MILWAUKEE (AP) — Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio homered and the Milwaukee Brewers scored seven runs in the first four innings in a 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night. Chourio's two-run shot in the fourth gave him six homers in his last seven games. One ...
OMAHA, Neb. — As impressive as Dawson Montesa was on the mound Tuesday for West Virginia, turns out it just may be the second-best part of his game. It pales in comparison, though, to what the Queens, N.Y. native can do in the outfield. “During (batting practice), he's catching balls behind his back and in between his legs,” explained WVU head coach Steve Sabins after the Mountaineers shut out Troy, 12-0, inside Charles Schwab Field. “He just loves to play.” He may just also love to shine when the pressure is on, too.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — In the four previous U.S. Opens in Shinnecock Hills, one quality stands out among the champions. Toughness. Raymond Floyd had a brilliant wedge game and was equally known for his glare when he got locked in, particularly that 1986 win at Shinnecock at age 43. Mark O'Meara described Floyd as the most intimidating player he face. "He plays every shot like it's the last shot of his life," O'Meara once said.
