Sunday’s quiz
Tony Bennett’s father Dick Bennett got to the 2000 Final Four coaching what team?

Saturday’s quiz
Colts were based in Baltimore before moving to Indianapolis.

Friday’s quiz
Joey Gallo was a Little League teammate of Bryce Harper in Las Vegas.

*****************************

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……

13) Texas Tech 75, Gonzaga 69— Red Raiders make their first-ever trip to the Final Four. Gonzaga was in Elite 8 for third time in five years; they’re 1-2 in Elite 8 games.

It is easy to sit here and say that Texas Tech was toughened up by playing in a better league than Gonzaga plays in— Zags thrash everyone in their league every year. Not sure thats why Tech won this game, but they’re athletic as hell and they play very good defense.

Red Raiders also lost five of their top seven players from last year’s team; to make the Final Four with that much turnover on your roster is very impressive.

12) This trend has legs, but I’m not sure why. Over the last 22 years, underdogs are now 18-4 vs spread in the final of the West Region, 13-9 SU.

11) Virginia 80, Purdue 75 OT— Tremendous game. Damn shame someone had to lose.

Purdue’s Carsen Edwards scored 42 points, with no assists; not sure why he passed the ball on their last possession, but he threw the ball away. Amazing shooting performance.

Over the last 40 years, Purdue has had only two basketball coaches, Gene Keady, Matt Painter; Drake and Siena have had three coaches the last three years.

Solid lookalike submitted by The Professor: Matt Painter and WWE’s Shane McMahon.

10) Auburn F Chuma Okeke tore his ACL, is having surgery Tuesday, very bad news for Auburn’s hopes of going to the Final Four.

9) When the 3-point shot became a thing in the NBA for the 1979-80 season, there were players in the NBA who believed that 3-pointers should only be allowed in the 4th quarter, and kind of a come-from-behind gimmick.

Was funny reading that this week, seeing how prominent 3-pointers have become in both pro and college basketball.

8) Regional finals with teams from same league, last 10 years:2017: South Carolina (+3) 77, Florida 70
2016: North Carolina (-6.5) 88, Notre Dame 74
Syracuse (+6.5) 68, Virginia 62
2013: Syracuse (-2.5) 55, Providence 39

Auburn-Kentucky play in a regional final today.

7) Nebraska hired Fred Hoiberg as basketball coach, will pay him $3.57M a year, thats 3rd-highest salary in Big 14, 11th-highest in country.

6) Lakers will sit Lebron James down for the last six games of what has been a forgettable 34-42 season.

LA Clippers are 12-2 in March, the NBA’s best record this month.

5) Detroit Tigers lost 3-0 Saturday; they’ve lost two of their first three games, with only runs they’ve scored so far this week in 10th inning Thursday. So in three games, Detroit hasn’t scored yet in innings 1-9. Oy.

4) There is a gambling thing in Las Vegas that is a little weird; in NCAA tourney games, you can bet on which team will get to 15 points first. Random wager to create more action.

I was at the MGM Grand for the 2010 NCAA’s, and I’m watching Northern Iowa, and some kid makes a basket- the three young guys next to me start jumping up and down and hugging each other. I actually asked them if the kid that scored was their brother.

They explained that they won their “first to 15” bet. Had never heard of it before. If you had a lot of extra time, you could research all that, but not even I would enjoy researching all that.

3) When Jacob deGrom/Max Scherzer both struck out 10+ guys Thursday, it was only the second time EVER that both starters struck out 10+ on Opening Day.

Back in 1970 in an Orioles-Indians opener, Dave McNally and Sam McDowell both struck out 10+, and McNally wasn’t a big strikeout guy.

2) Crowds at Rockies-Marlins in Miami? 6,503 Friday, 7,642 Saturday.

Colorado’s Daniel Murphy broke a finger on his left hand Friday, is going on the DL.

1) Diamondbacks 5, Dodgers 4 (13)— This Friday night game lasted until 4:13am Saturday morning; at one point, the home plate ump got drilled in the mask by a pitch that totally crossed up the catcher- he left the game couple innings later, after the 11th inning.

This was longest regular season game, in terms of time, in Dodger Stadium history.

LEADING OFF: Corbin debuts with Nats, Harper in the swing
March 30, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Sunday:

$140 MILLION MAN

Patrick Corbin begins earning the $140 million contract he signed with the Nationals, making his first start for his new team against the visiting Mets. The 29-year-old lefty was considered the top starting pitcher on the free agent market and got a six-year deal to slot in behind Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg. The Nationals couldn't win behind either Scherzer or Strasburg in the first two games of the season, though, and they'll be hoping Corbin can prevent a sweep and an 0-3 start.

After have to fight for his roster spot throughout spring training, Mets rookie slugger Pete Alonso is fast rewarding New York for giving him the job at first base. Alonso had three hits Saturday in an 11-8 win and is 4 for 8 in his first two big league games. Criticized often for his glove work as a minor leaguer, Alonso even made two nifty stretch plays at first in his second game. Zack Wheeler tries to pitch the Mets to 3-0.

BRYCE ON THE BOARD

Bryce Harper and the Phillies conclude their first series a day after he hit a mammoth home run and got a rather enthusiastic curtain call for the second game of the season. Harper's homer was projected to 465 feet, traveling well into the second deck in right-center field at Citizens Bank Park. The crowd responded with a long ovation, including the Phillie Phanatic, who wore cleats bearing Harper's face after Harper did the same for the green, fuzzy mascot in his Phillies debut. RHP Jake Arrieta is scheduled to start for Philadelphia against Braves rookie RHP Kyle Wright.

It will be the first of the ESPN Sunday night telecasts that start an hour earlier this season.

