MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Boston Red Sox 6, Detroit Tigers 3 San Francisco Giants 16, Chicago White Sox 6 Cubs were off Red Sox 6, Tigers 3 – Adam Duvall’s 3-run HR lifts Red Sox to 6-3 win over Tigers Adam Duvall hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the sixth inning and the Boston Red Sox went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3. Miguel Cabrera hit a two-out RBI single in the third inning of his final home opener to put Detroit up 3-1. The Red Sox scored a run in the third and fourth before surging into the lead with a four-run sixth. Boston was swept at home earlier in the week by Pittsburgh. Chris Sale gave up three runs and four hits and three walks while striking out seven in five innings.

McCormick hit a two-run home run in the second off Eduardo Rodriguez and doubled in the fourth. Tucker homered for a second straight game with his solo home run in the fourth to help the Astros to avoid a three-game sweep. Peña, last year’s World Series MVP, connected on a two-run shot off Tyler Alexander for his first home run of the season with two outs in the eighth to make it 8-2. White Sox 7, Giants 3 – Cease gets 1st win, Anderson tossed as White Sox beat Giants Dylan Cease went five innings in his first win, Tim Anderson got ejected and the Chicago White Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 7-3. Luis Robert Jr. had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run for Chicago. Gavin Sheets added three RBIs. Cease kept the Giants in check despite some control issues after they smacked seven homers in Monday’s 12-3 romp. The AL Cy Young Award runner-up walked 5, struck out 8. The only hit and run he allowed was a solo homer to J.D. Davis in the 2nd. Cubs at Reds, PPD – Cubs at Reds postponed due to rain, rescheduled Sept. 1 Wednesday’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Friday, Sept. 1.

Game 2 Game 2 (the original game) will start at 6:40 p.m. ET. Both games of the split doubleheader will be nine-inning regulation games.

Reyburn called Anderson out on strikes, and Anderson then turned back toward Reyburn to argue.

The 26-year-old Jiménez is 4 for 19 in five games. He had 31 homers as a rookie in 2019 but has had injuries in other seasons.

The Tigers, who won 7-6 in 11 innings Monday, have won two games in Houston after being swept by Tampa Bay in their opening series. Detroit led by one with one out in the eighth when Riley Greene tied a career high with his third hit of the night on a single to center field. Torkelson followed with his soaring shot to center to make it 5-2. Cubs 12, Reds 5 – Wisdom’s 3 hits, 6-run seventh, power Cubs over Reds 12-5 Patrick Wisdom doubled twice and had three hits and three RBIs, leading the Chicago Cubs over the Cincinnati Reds 12-5 to even their three-game series. Wisdom’s two-run single highlighted a six-run seventh inning that overcame a 3-2 deficit Chicago had 16 hits, including four doubles. Cody Bellinger went 3 for 5 with an RBI, a day after hitting a three-run homer that ended his 0-for-11 start with the Cubs. Ian Happ went 3 for 4 with a tying double. The University of Cincinnati product is a .296 career hitter against the Reds. Today Chicago Cubs (Stroman 1-0) at Cincinnati (Greene 0-0), 12:35 p.m. Detroit (Rodriguez 0-1) at Houston (Javier 0-0), 2:10 p.m. News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 1:45 San Francisco (Webb 0-1) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 0-0), 2:10 p.m. MLB – AP exclusive: MLB average salary up 11% year after lockout The average Major League Baseball salary was up 11.1% to a record $4.9 million to start this season, the biggest jump for the sport since 2001, according to a study by The Associated Press. The surge follows a spending spree in the first offseason since players and owners agreed to a five-year collective bargaining agreement last March. Texas Rangers shortstop and union executive subcommittee member Marcus Semien calls it “a step in the right direction.” The New York Mets led the way with a $355 million payroll, $70 million more than the previous high for a season’s start. Seven teams topped $200 million. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Detroit Red Wings 5, Montreal Canadiens 0 Chicago Blackhawks 4, Calgary Flames 3 Red Wings 5, Canadiens 0 – David Perron, Ville Husso help Red Wings beat Canadiens 5-0 David Perron had two goals and an assist, Ville Husso returned from a lower-body injury to make 24 saves and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-0 on Tuesday night. Husso was back after sitting out seven games. Lucas Raymond, Matt Luff and Joe Veleno also scored and Jordan Oesterle and Olli Matta each had two assists. Detroit ended a three-game Canadian trip with consecutive victories in Toronto and Montreal. Cayden Primeau made 16 saves in his second start for Montreal this season. Referee Marc Joannette ended his career with the game. He officiated more than 1,500 NHL games and three Stanley Cup finals. Blackhawks 4, Flames 3 – Athanasiou scores twice as Blackhawks beat Flames 4-3 Andreas Athanasiou scored twice, and the Chicago Blackhawks stopped an eight-game slide by topping the desperate Calgary Flames for a 4-3 victory. Jujhar Khaira and Austin Wagner also scored for Chicago, which began the night in last place in the NHL. The Blackhawks swept the three-game series against the Flames. Noah Hanifin had a goal and an assist for Calgary, which had won four in a row. With four games left in the Flames’ regular season, Calgary remains two points back of Winnipeg for the second wild card in the Western Conference. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Miami Heat 118, Detroit Pistons 105 Atlanta Hawks 123, Chicago Bulls 105 Heat 118, Pistons 105 – Butler leads Heat to late win against Pistons, 118-105 Jimmy Butler scored 18 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and the Miami Heat avoided an embarrassing loss by rallying to beat the hapless Detroit Pistons 118-105. Miami (42-37) kept its chance of escaping the Play-In tournament alive, but Detroit (16-63) made it tough before losing its 10th straight and falling to 1-21 in its last 22 games. Gabe Vincent scored 22 points for the Heat while Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro had 18 apiece. Jaden Ivey had 30 points for the Pistons, while fellow rookie Jalen Duren had 20 points and 14 rebounds.

