Brenton Doyle’s three-run triple leads Rockies over Blue Jays

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:45 GMT

Brenton Doyle is quickly gaining a reputation as the best young defensive outfielder in the majors. But the Rockies’ rookie center fielder wants to be so much more.So it was quite understandable that Doyle pumped his fist after sliding into third base with a bases-loaded triple in the fifth inning. Doyle’s three-run missile off the right-field wall was the key hit in Colorado’s white-knuckle, 8-7 victory over the Blue Jays Saturday night at Coors Field.Doyle entered the night with a .196 batting average and a strikeout rate of 36.7%. In fact, Toronto lefty Yusei Kikuchi fanned Doyle twice in his first two at-bats. But Doyle ambushed reliever Yimi Garcia’s first-pitch fastball and turned on the jets. Doyle scored on Charlie Blackmon’s single to right.Blackmon had quite a night himself, hitting 3 for 4 (including a double in the eighth) and driving in three runs. Also, in the fifth, the 37-year-old Blackmon swiped second base for his first stolen base of ...

Kyle Harrison falters in third MLB start, allows 4 home runs in SF Giants’ loss to Padres

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:45 GMT

SAN DIEGO — Kyle Harrison made a lot of major-league hitters look foolish through his first two major-league starts. But it was the 22-year-old lefty’s turn to get humbled Saturday in his third time taking the mound for the San Francisco Giants.Harrison surrendered four home runs and took the loss as the Giants (70-66) fell to the Padres (64-73), 6-1.Three of the long balls came within the first seven hitters Harrison faced before Garrett Cooper delivered the final blow, a three-run shot in the sixth, that ended Harrison’s night. The early barrage of homers, from Juan Soto, Xander Bogaerts and Gary Sánchez, echoed the way Tristan Beck began Friday night’s loss.Harrison became the first left-hander in the modern era to strike out at least 40% of the batters he faced in his first two big-league starts, racking up an impressive ledger of victims, and he flashed the same swing-and-miss stuff Saturday. He powered a heater past Fernando Tatis Jr. in the first inning and ...

Carlos Alcaraz’s variety makes it tough to choose shots at the US Open. He still keeps winning

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:45 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Ever since Carlos Alcaraz was 12 or so — OK, not forever ago, considering he’s still just 20 — he made sure variety was a key element of his game.Back then, he explained, there were so many options at his disposal that he might encounter a bit of trouble figuring out which to employ. And, he acknowledged, that can even be the case to this day.Alcaraz was by no means perfect during a 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory over the 26th-seeded Dan Evans in the U.S. Open’s third round on Saturday — there was that wayward set, after all — but the defending champion produced enough moments of brilliance to keep himself smiling and his many fans in New York roaring in approval.To hear the No. 1-seeded Alcaraz explain it, “a lot of different” possibilities enter his mind in the midst of a point — “the dropshot, big forehand, go to the net, multiple things” — before he selects which stroke to try. It can make things “difficult” on occasion, he said.“Most of the t...
