  Ryan Noda had an RBI single in the 10th inning as the  MLB-worst Oakland Athletics edged the Detroit Tigers 1-0 Tuesday night after  being no-hit into the seventh inning. Jace Peterson bunted pinch-runner Tyler  Wade to third to start the 10th. Tyler Horton (0-1) struck out Shea Langeliers  for the second out before Noda slapped a single to left — one of just two hits  for Oakland in the game — to break the scoreless struggle. Shintaro Fujinami  (5-7) got the win after striking out the side in the ninth. Trevor May pitched  a scoreless 10th for his sixth save.

Cubs 7, Brewers 6 – F/11 – Happ saves Cubs with 2 late  throws to plate in wild 7-6 win over Brewers in 11 

  Left fielder Ian Happ threw out two runners at the  plate in extra innings, and the Chicago Cubs pulled out a wild 7-6 win over the  Milwaukee Brewers in 11 innings after squandering a late lead for the second  consecutive game. Dansby Swanson homered and Miguel Amaya hit a two-run double  to help the Cubs build a 6-2 cushion. But the Brewers scored twice in the  eighth and twice more in the ninth to tie it. Happ cut down the potential  winning run at home in the bottom of the 10th, and Chicago went ahead in the  11th when Cody Bellinger scored on Nico Hoerner’s infield single. Happ then  threw out Owen Miller at the plate to end the game.

Blue Jays 4, White Sox 3 – Guerrero Jr. hits 2-run  homer in 8th inning to lift Blue Jays to 4-3 win over White Sox 

  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer in the  eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3.  Guerrero gave Toronto a 4-3 lead when he connected against Joe Kelly (1-4)  after Brandon Belt led off the eighth with a walk. The three-time All-Star went  the opposite way on a 2-1 pitch, driving it out to right for his 13th home run.  All-Star Whit Merrifield had two hits and two RBIs, and the Blue Jays got back  to winning coming off a three-game sweep by Boston. White Sox All-Star Luis  Robert Jr. made it 3-2 in the sixth with a long three-run drive against Chris  Bassitt for his 25th homer. But Chicago lost again after dropping two of three  at struggling Oakland.

MLB – Cubs manager Ross rips umpire and criticizes  decision to close roof in Milwaukee

  Infuriated about the plate umpire and the ballpark  roof, Chicago Cubs manager David Ross let loose after Tuesday’s wild  extra-inning win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs blew a late four-run lead  but rebounded to beat the Brewers 7-6 in 11 innings. Ross praised his team’s  resiliency, but many of his postgame comments focused on a series of  “frustrating” calls and events throughout the game. Ross was perturbed that  plate umpire Erich Bacchus prematurely called out Dansby Swanson when there  were only two strikes, and he felt a Brewers baserunner interfered with a throw  that allowed a run to score. Ross and first base coach Mike Napoli were both  ejected. Ross also questioned why the Brewers closed their retractable roof on  a mostly sunny afternoon.

MLB – Ohtani leaves Angels game with blister, says he  doesn’t plan to pitch in ASG

  Shohei Ohtani says he’s not planning to pitch in the  All-Star Game next week after leaving the Los Angeles Angels’ 8-5 loss to the  San Diego Padres with a blister on the middle finger of his right hand Tuesday.  The two-way superstar could still play a significant role if he remains the  starting designated hitter for the American League in Seattle. Ohtani exited on  the mound against the Padres after giving up consecutive home runs in the sixth  inning. The right-hander’s start had been pushed back a day due to a cracked  fingernail. His velocity was down, and he left trailing 5-1. His exit came  several hours after the Angels learned they’ll be without fellow All-Star  slugger Mike Trout for several weeks because of a broken left wrist.  Trout will need surgery to repair his injury.

Golf – LPGA – Column: US Women’s Open at Pebble  reminds veterans what they’re missing

  The U.S. Women’s Open is finally at Pebble Beach, the  most recognizable of all U.S. Open courses.

It’s one  thing to be at Pebble Beach. What figures to lift the profile is for the  Women’s Open to be going to Riviera and Oakland Hills, back to Oakmont and  Interlachen. Being at historical venues help winners become part of golf  history.
