SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers lead the Stanley Cup Final 2-1 after routing the Edmonton Oilers 6-1 in Game 3. Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett scored again, Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe each got their first goal of the series. The defending champion Panthers got balanced production and steady goaltending, chased Edmonton's Stuart Skinner and made their opponent come unglued between and after whistles. Game 4 is Thursday night at Florida.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke made yet another spectacular catch for the Athletics, this time reaching high above the wall to rob the Los Angeles Angels’ Nolan Schanuel of a home run. The Angels had one out and no one on in the bottom of the first when Schanuel launched a 1-0 splitter from Grant Holman toward left-center. Clarke raced back and planted his right foot about halfway up the wall in a perfectly timed leap and grabbed the top for support. He extended the upper half of his body several feet beyond the wall and made a backhand grab. Clarke has made several terrific catches since he debuted on May 23.
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox called up top prospect Roman Anthony two days after the 21-year-old outfielder hit a 497-foot grand slam for Triple-A Worcester. A second-round pick in the 2022 amateur draft, Anthony batted .288 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 58 games in Triple-A this season. He was 0-for-4 on Monday night in his major league debut with a walk and an RBI groundout. He also committed an error in right field.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Andy Pages led off the 10th inning with an RBI double before scoring on Tommy Edman’s single, and the Los Angeles Dodgers hung on to open their season series against the San Diego Padres with an 8-7 victory. Will Smith homered and drove in three runs in the first of seven meetings in 11 days between the Southern California rivals. Jackson Merrill slugged a one-out RBI double in the 10th for San Diego, but Tanner Scott finished for his 12th save. Tyler Wade had a three-run triple for the Padres, who have lost four of six.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Otto Kemp went undrafted out of Point Loma Nazarene University in California. He signed a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022 and improbably made the major leagues just three years later. Kemp finished a sparkling 3 for 5 with an error, his first career hit and run scored in a 4-3 win in extra innings over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Kemp had one of two bunt singles for the Phillies in the 11th inning that set-up Brandon Marsh's walk-off single. Kemp started at third base but could play other positions if he sticks around
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Xander Schauffele concedes to being a sick person because he loves the U.S. Open. It's called the toughest test in golf and Oakmont is reputed to be the toughest course in the land. Schauffele says he looks forward to the challenge at Oakmont. He's yet to win the U.S. Open but he has finished in the top 10 in all but one of his eight appearances. Oakmont figures to give everyone fits this week because of its dense rough and super slick greens. Justin Thomas says having a good attitude to him means concentrating over every single shot.
The takeaways from Carlos Alcaraz’s fifth-set tiebreaker victory over Jannik Sinner in the French Open men’s final are multiple and significant. Let’s start with this: Anyone worried about how men’s tennis would survive in the post-Big Three era can rest easy. Alcaraz and Sinner produced 5 1/2 hours of evidence Sunday that the game is in good hands — and that their rivalry will be, and perhaps already is, a transcendent one. They have combined to win the past six Grand Slam titles and eight of the last 11. Now they'll head to Wimbledon, where play begins June 30.
