Angels 10, Tigers 0 – Ohtani, Trout power Angels to  10-0 win over Tigers 

  Shohei Ohtani had his sixth multi-homer game of the  season, Mike Trout also went deep and José Suarez threw three-hit ball over  seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels routed the skidding Detroit Tigers  10-0. Luis Rengifo had a career-high four hits and drove in a run for the  Angels, who had their second-biggest offensive performance of the season with  16 hits. It is the seventh time this season Ohtani and Trout have homered in  the same game. Trout’s solo shot to left field in the fifth off Tyler Alexander  was his 30th homer of the season, marking the seventh time in his 12-year  career he has reached that plateau.

White Sox 3, Mariners 2 – Lynn dominates as White Sox  snap M’s streak with 3-2 win 

  Lance Lynn mowed through Seattle striking out a season-high  11, Elvis Andrus hit a two-run home run, and the Chicago White Sox snapped the  Mariners’ seven-game win streak with a 3-2 win. Lynn retired the final 17  batters he faced in a dominant outing against a Seattle lineup that looked  sleepy following a long Sunday in Cleveland and an early-morning arrival back  in the Pacific Northwest. Lynn didn’t allow a base runner after Abraham Toro’s  bloop RBI single in the second inning that right fielder Andrew Vaughn appeared  to lose briefly in the sun. The 11 strikeouts were one off his career high.  Seattle starter Marco Gonzales threw seven strong innings but allowed two home  runs.

NCAAFB  – No. 15 Michigan State loses Snow for season, Henderson indefinitely

  Michigan  State linebacker Darius Snow is out for the season and safety Xavier Henderson  will be sidelined indefinitely after both were injured when the 15th-ranked  Spartans beat Western Michigan in their season opener. Coach Mel Tucker made  the announcements on Monday. Snow and Henderson had their right legs wrapped  with protective braces Saturday night when Michigan State beat the Broncos  35-13. Snow and Henderson were two of the team’s top players on defense and  losing them will hurt its chances of improving what the worst FBS team against  the pass last season. The Spartans host Akron on Saturday.

NCAAFB  – Harbaugh hopes players get a revenue share from 12-team CFP

  Michigan  coach Jim Harbaugh hopes players get a cut of the revenue generated by an  expanded College Football Playoff. The plan to expand the CFP from four teams  was approved Friday, and the new-look tournament will begin as soon as 2024 and  as late as 2026. The 11 university leaders who make up CFP’s Board of Managers  approved the original 12-team proposal in a unanimous vote that was necessary  to pursue early expansion. Six of the highest-ranked conference champions and  six at-large, selection-committee selections will earn a spot in the new  playoff format.

Tennis  – US Open – Tiafoe ends Nadal’s 22-match Slam streak in US Open 4th Rd

  Frances  Tiafoe has ended Rafael Nadal’s 22-match winning streak at Grand Slam  tournaments by beating the 22-time major champion 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the  U.S. Open’s fourth round. Tiafoe is a 24-year-old from Maryland who is seeded  22nd at Flushing Meadows and reached the second major quarterfinal of his  career. He is the youngest American man to get that far at the U.S. Open since  Andy Roddick in 2006. This surprise came a day after Nick Kyrgios eliminated  No. 1 seed and defending champion Daniil Medvedev. That makes this the first  U.S. Open without either of the top two seeded men reaching the quarterfinals  since 2000.

Tennis  – US Open – No. 3 Alcaraz beats Cilic in 5-set match | US Open updates

  It’s  going to be a U.S. Open quarterfinals matchup of two rising stars when  third-seeded Carlos Alcaraz plays No. 11-seed Jannik Sinner. The 19-year-old  Alcaraz was the last to advance in one of the longest nights ever at the Open  with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic at  Arthur Ashe Stadium. Alcaraz dropped to his knees when he won the grueling  match that lasted nearly four hours and ended around 2:25 a.m. Alcaraz was  already the youngest man to reach the fourth round in consecutive U.S. Open  since Pete Sampras in 1989 and ’90.

NFL  – Bears’ Eberflus appreciates moment with opener at hand

  Matt  Eberflus can appreciate the moment. He’s a first-time head coach trying to turn  around a founding NFL franchise, and the next big step comes this week when the  Chicago Bears host the San Francisco 49ers in the season opener. Eberflus says  it’s “always special when you do something for the first time” and is “part of  your story that you’re writing.” The Bears hired general manager Ryan Poles and  Eberflus to replace the fired Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy after going 6-11 and  missing the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years.

NFL  – NFL returning to London for international combine in October

  The  NFL is holding an international combine in London for the second consecutive  year. Forty-four athletes will be selected to participate in the combine in  front of NFL evaluators at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 3-4. Instead of  team scouts, the NFL that evaluates the players and selects a handful to train  in the United States for three months, after which final choices are made to allocate  players to NFL teams for the 2023 season. And then, they still need to win a  spot on the team roster. It will be the fourth international combine after one  in Australia in 2018, another in Germany in 2019 and London last year.

NASCAR  – NASCAR’s wild regular season rolls over into playoffs

  If  NASCAR’s playoff opener at Darlington Raceway was any indication, the  postseason is going to be a wild one. Erik Jones became the first non-playoff  driver to win NASCAR’s opening playoff race. Several top seeds expected to  compete like Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch were out  of contention at the end. Elliott was the top playoff seed and hit the wall  early. Harvick’s car caught fire and he went from ninth in points to 16th on  the brink of elimination. Defending series champ Larson was several laps down  before finishing 12th.
