Mookie Betts added a pair of hits and two RBIs.Miller (3-0) allowed three hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked three, lowering his ERA to 0.78.“It’s definitely a little bit of a confidence builder,” Miller said. “That’s a really good lineup, so I really had to lock in and focus in on getting all my pitches today.”The 24-year-old right-hander joined Kenta Maeda in 2016 as the only Dodgers pitchers since at least 1901 to pitch five or more innings and allowed one run or none in his first four appearances.“His slider’s come a long way; he’s made a couple adjustments since he got here, and it’s been great,” Dodgers ...

Back-to-back birdies to close out the third round put C.T. Pan two strokes up on the field at the RBC Canadian Open, but that lead is far from safe with a pack of big names – and two Canadians – in the hunt.Pan, from Taiwan, shot a 6-under 66 to sit at 14-under overall on Saturday at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in the northwest corner of Toronto. Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy was in a six-way tie for second as he looks for a third consecutive title at the men’s national golf championship.“You still have to play aggressive, because this course is a lot of rough, but if you hit it in the fairway you will have a lot of short irons in and you’re going to create a lot of birdie opportunities,” said Pan, adding that he won’t change too much as he tries to fend off the group tied for second that includes McIlroy, Americans Mark Hubbard, Harry Higgs and Andrew Novak, as well as England’s Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose.“I would...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:00:58 GMT

MONTREAL — Minnesota United players might have a ringing in their ears after Saturday’s 4-0 loss to CF Montreal at Saputo Stadium.When CF Montreal scored goals, a large silver bell clanged in celebration behind the north net. Former Loons striker Mason Toye caused the first and third ringings but didn’t add to percussion.Once Toye scored in the seventh and 57th minutes, he respectfully refrained from doing the shaking-maracas celebration he used during his three seasons in Minnesota. His goals showed up his former club enough.Toye’s exit from Minnesota in October 2020 and the big influence he had on the match Saturday provide echo in the club’s always churning conveyor belt of forwards.Before the match, the Loons announced the transfer of Luis Amarill to Mazatlan for an undisclosed fee, ending the Paraguayan’s underwhelming time in Minnesota. They first brought in Amarilla in January 2020 and said goodbye to Toye in October 2020.The club started Mender Garcia at striker but subbed h...
