Steer’s two-run shot in 11th gives Reds wild 7-5 win over Padres

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:01:15 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Spencer Steer hit a game-winning two-run home run in the 11th inning and the Cincinnati Reds overcame Alexis Díaz’s first blown save of the season in a wild 7-5 win over the stumbling San Diego Padres on Friday. Elly De La Cruz doubled to drive in Jonathan India with the tying run and De La Cruz tried to score from third on Nick Senzel’s grounder to third off Drew Carlton, but was called out because he touched catcher Gary Sánchez’s left foot — a call that survived video review. Steer followed with his homer off Drew Carlton (2-1).“It was pretty cool that it worked out there,” Steer said. “We think we have a win and then the call doesn’t go our way. I know I kind of said one of those moments. It was a weird situations. I probably won’t have another one in my career. You wait to see what happens.”Sánchez drove in Xander Bogaerts from second base in the top of the 11th to put the Padres up 5-4, but they couldn’t avoid their sixth straight loss.

Garrett hits 2-run homer and Gray fans 8 to lead the Nationals past Phillies 2-1

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:01:15 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Josiah Gray scooted off the field after he fanned Bryson Stott on a high hard one to escape a scoring threat that gave the Washington Nationals a rare jolt on the mound.Gray could be excused for the animated exit in perhaps his inning of the season.“I don’t show much emotion, but I do in big spots like that,” he said.Stone Garrett hit a two-run homer and Gray forced two pop-ups and struck out a batter that left the potential go-ahead run stranded in the pivotal sixth inning to lead the Nationals to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.Staked to a 2-1 lead, Gray (6-6) shut down the meat of Philadelphia’s order after he let the first two runners reach in the sixth. The right-hander retired Bryce Harper on a pop up to third, got J.T. Realmuto to pop to second and struck out Stott swinging on a 95 mph fastball.“That’s something we talked about that he’s learned from last year to this year, just staying in the moment,” Nationals manager Dave ...

65-year-old Bernhard Langer leads US Senior Open at difficult SentryWorld

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:01:15 GMT

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) — Bernhard Langer has been able to avoid most of the trouble at SentryWorld in the U.S. Senior Open. He still was far from unscathed Friday in a 3-under 68 that gave him the second-round lead.“Believe it or not, I had two three-putts and a hit a sand wedge from the middle of the fairway into the water hazard, which is painful when you think about that from 100 yards,” the 65-year-old German star said after his morning round.Langer had six birdies and three bogeys a day after having a birdie and a bogey in an opening 71. On Friday, he hit 12 of 14 fairways on the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course with thick rough and tricky, inconsistent greens. At 3-under 139, Langer was one of only five players under par. The scoring average Friday was 76.54, down from 77.34 on Thursday.“The course is tough, but it’s fair, and it’s a great setup,” Langer said. “I’m fortunate to be playing well and look forward to the weekend.”The 2010 U.S. Senior Open winne...
