Alek Manoah has had a difficult start to the season, pitching to a 6.36 ERA in 13 starts this year. The starter was having such a tough time at the major league level that the Blue Jays sent him down to the Florida Complex League earlier this month.
After several weeks off, Manoah took the mound on Tuesday for the first time since getting demoted. However, instead of taking a step forward, Manoah struggled mightily against the Florida Complex League Yankees, allowing 11 runs on 10 hits and two home runs , getting pulled after just 2.2 innings pitched.

Keegan Bradley won the 2023 Travelers Championship on Sunday evening. For Bradley, it was a huge victory. He said he dreamed as a kid of winning this particular tournament. Not the U.S. Open. Not the Masters. The Travelers Championship. Because of that, CBS reporter Amanda Renner referred to him winning his “hometown event.”
The Travelers Championship is held in Cromwell, Connecticut. Not Hartford, as the broadcast often refers. I live in central Connecticut and attended the event on Friday. It’s a great event, honestly.

There are three teams with reported interest in Draymond Green as free agency approaches.
Draymond Green chose to enter NBA free agency when he turned down his $27.5 million player option for the 2023-2024 season. While the expectation around the league is Green will eventually return to the Golden State Warriors, there are a few teams reportedly preparing big-money offers in hopes of luring him away from the organization that drafted him.

But in the process, one Tigers fan has become the subject of memes from across the internet after appearing to get rejected while trying to celebrate with another fan.
The viral clip surfaced midway through the game after LSU wrapped up the fifth inning. ESPN cameras caught the fan leaning over to talk to a female fan, but she stopped him in his tracks, throwing her hand up.
Anyone who plans to attend the 2024 Olympics in Paris will not be able to drink alcohol at any of the competition venues. Well, regular fans that is, if someone pays to be a VIP then they’ll be able to consume some cold snacks at the Games.

French law prohibits the sale or distribution of alcohol in “stadiums, physical education rooms, gymnasiums” and other sports establishments.
OMAHA, Nebraska – Too often just after a team wins a championship, talk turns to “Dynasty.”
It happened after LSU beat Florida 18-4 on Monday night to capture the college baseball national title – its first since 2009 and seventh all-time for second only to USC with 12.
Careful. Sometimes disasters follow national titles quicker than dynasties.
