Astros 5, Tigers 0 – Grand slam by Diaz vs. Tigers  helps Astros to 7-0 homestand

  Aledmys Díaz hit a grand slam, Jake Odorizzi threw  five innings of one-hit ball and the Houston Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0  for a four-game sweep and their seventh straight win. Díaz’s second home run of  the season came in the third inning on a 92 mph fastball from Tigers reliever  Drew Hutchison. It went 347 feet to left-center field, scoring José Altuve,  Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez for a 4-0 lead. Houston finished a red-hot  homestand against Seattle and Detroit 7-0. When the homestand began, they were  11-11.

White Sox 3, Red Sox 2 – Abreu gets 2-run double;  White Sox complete sweep over BoSox

  Dallas Keuchel halted his three-start losing streak  with six solid innings, José Abreu hit a two-run double and the Chicago White  Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 for their season-high sixth straight victory.  Leury García added an RBI single for the White Sox, who moved over .500 for the  first time since April 20 and completed a 5-0 road trip, including three wins  at Fenway Park. Christian Vázquez had an RBI single for Boston, which has lost  a season-most five straight and 14 of 18.

Dodgers 7, Cubs 1 – Buehler stars in 100th career  start as Dodgers sweep Cubs

  Walker Buehler pitched seven sparkling innings in his  100th career start, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the sliding Chicago Cubs  7-1 for their sixth consecutive victory. Buehler improved to 3-0 with a 0.43  ERA over his last three outings. The right-hander allowed one run and four  hits, struck out six and walked two. Cody Bellinger had three hits for Los  Angeles, and Justin Turner and Freddie Freeman each contributed a sacrifice  fly. Chicago lost for the 14th time in 17 games. It managed just three runs and  15 hits in the three-game sweep by Los Angeles.

MLB  – Cubs scratch RHP Marcus Stroman, put him on IL

  The  Chicago Cubs scratched Marcus Stroman for their game against the Los Angeles  Dodgers, and then lost starter Justin Steele to a left hand injury. Stroman was  placed on the injured list without a designation, likely meaning the  right-hander was shelved by a COVID-19-related issue. Steele stepped in, making  his first appearance since April 30. But he was checked on by manager David  Ross and a trainer before the fifth inning, and then walked off the mound after  a short conversation.

MLB  – White Sox eager for Moncada

  The  scraped-up White Sox hope third baseman Yoán Moncada can make his season debut  when Chicago opens a three-game home series against Cleveland. The 26-year-old  Moncada has been out since the last week of spring training with a strained  right oblique, one of several key players sidelined for the South Siders this  season. The White Sox have won six straight to climb back over .500 for the  first time since April 20 despite still missing sluggers Eloy Jiménez and  Andrew Vaughn and starter Lance Lynn. Right-hander Michael Kopech will start  the opener Monday night against the Guardians’ Zach Plesac.

NASCAR – Logano bumps Byron on next-to-last lap for  Darlington win

  Joey Logano bumped leader William Byron from behind  and into the wall on the next to last lap to win at Darlington Raceway on  Sunday. Logano tracked Byron for about 25 laps until running up to his rear  bumper, smacking it hard and sending Byron into the wall. Logano went on to his  first win of the season and his first ever at the track “Too Tough To Tame.”  The victory ended a 40-race winless drought for Logano, who last won on the  dirt at Bristol in 2021. Byron fell to 13th and called Logano “an idiot.”

Formula 1 – Verstappen wins inaugural F1 race in Miami

  Max Verstappen used an aggressive early pass on  Formula One championship leader Charles Leclerc then controlled the inaugural  Miami Grand Prix for his third victory of the season.  The reigning world champion started third,  but Red Bull quickly got the best of Ferrari for a second consecutive race.  Ferrari settled for second and third for  Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.

Golf – PGA – Homa rallies for fourth career PGA win

  Max Homa now has four career PGA wins, with half of  those coming in the Wells Fargo Championship.   Homa turned a two-stroke deficit into a two-shot win over Keegan Bradley  near Washington, D.C. It comes three years after he won the Wells Fargo title  at Quail Hollow. The tournament was moved to Maryland this year while Quail  Hollow prepares to host the Presidents Cup in September.  A two-shot swing on the 15th hole gave Homa a  three-shot lead. He closed with a 2-under 68 for an 8-under total in his second  win of the season.

Golf – Champions – Flesch wins at Sugarloaf again

  Steve Flesch rallied from four shots behind with a  7-under 65 for a one-shot victory in the Mitsubishi Electric Classic, his  second title at the TPC Sugarloaf.  Flesch  also won this tournament in 2018, his only other win on the PGA Tour Champions.  David Toms had a two-shot lead on the back  nine when he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 13th and then a 6-footer for  par on the 14th.

Horse Racing – Rich Strike’s team considering  Preakness options after upset

  The celebration after Rich Strike’s stunning Kentucky  Derby upset continued long into the night. The 80-1 longshot has the sports  world buzzing. Next up is for Rich Strike’s trainer Eric Reed and the rest of  his chestnut colt’s team to decide whether the storybook journey continues at  the 147th Preakness on May 21 in Baltimore. Similar decisions also loom for the  favorites whom Rich Strike surged past for the improbable win at Churchill  Downs.
