THE HOT CORNER

AUTO RACING:

Matt Crafton had won more Truck Series championship than he’d had races the past couple years. That finally changed Saturday. The 44-year-old ended a three-year winless streak when the threetime and reigning series champ held off Christian Eckes over the final 20 laps to win the second race of a doubleheader at Kansas Speedway. It was his first victory since Eldora in July 2017.

PRO GOLF:

Renato Paratore won the British Masters for his second career victory on the European Tour on Saturday after closing with a 2-under 69 containing his first bogeys of the week. Paratore finished 18 under overall, three strokes ahead of Rasmus Højgaard (70), as the European Tour made its full return following a four-month suspension because of the pandemic.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL:

Oklahoma has moved its opener against Missouri State up a week to Saturday, Aug. 29. The Sooners said the NCAA approved a waiver request from both schools to change the date to allow more schedule flexibility amid the coronavirus pandemic. Oklahoma is set to face Tennessee in another home game Sept. 12, then travel to Army for a Sept. 26 contest.

BASEBALL:

Nationals catcher Tres Barrera was suspended 80 games without pay Saturday after testing positive for an anabolic steroid. MLB said Barrera, a 25-year-old who made his major league debut last September, tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance DHCMT, the chemical compound that fueled athletes in the former East Germany.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL:

Missouri players Xavier Pinson, Mitchell Smith and Jeremiah Tilmon Jr. withdrew from the NBA draft Friday and will return to the Tigers for the upcoming season.
