Arsenal to play MLS All- Stars in San Jose

-

Arsenal will play Major League Soccer’s All- Stars on July 28 at San Jose’s Avaya Stadium.

Previous clubs to play the MLS All- Stars include Chelsea ( 2006 and 2012), Everton ( 2009), Manchester United ( 2010 and 2011), Roma ( 2013), Bayern Munich ( 2014) and Tottenham ( 2015).

Baseball: Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas agreed to a two- year, $ 14.3 million deal with the Royals to avoid arbitratio­n. The 2015 All- Star hit .284 with 34 doubles, 22 homers and 82 RBIs last season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a minor- league deal with lefthanded reliever Eric O’Flaherty, who had an 8.10 ERA for the A’s and New York Mets last season. Motor sports: NASCAR has revamped its overtime procedure, moving to an unlimited green-white-checkered finish and establishi­ng an “overtime line” to determine the race winner.

The arbitrary OT line will vary by track. If the race leader passes the overtime line on the first lap under green before a caution comes out, it will be considered a valid green- white- checkered attempt. If a caution comes out before the leader passes the overtime line on the first lap under green, it will not be a valid attempt. The race will continue until there is valid attempt.

NASCAR previously had a limit of three tries to complete the race.

Golf: Justin Harding fired a 7under- par 63 to take a one- shot lead after the first round of the European Tour’s Tshwane Open in Pretoria, South Africa. Tennis: Top- seeded Venus Williams overpowere­d Urszula Radwanska 6- 4, 6- 2 to advance to the Taiwan Open quarterfin­als. Obituary: Willie Richardson, an All- Pro receiver for the Baltimore Colts in 1967, died Monday in Jackson, Miss. He was 76.
