Castellanos homers, Sánchez Ks 10 as Phillies move to brink of playoff spot with 5-2 win over Mets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:43 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Castellanos hit his 29th homer to move the Philadelphia Phillies within one win of a National League playoff berth after a 5-2 victory Sunday night, completing a four-game sweep over the New York Mets.The win was a bright spot in what the Phillies hoped would be a much more joyous day.Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the rest of the Phillies walked into the clubhouse with tarp rolled and pinned over their lockers and bottles of bubbly on standby waiting to get popped.All the Phillies really needed was some cooperation.The beer baths were momentarily on hold, even after Cristopher Sánchez (3-5) struck out 10 in seven innings, as wins earlier in the day by the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins meant a potential NL wild-card clinch had to wait at least one more game.Michael Lorenzen, rocked since he pitched a no-hitter in August, tossed a scoreless ninth for his first save.The NL champion Phillies will try to wrap up a second straight playoff berth when they send ...

Bears wrap up dismal week with disappointing performance in 41-10 loss in KC

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:43 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chicago Bears could have turned around what had been a miserable week with 60 minutes of inspired football Sunday.Instead, they endured another 60 minutes they would rather just forget.In what became a one-sided lashing at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, the woebegone Bears allowed scores on seven consecutive possessions, turned the ball over twice, produced 203 yards of total offense and absorbed several more injuries to a defense that came into the game with enough of them already.The result was a 41-10 loss, their 13th in a row dating to last season.“They hung in there together,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said, trying to put a positive spin on a drab day. “There was no dissention or finger-pointing, or any of that stuff. I didn’t feel that it was affecting us at all. The locker room was tight and it’s going to have to be tight now. There’s going to be a lot of outside noise and we’ve got to do a great job of staying together.”The Bears...

Cowboys’ rough week concludes with mistake-filled loss to Cardinals

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:43 GMT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Dak Prescott stepped up to avoid the rush, surveyed the coverage and let the ball fly into the end zone. Hit his receiver and the Dallas Cowboys would still have a chance to pull off a road comeback.One problem: Prescott didn’t see Kyzir White. The Arizona defensive back stepped in front of Prescott’s intended receiver and easily intercepted the pass, ending Dallas’ day of mistakes and missed opportunities with a 28-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.The Cowboys had a difficult week leading up to their trip to the desert. All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs tore his left ACL in practice on Thursday, leaving a big hole in the secondary. Dallas’ offensive line became thin when center Tyler Biadasz, tackle Tyron Smith and guard Zack Martin couldn’t play due to injuries.“This has been a rough week on a lot of fronts,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “I think the amount of adversity, you go through your preparation process and and we know we didn’t have eno...

Tatis’ spectacular catch, Soto’s soaring homer help the Padres rout the Cardinals 12-2

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:43 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — It had already been a tough afternoon in the late September sun when Fernando Tatis Jr. made a home run-robbing catch so spectacular it drew an ovation from the sellout crowd and admiration from his San Diego Padres teammates.The grab by the shortstop-turned-right fielder, which denied pinch-hitter Michael Siani a two-run homer, was the highlight Sunday for the Padres, who were pushed closer to elimination from the playoff picture even as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals 12-2 in their home finale. Juan Soto had a big day as well, hitting a 461-foot homer and driving in four runs.As the left-handed Siani drove a pitch from Michael Wacha to right in the sixth inning, Tatis retreated, took a quick glance at the 8-foot wall and perfectly timed his leap, extending his glove as far as he could to make the catch. His left shoulder was even with the wall when he brought the ball back in. After landing and regaining his balance, and with his dreadlocks flying, Tatis threw t...

Patrick Mahomes throws 3 TD passes, Taylor Swift celebrates as Chiefs rout Bears 41-10

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Travis Kelce was chatting with Patrick Mahomes in practice this week when he mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that he thought Taylor Swift would take him up on his invitation to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chicago Bears on Sunday.“Some things with Travis,” Mahomes explained later, “he says it and you don’ t know if it’s true or not, he says it so calmly.”Turns out it was true.Mahomes and Kelce put on quite their own show for the pop star, too.The reigning league MVP threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, his All-Pro tight end caught seven passes and one of the scoring throws, and the Chiefs romped to a 41-10 victory over the Bears — much to the delight of their newest fan, who joyfully pounded on the glass of her Arrowhead Stadium suite throughout the afternoon.“I haven’t gotten to meet her,” said Mahomes, who was left answering questions about Kelce and Swift’s budding relationship after his good buddy ducked out on ...

Joshua Dobbs, James Conner lead the Cardinals to a 28-16 win over the mistake-prone Cowboys

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:43 GMT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Nearly an hour after his first NFL win as a starter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs walked through the locker room with the game ball still securely tucked in his left arm.He even brought it to the postgame news conference, finding a place for it on the lectern.“It feels good when you win — you gotta enjoy them,” Dobbs said. “They’re difficult to come by in the NFL.”Dobbs knows the sentiment more than most. The 28-year-old — in his seventh NFL season — broke through for his first win by throwing for 189 yards and a touchdown in a 28-16 win over the mistake-prone Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The veteran backup was 0-4 as a starter before Sunday, losing twice last season with the Titans and twice more with the Cardinals this year.Dobbs completed 17 of 21 passes while James Conner and Rondale Moore both ran for a touchdown. Jonathan Gannon got his first win as Arizona’s coach as the franchise snapped a six-game home skid that lasted nearly a ...
