Tigers 5, Braves 2 – Torres has 3 hits and go-ahead sacrifice fly as Tigers rally to beat Braves 5-2 and avoid sweep
Gleyber Torres had three hits and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning as the Detroit Tigers rallied to beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 to avoid a three-game sweep. With Atlanta leading 2-1, Kerry Carpenter led off the eighth with a triple off Joel Payamps. Matt Vierling’s double to left field tied the game before Payamps walked Hao-Yu Lee. After Aaron Bummer walked Kevin McGonigle, Torres’ fly ball to center field drove in Vierling for a 3-2 lead. Detroit added two run in the ninth.

MLB – Affter Jansen’s blown save, Tigers turn to Finnegan for the save in win over Braves
Detroit manager A.J. Hinch gave Kyle Finnegan the ball in a save situation in the ninth inning instead of closer Kenley Jansen against the Atlanta Braves in a move that could signal changes at the back end of the Tigers’ bullpen. The decision came after Jansen’s third blown save in nine chances in Wednesday night’s 4-2 loss to the Braves as he gave up a two-run homer to Matt Olson. One day after Jansen’s blown save opportunity, Finnegan came through for his first save in the Tigers’ 5-2 come-from-behind win over Atlanta to avoid a series sweep.

Wings 95, Fever 80 – Caitlin Clark scores 21 points, gives the Fever a brief scare in her 1st home game in 9 months
Caitlin Clark’s first home game in more than nine months was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, she gave the Indiana Fever and fans a scare. Clark crumpled to the ground early in the third quarter when Dallas forward Alanna Smith collided with her leg on a shot attempt, and then limped toward the bench as she walked off the injury during a replay review that resulted in a Flagrant 1 call. The two-time All-Star then made two free throws before departing and watching the rest of the game from the bench. She finished with 21 points in a 95-80 loss to the Dallas Wings. Paige Bueckers scored 20 points in 20 minutes in a game featuring the WNBA’s last two Rookie of the Year Award winners.
Golf – LIV Golf isn’t the only sports property being reconsidered in investment strategy
The billionaires in Saudi Arabia are pulling the plug on LIV Golf. It won’t be the first mega sports project they’ve given up on recently. Over the last several weeks, the Saudis have bailed on a Winter Olympics-style sports festival and sold one of their best soccer teams, all while shifting the strategy of their multibillion-dollar investment fund that bankrolls it all. It follows an era in which the fund poured staggering sums of money into various sports ventures around the world. Soccer has been a centerpiece — the country is hosting the 2034 World Cup, while PIF owns a majority stake in Newcastle of the Premier League and bolsters the Saudi Pro League. The fund has also spent big on men’s and women’s pro tennis, Formula 1, boxing and more.
FIFA – Infantino affirms at the FIFA Congress that Iran will participate in the World Cup
FIFA President Gianni Infantino opened his address at the FIFA Congress by affirming that Iran will participate in the World Cup and that the team will play in the United States despite the conflict between the two nations. In an indication of how fraught the situation is with Iran’s participation in the tournament, representatives from the Iranian soccer federation were denied entry into Canada this week. Infantino also addressed ticket prices while Canadian officials basked in their role as hosts of the World Cup alongside the United States and Mexico. The World Cup starts on June 11 and the final is scheduled for July 19.
Prediction markets say they’re different from sportsbooks. addicts say it’s all the same
Clinicians who treat gambling disorders are concerned about their patients turning to prediction markets. Two gambling addicts who spoke to The Associated Press say they had relapses on prediction markets after they took legal action to protect themselves from the allure of sports betting. Their stories reflect what experts say they see with some of their clients. The rapid growth of prediction markets has sparked a high-stakes debate that is playing out in courts and legislatures all over the country. For clinicians and addicts, when it comes to sports betting and prediction markets, the end result is virtually the same.
Skiing –Vonn says she is not yet in position emotionally to decide if she will race again
Lindsey Vonn is still recovering physically and emotionally from her frightening crash at the Winter Olympics. She has undergone eight surgeries after suffering a complex left leg fracture — one that nearly led to amputation — in the women’s downhill skiing race on Feb. 8. And there is at least one more ahead to repair a torn ACL in that same knee. The 41-year-old Vonn tells The Associated Press that if she races again — and she’s not ready to make that decision — she thinks a return is at least a year and a half away. Vonn says she doesn’t want to rush into any decisions.
