Two hot teams in the NL Central matchup tonight as the Cardinals host the Brewers in St. Louis.
After starting the season slowly, the Cardinals are now starting to click, winning six of their last seven games, including a three-game sweep of the Red Sox over the weekend. Through the first two weeks of May, the Cardinals have scored the fifth-most runs per game (5.58) and they will be looking to stretch their win streak to four at home tonight.
The Brewers are also coming in on a three-game win streak vs. the Royals. Milwaukee is averaging 4.

In the wake of Ja Morant’s latest incident featuring a handgun, 2001 No. 1 NBA draft pick Kwame Brown posted a nearly five-minute long scathing NSFW video ripping the Grizzlies star. 
“I’ve heard of NBA YoungBoy, but you NBA dumb boy,” Brown said in the video, which can be watched here. “You got to be the dumbest mother—-er in the league.” 
Morant was suspended for eight games in March when he was seen flashing a gun at a Colorado night club on his own Instagram Live stream.

1. I’m a fan of MLB’s in-game interviews and would love to see more of them. It’s especially cool when a ball gets hit to a player who is mid-interview, and we get to hear their authentic reactions.

I do think the in-game interview should be kept light and fun. ESPN’s Karl Ravech seems to differ on that philosophy, because here’s what he asked Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas, who was miked up for ESPN’s St.

The college athletics world has seen its share of bad news over the past year, whether it be the tragic loss of life at Alabama and Georgia, or players getting into trouble. In the case of who’s to blame, Charles Barkley feels it shouldn’t go towards the coaches.
There are arguments on both sides this topic, with a number of examples. The tragedy at Georgia, when sophomore lineman Devin Willock lost his life, along with Bulldogs staffer Chandler LeCroy, in a car crash after Georgia celebrated its national championship hits hard.

The Suns parted ways with coach Monty Williams on Saturday night, two days after the team’s second-round playoff exit, but the 2021 NBA Coach of the Year already appears to have employment opportunities for next season.
Three teams already are interested in pursuing Williams, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania: the Bucks, Pistons and Raptors.
Charania reported that Williams still has three years and $21 million left on his Suns contract, so other teams must request permission to contact him.

Former winner John Daly has withdrawn from the PGA Championship, tournament organizers said Monday, and will be replaced in the field by German Stephan Jaeger.

Veteran quarterback Matt Ryan has joined CBS Sports as an NFL analyst, the network said Monday.

On-field, in-game interviews have become rather prevalent across the sports landscape. They work well during baseball games because there’s so much down time. It’s a cool insight into a player’s mind while the game is being played. But ESPN decided that was a good time to ask Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas about his dead mother. On Mother’s Day.
ESPN mic’d up Casas for Sunday Night Baseball between the Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. At one point, it yielded some pretty positive results.

Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie prepares you for the week ahead with pitchers to stream, strategy to get stolen bases and more.

Whichever NBA team wins the right to draft Wembanyama in Tuesday night’s lottery (8 p.m. ET on ESPN) won’t just be getting his talent, it will be getting someone with a vision of how he wants his emerging career to unfold.
