LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Yuka Saso became a U.S. Women’s Open champion for the second time Sunday and took her place in history with a rare footnote — the first Filipino to win the Women’s Open in 2021, and now the first from Japan. No matter the flag, the 22-year-old Saso delivered a masterful performance at Lancaster Country Club with a 2-under 68. She ran off four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the back nine amid a series of collapses and won without much drama. Minjee Lee, who led by three shots on the front nine, came undone with a tee shot into the water on the par-3 12th the first of tw ..read more

So there’s no reason to rush anything.” Miller made his second start on a minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturda ..read more

SEATTLE — The Angels are hoping that this version of Ben Joyce is better than the one they last saw in the big leagues. The Angels recalled the hard-throwing right-hander on Sunday, putting him on the roster in place of demoted starter Reid Detmers. Although manager Ron Washington said earlier in the week that the Angels still wanted to see Joyce throw more strikes at Double-A, the decision with Detmers opened up a spot for him. “He’s a young kid with a strong arm that just didn’t know exactly, at that time, how to use it,” Washington said, referring to Joyce’s 2023 in the majors and 2024 in s ..read more
