Spencer Torkelson and Andy Ibañez homer as Detroit Tigers beat San Diego Padres 3-1

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:08:49 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Torkelson and Andy Ibañez homered, and the Detroit Tigers beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Sunday to avoid a weekend sweep.Alex Faedo (2-4), who entered with a 6.98 ERA, pitched six shutout innings for Detroit. The right-hander allowed one hit and walked four.“That lineup has guys one through nine who can not only put the ball out of the park but put it in the gap and do everything with the stick,” Faedo said. “You have to stay out of the middle of the plate, so that was kind of my approach.”Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was impressed by his young starter’s poise against one of baseball’s most dangerous lineups.“We asked a lot from him today and he delivered,” he said. “He’s seen the damage the last couple of days and he knows the names in that lineup. He stayed locked in, even after a couple of misfires, and got some big outs.”Beau Brieske and Jason Foley each worked an inning before Alex Lange pitched a rainy ninth for his 17th save. With runners on ...

Rahm, Day and others fail to put pressure on Harman in damp finale at British Open

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:08:49 GMT

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Jon Rahm was so eager to begin chasing down Brian Harman in the final round of the British Open that he was putting his tee in the ground on No. 1 when the starter said: “On the tee, Viktor Hovland.”Rahm stepped aside and waited his turn, but he was on a mission at Royal Liverpool on Sunday. And after five holes — amid cries of “Do it for Seve!” and “Vamos, Rahmbo!” from spectators — the Spaniard’s deficit to the leader had been trimmed from six shots overnight to three.It was the closest he, or anyone else, would get all day.No player in a long and varied list of potential threats to Harman — ranging from major champions (Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day) to a local favorite (Tommy Fleetwood) to up-and-coming talents (Tom Kim) — could mount any sort of sustained challenge to the American left-hander on a wet and miserable afternoon on the Hoylake links.Harman started his round on 12-under par and finished it on 13 under. None of the chasers made it to 9 under.“...

Shohei Ohtani’s next mound start for Angels moved back a day to key Toronto series

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:08:49 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s next scheduled mound start for the Los Angeles Angels has been pushed back one day to Friday in Toronto.Angels manager Phil Nevin announced the decision Sunday on Ohtani, who had been tentatively scheduled to take his semiregular turn in the rotation on Thursday in Detroit.Ohtani instead will take the mound Friday night when the Angels open a weekend series against the Blue Jays, a fellow contender for the AL’s wild-card playoff spots.The mound start in Toronto will be the last for Ohtani before the trade deadline. The Angels must decide whether to trade Ohtani or to risk losing him for almost nothing as an unrestricted free agent in the winter.Nevin said the Angels pushed back Ohtani to give him six days of rest between mound starts, but also to shift the rotation so Ohtani doesn’t have to make his ensuing start on a Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta. Nevin is worried that the heat and humidity in that day game against the Brave...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers will skip All-Star right-hander Nathan Eovaldi for one turn through the rotation as part of a plan to give all their starters some rest.The decision revealed Sunday by manager Bruce Bochy means Eovaldi won’t pitch when the AL West-leading Rangers visit in-state rival and defending World Series champion Houston starting Monday.Jon Gray will pitch Monday’s series opener, and left-hander Andrew Heaney will get the finale Wednesday. Texas hasn’t decided who will take Eovaldi’s turn Tuesday.While acknowledging that Eovaldi’s velocity was down while throwing six scoreless innings in his most recent start against Tampa Bay, Bochy said that wasn’t the only factor in the timing.Eovaldi didn’t get the full All-Star break after making the team for the second time. He pitched a scoreless inning in the AL’s 3-2 loss to the NL.“This was talked about before the season,” Bochy said. “At some point, we’d like t...

McIlroy tries to stay positive after British Open despite extending winless streak in majors

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:08:49 GMT

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Once again, Rory McIlroy was roaming near the top of the leaderboard of a major on Sunday. Once again, he was nowhere to be seen during the trophy presentation.McIlroy failed to win a major for the 34th straight time on Sunday at the British Open. Still, he again finished well and picked up his seventh top-10 finish in the last eight majors he played, giving him reason to stay positive going forward. “Over the last two years would I have loved to have picked one of those off that I finished up there? Absolutely,” McIlroy said. “But every time I tee it up, or most times I tee it up, I’m right there. I can’t sit here and be too frustrated. You think about my performances in the majors between like 2016 and 2019, it’s a lot better than that.”McIlroy finished in a tie for sixth at Royal Liverpool after a final-round 3-under 68. He ended 6 under for the tournament, seven shots behind winner Brian Harman.“Overall solid performance, not spectacular, but a lot of opt...