Young didn’t make the trip to Chicago due to a non-COVID illness, and starting forward De’Andre Hunter missed his third consecutive game because of a left knee bruise. But Bogdanovic alleviated some of the scoring concerns by scoring 11 of the Hawks’ first 13 points after Zach LaVine scored a field goal to open the game. Th

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Detroit Red Wings 5, Montreal Canadiens 0 Chicago Blackhawks 4, Calgary Flames 3 Red Wings 5, Canadiens 0 – David Perron, Ville Husso help Red Wings beat Canadiens 5-0 David Perron had two goals and an assist, Ville Husso returned from a lower-body injury to make 24 saves and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-0 on Tuesday night. Husso was back after sitting out seven games. Lucas Raymond, Matt Luff and Joe Veleno also scored and Jordan Oesterle and Olli Matta each had two assists. Detroit ended a three-game Canadian trip with consecutive victories in Toronto and Montreal. Cayden Primeau made 16 saves in his second start for Montreal this season. Referee Marc Joannette ended his career with the game. He officiated more than 1,500 NHL games and three Stanley Cup finals. Blackhawks 4, Flames 3 – Athanasiou scores twice as Blackhawks beat Flames 4-3 Andreas Athanasiou scored twice, and the Chicago Blackhawks stopped an eight-game slide by topping the desperate Calgary Flames for a 4-3 victory. Jujhar Khaira and Austin Wagner also scored for Chicago, which began the night in last place in the NHL. The Blackhawks swept the three-game series against the Flames. Noah Hanifin had a goal and an assist for Calgary, which had won four in a row. With four games left in the Flames’ regular season, Calgary remains two points back of Winnipeg for the second wild card in the Western Conference. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Miami Heat 118, Detroit Pistons 105 Atlanta Hawks 123, Chicago Bulls 105 Heat 118, Pistons 105 – Butler leads Heat to late win against Pistons, 118-105 Jimmy Butler scored 18 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and the Miami Heat avoided an embarrassing loss by rallying to beat the hapless Detroit Pistons 118-105. Miami (42-37) kept its chance of escaping the Play-In tournament alive, but Detroit (16-63) made it tough before losing its 10th straight and falling to 1-21 in its last 22 games. Gabe Vincent scored 22 points for the Heat while Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro had 18 apiece. Jaden Ivey had 30 points for the Pistons, while fellow rookie Jalen Duren had 20 points and 14 rebounds. Hawks 123, Bulls 105 – Bogdanovic’s 26 lead Young-less Hawks past Bulls 123-105 Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 26 points, as the Atlanta Hawks overcame the loss of leading scorer Trae Young to beat the Chicago Bulls 123-105. Young didn’t make the trip to Chicago due to a non-COVID illness, and starting forward De’Andre Hunter missed his third consecutive game because of a left knee bruise. But Bogdanovic alleviated some of the scoring concerns by scoring 11 of the Hawks’ first 13 points after Zach LaVine scored a f

