A’s score in 9th, beat Reds 5-4 to stop 9-game home skid

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:01:01 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Esteury Ruiz was absolutely certain he got hit by a pitch to load the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning. When he got called back to home plate by umpires after a replay review overturned the call, it appeared to be just another wacky situation in a season full of them for the Oakland Athletics.Instead, Ruiz turned it into a potentially pivotal moment for the struggling A’s when he singled in the winning run and Oakland beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Sunday to end its nine-game home losing streak.“It’s something you can’t put words to,” Ruiz said through translator Sergio Almodovar when asked about his first career walk-off hit. “We’ve been starting off slow but little by little we’ve been working and working. A game like this is something we can build on.”Jesús Aguilar and Brent Rooker homered for the A’s. The victory prevented Oakland (6-23) from having the worst 29-game start to a season since the 2003 Detroit Tigers opened 4-25. The crowd of 18,271 w...

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

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:01:01 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — 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 Yastrzemsk i, 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 to be similar and it had a different feeling and we kind of have to play it a more traditional ballgame,” Carpenter said. In the thin air of Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, 7,349 feet above sea level, the first inning turned into another power display when Lamonte Wade Jr. led off with a home run off Yu Darvish.Then the game settled down and the crowd, a majority supp...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — With his big-game swagger on display for the world and that signature mouthpiece dangling from a celebratory grin, Stephen Curry drove fearlessly to the basket with jaw-dropping acrobatics all afternoon and he fired with precision from way back in a Game 7 extravaganza for the ages.He even playfully pretended to push the button and Light the Beam, Sacramento-style. Curry scored a playoff career-high 50 points in the most prolific Game 7 performance ever and answered time and again to will the Warriors on in their quest for a repeat, sending Golden State into the Western Conference semifinals with a 120-100 win against the Sacramento Kings in Sunday’s winner-take-all Game 7.Curry led a memorable comeback in the series, too, perhaps improbable even for the defending champions when they got down 2-0 and given their road woes all season. “It’s amazing ‘cuz you’re still in the fight,” Curry said. “Better than the alternative of on the outside looking in.

McLaughlin nabs IndyCar win at Barber over Grosjean

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:01:01 GMT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Scott McLaughlin was once again racing Romain Grosjean for a potential win. That’s where the similarities to their last run-in ended.McLaughlin got a late opening to surge past Grosjean, took advantage of it and was scarcely challenged the rest of the way Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park, where the New Zealander picked up his fourth career IndyCar win. It was the second time this season they’ve been in that position, but this time McLaughlin and Grosjean avoided getting tangled up. Grosjean had been furious with McLaughlin when the two touched heading into a corner at the season-opener in St. Petersburg, Florida, both slamming into a tire barrier. McLaughlin drew an avoidable contact penalty and later apologized to Grosjean. After winning Sunday, McLaughlin said “there’s no hard feelings” between the two. McLaughlin had hugged Grosjean after their race-ending crash at St. Pete. “I knew if I hit him this time, it would be bad,” McLaughlin said. “I...

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Debinha scored a pair of goals within a four-minute span in the second half and the Kansas City Current downed Gotham 2-0 on Sunday. It was the second straight regular-season victory for the Current, who started the year with three straight losses. The win snapped a two-game winning streak for Gotham (3-2-0), who were playing without Midge Purce because of a hip injury. The Current (2-3-0) pressured Gotham early in the second half, when rookie Michelle Cooper’s point-blank shot was stopped by Gotham goalkeeper Abby Smith. Debinha’s first goal came in the 57th minute when she scored on a break following a pass from Lo’eau LaBonta. The Brazilian scored again in the 61st when Smith came way out of her goal. Debinha became the first Kansas City player with a two-goal game. The Current started play in the National Women’s Soccer League as an expansion team in 2021. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Finau wins Mexico Open, Gooch wins 2nd straight LIV event

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:01:01 GMT

VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Tony Finau never gave Masters champion Jon Rahm or anyone else much of a chance Sunday, closing with a bogey-free round of 5-under 66 that gave him a three-shot victory in the Mexico Open.Finau earned a small measure of redemption at Vallarta Vidanta, where last year he finished runner-up to Rahm by one shot. Finau took a two-shot lead into the final round and was never seriously challenged on the back nine.Rahm wasn’t his biggest threat. Brandon Wu, also a runner-up last year, holed a 45-foot eagle putt on the par-5 sixth hole and made a short birdie on the next hole to briefly tie for the lead. Finau answered with a birdie on the seventh, and then Wu fell back with a bogey from the bunker on No. 8 and a tee shot into the water on the 10th that led to double bogey. Wu shot 68 and finished third.Rahm closed with a 67 and certainly had his chances. He was three behind Finau at the turn, but failed to birdie two of the par 5s with a poor drive on the 12th and a...
