Farm Supplies Courtland, KS – C & W Farm Supply

All eyes were on starters Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer at Progressive Field Sunday, and they both pitched well in their much-anticipated grudge match.

Yet in the end, unheralded outfielder Greg Allen emerged as the hero with a walkoff home run in the 14th inning to give Cleveland a 10-9 win over the Astros.

Cardinals at Brewers 2:10 p.m. ET — The Brewers are the surprise leaders in the NL Central, and the second-place Cardinals are trying to keep pace. Cards rigthty Luke Weaver (3-4, 4.31 ERA) has had three good outings since a rocky patch of starts in late April and early May. Left-hander Brent Suter (4-3, 4.56 ERA) gets the ball for the Brewers.

Left-hander Blaine Hardy relieved in the seventh and gave up a pair of hits and a walk. Hardy has been a fill-in starter for the Tigers’ depleted rotation and pitched into the sixth inning Sunday for a 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Joey Votto received his 2017 Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s Athlete of the Year, the second time he’s won it. Ferguson Jenkins and Larry Walker are the other baseball players to win it.

Tigers: Right-handed reliever Drew VerHagen was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a broken nose suffered Tuesday night when he was hit by a thrown ball while covering first base. Right-handed reliever Johnny Barbato was called up from Triple-A Toledo. He gave up Duvall’s homer in the eighth.

Reds: Manager Jim Riggleman and the training staff are developing a rehab plan for starter Homer Bailey, who has been sidelined since June 2 with a sore right knee. He’s 1-7 with a 6.68 ERA.

Robbie Ray, Arizona Diamondbacks (ADP of 56.3, 86.2 percent rostered): Arizona continues to be very careful with Ray, who went on the disabled list at the end of April with a strained right oblique. Ray threw 66 pitches on Tuesday at Triple-A Reno in his second rehab start and may or may not be back with the D-backs next week. Shelby Miller (Tommy John surgery) will finally be back on Monday, so with all of the buzz surrounding his return, Ray’s recent progress may not be on his fantasy manager’s radar. I’d try and get a potential top-20 SP the rest of the way on my roster before it does.

Broncos G.M. John Elway would love to play a round of golf with Tiger Woods at Augusta.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott sprang for a private jet to take his offensive linemen on a fishing trip.

Former Giants C Shaun O’Hara thinks QB Eli Manning could have a career year in 2018.

For how long will the Eagles be able to keep defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz?

The report also points to the notion that Sly recanted his claims of HGH use by Manning only after being visited by persons working for Manning, suggesting that this is a new revelation. It’s not; that information was first revealed by the Washington Post in February 2016.

Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins had a rather unique approach to his media session on Wednesday when he chose not to answer any questions, but instead held signs in front of reporters with messages of you’re not listening and numerous statistics about the criminal justice system he and other NFL players are looking to reform.

In an interview with Tim McManus of ESPN.com Wednesday night, Jenkins said the motivation for the display was his desire to focus on the issues they’re protesting for and not the divisive grandstanding the manner of their protests have generated.

The injury has continued to keep Klein limited throughout offseason workouts but he believes he’ll be ready to go for the start of training camp next month.

Jenkins hoped his use of signs could focus the message on their efforts to improve society instead.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are ditching their bumble bee throwback uniforms for something with a more 1970s feel.

The Falcons say it’s no big deal, even as they talk constantly about the importance building camaraderie and trust in each other during the voluntary offseason workouts, a big part of coach Dan Quinn’s much-ballyhooed Brotherhood .

Jones said his absence has nothing to do with any hard feelings toward the only team he’s played with in the NFL, but he’s vague about his reasons for staying away and it seems fairly obvious that he’s trying to send a message about his desire for a new contract.

Now, what the Titans’ defense with look like under Pees, that remains somewhat a mystery. Neither Pees nor the Titans are sharing many, if any, details right now. Oh, there’s been talk of showing different looks on the defensive line and being consistent in coverages.

But that’s about as much as Pees is willing to share.

I’d like to be more little more precise, but I really don’t want to talk about scheme particularly and what we’re doing, Pees said Wednesday when asked about coverage consistency.

The Titans made a change from Mike Mularkey to first-timer Mike Vrabel as head coach in January mostly to get more production from an offense led by young quarterback Marcus Mariota. Even though the Titans were the AFC’s best against the run and allowed a league-fewest five touchdowns rushing and tied for fifth in sacks, they still have plenty of room for improvement on defense.

Maybe because the Titans were so good against the run, they faced more passes than any other defense in the NFL. They also gave up the most first downs through the air last season. The Titans ranked 25th defending the pass, giving up 239.3 yards per game, and 17th in points allowed. Despite Byard intercepting eight passes, Tennessee finished with 12 interceptions overall — tied for 18th in the league.