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball – Championship Last Night NCAA Tournament – Final Four – NRG Stadium, Houston 4 UConn 76, 5 San Diego State 59 UConn 76, SDSU 59 – UConn wins March Madness with 76-59 smothering of SDSU Adama Sanogo powered UConn to the school’s fifth national title with a 76-59 victory over San Diego State. Sanogo had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies, who became the fifth team since the bracket expanded in 1985 to win all six NCAA Tournament games by double-digits on the way to a championship. UConn built a 16-point lead late in the first half, then held on for a wild ride down the stretch. The Aztecs trimmed the lead to five with 5:19 left, but Jordan Hawkins answered with a 3 to trigger a 9-0 run and put the game out of reach. Keshad Johnson led San Diego State with 14 points. Sanogo was named the most outstanding player of the tournament. NCAAMBKB – Ex-Hoosiers coach Bob Knight out of hospital, son says Former Indiana Hoosiers coach Bob Knight has been released from a hospital in Bloomington, Indiana. His son, Pat Knight, says he returned home after he was admitted with an illness over the weekend. Pat Knight issued a statement thanking people for their thoughts and prayers while asking them to respect the family’s privacy. The 82-year-old Knight won three national championships at Indiana before he was fired in September 2000 after grabbing a student by the arm in violation of the school’s zero-tolerance policy. He was hired by Texas Tech in 2001 and retired in 2012 with a then-Division I record 899 career wins. NCAAMBKB – Jim Nantz bids a fond farewell to March Madness Jim Nantz could fill an evening weaving tales of the great games and buzzer-beaters he’s had the privilege to call over a storytelling career that made his the voice of March Madness for nearly four decades. But when asked about his favorite moments as he prepared for the 354th and final game of that journey, he wanted to talk about underdogs. It’s the teams that don’t get much time in the limelight that Nantz works overtime for. He wants to tell their stories the right way. It makes this year’s Final Four a fitting time to go out. It was filled with teams nobody expected. A storyteller’s paradise, Nantz called it. Even though this is it for basketball, the 63-year-old broadcaster will stay on CBS for golf and football coverage.

