Carlos Ruiz had played 1,109 games in his career before Tuesday.

Carli Lloyd Elbowed An Opponent In The Head
The FA Women’s Super League, England’s top soccer league for women, is currently in its Spring Series—an interim league before the 2017-18 season begins in earnest.

The Sun Set On Novak Djokovic
If you make a living standing outside and hurling a small yellow sphere up above your head so you can hit it down, sometimes an enormous yellow sphere is right behind it, and you just have to find a way to cope. Novak Djokovic, squinting and awash in light, couldn’t, as he lost to David Goffin 6-2, ...

Former White Sox Pitches Effectively
Former Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale pitched yet another great game today.

Grigor Dimitrov Just Can't Seem To Break Through
Grigor Dimitrov, the talented but streaky member of a generation of men’s tennis players that’s been largely overshadowed by the longevity of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic cohort, looked poised to break out in 2017 when he started the year by winning 17 of 18 matches, knocking off three top-10 seeds al...
The King Of Clay Is Looking A Little Wobbly
All the conditions seemed fit for Rafael Nadal. After so many hardcourt disappointments, a return to his dream surface, red clay, where every ball sails slow and high; a tournament where he’s posted a merciless 58-4 record in his career; no Roger Federers looming in the draw. Basically an invitation...

When Gilles Simon took the second set here at Monte Carlo, that outcome seemed plausible. When Simon, hitting some astonishingly clean groundstrokes...

Marlins Fan Goes Swimming For Giancarlo Stanton Home Run Ball
Giancarlo Stanton accounted for the first four runs the Marlins scored tonight with a pair of two-run dongers. His first was a long, arching bomb that peaked at 148 feet above the field before landing over the center field wall. The latter dinger was utterly unlike the first, as Stanton smacked a ha...
