Jurickson Profar had a night to remember – both good and bad. First, the bad. The Athletics infielder botched a double play which allowed the Yankees to get out to a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning. Then, the good. Profar broke the second tie for a second time Friday – the first was with a 0-0 score and a home run in the second – with a two-run double in the sixth to give…
The Astros’ six-game winning streak is over as they lost to the Rays 9-8 on Thursday, but it very well may not have ended had it not been for a strike-three call in the ninth inning. Houston entered the ninth down 9-7 to the Rays, but Abraham Toro’s solo home run cut the lead to 9-8 with no outs. Then, after Robinson Chirinos struck out, Reddick appeared to draw a walk in the next plate…
Jadeveon Clowney doesn’t appear like he’ll be heading to Washington. The Redskins are unwilling to send Trent Williams to the Texans and are considered a “no-go” in the sweepstakes for the 26-year-old pash-rusher, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle. Williams and Clowney have both yet to report to their respective teams. Clowney hasn’t signed the franchise tag and remains away from the Texans. He’s willing to miss regular season games over his contract…
Lonzo Ball claims he didn’t intend to upset anyone. The 21-year-old Pelicans guard said Thursday on Twitter he wasn’t “dissing” the Lakers in his new single “Last Days.” “I’m not dissing anybody I loved my time in LA,” Ball wrote. “I use my music as an outlet to express things that happen in my life #50and30 out now! Let me know y’all favorite track.” Ball was originally selected by the Lakers with the No. 2…
Atlanta United has another trophy to add to the club’s ever-growing case. Having claimed the MLS Cup title last season and followed up with a Campeones Cup crown earlier this month, the Five Stripes added a U.S. Open Cup trophy with a 2-1 win over Minnesota United on Tuesday. A U.S. Open Cup record crowd at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium saw the home side jump out to an early lead through an own goal. Minnesota United’s…
No matter what Andrew Luck did for the Colts, he was never going to be Peyton Manning. When the misfortune of Manning’s career in Indianapolis ending with a neck injury led to the fortune of the Colts landing Luck, there were unreasonable expectations for Luck, another can’t-miss No. 1 overall pick 14 years after Manning was drafted. But Luck’s retirement before his age-30 season – the same age at which Manning led Indianapolis to its…
Road struggles remain a dark cloud over a Cubs season filled with lofty expectations. Chicago enters Tuesday’s game in New York vs. the Mets with a 25-39 road record, one of the worst marks in baseball this season. The club’s struggles away from Wrigley Field are well-documented, and yet they might not block their path to the National League Central title or wild-card berth. RIVERA: Seven things I totally, definitely, absolutely did not expect to…
Carli Lloyd received an offer to kick in an NFL preseason game later this week, her trainer, James Galanis told FOX Sports. Lloyd, a two-time World Cup champion with the USWNT, drilled a 55-yard field goal at Eagles practice last week, which led to one unnamed team asking her to be on its roster for its matchup Thursday, Galanis said. Lloyd was genuinely interested, Galanis said, but she declined the invitation because it conflicts with…