Detroit wasted a 4-0 lead but Riley Greene’s seventh-inning homer off Bryan Abreu put the Tigers ahead 5-4. Vierling’s backhand grab in right on Maurico Dubon’s two-out liner stopped Houston’s four-run rally in the fifth. After Houston tied the score with two outs in the ninth, Vierling homered in the 11th off Héctor Neris. Reds 7, Cubs 6 – Vosler’s three-run blast lifts Reds past Cubs 7-6 Jason Vosler, a non-roster invitee to spring training, hit a go-ahead three-run home run, his second of the season, as the Cincinnati Reds held off the Chicago Cubs 7-6. Cody Bellinger collected his first hit as a Cub: a three-run home run in the first. Derek Law stranded the tying and go-ahead runners in the ninth to earn his first save since 2019. Alex Young (1-0) got the win. Drew Smyly (0-1) took the loss for Chicago. Cincinnati, which began last season 3-22, is off to a 3-1 start. Giants 12, White Sox 3 – Villar homers twice, Giants hit 7 in romp over White Sox David Villar hit two of San Francisco’s seven home runs, Anthony DeSclafani tossed three-hit ball over six scoreless innings and the Giants pounded the Chicago White Sox 12-3. Villar hit a solo homer in the fifth and a grand slam in the ninth. Joc Pederson, Michael Conforto, Thairo Estrada, Mike Yastrzemski and Bryce Johnson also went deep. The Giants spoiled Chicago’s first home game under manager Pedro Grifol. Pederson got the home run derby going when he connected leading off a two-run second. The Giants smacked four more homers in the fifth, the first time they hit four in an inning since Sept. 18, 2011 at Colorado.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Tampa Bay Rays 5, Detroit Tigers 1 Milwaukee Brewers 9, Chicago Cubs 5 Chicago White Sox 6, Houston Astros 3 Rays 5, Tigers 1 – Springs 6 hitless innings, Rays beat Tigers for 3-game sweep Tampa Bay’s Jeffrey Springs was pulled after six hitless innings, Riley Greene got Detroit’s first hit with an infield single off Colin Poche in the seventh and the Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Sunday to complete an opening three-game sweep. Springs struck out a career-high 12 and matched his high of six innings. He threw 58 of 81 pitches for strikes. Detroit had just one runner against Springs: Nick Maton drew a two-out walk in the second. Three Tampa Bay relievers completed a two-hitter. Brewers 9, Cubs 5 – Winker drives in 3 as Brewers beat Taillon, Cubs 9-5 Jesse Winker had two hits and three RBIs, including a key two-run single in Milwaukee’s five-run sixth inning, and the Brewers beat Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs 9-5. Christian Yelich, Garrett Mitchell and Brice Turang also had two hits apiece — part of a 13-hit attack for Milwaukee. Winker was acquired in a December trade with Seattle. He had a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth inning of Milwaukee’s 3-1 win on Saturday. Taillon was charged with three runs and seven hits in four innings in his Chicago debut. The 6-foot-5 right-hander signed a four-year contract in free agency. White Sox 6, Astros 3 – Robert, Moncada power White Sox past Astros 6-3 Luis Robert Jr. and Yoán Moncada homered, Mike Clevinger threw five shutout innings and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros 6-3. Robert hit a solo home run in the fifth and made a spectacular sliding catch on the left-center warning track in the ninth to rob Kyle Tucker of extra bases. Moncada hit a two-run homer in the ninth as Chicago gained a four-game split of the opening series.

Those Michigan freshmen known as the Fab Five ended up one win short of the title. That is exactly where San Diego State, a team coached by former Fab Five assistant Brian Dutcher, finds itself in 2023 during another transformative period in college hoops. The Aztecs, who will face UConn in the title game, are a team forged quickly through the newly liberated transfer portal and enriched by opportunities that have sprung from name-image-likeness deals. All those were distant dreams for those brash Michigan players in the 1990s but part of something they started pushing for back then.

The victory made Kim Mulkey the first women’s coach to win national championships at two different schools. She won three at Baylor before leaving for LSU two years ago. Her four titles gave her the third most all-time behind Geno Auriemma’s 11 and Pat Summitt’s eight. Mulkey has never lost in a championship game. Angel Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds for LSU and was honored as the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. Clark scored 30 points to finish the tournament with 191, breaking Sheryl Swoopes’ record of 177 set in 1993.

Olli Maatta had a goal and an assist, and Jonatan Berggren also scored for Detroit. Moritz Seider added two assists. Calle Jarnkrok and John Tavares scored for Toronto which lost goalie Matt Murray to an injury late in the first period. He allowed two goals on seven shots before being replaced by Ilya Samsonov, who made 13 saves in relief after stopping 31 shots in a 3-0 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

MLB – Major League Baseball – Opening Day 2023 Yesterday Tampa Bay Rays 4, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago Cubs 4, Milwaukee Brewers 0 Chicago White Sox 3, Houston Astros 2 Rays 4, Tigers 0 – McClanahan sharp, Rays blank Tigers 4-0 on opening day Shane McClanahan pitched six sharp innings, Jose Siri and Wander Franco homered and the Tampa Bay Rays opened their silver anniversary season with a 4-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley also drove in runs charged to Eduardo Rodriguez. McClanahan gave up four hits in his second opening day start. Miguel Cabrera, beginning what he has said will be his last season, had one of Detroit’s six hits — a seventh-inning double — that moved him into a tie with Ichiro Suzuki for 23rd on the all-time hit list with 3,089. Cubs 4, Brewers 0 – Swanson, Stroman help Cubs beat Brewers 4-0 on opening day Dansby Swanson had three hits in his Chicago Cubs debut and Marcus Stroman worked six scoreless innings, breezing past baseball’s first pitch-clock violation on his way to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day. Swanson’s first hit with his new team was an RBI single that sparked a four-run third. He tacked on two more singles and played his usual solid defense at shortstop. Swanson signed a $177 million, seven-year contract with Chicago in free agency, leaving Atlanta after seven seasons. Milwaukee was limited to singles for rookie Brice Turang, Willy Adames, Brian Anderson and William Contreras. White Sox 3, Astros 2 – Vaughn’s double lifts White Sox over Astros 3-2 in opener Andrew Vaughn’s tiebreaking, two-run double in the ninth inning lifted the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 win over the defending World Series champion Houston Astros in their season opener. The game was tied 1-all after a homer by Chicago’s Yasmani Grandal in the eighth. Ryan Pressly walked Tim Anderson with one out in the ninth before a single by Luis Robert Jr. Vaughn then belted a double to center field that put the White Sox on top. Pedro Grifol got the win in his managerial debut after spending the last 10 seasons as a coach in the Royals organization. It snapped a streak of 10 straight wins for the Astros in openers.

