The New Year is underway, and with it, Evan and Mark have New Year's resolutions for the Detroit Tigers in the 2025 calendar year. The resolutions include Tarik Skubal, Kevin McGonigle, the American League Central and making a big splash via trade or free agency. What does all that mean? Listen to find out. After the break, Robert Ford, the radio voice of the Houston Astros, joins "Days of Roar" to share insider insight about Tigers target Alex Bregman. Topics include Bregman's relationship with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, his leadership behind the scenes, his on-field performance and more. Evan and Mark also tackle the big question surrounding the 2024-25 offseason: Is it Bregman or bust for the Tigers? To wrap up, we take a look at the Tigers' bullpen. Jason Foley, Tyler Holton, Beau Brieske and Will Vest are the only relievers guaranteed to make the Opening Day roster. Do the Tigers need to add externally to their bullpen? The guys talk which free agents the team could consider. Follow Evan on X/Twitter here. Read Evan's most recent work here

Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox MLB Pick Prediction 7/7/2022 by Tony T. Tigers at White Sox—Beau Brieske to start for the Tigers. Brieske in thirteen starts has an ERA of 4.54 with WHIP 1.28. The righthander pitches to high contact with 15.7% strikeouts and 7.8% walks. Ground ball rate of 38.1% with 1.82 home runs per nine innings.

NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Last Night Colorado Avalanche 2, Tampa Bay Lightning 1                    (COL Wins 4-2) Avalanche 2, Lightning 1 – Avalanche dethrone Lightning to win Stanley Cup for 3rd time The Colorado Avalanche have won the Stanley Cup after dethroning the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. The Avalanche beat the Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final behind a goal and an assist from Nathan MacKinnon and the cup clinching goal from Artturi Lehkonen. Tampa Bay fell two victories short of becoming the NHL’s first three-peat champion since the early 1980s New York Islanders dynasty. Colorado’s core led by MacKinnon, captain Gabriel Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen and longest-tenured player Erik Johnson finally got the job done after years of playoff disappointments.

If that streak of titles collected by the so-called Big Four of men’s tennis does come to an end following this fortnight, 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini and Hubert Hurkacz are among those who have demonstrated they are among the other contenders with a chance. There has been more variety among the women’s title winners lately, with seven players dividing the past eight Wimbledon trophies, including Serena Williams.

Chun led by six at the tournament’s midway point. Then she lost a three-shot advantage in the first three holes of the final round. But Thompson botched a short par putt on No. 14, bogeyed the 16th and three-putted on No. 17. Tennis – Wimbledon – Could this be the year for a new Wimbledon men’s champion? It’s been two decades since the Wimbledon men’s singles championship was won by someone outside the quartet of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. Could this be the year someone else earns that trophy? If that streak of titles collected by the so-called Big Four of men’s tennis does come to an end following this fortnight, 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini and Hubert Hurkacz are among those who have demonstrated they are among the other contenders with a chance. There has been more variety among the women’s title winners lately, with seven players dividing the past eight Wimbledon trophies, including Serena Williams.

DVR and Al look into whether there are still leagues where Jonathan India and Gabriel Moreno need to be added, and they also gauge the types of leagues where several hitters, including Carson Kelly, Nick Senzel and Adam Duvall, should be rostered. Is it time to add Anthony DeSclafani where he was dropped, and is there a reason to give Caleb Kilian a chance in shallower leagues? DVR and Al also explore some deeper league streamers, like Tyler Wells, Braxton Garrett and Beau Brieske and take stock of four relievers -- Kendall Graveman, Tanner Scott, Tanner Houck and Seranthony Dominguez -- who suddenly have a chance to rack up saves.

NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Finals Last Night Golden State Warriors 103, Boston Celtics 90                 (GSW Wins 4-2) Warriors 103, Celtics 90 – Warriors beat Celtics 103-90 to win 4th NBA title in 8 years The Golden State Warriors are NBA champions once again, topping the Boston Celtics 103-90 for their fourth title in the last eight seasons. Stephen Curry scored 34 points for the Warriors, who claimed the franchise's seventh championship overall. And this one completed a journey like none other, after a run of five consecutive finals, then a plummet to the bottom of the NBA, and now a return to greatness just two seasons after having the league's worst record. For Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, it's a fourth championship. The first three rings came in 2015, 2017 and 2018, when Golden State was dynastic and made five consecutive trips to the finals.  Curry also won his first Finals MVP award. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Texas Rangers 3, Detroit Tigers 1 San Diego Padres 6, Chicago Cubs 4 Rangers 3, Tigers 1 – Duran hits bases-clearing triple in 9th, Texas beats Tigers Ezequiel Duran hit a three-run triple with two out in the ninth inning to give the Texas Rangers a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Tigers closer Gregory Soto loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter before Duran hit a ball just inside first base and into the right-field corner. All three runners scored, giving Soto his second blown save of the season. Dennis Santana (3-2) picked up the win with a scoreless eighth inning, and Joe Barlow pitched the ninth for his 12th save. Soto's collapse, which led to Detroit's fifth straight loss, wasted seven scoreless innings from Detroit starter Beau Brieske. Padres 6, Cubs 4 – Joe Musgrove stars as Padres beat lowly Cubs 6-4 Joe Musgrove pitched seven effective innings in his third straight win, and the San Diego Padres handed the Chicago Cubs their 10th consecutive loss with a 6-4 victory. Musgrove permitted two runs and five hits, struck out a season-high nine and walked one. The 6-foot-5 right-hander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his 12 starts this year. San Diego improved to 7-2 in its last nine games with its first four-game series sweep of Chicago since Aug. 16-19, 2010, at Wrigley Field. The Padres' 41-24 record matches their best 65-game start since 1998, when the club won the NL West and advanced to the World Series. Today Atlanta (Morton 4-3) at Chicago Cubs (Thompson 6-2), 2:20 p.m. Texas (Gray 1-3) at Detroit (Skubal 5-3), 7:10 p.m.                    WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Chicago White Sox (Giolito 4-2) at Houston (Valdez 6-3), 8:10 p.m. MLB – Manfred says Rays, A’s need new ballpark deals soon Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics need to reach new ballpark deals soon and left open the possibility of considering relocation if agreements are not struck. Tampa Bay's lease at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, expires after the 2027 season. The Athletics have played at the Coliseum since 1968, and their lease expires after the 2024 season. The A's have proposed a new ballpark and are working with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf to gain the necessary approvals. NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Saturday Tampa Bay Lightning at Colorado Avalanche, 8:00 p.m.       (COL Leads 1-0) NHL – Lightning unfazed trailing Avalanche in Stanley Cup Final The Tampa Bay Lightning say they are unfazed after losing Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Colorado Avalanche. The two-time defending champions have been in this spot before. Tampa Bay has won 11 consecutive playoff series. They lost the opener in five of them. Tampa Bay was also swept in the first round the year before. Combining all that experience is why coach Jon Cooper and his players are able to stay even keeled in situations like this. Game 2 is Saturday night in Denver. WNBA – Women's National Basketball Association Tonight Atlanta Dream at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Storm star Sue Bird says 2022 will be her final WNBA season Seattle Storm star and five-time Olympic gold medalist Sue Bird says the 2022 season will be her last playing in the WNBA. The 41-year-old