Integrity, MLB announced Tuesday, is as fluid as the passing of time.
In a landmark judgment, commissioner Rob Manfred removed MLB’s all-time hits leader, Pete Rose, deadball icon “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and 15 other deceased transgressors from the league’s permanently ineligible list. The verdict means Rose, banned in 1989 for betting on major-league games, is now eligible for enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time.
“In my view, once an individual has passed away, the purposes of Rule 21 have been served,” Manfred said in a statement announcing the decision.
ATLANTA (AP) — Drake Baldwin hit a two-run homer, Spencer Schwellenbach pitched seven strong innings and the Atlanta Braves improved to .500 for the first time this season with a 5-2 win over the skidding Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
The Braves (21-21), who began the season 0-7, handed the Nationals their seventh straight loss.
Baldwin was 3 for 4 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Austin Riley was 2 for 4 with an RBI.
Atlanta native CJ Abrams homered on the first pitch of the game from Schwellenbach (2-3), who kept the Nationals in check from there.
Region 2-4A semifinals: Eau Gallie 10, Tavares 0
Eau Gallie advanced to the Region 2-4A final after picking up a shutout win over Tavares in the semifinals.
The Commodores never trailed in the game and scored early after Jordan Stout drove in the first run of the night in the opening inning. Eau Gallie scored two more runs in the inning to build an early 3-0 lead.
In the third inning, an RBI from Gabriella Barrera extended the Commodores’ lead and the team would go on to score one run in the fourth inning and four runs in the fifth inning to end the game.
CLEVELAND — Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, hitting six 3-pointers and dishing out eight assists to lead the Pacers to a 114-105 win over the Cavs in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night in Rocket Arena taking a 4-1 series win and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the second straight season.
The Pacers await either the Knicks or Celtics. The Knicks have a 3-1 lead in that series. The Pacers won all three road games they played in the series.
Pascal Siakam added 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Touted Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki landed on the injured list Tuesday with right shoulder impingement.
The right-hander is 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA in eight starts. He has 24 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .225 average.
The 23-year-old from Japan joined the Dodgers in January after spending the last four years with the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Nippon Professional Baseball League.
It’s the latest blow to the Dodgers’ rotation.
