Toro, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, had two  hits. Eugenio Suarez also hit a two-run homer for the Mariners. Seattle starter  Marco Gonzales (10-12) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. Paul  Sewald worked around two walks in the ninth to get his 17th save.

Lynn (4-5), who was reinstated from the bereavement list before the game,  didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight for the fifth time this season. The  Royals had scored 24 runs in their previous two games. Chicago (64-66) won for  the first time under bench coach Miguel Cairo, who served his second game as  acting manager while Tony La Russa is on indefinite leave for an unspecified  health issue. The Royals (53-78) lost for the third time in five games.

Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run homer and  Cavan Biggio connected for a two-run shot for the Blue Jays, who are in  position for an AL wild card but had their first losing month, going 13-14 in  August.

MLB  – Exhibition games start Feb 24 as MLB hopes for normal spring

  Major  League Baseball’s exhibition season will start Feb. 24 with a pair of games in  Arizona. All 30 teams are scheduled to play Feb. 25 as games start in Florida.  Spring training was cut short in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and  workouts were restricted the following year due to coronavirus protocols and  stadium capacity was limited. Spring training workouts in 2022 were to have  started on Feb. 16 but were delayed until March 11 by a lockout.

MLB  – WSox manager La Russa out indefinitely with health issue

  Chicago  White Sox manager Tony La Russa is out indefinitely because of an unspecified  health issue. The 77-year-old La Russa missed Tuesday night’s 9-7 loss to  Kansas City on the recommendation of his doctors. The team says the Hall of  Famer is scheduled to undergo additional testing in Arizona with his personal  physicians “over the coming days.” Bench coach Miguel Cairo will continue to  serve as acting manager while La Russa is out.

The Sky responded by hitting six of 10 shots to open the game, and  finished the night 32 of 63 (50.8%).

NCAAFB  – College Football – Week 1
Tonight

  Central  Michigan at (12) Oklahoma State, 7:00 p.m.

NCAAFB  – No. 12 Oklahoma State opens with Central Michigan

  Oklahoma  State reached the Big 12 championship game last season and beat Notre Dame in  the Fiesta Bowl. The 12th-ranked Cowboys believe they can accomplish at least  that much this season with veteran quarterback Spencer Sanders leading the way.  Oklahoma State opens with Central Michigan on Thursday night. The Cowboys can’t  afford to slip early, and they remember an upset loss to the Chippewas in 2016  that provided an unexpected blemish on a 10-3 season. Central Michigan returns  last year’s national rushing leader, Lew Nichols III, from a team that went 9-4  and won the Sun Bowl.

NCAAFB  – AP sources: Presidents meeting to discuss CFP expansion

  The  university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff are scheduled to  meet Friday to discuss expanding the four-team format. The presidents hope to  accelerate a process that bogged down last year and re-open the possibility  that a new model for crowning champion could be implemented as soon as the 2024  season. Two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the  CFP’s Board of Managers, led by Mississippi State President Mark Keenum, is set  to convene by video conference. All the people spoke to the AP on condition of  anonymity because the board’s plans were not being made public.

NCAAFB  – No. 5 Notre Dame faces defensive test against No. 2 Buckeyes

  No. 5  Notre Dame relishes the Saturday night challenge. It opens the season at No. 2  Ohio State against an offense that led the FBS in total offense and scoring  last season and is only expected to get better in C.J. Stroud’s second season  as starting quarterback. And if Notre Dame is going to defeat Ohio State for  the first time since 1936, first-year coach Marcus Freeman knows what he needs  — the defense to come up big against his alma mater.

NCAAFB  – Born a Buckeye: Ohio State prepared Freeman for Notre Dame

  Marcus  Freeman was born and raised a Buckeye. He played at Ohio State, too, and worked  there. Freeman says he wouldn’t be the head coach at Notre Dame at the age of  36 without the time he spent in Columbus, Ohio. Freeman is taking a trip home:  The season opener for his fifth-ranked Fighting Irish is Saturday night at No.  2 Ohio State. Freeman’s peers say he’s ready for the challenges that come with  being the head coach of Notre Dame.