considered retirement after last season before returning for a 19th season as a player. She missed two seasons because of injuries. As for the timing of her retirement, she says “you just know when you know.” Bird is a four-time WNBA champion, 12-time All-Star and the oldest player in the league. The former No. 1 draft pick has spent her entire WNBA career with the Storm. Her announcement came a day before Seattle's game at Connecticut, the state where she was a collegiate star and national player of the year. The Storm close out their road trip on Sunday in New York, about 30 miles from where she grew up. Golf – US Open – Hadwin leads US Open as McIlroy makes statement with clubs Adam Hadwin wasn't officially in the U.S. Open until eight days ago. And then he walked off The Country Club with his best score ever in a major for a one-shot lead. The focus finally shifted away from Saudi-backed rival leagues, such as who's going and who's staying on the PGA Tour. Hadwin opened with a 4-under 66 on a breezy but not overly punishing day at Brookline. The lingering thoughts of the rival league came from Rory McIlroy, not from anything he said but with the golf he played. He shot 67 and was one behind. Golf – US Open – Mickelson meltdown comes early — with a 4-putt at US Open Phil Mickelson’s chances at the U.S. Open all but evaporated on the sixth green, where he four-putted for an ugly double bogey. It was the low point of a round of 8-over 78 that left him in a tie for 144th place. This marked the sixth straight time Lefty has failed to break par in the opening round of the U.S. Open. The fans were mostly civil. Lots of shouts of “Go Phil,” and “Happy Birthday, Phil,” for the six-time major winner who turned 52. This marked Mickelson’s first tournament in America since January, when he went on hiatus after his comments about LIV Golf first surfaced. Mickelson is getting a reported $200 million to play on he breakaway tour and has been suspended from the PGA Tour. FIFA – FIFA picks 2026 World Cup cities, predicts US `No 1 sport’ Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia and Seattle and Kansas City, Missouri, were the newcomers among the 11 U.S. sites picked to host games at the 2026 World Cup, while Baltimore, Cincinnati, Denver, Nashville, Tennessee, and Orlando, Florida, were left out. Arlington, Texas; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Inglewood and Santa Clara, California, were the holdovers. Mexico City's Estadio Azteca, which hosted the 1970 and '86 finals and will become the first stadium in three World Cups, was selected along with Guadalajara's Estadio Akron and Monterrey's Estadio BBVA. Toronto's BMO Field and Vancouver, British Columbia's B.C. Place were picked while Edmonton, Alberta's Commonwealth Stadium was dropped. FIFA – Excitement and disappointment as World Cup 2026 cities named Cheers and sighs met FIFA's announcement of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup. The winners included sites like Los Angeles, Mexico City and Toronto. But the big announcement was a disappointment for cities that were on the bubble. The crowd at a watch party in Washington D.C., was sullen when the last of the cities was announced. It was just the third time that a nation's capital has not been included as a host city. A similar scene played out in Denver. That was in contrast to the cheers in Kansas City. NCAA – Transfer window recommendation to NCAA board for approval The NCAA's Division I transformation committee will recommend changes to transfer rules and the infractions process before the end of June. The committee wants to establish designated time periods when college athletes can declare their intent to transfer and be eligible immediately at a new school. The transfer windows would set set on a sport-by-sport basis. The intent behind the change is to provide structure and clarity for athletes and coaches. Updates to the infractions process would be made in the hopes of making investigations more timely and holding rule-breakers accountable. NCAABSB – Clemson hires Michigan’s Bakich to revive baseball program Clemson has hired Michigan coach Erik Bakich to revive a Tigers’ baseball program that missed the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. The school announced the addition on Thursday. Bakich’s hiring was approved by the school’s board of trustees.

