BASEBALL

The Tampa Bay Rays scored five runs in the 16th inning as they beat the Miami Marlins 9- 6 in a marathon five- and- a- halfhour game. The Rays notched up an early 4- 0 lead after two with Wilson Ramos getting his 12th homer of the season but a Trevor Richards RBI single cut the deficit to 4- 2. The Marlins then had two in the fifth to tie the game at 4- 4, which was followed by ten scoreless innings. Tampa Bay got the breakthrough with a Jake Bauers RBI double and put on another four runs. The Marlins, in reply, could only manage two. Extras were also needed to split the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds - with Yoan Moncada hitting a three- run triple to seal a 12- 8 win for the former. Elsewhere, the Detroit Tigers went down to the Chicago Cubs 5- 3, the Minneso- ta Twins were shutout by the Milwaukee Brewers 2- 0 and the Boston Red Sox hit six in the fifth in an 11- 4 win over the Washington Nationals.

CRICKET

Disgraced batsman David Warner has been appointed captain of the Winnipeg Hawks as he continues his comeback in the Global T20 Canada. Part of Warner’s punishment following the ball- tampering row was that he would never be considered for an Australia leadership position again. However, Warner, who was banned from international and domestic state cricket for 12 months by Cricket Australia, will replace the injured Dwayne Bravo at the head of the Hawks setup. Warner has made only six runs in three innings to date – his first competitive action in three months – but Hawks coach and former Pakistan paceman Waqar Younis is confident the 31- year- old will be up to the challenge of captaining the side. He said in quotes on BBC Sport: “He’s going to be a good leader. He’s a team man. He’s up front and he likes to give whatever his knowledge is. He’s always there.” SECOND T20 INTERNATIONAL ( HARARE) Zimbabwe 162- 4 ( S F Mire 94) v Pakistan 163- 3. Pakistan beat Zimbabwe by 7 wkts.