NCAA  approves transfer windows and enforcement reforms

  The  NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved changes to transfer rules and  several proposals aimed at enforcement reforms. The proposed changes came from  the Transformation Committee as part of the first phase of that group’s work.  The changes to transfer rules will go into effect immediately. Sport-specific  windows will be set during an academic year when athletes would be required to  enter their names in the transfer portal to be eligible immediately to compete  the following school year. On the enforcement side, the Independent  Accountability Resolution Process will be eliminated. The NCAA’s outside  enforcement task force to handle complex infractions cases has mostly slowed  down the processing of cases.

Tennis  – US Open – Serena beats No. 2 seed Kontaveit at US Open to reach 3rd Rd

  Serena  Williams has eliminated No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 in the  U.S. Open’s second round to ensure that the 23-time Grand Slam champion will  play at least one more singles match. The 40-year-old Williams has hinted this  will be the last tournament of her illustrious career. Williams missed about a  year of action before returning to the tour in late June at Wimbledon. She lost  in the first round there and was 1-3 in 2022 entering the U.S. Open, where she  is 2-0 so far this week. She beat Danka Kovinic in the first round before  following that up against Kontaveit on Wednesday night in front of a full house  at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Tennis  – US Open – Tiger Woods shows up to support Serena Williams at US Open

  Serena  Williams credits Tiger Woods with offering advice before she made her recent  comeback from a year-long injury absence. Woods sat courtside at the U.S. Open  on Wednesday night, throwing uppercuts in the stands to cheer Williams on to  victory. Williams says Woods is "one of the reasons I’m here.” Woods was  in Williams’ guest box at sold-out Arthur Ashe Stadium, two seats over from her  sister, Venus. 

NFL  – Bears claim OL Alex Leatherwood off waivers from Las Vegas

  The  Chicago Bears have claimed offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood off waivers a day  after the 2021 first-round draft pick was let go by the Las Vegas Raiders.  Leatherwood was the No. 17 overall pick last year. The Alabama product  struggled at right tackle before being moved to guard after four games. He had  difficulties inside, too, and dropped on the depth chart this summer before Las  Vegas let him go.

NFL  – Bears’ Smith says he’s focused on season, not contract talks

  Chicago  Bears star linebacker Roquan Smith insists his focus is on the upcoming season  and not his long-term future after a contract standoff with the team ended with  no new deal. Smith says there won’t be any more negotiations with new general  manager Ryan Poles on an extension between now and the start of the season. He  also says he’s not focusing on whether he will re-sign with Chicago after the  season. Smith hoped to strike a new deal, with the contract he signed after the  Bears drafted him with the No. 8 overall pick in 2018 set to expire following  this season.

NFL  – Lawyers bash Goodell-led arbitration in NFL racial bias suit

  Lawyers  for three Black NFL coaches alleging racial bias by the league took aim  directly at Commissioner Roger Goodell in their latest arguments against  arbitrating a dispute they say belongs before a jury. In papers filed Wednesday  in Manhattan federal court, the lawyers wrote that arbitration, which would be  led by Goodell, would allow “unconscionably biased one-sided ‘kangaroo  courts’" to decide the outcome of the lawsuit filed in February. They say  Goodell could not be fair in overseeing and ruling on the dispute as to whether  the league engages in systemic discrimination. They cited the hundreds of  millions of dollars he earns from teams and his public statement that the suit  is without merit.

NFL  – Gruden ‘ashamed’ about emails that cost him his job

  Former  Raiders coach Jon Gruden says he is “ashamed” about his old offensive emails  that cost him his job and hopes to get another chance in football. Gruden spoke  publicly about the affair at the Little Rock Touchdown Club for the first time  since he resigned as coach of the Raiders last October. The resignation  followed the publication by The New York Times and Wall Street Journal of  emails he had sent from 2011 to 2018 that contained racist, homophobic and  misogynistic comments.
