Cronenworth’s 2 HRs, 6 RBIs lead Padres past Brewers 10-3

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:16:38 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Cronenworth had his first career multi-homer game with two two-run shots and drove in a career-high six runs as the San Diego Padres beat the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.In a scary moment in the eighth, Brewers reliever Gus Varland was hit on the jaw by a 105.1 mph line drive by Manny Machado and came out of the game. The impact knocked Varland to the ground and he woozily stood up and dropped his glove as two teammates and a trainer rushed to his side. He went down on his knees as he was tended to and then walked off the field with two trainers.Cronenworth, who signed an $80 million, seven-year contract two weeks earlier, hit a tiebreaking shot off the top of the right field wall with two outs in the fifth inning off Freddy Peralta (2-1) and then connected to center field with one out in the seventh off Hoby Milner. He has three homers this year. Cronenworth and Nelson Cruz drew consecutive bases-loaded...

Golden Knights’ Jack Eichel ends personal playoff drought

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:16:38 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Until now, Jack Eichel has only watched the NHL playoffs, which has given him some idea of the intensity that comes once the 16-team tournament begins.But the eight-year veteran who has played in 476 regular-season games won’t really know what it will feel like until he skates onto the T-Mobile Arena ice Tuesday night.That’s when the Vegas Golden Knights, who own the home ice advantage in the Western Conference playoffs, open their seven-game, first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets.“He’s waited a long time for this,” Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said.Eichel played his first six seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, who drafted him second overall in 2015. He scored at least 24 goals in each of his first five seasons, signed an eight-year, $80 million contract in October 2017 and, exactly a year later, was named team captain.But Eichel’s time in Buffalo ended on a sour note after he and the club disagreed on how to treat his neck injury.

Josh Hart’s clutch play saves Knicks in Game 1 win over Donovan Mitchell, Cavs

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:16:38 GMT

CLEVELAND — Josh Hart came to the rescue.With his team collapsing in the fourth quarter — falling to the might of Donovan Mitchell — Hart, a player certainly not known for his offense, found himself with the ball and the shot clock dwindling.Hart had no choice. He needed to make a play for himself. So he took a step back with his dribble and buried a 3-pointer, highlighting a heroic performance from the Game 1 thriller for the Knicks in their 101-97 win over the Cavs.Hart’s bucket changed the momentum with 1:46 remaining, with the Cavs taking the lead on the previous possession for the first time since the opening quarter. But the Knicks still needed to close out the victory. They accomplished that through their bread-and-butter — offensive rebounding — with Julius Randle and Isaiah Hartenstein picking up huge extra possessions in the final minute.Despite Mitchell’s 38 points, Round 1 went to the Knicks.It was the first NBA playoff game in C...

Rafael Devers, Yu Chang, Kenley Jansen power in Red Sox bizarre comeback win

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:16:38 GMT

“Today is a reminder that we are all Boston Strong. This is the time of year for hope. This is the time of year for Boston.”These sentiments were part of a moving pre-game ceremony centered on the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing and Major League Baseball’s annual Jackie Robinson Day.It just hasn’t been a very hopeful time for this Red Sox pitching staff.Boston’s starting rotation has allowed more home runs than any other team’s, and they’re the only team in the majors without at least one start longer than five innings.But buoyed by a sold-out Fenway, an unusual amount of catcher’s interference, and some clutch hits, the Red Sox took Game 2 of the series, 9-7, coming from behind twice before Kenley Jansen slammed the door. It was Jansen’s second save of the series, allowing him to tie Craig Kimbrel for seventh in MLB history.Taking the mound for the second contest of this seven-game homestand, Nick Pivetta only lasted four in...
