BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler left the British Open with some frustration after another near miss in a major championship and traveled straight to Minnesota for his first appearance in the 3M Open. A week off after the last major of the season would have made sense for the world's top-ranked player, but Scheffler was focused on keeping his game sharp ahead of the FedEx Cup playoffs — and find some off-the-course respite for him and his supporting cast. "The people have been tremendous, the fans have been really nice to me so far, and the tournament seems to do a really ...

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees shortstop José Caballero was targeted by Major League Baseball for some pest control, sparking yet another squabble. Weary of Caballero's routine of waiting to acknowledge the pitcher just before the pitch clock reaches eight seconds, MLB told umpires Wednesday his regimen amounted to deception. Plate umpire Quinn Wolcott charged Caballero with a pitch-clock violation in the sixth inning that led to a strikeout and the ejection of hitting coach James Rowson as New York lost a doubleheader opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 in 10 ...