With no outs, rookie Brice Turang on second base and Christian Yelich at the plate, plate umpire Ron Kulpa called the violation on Stroman at Wrigley Field. Kulpa pointed to his wrist in announcing the call, and the automatic ball made it a 2-2 count against Yelich. Cubs-Brewers was the fourth of 15 opening day games to begin Thursday. Several more violations followed on the first day of regular season games since MLB introduced a slate of rules changes this season. MLB – Nico Hoerner looking forward to long-term future with Cubs Nico Hoerner is looking forward to his future with the Chicago Cubs after finalizing a $35 million, three-year contract. The deal begins with the 2024 season, covering his last two years of arbitration and the first year that he would have been eligible for free agency. Hoerner, who turns 26 in May, was selected by the Cubs in the first round of the 2018 amateur draft out of Stanford. Making his first public comments since the contract was completed, Hoerner says, “This is where I want to be.” He singled, scored and committed a throwing error in a 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on opening day.

MLB – Major League Baseball – Opening Day 2023 Yesterday Tampa Bay Rays 4, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago Cubs 4, Milwaukee Brewers 0 Chicago White Sox 3, Houston Astros 2 Rays 4, Tigers 0 – McClanahan sharp, Rays blank Tigers 4-0 on opening day Shane McClanahan pitched six sharp innings, Jose Siri and Wander Franco homered and the Tampa Bay Rays opened their silver anniversary season with a 4-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley also drove in runs charged to Eduardo Rodriguez. McClanahan gave up four hits in his second opening day start. Miguel Cabrera, beginning what he has said will be his last season, had one of Detroit’s six hits — a seventh-inning double — that moved him into a tie with Ichiro Suzuki for 23rd on the all-time hit list with 3,089. Cubs 4, Brewers 0 – Swanson, Stroman help Cubs beat Brewers 4-0 on opening day Dansby Swanson had three hits in his Chicago Cubs debut and Marcus Stroman worked six scoreless innings, breezing past baseball’s first pitch-clock violation on his way to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day. Swanson’s first hit with his new team was an RBI single that sparked a four-run third. He tacked on two more singles and played his usual solid defense at shortstop. Swanson signed a $177 million, seven-year contract with Chicago in free agency, leaving Atlanta after seven seasons. Milwaukee was limited to singles for rookie Brice Turang, Willy Adames, Brian Anderson and William Contreras. White Sox 3, Astros 2 – Vaughn’s double lifts White Sox over Astros 3-2 in opener Andrew Vaughn’s tiebreaking, two-run double in the ninth inning lifted the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 win over the defending World Series champion Houston Astros in their season opener. The game was tied 1-all after a homer by Chicago’s Yasmani Grandal in the eighth. Ryan Pressly walked Tim Anderson with one out in the ninth before a single by Luis Robert Jr. Vaughn then belted a double to center field that put the White Sox on top. Pedro Grifol got the win in his managerial debut after spending the last 10 seasons as a coach in the Royals organization. It snapped a streak of 10 straight wins for the Astros in openers.

