The Indianapolis 500 was over for Scott McLaughlin before it even began.
McLaughlin crashed out of the race on the pace laps as he was warming up his tires. McLaughlin’s car skidded across the frontstretch on the cold track and smashed into the inside wall before Turn 1. His car eventually came to rest in the infield with a broken front wing and suspension.

The Team Penske driver was distraught after climbing from the car and had to gather himself while crouched to the ground.
The former Australian Supercars driver is in his fifth full-time season in the IndyCar Series. He has scored seven wins over 72 races and was a favorite to win the race from the fourth row. McLaughlin had a chance to compete for pole but crashed violently in practice before the final round of qualifying.
That was the start of what was a bad day for Team Penske. All three of its cars had qualified in the top 12 and had a chance to race for the pole. But McLaughlin never made an attempt because of the crash and Will Power and Josef Newgarden’s cars were disqualified because of a technical infraction and forced to start the race on the last row. The infraction led to the dismissals of three Team Penske employees, including longtime executive Tim Cindric.

As McLaughlin crashed, Scott Dixon had a brake fire on his car that appeared to eventually dissipate. The six-time IndyCar champion is searching for his second Indianapolis 500 win.
With the race delayed by rain before McLaughlin’s crash, the IndyCar Series started counting laps before the race officially went green. Once it did, Jack Harvey hit Marco Andretti as they went into Turn 1 and Andretti’s race ended in the first corner as he hit the wall.

Ryan O’Hearn powers Orioles over Red Sox with wild two-run Little League home run
The Baltimore Orioles might be one of the worst teams in MLB right now. But on Sunday, it was the Boston Red Sox who were doomed by a comedy of errors.In the final game of a four-game series, the Orioles beat the Red Sox 5-1 in Boston on Sunday, avoiding a series loss. And, unfortunately for the Red Sox, Baltimore sealed the game with a wild two-run Little League home run from designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn in the eighth inning.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThings went about as bad as they could have for Boston on this play: O'Hearn's hit went deep into right-center, where a miscommunication between Red Sox outfielders Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela led to an awkward attempt to get the ball into the infield.Rafaela eventually tossed the ball towards infielder Marcelo Mayer — who just got called up to the majors […]

Brad Marchand’s mid-game DQ Blizzard, Matthew Tkachuk’s revenge and more Hurricanes-Panthers notes
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — We’re going to take this off-day opportunity to be the bearers of bad news about a situation that, conservatively, is one of the five most interesting things to take place in the NHL’s Eastern Conference final this year.It is highly unlikely that Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand was actually eating a Dairy Queen Blizzard during the second intermission of his team’s 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 on Saturday.AdvertisementAfter the game, Marchand was talking to Sportsnet’s Kyle Bukauskas about Florida’s off-day trip in Raleigh, N.C., to, yes, Dairy Queen. At the end of the interview, Sportsnet cut to a split-screen of Marchand eating something with a spoon in the locker room ahead of the third period.Neither what he is eating nor the vessel he is eating it from is visible.

Alex Palou finally conquers oval track with first-ever Indianapolis 500 win
<!--> Alex Palou has become the first driver from Spain to win the Indianapolis 500 by holding off former Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Marcus Ericsson over the closing laps Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.Palou, who has won three IndyCar titles in four years — including the last two, came to the speedway with four wins through the first five races. But it was No. 6, "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," that he had circled on his calendar. Without an Indy 500 win, Palou said his career resume would never be complete. Ericsson, the 2022 Indy 500 winner, finished second for Andretti Global in a 1-2 finish for Honda. David Malukas was third for A.J.

Pastrňákův dárek k narozeninám. Vyhrál kanadské bodování MS
Pastrňák bodoval (stejně jako Červenka) ve všech osmi zápasech na právě skončeném turnaji. Ani jeho vynikající výkony ale Česku nestačily, a tak svěřenci Radima Rulíka místo obhajoby zlata obsadili konečné šesté místo.Připravujeme podrobnosti.
Nervy, úleva a první výhra na grandslamu. Kopřiva prošel čtyřhodinovým očistcem a umlčel ‚Copacabanu‘
Paříž (od našeho zpravodaje) - „Po průběhu zápasu přišla úleva. A byla to taky moje první pětisetová výhra,“ připomněl vítěz, na kterého se na kurt č.9 přišli podívat i prostějovský boss Miroslav Černošek, bývalá světová pětka Jiří Novák a mohutně fandila také atletická mistryně světa Šárka Kašpárková.„Je to určitě jeden z top momentů kariéry. Zatím si to ještě tolik neuvědomuju, i když je to klišé, které říkají všichni,“ usmíval se Kopřiva, jenž byl v úvodních dvou setech suverénní, jak se na hráče, který se konečně usídlil v první stovce, taky patří.Proti Monteirovi (130. na světě) hrajícímu levou rukou dokázal připravovat a proměňovat brejkboly. A fanoušci brazilského tenisty byli z jednostranného průběhu dost zaražení. Žádný brazilský karneval v hledišti se nekonal a všechno spělo k finiši. Jenže Kopřiva ve třetí sadě neproměnil brejkboly na 5:3 a soupeř do toho ještě šlápnul.Ve čtvrtém dějství nevyužil český antukář dokonce tři mečboly, z toho dva v tie breaku a z dvorce se pomalu stávala […]
