KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cole Ragans struck out 11 in six sharp innings and Nick Loftin had a career-high four RBIs as the Kansas City Royals routed the Los Angeles Angels 12-1 on Saturday night.
Ragans (1-4) allowed one run and five hits. It was the 15th quality start this season for the Royals, who entered the day tied for second in the majors in that category.
The left-hander had runners on second and third with one out in the second but got consecutive strikeouts to end the inning. The lone blemish for Ragans was a solo home run by Jo Adell in the fourth.

Marcus Smart was perhaps as heroic as he has ever been during the Los Angeles Lakers‘ Game 3 win in their first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets on Friday. However, according to the NBA, he made a key mistake in crunch time that wasn’t called by the referees who were working the contest.
With less than 30 seconds left, the Lakers trailed 101-95 and seemed to be on their way to their first loss of the series. Smart then stole the ball from Jabari Smith Jr. in the backcourt and was fouled while attempting a 3-pointer.

Growing up in Philadelphia without a father and having an older brother who was in-and-out of jail, Richard Gadson admits it would have been easy for him to pursue a criminal life had it not been for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program that set him on the right path.

Luciano delivers again, and São Paulo win again in the Brasileirão
At Brinco de Ouro da Princesa, in Campinas, São Paulo beat Mirassol 1-0 this Saturday (25), in the 13th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
Tricolor Paulista controlled the action in the first half, although most of their 13 shots did not hit the target guarded by Walter.
Leão Caipira, in turn, threatened with a dangerous shot from Reinaldo and had a goal disallowed for Alesson’s offside.
Luciano and Artur were São Paulo’s main attacking threats, while Mirassol had a good chance through André Luis.

There’s no time for Alex Cora to file for unemployment.
He might not even have time to get back to Fenway Park to clean out his office.
Cora, who was fired Saturday by the Boston Red Sox, is going to be managing again, and quickly.
Who knows, he could be managing the Philadelphia Phillies by the time they return home Tuesday to face the San Francisco Giants, and yes, former Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers.
The Phillies, of course, already have a manager in Rob Thomson.
