The Tigers and their league-worst  offense scored five or more runs in consecutive games for the first time this  season. Detroit had lost six straight before winning 14-7 Saturday.

  Colorado Avalanche at Tampa Bay Lightning, 8:00 p.m.       (COL Leads 2-0)

NHL  – Lightning may be running out of gas vs fresher Avalanche

  It’s  no secret Tampa Bay has played more hockey over the past two years than any  other team in the NHL. That may finally be taking a toll on the two-time  defending champs against the Colorado Avalanche, who took a much shorter route  to the Stanley Cup Final. The Avalanche now lead the best-of-seven series 2-0  going into Game 3 Monday at Tampa Bay. The Lightning have played 67 postseason games  since Aug. 1, 2020. That is the most by one team over the span of three  playoffs. Players and coach Jon Cooper refuse to use that as an excuse.

Golf  – US Open – Fitzpatrick a winner again at Brookline as US Open champion

  Matt  Fitzpatrick is a champion again at The Country Club. And this time he has one  of the grandest trophies in golf. Fitzpatrick delivered all the clutch shots on  the back nine at Brookline in a terrific battle with Will Zalatoris and Scottie  Scheffler ahead of him. He seized control with a two-shot swing on the 15th and  closed it out with a shot onto the green from a fairway bunker. Fitzpatrick won  the U.S. Amateur at Brookline in 2013. He joins Jack Nicklaus as the only men  to win a U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open on the same course.
