Confidence grows for American

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — U.S. captain Tim Ream says his teammates all recognize the golden opportunity in front of them to make their nation's best World Cup run in their home tournament over the following days — and hopefully weeks. Yet instead of feeling amplified pressure under the raised expectations created by their strong group round and a groundswell of national support, these Americans appeared to be energized by the opportunity to make history as they broke camp Monday at their training base in Orange County. "Would it be weird if I told you I don't really feel too much ...

Slow start at Wimbledon

LONDON (AP) — This Wimbledon couldn't have started much worse for the home team. After Emma Raducanu withdrew on the eve of the Grand Slam tournament with a stress fracture, Jack Draper followed suit on Monday by pulling out because of long-term arm injury. That left the grass-court tournament without the two biggest names in British tennis. And the lesser names soon tumbled out, one by one. All 10 British players who completed their first-round matches on Monday lost. An 11th, Jack Pinnington Jones, was two sets down and trailing 4-3 in the third against American Brandon ...

Cauley beats Guardians in debut

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cameron Cauley tripled in the seventh inning for his first hit in his major league debut before scoring the go-ahead run on a single by Nicky Lopez to help the Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 6-3 on Monday night for their fifth straight victory. Justin Foscue followed with a two-out double that scored Lopez from first to make it 4-2. That chased Guardians rookie Parker Messick (7-5), who allowed four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. Foscue's two-out double in the ninth off Erik Sabrowski accounted for the final two runs, the second one scoring when ...

SVG is MVP of the road

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Shane van Gisbergen continued his remarkable run on the twistiest tracks in NASCAR, but this was no easy Sunday drive. The Trackhouse Racing driver became the winningest active Cup Series driver on road and street courses with his second consecutive victory at Sonoma Raceway. Though he led 74 of the final 83 laps after starting sixth on the 1.99-mile road course north of San Francisco, van Gisbergen had to fend off a charge by runner-up Chase Briscoe with a No. 97 Chevrolet that hadn't been entirely to his liking since practice a day earlier. "We were really ...

Pirates overpower Reds

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ryan O'Hearn homered twice in a game for the third time in the majors and drove in four runs to help the Pittsburgh Pirates avoid a series sweep with a 9-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. O'Hearn put Pittsburgh in front 5-4 in the fifth inning with a 421-foot drive to right off Brady Singer (3-7). After 65-minute rain delay with one out in the bottom of the eighth, Pierce Johnson walked Bryan Reynolds and Nick Gonzales before O'Hearn hit a three-run shot to make it 8-4. Esmerlyn Valdéz followed O'Hearn by homering for a third straight game. Mitch Keller ...
