MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jo Adell homered, Kenny Rosenberg outpitched Sonny Gray and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Twins 1-0 on Saturday, a day after Minnesota clinched the AL Central title.Rosenberg (2-2), a 28-year-old left-hander making his fourth big league start and ninth appearance, allowed five hits and two walks in five innings with five strikeouts. Carlos Estévez, the Angels’ fourth reliever, hit Kyle Farmer with a pitch starting the ninth, then got three straight outs for his 31st save in 35 chances.“Sometimes your best results aren’t necessarily your best execution or your best stuff,” Rosenberg said. “I felt like I was good. I didn’t feel like I had my best stuff, but navigated some runners on base in the first inning and then a couple really nice plays behind me defensively.”Gray (8-8) allowed a fourth-inning homer to Adell on a first-pitch sinker, just the eighth home run off Gray this season. He gave up four hits in six innings and struck out eight, lowering h...

TCU’s Sonny Dykes takes jabs at refs, SMU after beating former school again

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:22 GMT

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU coach Sonny Dykes had already ripped the officials with unsolicited comments when he was asked about the rivalry with his former school, SMU, being one step closer to a pause.“Hooray,” a smirking Dykes deadpanned without elaborating as another reporter started asking an unrelated question.Dykes led the Horned Frogs to the national championship game last season. TCU and SMU are not scheduled to play each other after 2025.Dykes had a bit of an edge after pushing his personal winning streak to four games in the “Iron Skillet” series matching the Dallas-Fort Worth rivals with TCU’s 34-17 victory at home Saturday. The first two were when he coached the Mustangs — both in Fort Worth, despite SMU having just one victory in the previous 11 meetings.The next was in Dykes’ return to Dallas last year, a 42-34 victory that Dykes said he was happy to have behind him.The Frogs pulled away after halftime Saturday in the 102nd meeting.TCU officials have said littl...

Jets place left tackle Duane Brown on injured reserve with a hip injury

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:22 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets placed left tackle Duane Brown on injured reserve Saturday, leaving quarterback Zach Wilson without his starting blindside blocker against the New England Patriots.The 38-year-old Brown was initially ruled out earlier Saturday just for the game Sunday by the Jets after the offensive lineman missed practice all week. Coach Robert Saleh was optimistic Friday that Brown would be able to play, but added Brown was having his ailing hip checked out by doctors.Those examinations apparently showed enough to warrant the Jets placing Brown on IR, which means he’ll miss at least the next four games. Brown sat out most of training camp while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and struggled in New York’s first two games. It’s uncertain who’ll replace Brown at left tackle, but both Saleh and offensive line coach Keith Carter seemed to rule out sliding right tackle Mekhi Becton — a natural left tackle — over to the left si...