With no outs, rookie Brice Turang on second base and Christian Yelich at the plate, plate umpire Ron Kulpa called the violation on Stroman at Wrigley Field. Kulpa pointed to his wrist in announcing the call, and the automatic ball made it a 2-2 count against Yelich. Cubs-Brewers was the fourth of 15 opening day games to begin Thursday. Several more violations followed on the first day of regular season games since MLB introduced a slate of rules changes this season. MLB – Nico Hoerner looking forward to long-term future with Cubs Nico Hoerner is looking forward to his future with the Chicago Cubs after finalizing a $35 million, three-year contract. The deal begins with the 2024 season, covering his last two years of arbitration and the first year that he would have been eligible for free agency. Hoerner, who turns 26 in May, was selected by the Cubs in the first round of the 2018 amateur draft out of Stanford. Making his first public comments since the contract was completed, Hoerner says, “This is where I want to be.” He singled, scored and committed a throwing error in a 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on opening day.

MLB – Major League Baseball – Opening Day 2023 Today Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays, 3:10 p.m. News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 2:45 Chicago White Sox at Houston Astros, 7:08 p.m. MLB – MLB opening day offers clocks, shift bans, Ohtani and Judge A major shift is coming to Major League Baseball, starting on opening day today. New rules are now in effect. There will be clocks at stadiums to hurry along pitchers and hitters, and there are restrictions on defensive shifts for fielders. The full slate of 15 games includes matchups at Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge will aiming at his own home run record, Shohei Ohtani will be trending with every pitch and swing and Houston manager Dusty Baker is trying to win another World Series ring. MLB – AP source: Minor leaguers reach 5-year labor deal with MLB Minor league baseball players reached a historic initial collective bargaining agreement with Major League Baseball on Wednesday that will more than double player salaries, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details were not announced. The sides reached the five-year deal on Wednesday, two days before the start of the minor league season and hours after a federal judge gave final approval to a $185 million settlement reached with MLB last May of a lawsuit filed in 2014 alleging violations of federal minimum wage laws. Under the new deal, minimum salaries in Triple-A will rise from $17,500 to $45,800. MLB – MLB broadcasters adapting to faster pace under new rules Major league pitchers and batters aren’t the only ones going on the clock this season. Big league broadcasters have also been using spring training to adjust to baseball’s new rhythm amid a series of rules changes. When the season opens Thursday, Major League Baseball will usher in an age of sharper, quicker and more concise commentary. For a generation of play-by-play pros who grew up idolizing loquacious storytellers like Hall of Famer Vin Scully, it’s been an adjustment. But not necessarily an unwelcome one. MLB – Cubs’ Happ: ‘Nothing really to report’ on negotiations All-Star outfielder Ian Happ appears poised to enter the season with an expiring contract after he and the Chicago Cubs were unable to agree on a new deal. Happ had “nothing really to report” and “no real comment on it.” He says he is not breaking off talks, but adds: “That also doesn’t mean anything.” Happ is eligible for free agency after the upcoming season. Chicago hosts the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day on Thursday. The Cubs did lock in one key player, finalizing a $35 million, three-year contract infielder Nico Hoerner on Wednesday. That contract begins in 2024. Hoerner is moving to second base after playing shortstop last season with the arrival of All-Star Dansby Swanson on a $177 million, seven-year contract. NFL – NFL hits highs in diverse executives, lacks in head coaches The NFL took another step at the owners meetings to increase diversity throughout the league while continuing to face criticism and a lawsuit for lack of representation among head coaches. Each team is now required to have a person in charge of diversity, equity and inclusion. Currently, 15 clubs have a DEI head and two others have someone leading that department and another one. The league has reached milestone points in diverse hirings in the front office but critics point to the sidelines where there are only three Black head coaches in a sport that had 56.4% Black players in 2022. NCAABB – A different March Madness: Online hate for the athletes A toxic cauldron on social media is one of the minefields players in the NCAA Tournament must navigate. In an era of increased sensitivity to athlete mental health, never have there been more outside voices scrutinizing their every move. In the third part of a series on social media’s impact on March Madness, The Associated Press found that turning off social media is an option but not really a practical one. It’s unrealistic with the way society interacts in the 21st century. And many athletes need to use social media for endorsement deals. All of that, the AP found, comes with a toll best illustrated by spikes among athletes in anxiety and depression over the past two years. NCAAWBKB – Women making case in tourney for own March Madness TV deal The NCAA has gotten mostly positive reviews for its new women’s Sweet 16 format during March Madness. Hosting games it two cities instead of the traditional four set attendance records higher TV ratings. The two regionals combined to set an all-time attendance mark for the Sweet 16, following up the record mark set the first weekend.