TORONTO (AP) — Kole Calhoun hit a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-7 on Sunday.José Ramirez and Ramón Laureano each hit two-run home runs as the Guardians took two of three from Toronto.Calhoun said he hoped the victory would energize Cleveland before a three-game series at AL Central-leading Minnesota that begins Monday.“Huge game,” Calhoun said. “Hopefully we can use that momentum as we roll into the biggest series of the year for us right now. It’s a game you can definitely build on.”Laureano went 3 for 4 with two walks, while Calhoun was 3 for 5 with a walk. Both scored three runs.“We’re lucky to have (Calhoun),” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. “And Laureano is chipping in, doing some things too. And they’ve been hitting in the middle of the order. They’ve done a really good job.”Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each hit two-run home runs, and George Springer added a solo shot, but it wasn’t enough fo...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:39 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander grabbed the bill of his cap and nodded toward Miguel Cabrera when he faced his former teammate.Then, he struck him out.“We’ve had a lot of great memories on and off the field,” Verlander said after helping the Houston Astros rout the Detroit Tigers 17-4 on Sunday. “I love that guy. I have so much respect for him. I’m glad A.J. (Hinch) put him in the lineup and I’m glad we had that moment.”The 40-year-old Cabrera, who plans to retire after the season, grounded out in the third inning against Verlander.Astros manager Dusty Baker, who is in 26th season as a manager after a 19-year playing career, compared the matchup to Hank Aaron going against Bob Gibson and Barry Bonds facing Pedro Martinez.“I remember some good ones,” the 74-year-old Baker said.Cabrera prevented the shutout, hitting a three-run homer to make it 14-3 in the eighth off Phil Maton.The playoff-contending Astros won the three-game series with their second straight win, followin...

Lowe’s 4 RBIs lead Rays over Yankees 7-4 as 5 batters hit and New York drops 6 games under .500

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:39 GMT

ST. PETERBURG, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Lowe homered and drove in four runs as the AL wild card-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the Yankees 7-4 in a contentious matchup on Sunday and kept New York winless in series since June.Benches and bullpens emptied twice in the eighth inning after one of five hit batters but no punches were thrown, and the Yankees lost their eighth straight series rubber game,“Looking at it in a different view, it’s a last-place team,” Lowe said, “We don’t need to worry about it. We need to focus up on what we need to do down the stretch. If they lose a guy, it’s not going to be quite as big of a deal as if we’re losing one of our guys. We’re focused up on kind of a bigger picture.”Tampa Bay rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the sixth when Harold Ramírez flared a bases-loaded, two-out single to right off Ian Hamilton (2-2) that went just over a slow-to-react Gleyber Torres at second, and Lowe followed with a two-run single against Wandy Peralt...

Franklin forecast to become ‘major hurricane’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:39 GMT

As Tropical Storm Idalia moved toward the Gulf of Mexico Sunday, forecasters were monitoring other systems, including a Category 2 Hurricane Franklin — which is now forecast to become a major hurricane Sunday, meaning Category 3 or above.Hurricane Franklin, located less than 565 miles west-southwest of Bermuda as of 11 a.m. Sunday, was moving north-northeast at about 8 mph, with sustained wind speeds nearing 100 mph.Bermuda is currently on the southern edge of the cone representing the possible path of the eye of the storm. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles.If Franklin strengthens as predicted, it would be the season’s first major hurricane. Franklin, the second hurricane of the Atlantic season, is forecast to move along the Atlantic near Bermuda and curve away from the U.S.Hurricane Don formed in late July but was no threat to land.Franklin is expected to move west of Bermuda on Monday a...

Mookie Betts makes difference in Dodgers’ 7-4 defeat of Red Sox

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:39 GMT

“You like rainbows? It’s a rainbow today on the card.”That’s how Alex Cora described the bullpen situation on Sunday morning.“We got green, got yellow, orange, red,” the Red Sox manager continued, alluding to the levels of availability and unavailability on the lineup card. “We’ll be okay.”Indeed, the Red Sox were “okay” on Sunday, but not good enough to overcome Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers, who took the series with a 7-4 victory.“We tried, but they were really good today,” Cora said on Sunday evening.Sunday was the Red Sox’s Game No. 13 of a 16-game stretch without a day off, and they’d gone through five relievers on Saturday. They’d also played without Kenley Jansen since August 23 and lost Brennan Bernardino to the COVID-related injured list on Sunday morning.In other words, Cora needed his starter to get the job done.Unfortunately, Tanner Houck scuffled a bit on Sunday afternoon.
