May 17, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas (39) pitches against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Mandatory Credit: William Purnell-Imagn Images Miles Mikolas pitched six strong innings and Jordan Walker’s sixth-inning homer provided the lone run Saturday night as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals topped the struggling Kansas City Royals 1-0 to win for the 12th time in 13 games.
Ivan Herrera’s fifth-inning single and Walker’s drive were the only hits St. Louis could muster, as Kansas City starter Noah Cameron (1-1) delivered a second straight strong start to begin his major league career while also making his home debut.
Meanwhile, Mikolas (3-2) yielded just two hits and two walks and maintained control for the Cardinals, who also got two solid relief innings from Kyle Leahy and a perfect ninth from Ryan Helsley (nine saves) to clinch the usually intense I-70 Series.
Cameron, a native of nearby St. Joseph, Mo., lasted 6 1/3 innings after going the same distance April 30, when he yielded his only hit in the seventh inning of a 3-0 victory at Tampa Bay in his big-league debut. On Saturday, the Royals were held to four hits — three singles — while losing for the sixth time in seven games following an impressive 16-2 stretch.
The highly touted Cameron, who was called up from Triple-A Omaha after originally scheduled starter Seth Lugo was placed on the injured list due to finger inflammation, cruised into the sixth inning. That’s when one bad pitch resulted in the first run yielded in his big-league career.
Walker, who entered batting .186, sent a Cameron pitch well over the left-center field wall for his first home run since April 13.
Kansas City’s best threat came in the eighth inning when Drew Waters led off with a single and went to second on Kyle Isbel’s bunt single. But Jonathan India’s soft liner dropped in front of St. Louis second baseman Brendan Donovan, who tossed to second for a force, then the Cardinals got Waters out in a rundown between second and third.
Donovan then made a diving glove stop, leading to a force at second base for the final out of the frame.

Maple Leafs lineup vs. Panthers: Matthew Knies’ injury, other questions in Game 7
TORONTO — For the sixth time in the eight seasons, the Maple Leafs will play a Game 7. And this time, they’re hoping for a different result to keep their season alive and possibly change the narrative around this core once and for all.The Leafs have a 0-5 record in Game 7s since 2018, with three losses against the Boston Bruins and one loss each against the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. They also lost a deciding Game 5 to Columbus in 2020.AdvertisementThe challenge in front of them on Sunday night isn’t any easier: a Florida Panthers team whose core of Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov, Sergei Bobrovsky and others have won the only two Game 7s they’ve played — against the Bruins in 2023 (yikes) and the Edmonton Oilers in last year’s Stanley Cup Final (double yikes).Will history be the […]
Detroit Tigers Are MLB’s Most Surprising Juggernaut
When it came to the Detroit Tigers, seeing was disbelieving — at least in the eyes of the oddsmakers and sports bettors.Detroit’s stunning rally to grab an American League wild-card spot and then eliminate Houston in the playoffs last year seemed like a mirage. A typical All-Star player made more than the combined salaries of the Tigers’ entire playoff roster. In the games that Tarik Skubal didn’t start, manager A.J. Hinch pieced together bullpen games like someone trying to restore a broken vase with superglue. Their lineup, with the possible exception of outfielder Riley Greene, scared no one. There was plenty of skepticism that the Tigers’ smoke-and-mirrors approach could work for a full season. Entering this season’s opener, the Tigers had the ninth-best odds of winning the American League pennant. Perceptions have changed quickly during the first seven weeks of […]

Tostão elege melhor time do mundo hoje no futebol
Tostão em entrevista à Folha de S. Paulo (Reprodução - YouTube) Tostão voltou a reafirmar que o Barcelona é o melhor time do futebol mundial na atualidade, durante texto opinativo publicado na Folha de S. Paulo neste sábado (17). A fala em questão se deu durante a repercussão do título do Campeonato Espanhol, conquistado nesta semana. De forma sucinta, o ex-jogador enalteceu a equipe blaugrana, sem deixar de citar o protagonismo do jovem Lamine Yamal, que se mostrou decisivo no clássico local contra o Espanyol, sendo o autor da pintura que deu a vitória aos visitantes, coroando assim a conquista nacional.

Flamengo e Botafogo em duelo do Carioca - Divulgação Flamengo x Botafogo se enfrentam neste domingo (18), às 18h30 (de Brasília), no estádio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, pela nona rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Na avaliação de Milton Neves, o confronto de logo mais tende a ser bastante movimentado. Em coluna publicada no UOL, o jornalista, porém, aposta em um empate entre Rubro-Negro e Fogão.

Mercury’s Kahleah Copper (knee) out 4-6 weeks
Kahleah Copper takes questions from reporters at Phoenix Mercury Media Day on April 30, 2025, in Phoenix. The Phoenix Mercury will be without guard/forward Kahleah Copper for four to six weeks to start the season. The team announced Saturday that Copper underwent an arthroscopic procedure on her left knee. The Mercury also said forward/center Natasha Mack will miss two to three weeks with a lower back injury. Copper, 30, is a four-time WNBA All-Star and led the Mercury in scoring last season with 21.1 points in her first season in Phoenix. That put her third in the WNBA behind A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces (26.9 ppg) and Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings (22.2 ppg). She was expected to provide veteran leadership for the Mercury this season after the retirement of franchise icon Diana Taurasi and the departure […]
