A throw from Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez led Arias into the base path, with the ball and Lewis arriving at about the same time.Lewis catapulted into the air after bouncing off of Arias’ back and landed face first in the dirt. His momentum caused his legs to flip over his head, leaving his neck in a vulnerable position as his body bounced off the field.Lewis, who served as the Twins’ DH in the game, stayed down for a while as he was attended to by members of the team’s medical staff. He was able to walk off the field.Sporting a lengthy scrape and a bump on his forehead after the game, Lewis said he had some pain ...

DeSclafani loses it in third inning, SF Giants lose series to Orioles

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:37:33 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants were riding high a week ago on their flight home from Milwaukee. But they failed to capitalize on that momentum over a six-game home stand that culminated Sunday with their second loss in three games to the Baltimore Orioles.Whatever chances the Giants had at salvaging one series win this home stand were sapped in the third inning, as Anthony DeSclafani lost the ability to locate, Baltimore brought 12 batters to the plate, and the Orioles scored six runs, knocking San Francisco’s starter from the game and taking a commanding early lead.With an 8-3 loss, the Giants (29-30) dropped two of three to the Orioles, lost both series of their six-game home stand and fell one game under .500.DeSclafani had completed at least five innings and hadn’t issued more than two walks in all of his first 11 starts this season, but both streaks were snapped Sunday. Only Juan Marichal (23, 1968) and Madison Bumgarner (17, 2017) had reeled off more consecutive starts...

Twins get good news on Royce Lewis after scary somersault, face-first landing

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:37:33 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Royce Lewis had a noticeable scrape on his forehead after providing a scare for the Minnesota Twins with an inadvertent somersault followed by a face-first landing.He still managed a smile on his face afterward, apparently unscathed. But he said he felt like he “ran into a car backward.”Lewis, who returned a week ago from his second ACL repair in his right knee, tried to tie the game by beating out a grounder to deep third in the eighth against Cleveland on Sunday. He was thrown out to end the inning, but with first baseman Gabriel Arias in his path he pulled up in an attempt to avoid a collision at the base. “He just gets in your way last second. I really had nowhere to go,” Lewis said.Instead, Lewis went sailing over Arias and hit the dirt head-first, bending his neck awkwardly upon impact. After an examination by the Twins and a slow climb to his feet, Lewis walked off on his own power. The Twins lost to the Guardians 2-1, but they dodged a more dam...

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Viktor Hovland handled the toughest stretch at Muirfield Village and delivered three clutch putts at the end to win the Memorial in a playoff over hard-luck Denny McCarthy on Sunday.Hovland closed with a 2-under 70 on another brutal test on a course baked all week by sun, forcing the playoff with a 30-foot birdie on the 17th — the only one on that hole in the final round — and saving par from behind the 18th green.Back to the 18th in the playoff, Hovland barely got onto the front of the green, some 60 feet away from the back pin, and two-putted by holing a 7-foot par putt.It was his fourth PGA Tour victory and first on American soil, this one with a $3.6 million winner’s check and a handshake from host Jack Nicklaus. The Norwegian’s previous wins were in Mexico twice and Puerto Rico.It was a crushing loss for McCarthy, one of the purest putters on the PGA Tour. He showed his touch by saving crucial pars and playing bogey-free on a day when the average...
