(AP) — IndyCar ironman Scott Dixon capitalized on needing to make only three pit stops and kept his championship hopes alive in winning Sunday’s Bommarito 500.The victory was the 55th of Dixon’s career and it came in his record extending 320th consecutive start. He set the record last week.Dixon had held the lead for 82 laps before making his final pit stop on lap 196.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:03 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander grabbed the bill of his cap and nodded toward Miguel Cabrera when he faced his former teammate.Then, he struck him out.“We’ve had a lot of great memories on and off the field,” Verlander said after helping the Houston Astros rout the Detroit Tigers 17-4 on Sunday. “I love that guy. I have so much respect for him. I’m glad A.J. (Hinch) put him in the lineup and I’m glad we had that moment.”The 40-year-old Cabrera, who plans to retire after the season, grounded out in the third inning against Verlander.Astros manager Dusty Baker, who is in 26th season as a manager after a 19-year playing career, compared the matchup to Hank Aaron going against Bob Gibson and Barry Bonds facing Pedro Martinez.“I remember some good ones,” the 74-year-old Baker said.Cabrera prevented the shutout, hitting a three-run homer to make it 14-3 in the eighth off Phil Maton.The playoff-contending Astros won the three-game series with their second straight win, followin...

ST. PETERBURG, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Lowe homered and drove in four runs as the AL wild card-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the Yankees 7-4 in a contentious matchup on Sunday and kept New York winless in series since June.Benches and bullpens emptied twice in the eighth inning after one of five hit batters but no punches were thrown, and the Yankees lost their eighth straight series rubber game,“Looking at it in a different view, it’s a last-place team,” Lowe said, “We don’t need to worry about it. We need to focus up on what we need to do down the stretch. If they lose a guy, it’s not going to be quite as big of a deal as if we’re losing one of our guys. We’re focused up on kind of a bigger picture.”Tampa Bay rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the sixth when Harold Ramírez flared a bases-loaded, two-out single to right off Ian Hamilton (2-2) that went just over a slow-to-react Gleyber Torres at second, and Lowe followed with a two-run single against Wandy Peralt...
