won four straight games and six of their last seven.

Kremer (3-2) retired the first 13 batters he faced until Christian Encarnacion-Strand singled with one out in the fifth. The Reds managed only one hit and a walk in Kremer’s six innings. He struck out six.

Orioles starting pitchers were dominant in the three-game series. Cole Irvin pitched six shutout innings on Friday and John Means blanked the Reds through seven Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Reds’ offence continues to sputter. They have scored just two runs in their last 36 innings played in Great American Ball Park. The Reds are batting a major-league worst .209 as a team. 

MARLINS 12, ATHLETICS 3

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nick Gordon had four hits, including his first home run in three weeks, and Miami beat Oakland to end their six-game winning streak Sunday.

Josh Bell had a pair of RBI singles and Jonah Bride drove in two runs as the Marlins won for the third time in 12 games and avoided a series sweep.

Miami got 14 hits and had eight players with at least one RBI, a stark difference from a day earlier when the Marlins’ bats were mostly muffled in a 20-4 loss to the A’s.

Brent Rooker, who homered twice in one inning during the blowout victory Saturday, had two hits and scored twice for Oakland.

The game attracted a crowd of 12,212, the largest at the Coliseum since opening day.

Gordon was in a 1-for-21 funk before his two-run homer off starter Joe Boyle. That capped a four-run inning that began when Boyle walked the bases loaded on 14 pitches.

Boyle (2-5) sustained a lower back injury and was removed after the first.

DIAMONDBACKS 11, PADRES 4

PHOENIX (AP) — Ketel Marte and Joc Pederson homered to back Ryne Nelson’s return to the mound and Arizona snapped a three-game losing streak defeating San Diego.

The Diamondbacks roughed up Padres starter Matt Waldron (1-4), who gave up eight runs (seven earned) and eight hits in three innings.

Marte’s two-run homer and Corbin Carroll’s two-run single came in a four-run first inning.

San Diego, which had its four-game winning streak end, came back with three in the second on Jackson Merrill’s two-run homer and Kyle Higashioka’s RBI double against Nelson (2-2), who was activated from the injured list to make the start.

But Arizona answered with two more runs in its half of the inning on RBI hits from Jake McCarthy and Christian Walker.

Pederson’s homer, a two-run shot to right, came off Jhonny Brito, who relieved Waldron in the fourth when Arizona had another four-run inning.
