Guardians jump on Angels at the start

CLEVELAND (AP) — Angel Martinez's leadoff homer got Cleveland started and rookie Parker Messick had another strong outing as the Guardians beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Wednesday to finish a three-game series sweep. Martinez homered off Reid Detmers (1-4) and the Guardians improved to 30-4 against the Angels at Progressive Field since 2015. Cleveland's home record over Los Angeles in that 11-year span is the best by any major league team. Messick (5-1) allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander settled in after walking two in the first two innings. Eric ...

Rockies make it a memorable night

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mickey Moniak doubled, tripled, and homered on his 28th birthday, Jake McCarthy had the first unassisted double play by a left fielder in the majors since 2013, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-4 on Wednesday night. The Rockies ended a three-game losing streak and snapped a five-game skid against the Pirates dating to last Aug. 3.

Guards sweep

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Angels have had a devilish time playing in Cleveland. With a 4-2 loss to the Guardians on Wednesday, Los Angeles was not only swept in the three-game series but dropped to 4-30 at Progressive Field since 2015. Cleveland’s stunning home record — and .882 winning percentage — against the Angels over the 11-year span is the best by any major league team against any opponent. Beyond that, the Guardians have hosted the Angels for 40 consecutive games without losing two in a row, the longest such streak in the expansion era (1961) for Cleveland. The Guardians ...

LeBron has many options, including retirement

LeBron James has options. He could stay with the Los Angeles Lakers. He could decide to join another team. He could even retire and end the longest career in NBA history. He knows all this. He just doesn't know the answer. "I don't know what the future holds for me, obviously," James said. His 23rd season ended Monday night when the Lakers were eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder. At 41, James likely doesn't have many years left to play — if any. And now he'll start the process of figuring out what he wants to do, what his family wants him to do and what's best for all parties ...