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Detroit Red Wings 7, Pittsburgh Penguins 4 Dallas Stars 4, Chicago Blackhawks 1 Red Wings 7, Penguins 4 – Perron’s 3rd-period hat trick lifts Red Wings past Penguins David Perron had a hat trick in the third period and the Detroit Red Wings overcame the ejection of coach Derek Lalonde to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-4. Perron posted his ninth career three-goal game. He scored on a wrist shot early in the third, put Detroit ahead 5-4 on the power play with 3:40 left and added his 19th goal of the season 45 seconds later. Lalonde was assessed a game misconduct during the second period. He profanely argued after unsuccessfully challenging Pittsburgh’s third goal on a claim of goalie interference. Detroit squandered an early three-goal lead and won for just the fourth time in 16 games. Stars 4, Blackhawks 1 – Stars get goals from 4 players, beat skidding Blackhawks 4-1 Tyler Seguin, Colin Miller, Joe Pavelski and Luke Glendening scored as the Dallas Stars topped the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1. Dallas improved to 94 points and climbed into a second-place tie with idle Colorado in the tight Central Division. First-place Minnesota has 95 points. Jake Oettinger lost a bid for his fifth shutout when Tyler Johnson popped in a loose rebound at 10:33 of the third period. Oettinger made 17 saves. He was only lightly tested as Dallas dominated for most of the game and outshot the last-place Blackhawks 33-18 in handing them their sixth straight loss. NHL – Blackhawks’ Toews returns to ice, hints at retirement Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews returned to the ice while also hinting his NHL career could be winding down. Toews skated with his teammates before their game against the Dallas Stars. It was his first time practicing with the Blackhawks since his most recent game in Edmonton in late January. He made a statement through the team in February saying he’d be stepping away because of the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and “long COVID.” In his first public comments since, Toews stopped short of saying he hoped to play in any of last-place Chicago’s nine remaining games. NHL – Predators motivated to bring joy to Nashville after shooting Predators defenseman Ryan McDonagh and his teammates were motivated to do more than just beat the Boston Bruins in their NHL game Tuesday night. The Predators wanted to bring a brief bit of joy to the city of Nashville a day after a fatal grade school shooting that left six dead, including three children. McDonagh said it wasn’t just another game as the Predators beat the NHL-leading Bruins 2-1. “Quite frankly there are really no words that you can say after what went on yesterday in Nashville,” he said. “Just a tragedy for those families and everybody affected. You don’t really realize it until you have kids of your own and the perspective. It hits you.” NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers, 7:00 p.m. Detroit Pistons at Oklahoma City Thunder, 8:00 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Chicago Cubs 8, Chicago White Sox 5 End Spring Training Thursday 2023 Opening Day Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays, 3:10 p.m. WSJM 2:45 Chicago White Sox at Houston Astros, 7:00 p.m. MLB – MLB free agent watch: Ohtani leads possible 2023-24 class Shohei Ohtani watch is on. Not Ohtani’s home runs or strikeouts or any of his magnificent numbers from the field. Nothing like that. It’s all about how much his next contract will be worth. Ohtani is among a group of players going into their final season before they are eligible for free agency. There is still time for signatures and press conferences before opening day, but history shows a new contract becomes less likely once the real games begin. The list of impending free agents also includes Aaron Nola, Matt Chapman, Teoscar Hernández, Ian Happ and Julio Urías. NFL – AP sources: Two groups formally submit bids for Commanders Dan Snyder’s departure from the NFL is moving closer to reality. A group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales and another group led by Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos have submitted fully financed bids for the NFL’s Washington Commanders, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Two people confirmed the bid from Harris. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because details of the bid have not been publicly announced. The Harris/Rales group includes basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta also has been in the running. Snyder had yet to accept an offer when the league’s finance committee met Monday so his future wasn’t openly discussed. NFL – Goodell: Commanders report to be released even if team sold Embattled Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder could very well sell the franchise before an investigation into his organiza
