  • Tampa Bay Rays beat Detroit Tigers, 3-1, in a true grudge match

    An early warning from the plate umpire stopped any more trouble on the field between the Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers. It didn't seem to put an end to the ill will, though. Jeremy Hellickson earned his fifth June win and the Rays beat Detroit, 3-1, Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla., in a game that got off to a tense start. Both benches were warned by umpire Vic Carapazza after Detroit's Rick Porcello hit Ben Zobrist with a pitch in the first inning. Both dugouts stayed calm and nothing further developed. Rays manager Joe Maddon didn't particularly like seeing Zobrist get plunked. ''I thought it was absolutely uncalled for, and hopefully the league will take a look at it,'' Maddon said.(   07/01/2013 12:26 AM )

  • Bill Haas pulls away to win at Congressional

    Bill Haas won the AT&T National on Sunday and joined some distinguished company.

Haas led by at least two shots the entire back nine, though he never allowed himself to think about winning until he stood over a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole and realized he had three putts to win. Haas has won at least one PGA Tour event in each of the last four years, joining Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Justin Rose.(   07/01/2013 12:00 AM )

  • Belgian Jan Bakelants perseveres, takes first yellow jersey at Tour de France

    AJACCIO, Corsica -- Jan Bakelants pulled away close to the finish line to win Sunday's second stage of the Tour de France and take the race leader's yellow jersey for the first time in his injury-plagued career. The 27-year-old Belgian made his move with a few hundred meters remaining and did enough to withstand a late charge from Slovak sprinter Peter Sagan for the biggest achievement of a frustrating career. ''It's difficult to believe what happened today, it's fantastic,'' said Bakelants, who had a knee operation earlier this year. ''Today it may be the first and last time I ever wear the yellow jersey.'' He won in 3 hours, 43 minutes, 11 seconds, with Sagan and third-place finisher Michal Kwiatkowski one second behind him.(   07/01/2013 12:00 AM )

  • New names alongside Djokovic, Murray at Wimbledon

    LONDON -- Get ready for some unfamiliar names at Wimbledon. With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal long gone, and Maria Sharapova out, too, after a havoc-filled Week 1 at the All England Club, Week 2 begins Monday with a schedule that includes participants such as Kenny de Schepper and Adrian Mannarino, Ivan Dodig and Jerzy Janowicz, Karin Knapp and Monica Puig. None of that group has played in a fourth-round match at any Grand Slam tournament. Members of the usual cast of characters are still around, of course, such as Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. None of that trio has dropped so much as a single set yet; all are expected to be around by next weekend.(   07/01/2013 12:00 AM )

  • Matt Kenseth captures NASCAR Sprint Cup race

    Matt Kenseth's fuel-only pit stop gamble helped him beat Jimmie Johnson late and win Sunday's rescheduled 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway. A race that was Johnson's to lose ultimately became Kenseth's series-high fourth victory of the season after crew chief Jason Ratcliff passed on putting new tires on the No. 20 Toyota following the race's ninth caution. ''I thought he was slightly crazy when that happened,'' said Kenseth, who widened his lead when the field went four-wide after the restart on lap 246 and saw Johnson's No. 48 Chevy spin from second place on a dominant day. ''I didn't think there was any way that we were going to hold on for that win.''(   07/01/2013 12:00 AM )