Bakich has led the Wolverines to five NCAA Tournament appearances since 2015. Michigan was the national runner-up in 2019. Bakich takes over for Monte Lee, who was fired after seven seasons. Billups, Gates headline latest Michigan sports hall class Former Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups and former San Diego Charger and Detroit native Antonio Gates lead the latest class of inductees for the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. The class released Thursday night also includes former Detroit high school basketball stars Chris Webber and Shane Battier, former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein, former Michigan softball pitcher Jennie Ritter, former Detroit Red Wing player and current broadcaster Mickey Redmond and Kathy Beauregard, who was Western Michigan's athletic director from 1997 through 2021.

Tigers closer Gregory Soto loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter before Duran hit a ball just inside first base and into the right-field corner. All three runners scored, giving Soto his second blown save of the season. Dennis Santana (3-2) picked up the win with a scoreless eighth inning, and Joe Barlow pitched the ninth for his 12th save. Soto's collapse, which led to Detroit's fifth straight loss, wasted seven scoreless innings from Detroit starter Beau Brieske. Padres 6, Cubs 4 – Joe Musgrove stars as Padres beat lowly Cubs 6-4 Joe Musgrove pitched seven effective innings in his third straight win, and the San Diego Padres handed the Chicago Cubs their 10th consecutive loss with a 6-4 victory. Musgrove permitted two runs and five hits, struck out a season-high nine and walked one. The 6-foot-5 right-hander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his 12 starts this year. San Diego improved to 7-2 in its last nine games with its first four-game series sweep of Chicago since Aug. 16-19, 2010, at Wrigley Field. The Padres' 41-24 record matches their best 65-game start since 1998, when the club won the NL West and advanced to the World Series. Today Atlanta (Morton 4-3) at Chicago Cubs (Thompson 6-2), 2:20 p.m. Texas (Gray 1-3) at Detroit (Skubal 5-3), 7:10 p.m.                    WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Chicago White Sox (Giolito 4-2) at Houston (Valdez 6-3), 8:10 p.m. MLB – Manfred says Rays, A’s need new ballpark deals soon Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics need to reach new ballpark deals soon and left open the possibility of considering relocation if agreements are not struck. Tampa Bay's lease at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, expires after the 2027 season. The Athletics have played at the Coliseum since 1968, and their lease expires after the 2024 season. The A's have proposed a new ballpark and are working with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf to gain the necessary approvals. NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Saturday Tampa Bay Lightning at Colorado Avalanche, 8:00 p.m.       (COL Leads 1-0) NHL – Lightning unfazed trailing Avalanche in Stanley Cup Final The Tampa Bay Lightning say they are unfazed after losing Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Colorado Avalanche. The two-time defending champions have been in this spot before. Tampa Bay has won 11 consecutive playoff series. They lost the opener in five of them. Tampa Bay was also swept in the first round the year before. Combining all that experience is why coach Jon Cooper and his players are able to stay even keeled in situations like this. Game 2 is Saturday night in Denver. WNBA – Women's National Basketball Association Tonight Atlanta Dream at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Storm star Sue Bird says 2022 will be her final WNBA season Seattle Storm star and five-time Olympic gold medalist Sue Bird says the 2022 season will be her last playing in the WNBA. The 41-year-old considered retirement after last season before returning for a 19th season as a player. She missed two seasons because of injuries. As for the timing of her retirement, she says “you just know when you know.” Bird is a four-time WNBA champion, 12-time All-Star and the oldest player in the league. The former No. 1 draft pick has spent her entire WNBA career with the Storm. Her announcement came a day before Seattle's game at Connecticut, the state where she was a collegiate star and national player of the year. The Storm close out their road trip on Sunday in New York, about 30 miles from where she grew up. Golf – US Open – Hadwin leads US Open as McIlroy makes statement with clubs Adam Hadwin wasn't officially in the U.S. Open until eight days ago. And then he walked off The Country Club with his best score ever in a major for a one-shot lead. The focus finally shifted away from Saudi-backed rival leagues, such as who's going and who's staying on the PGA Tour. Hadwin opened with a 4-under 66 on a breezy but not overly punishing day at Brookline. The lingering thoughts of the rival league came from Rory McIlroy, not from anything he said but with the golf he played. He shot 67 and was one behind. Golf – US Open – Mickelson meltdown comes early — with a 4-putt at US Open Phil Mickelson’s chances at the U.S. Open all but evaporated on the sixth green, where he four-putted for an ugly double bogey. It was the low point of a round of 8-over 78 that left him in a tie for 144th place. This marked the sixth straight time Lefty has failed to break par in the opening round of the U.S. Open. The fans were mostly civil. Lots of shouts of “Go Phil,” and “Happy Birthday, Phil,” for the six-time major winner who turned 52. This marked Mickelson’s first tournament in America since January, when he went on hiatus after his comments about LIV Golf first surfaced. Mickelson is getting a reported $200 million to play on he breakaway tour and has been suspended from the PGA Tour. FIFA – FIFA picks 2026 World Cup cities, predicts US `No 1 sport’ Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia and Seattle and Kansas City, Missouri, were the newcomers among the 11 U.S. sites picked to host games at the 2026 World Cup, while Baltimore, Cincinnati, Denver, Nashville, Tennessee, and Orlando, Florida, were left out. Arlington, Texas; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Inglewood and Santa Clara, California, were the holdovers. Mexico City's Estadio Azteca, which hosted the 1970 and '86 finals and will become the first stadium in three World Cups, was selected along with Guadalajara's Estadio Akron and Monterrey's Estadio BBVA. Toronto's BMO Field and Vancouver, British Columbia's B.C. Place were picked while Edmonton, Alberta's Commonwealth Stadium was dropped. FIFA – Excitement and disappointment as World Cup 2026 cities named Cheers and sighs met FIFA's announcement of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup. The winners included sites like Los Angeles, Mexico City and Toronto. But the big announcement was a disappointment for cities that were on the bubble. The crowd at a watch party in Washington D.C., was sullen when the last of the cities was announced. It was just the third time that a nation's capital has not been included as a host city. A similar scene played out in Denver. That was in contrast to the cheers in Kansas City. NCAA – Transfer window recommendation to NCAA board for approval The NCAA's Division I transformation committee will recommend changes to transfer rules and the infractions process before the end of June. The committee wants to establish designated time periods when college athletes can declare their intent to transfer and be eligible immediately at a new school. The transfer windows would set set on a sport-by-sport basis. The intent behind the change is to provide structure and clarity for athletes and coaches. Updates to the infractions process would be made in the hopes of making investigations more timely and holding rule-breakers accountable. NCAABSB – Clemson hires Michigan’s Bakich to revive baseball program Clemson has hired Michigan coach Erik Bakich to revive a Tigers’ baseball program that missed the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. The school announced the addition on Thursday. Bakich’s hiring was approved by the school’s board of trustees.

