Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:33:00 GMT

ARLINGTON — Aaron Judge left early from Thursday’s game with right hip discomfort, casting a shadow over an otherwise tidy 4-2 win by the Yankees against the Texas Rangers.Judge struck out twice before being replaced in right field by Oswaldo Cabrera. The Yankees captain’s exit came a day after he rolled up on his right hand during an awkward slide against the Minnesota Twins but managed to remain in that game.The injury put a damper on Judge’s first game at Globe Life Field in Arlington since he slugged his 62nd home run of the 2022 season there on Oct. 4 to set a new American League record.The Yankees didn’t need any offense from Judge to topple Texas, with ace Gerrit Cole continuing his torrid start to the season with another strong outing. He allowed two runs across 6.2 innings, punching out eight in his first start in Arlington since setting the Yankees single-season strikeout record of 257 there during the same game as Judge’s historic homer...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:33:00 GMT

The Jets were rumored to select an offensive tackle during the first round of Thursday’s NFL Draft.But once all of the top tackles were off the board at No. 15, they pivoted to the defensive side of the ball.Gang Green surprised some by choosing Iowa State defensive end Will McDonald IV to add to their unit that finished fourth in the NFL in points and yards allowed last year.Last season for the Cyclones, McDonald was a first-team All-Big 12 selection after he finished with 36 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in 12 games. During the 2021 season, McDonald recorded 36 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks.He ended his career at Iowa State with 125 tackles, 40.5 tackles for loss and 34 sacks.Although it was a surprise that the Jets selected McDonald at No. 15, he has all the tools to be an effective pass rusher at the next level. He has excellent explosiveness off the line of scrimmage and his high motor and pass-rushing skills make it difficult for offensive ta...

Orioles’ Joey Ortiz helps fuel 7-4 comeback win over Tigers with 3 RBIs in MLB debut

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:33:00 GMT

The 2023 Orioles have shown a knack for early success. They continued it Thursday by coming through late.Baltimore rallied with five runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Detroit Tigers, 7-4, to open a four-game series and 10-game road trip. The victory improved the Orioles to 9-0 in series openers, and at 17-8, they have the most wins before the end of April of any team in franchise history.These Orioles are the seventh iteration to win at least 17 of their first 25 games, with the club’s 1966 and 1970 World Series champions among the previous six.It appeared for much of Thursday’s contest they would not join those ranks. Kyle Gibson provided the shortest of his six starts as an Oriole, giving up three runs in 4 1/3 innings. After Baltimore got two runs back when Joey Ortiz — the organization’s No. 7 prospect promoted before Thursday’s game — hit a two-run single for his first major league knock in the fifth, the Tigers (9-15) doubled the marg...
