TORONTO — After getting beat here the last two games, the Blue Jays simply out-bombed the Bombers Sunday. Toronto hammered four homers off the Yankees, rallied from a five-run deficit and pulled off a 10-9 win at the Rogers Centre. It snapped a nine-game winning streak for the Yankees (49-17) and the first time their…

The emotions washed over Jorge López in a wave of memories, details from a life with his grandfather by his side. The Orioles’ right-handed reliever had flown back to Puerto Rico to be there — because he had to be. His grandfather had been there for López, after all. Missing a few games meant nothing…

DENVER — Cale Makar barely broke a smile after scoring his second goal and Colorado’s seventh of the night. He fist-bumped Mikko Rantanen to thank him for the pass and skated to the bench. He and the Avalanche are calm, confident and rolling. They’re now two wins from dethroning the two-time defending champions. Looking like…

Byron Pringle knows he didn’t make the right type of headlines in his first couple of months as a Chicago Bears wide receiver. He was arrested in April in Florida for reckless driving and driving while his license was suspended after an officer suspected him of doing a donut on the road with a child…

The offense rebounded with a better showing during the second of three mandatory veteran minicamp practices Wednesday, with quarterback Justin Fields making some sharp throws and avoiding turnovers that plagued him the day before. Here are three things learned at Halas Hall. 1. Tight end Ryan Griffin envisions the Bears building a ‘cold-weather’ team. The…

The Orlando Magic, owners of the Nos. 1, 32 and 35 picks in the NBA draft, will have multiple chances to add to their roster on June 23. After kicking off a rebuild in March 2021, the Magic already have significant young talent. Orlando has nine players who were drafted in the first round since…

Chris Bassitt and Sandy Alcantara carried a pitcher’s duel into the late innings when the Mets were the first to break the ice. But an all-too-familiar bullpen meltdown handed the Mets a 6-2 loss against the Marlins on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. Alcantara had retired 10 consecutive batters when Starling Marte ripped a two-out…

SEATTLE — Noah Syndergaard is nearly half a season into life in a six-man rotation, and he said he has “no complaints.” “I like it,” the Angels right-hander said. “It gives you time to just be better in all regards, physically, mentally, on the mound. It gives you an opportunity to be as fresh as…

The Miami Dolphins have been submerged in mediocrity for the past two decades, no matter who was running the franchise (seven different executives and general managers), coaching the team (eight non-interim head coaches), or quarterbacking it (10 who have started 10 or more games) during that stretch. At some point we have to wonder what’s…

By DOUG FERGUSON BROOKLINE, Mass. — Eight players spent time atop the leaderboard, all of them getting kicked around — some worse than others — on a U.S. Open course that felt every bit like the toughest test in golf on a cool, windy afternoon at The Country Club. Saturday was a classic U.S. Open,…