Bakich has led the Wolverines to five NCAA Tournament appearances since 2015. Michigan was the national runner-up in 2019. Bakich takes over for Monte Lee, who was fired after seven seasons. Billups, Gates headline latest Michigan sports hall class Former Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups and former San Diego Charger and Detroit native Antonio Gates lead the latest class of inductees for the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. The class released Thursday night also includes former Detroit high school basketball stars Chris Webber and Shane Battier, former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein, former Michigan softball pitcher Jennie Ritter, former Detroit Red Wing player and current broadcaster Mickey Redmond and Kathy Beauregard, who was Western Michigan's athletic director from 1997 through 2021.

The veteran a strike out rate of 21.7% with improved control. His ground balls up to 45.1% with 1.34 home runs per nine innings. Beau Brieske to start for Detroit.

Golf – Senior PGA – Steve Stricker out of Senior PGA with positive COVID-19 test Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker has pulled out of the Senior PGA Championship after testing positive for the coronavirus. Stricker revealed his positive test Tuesday on Twitter. He says he was “super bummed” and that it was “just a small setback.” Stricker was out of competition for six months because of a virus that he says doctors never fully identified. He became ill last fall about a month after leading the Americans to a record blowout over Europe at Whistling Straits. Stricker is coming off his fourth senior major title two weeks ago at the Regions Tradition. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 2, Detroit Tigers 0 Boston Red Sox 16, Chicago White Sox 3 Chicago Cubs 11, Cincinnati Reds 4 Twins 2, Tigers 0 – Sonny day: Gray’s 7 shutout innings send Twins past Tigers Sonny Gray compiled a season-high 10 strikeouts over seven sharp innings, carrying the Minnesota Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-0 for their sixth straight victory. Gray allowed four hits and one walk in by far his best of six starts with his new team. The Twins are 23-8 since April 21. They have won each of the last four games with Gray on the mound after he returned from a strained hamstring. Gio Urshela had three hits and an RBI, and Carlos Correa hit an RBI double for the Twins against Tigers rookie Beau Brieske. Red Sox 16, White Sox 3 – Red Sox pound White Sox 16-3, extend win streak to 6 games Trevor Story and Christian Vazquez each hit a three-run home run and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox set season highs in runs and hits in a 16-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Story’s homer off Dylan Cease capped a four-run first inning. Vazquez hit a three-run shot off Matt Foster to highlight a six-run sixth. Kike Hernandez hit Cease’s first pitch for a homer, and Rafael Devers led off the fourth with a homer off Jose Ruiz as the Red Sox extended their winning streak to six games. Designated hitter J.D. Martinez had four of the Red Sox’s 19 hits. The White Sox fell for the fourth time in seven games. José Abreu hit a two-run homer and Tim Anderson had two hits, including an RBI single for Chicago. Cubs 11, Reds 4 – Schwindel hits 2 homers, Cubs power past Reds 11-4 Frank Schwindel homered twice in a game for the first time in his career, Marcus Stroman recovered from a rough start to pitch five effective innings, and the Chicago Cubs rolled past the Cincinnati Reds. Schwindel has three homers in the first two games of Chicago’s four-game series at Cincinnati. The Cubs have hit a major league-leading 19 homers since May 14, going deep in 10 of 11 games. Stroman needed 37 pitches to get through the first, allowing four singles and two runs to the first five batters. But he cruised after that, retiring 14 of his final 16 batters with two walks. He struck out eight.

