MLB: Trout, Angels bail out Ohtani

Mike Trout hit his major leagueleading 10th homer and the Los Angeles Angels overcame another shaky start by

Shohei Ohtani to beat the Astros 8-7 Tuesday night in Houston, tying a team record with their 11th straight road win. Andrelton Simmons homered twice with a career-high five RBIs, connecting for a tiebreaking, three-run drive in the seventh inning.

Ohtani yielded four runs on six hits and five walks in 5 ¹/3 innings. The twoway star from Japan was tagged by Boston in his previous start and left after two innings because of a blister problem.

Kyle Schwarber hit two of Chicago’s four solo home runs and the Cubs beat the Indians 10-3 in Cleveland, the first meeting between the teams since their classic 2016 World Series.

In Toronto, Curtis Granderson hit a walk-off homer in the 10th inning to give the Blue Jays a 4-3 win and hand the Red Sox their season-worst third straight defeat.

NBA: Westbrook fined 10G

Russell Westbrook has been fined $10,000 by the league and assessed a postgame technical foul for initiating a confrontation with Jazz center

Rudy Gobert on Monday. The Thunder guard came onto the court as a substitution following a stoppage with 7:55 left in the fourth quarter of a 113-96 Game 4 loss to the Jazz. He intervened in an incident between Gobert and Raymond Felton.

ETC.: Rams opt for Gurley

The Rams have picked up their fifth-year contract options for 2019 on running back Todd Gurley and cornerback Marcus Peters.

One of the most talented receivers on the draft board has dug himself into a deeper hole. Former Florida receiver Antonio Callaway failed a drug test at the NFL combine after testing positive for marijuana, ESPN reported. Welterweight champion Keith

Thurman is relinquishing his WBC title. Thurman said he would step aside while rehabilitating from elbow surgery and a recent hand injury. That should lead to Danny Garcia and Shawn

Porter fighting for the championship.
