PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz left Sunday’s game against the Chicago White Sox with a left leg injury following a collision at home plate.Cruz was attempting to score from third on a chopper by Ke’Bryan Hayes when Cruz’s leg bent awkwardly beneath him while attempting to slide. Cruz’s leg appeared to collide with the legs of catcher Seby Zavala, who easily tagged out Cruz.The 6-foot-7 Cruz writhed in pain and the benches and bullpens briefly cleared after Pittsburgh designated hitter Carlos Santana appeared to take exception to Zavala’s behavior.There were no ejections and order was quickly restored.Cruz made his way to his feet and was helped to the bench by several members of the Pittsburgh athletic training staff.Cruz had walked leading off the inning to extend his on-base streak to 19 games, the third-longest active streak in the majors.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSourceStarling Marte of Mets exits game with neck strain

MORGAN COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) - The family of Joker, a 2-year-old American Bully, was heartbroken when their dog went missing in a remote area outside of Wiggins back on March 7. "He usually takes one of the dogs on long trips, so he took her and they were going to Las Vegas to deliver commercial roofing," Joker's mom Sara Heydens said. Heydens said her other half, John, stopped on I-76 near Wiggins to rest. He was traveling all the way from Michigan. She said that's when another car drove off the expressway he was parked on and crashed into his semi. She said John went to help the other driver, whose car was on fire. “He thought he secured Joker away from where the accident was. He went to get the lady out of the burning car, he was trying to get her to calm down but when he went back to Joker, Joker was gone," Heydens said.

Nestor Cortes barely had made it out of spring training when his monthslong tenure with the Orioles ended. Franchy Cordero didn’t even last that long.Both former members of the organization helped the New York Yankees take the first series of the season at Camden Yards with contributions in Sunday’s 5-3 rubber match, as Adley Rutschman’s four-hit day wasn’t enough to give Baltimore a series victory.Taken in the 2017 Rule 5 draft, Cortes made his first four major league appearances as an Oriole before being returned to New York. The left-hander has since dominated the Orioles, with his 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball Sunday leaving his ERA against them as 1.38 in eight outings, six of them starts.Half of his run support came from Cordero. Signed as a minor league free agent in December, Cordero was among the Orioles’ bevy of left-handed-hitting candidates this spring but opted out of his deal after hitting .413 with a 1.099 OPS in camp. Days later, the out...Aaron Judge, Franchy Cordero take O’s deep in Yanks’ rubber game win

BALTIMORE — With his first two-homer day of the season — and the 28th of his career — Aaron Judge now leads the Yankees with four home runs.The outfielder’s first longball of Sunday’s game, a 5-3 rubber game win for the Yankees, took right-hander Tyler Wells to straightaway center field in the third inning for a solo shot. Judge seems to enjoy at-bats against the Orioles starter, as two of his 62 home runs in 2022 came against Wells on July 22 last year.But it was Orioles reliever Logan Gillaspie who surrendered Judge’s second blast, a liner to left field in the eighth.In addition to pacing the Yankees in homers, Judge is now tied for the team lead in RBI with seven.He shares that space with Franchy Cordero, who showed the Orioles that he can hit the ball hard during spring training. He spent the weekend reminding them of his capabilities — while wearing the Yankees’ road grays.Cordero raked for Baltimore during exhibition play, slashi...Ticker: Tesla plans power storage factory; GM China auto sales down 25%