The Bulls lost in the first round of the playoffs to Milwaukee. LaVine’s four-year, $78 million contract is up and he said last month that he plans to explore the market as an unrestricted free agent. The Bulls can offer a max contract worth more than $210 million over five years.

After Kelsey Mitchell pulled Indiana within 93-90 with 21.8 seconds left, Vandersloot sank two free throws to seal it. Mitchell scored 25 points for Indiana. NFL – Changes under new coach Matt Eberflus hit Bears defense Personnel, position change and even weight loss have been some of the changes to affect the Chicago Bears defense since the start of spring work in organized team activities during coach Matt Eberflus’ first season. The switch to a 4-3 defense from a 3-4 meant some players switched positions, such as linebacker Roquan Smith. New players such as linebacker Nicholas Morrow, rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie safety Jaquan Brisker are getting extensive looks with the first team. All the while, the Bears are without veteran defensive ends Robert Quinn and Al-Quadin Muhammad, who have opted not to participate in voluntary offseason work. NFL – NFL revamps Rooney Rule to include quarterbacks coaches The NFL has expanded the Rooney Rule again, this time to include quarterbacks coaches in a further effort to diversify the coaching ranks. The change was announced Tuesday at the owners meeting in Atlanta by Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer. The oft-criticized Rooney Rule, adopted in 2003 to enhance opportunities for minorities to gain head coaching jobs and enhanced several times to include front office positions, now will requires one minority or female candidate from another team to be interviewed for quarterbacks coach. Previously, the rule covered head coach, general manager and all coordinator jobs. Tennis – French Open – Medvedev wins opening match Daniil Medvedev got his French Open off to a winning start — never a sure thing for the second-seeded Russian. The U.S. Open champion beat Facundo Bagnis of Argentina 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.  Medvedev was a quarterfinalist at Roland Garros last year after four straight losses in the first round. The Russian earned his first victory since undergoing hernia surgery nearly two months ago. He had lost his opening-round match at the Geneva Open last week on his return. Medvedev reached the final at the Australian Open this year, losing to Rafael Nadal in five sets.

Golf – Senior PGA – Steve Stricker out of Senior PGA with positive COVID-19 test Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker has pulled out of the Senior PGA Championship after testing positive for the coronavirus. Stricker revealed his positive test Tuesday on Twitter. He says he was “super bummed” and that it was “just a small setback.” Stricker was out of competition for six months because of a virus that he says doctors never fully identified. He became ill last fall about a month after leading the Americans to a record blowout over Europe at Whistling Straits. Stricker is coming off his fourth senior major title two weeks ago at the Regions Tradition. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 2, Detroit Tigers 0 Boston Red Sox 16, Chicago White Sox 3 Chicago Cubs 11, Cincinnati Reds 4 Twins 2, Tigers 0 – Sonny day: Gray's 7 shutout innings send Twins past Tigers Sonny Gray compiled a season-high 10 strikeouts over seven sharp innings, carrying the Minnesota Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-0 for their sixth straight victory. Gray allowed four hits and one walk in by far his best of six starts with his new team. The Twins are 23-8 since April 21. They have won each of the last four games with Gray on the mound after he returned from a strained hamstring. Gio Urshela had three hits and an RBI, and Carlos Correa hit an RBI double for the Twins against Tigers rookie Beau Brieske. Red Sox 16, White Sox 3 – Red Sox pound White Sox 16-3, extend win streak to 6 games Trevor Story and Christian Vazquez each hit a three-run home run and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox set season highs in runs and hits in a 16-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Story's homer off Dylan Cease capped a four-run first inning. Vazquez hit a three-run shot off Matt Foster to highlight a six-run sixth. Kike Hernandez hit Cease's first pitch for a homer, and Rafael Devers led off the fourth with a homer off Jose Ruiz as the Red Sox extended their winning streak to six games. Designated hitter J.D.