LATE START

The Astros hope to get Carlos Correa back at shortstop after he missed the season's first three games with neck stiffness. Aledmys Diaz filled in for the first two games against Tampa Bay and made two errors. Alex Bregman slid over from third to short Saturday and hit his first homer of the season on his 25th birthday. Correa dealt with back pain throughout the 2018 season, setting career lows with a .239 average, 15 homers and a .728 OPS. Veteran lefty Wade Miley is slated to make his first start with the Astros after signing a $4.5 million, one-year free agent deal. Tampa Bay was expected to use an opener for the first time this season, but manager Kevin Cash said Saturday night that Yonny Chirinos will be used as a traditional starter instead.

WELCOME BACK

Twins RHP Michael Pineda will step onto a major league mound for the first time since July 5, 2017, when he was pitching for the Yankees. He had Tommy John surgery later that month, signed with the Twins in the offseason, and spent all of 2018 on the disabled list. Pineda pitched a team-high 20 1/3 innings in spring training and struck out 20. He'll face Cleveland RHP Carlos Carrasco, who is coming off a year in which he set a career high with 231 strikeouts in 192 innings.

ONE-SIDED WEEKEND

The Blue Jays and Tigers are set to finish a four-game series after each of the first three ended in a shutout. The Tigers won 2-0 on opening day, and the Blue Jays followed with 6-0 and 3-0 victories. Toronto threw just three shutouts all of last season, the fewest in the majors. Detroit was last with two. Matt Moore is set to make his first start with Detroit, and Trent Thornton is tabbed to make his major league debut for the Jays.

Tigers star Miguel Cabrera left Saturday's game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch. X-rays were negative.

By: Andrew Caley

Buehler was close to unhittable at Dodger Stadium in 2018, pitching to a 1.93 ERA and crazy good 0.83 WHIP in 12 starts and faces a thin Arizona lineup.

Our Double-Play Picks are off to a great start this season and we'll try to keep them rolling into Sunday as we look at some totals for a pair of National League matchups. We break down the odds for those, streaking starters, trends and give our best bets in our MLB Daily Line Drive.

DOUBLE-PLAY PICKS

COLORADO ROCKIES VS MIAMI MARLINS (+130, 7.5)

The Rockies and Marlins close out their four-game opening series Sunday in Miami. The Marlins will try to split the series after topping the Rockies 7-3 yesterday.

The Rockies took the first two games of the series, putting up six runs in each. Today, they go up against Marlins young right-hander Sandy Alcantara.

Alcantara was called up to make six starts last season and pitched to an impressive 3.44 ERA. However, Alcantara got a little lucky, as his WHIP was 1.42. And more importantly, three of those starts came against the Mets. Who were one of the worst hitting teams in baseball, especially late in the season.

He also has issues with control, issuing 23 walks in 34 innings pitched. Even with Daniel Murphy now sidelined for the next little while, the Rockies are deep enough to take advantage of this matchup.

Colorado counters with right-hander Jon Gray. Gray hasn’t exactly been the front-end of the rotation type guy the Rockies were hoping. In 2019, Gray finished with a 12-9 record with a 5.12 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP and funnily enough, those numbers didn’t improve away from the altitude of Coors Field, where his ERA ballooned to 5.34.

The Marlins definitely are not world beaters on offense, but they haven’t been as bad as expected (at least to this point) and should be able to contribute to the total here.

PREDICTION: Over 7.5

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS VS LOS ANGELES DODGERS (-215, 7.5)

National League West rivals Arizona and Los Angeles close out a four-game set Sunday at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers offense has gotten off to a ridiculously hot start this season, scoring 34 runs in their first three games. We guess they haven’t missed Manny Machado all that much.

Today the Dodgers lineup go up against Luke Weaver. Weaver, who was one of the pieces of the Paul Goldschmidt trade makes his D-backs debut. Weaver struggled a bit in the second half last season, as the Cardinals kept flipping him back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen.

However, Weaver did show improvement over his last eight starts, pitching to a 3.57 ERA and a 1.41 ERA and he will have a chance to find success with a defined role in the D-backs rotation.

The Dodgers counter with rising star Walker Buehler. The 24-year-old right hander might be the best starter in the Dodgers rotation right now, even if Clayton Kershaw was healthy.

Buehler was close to unhittable at Dodger Stadium in 2018, pitching to a 1.93 ERA and crazy good 0.83 WHIP in 12 starts and faces a thin Arizona lineup.

PREDICTION: Under 4.5 first five innings

Yesterday's picks: 2-0
Season to date: 5-1

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Zack Wheeler, New York Mets (2018: 12-7, 3.31 ERA, $268): While Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard get most of the headlines when it comes to starting pitching for the Mets, Wheeler definitely can’t be overlooked.

Wheeler was outstanding for the Mets down the stretch. New York won 11 of his final 13 starts with him pitching to a 2.16 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He also limited opponents to a .199 batting average and a .541 OPS. Wheeler and the Mets go for the series sweep this afternoon in Washington. New York is a +135 favorite with a total of 7.5.

SLUMPING

Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles (2018: 8-16, 5.45 ERA, $-1,313): The Orioles are coming off a brutal year which really seemed to get to Bundy by the end of the season. Over Bundy’s last 10 starts of 2018, the Orioles went 1-9, while he pitched to an 8.05 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP. Opponent’s thumped Bundy for a .329 average and a 1.004 OPS.

The 26-year-old right hander is far more talented than his numbers suggests, but he’ll be in tough today at Yankee Stadium. The Yanks are once again massive -345 home favorites in this series with a total of 8.5.

Yelich powers Brewers' comeback vs. Cards
March 31, 2019
By The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE (AP) Christian Yelich hit his fourth homer in the first inning and a two-run double in the ninth, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a dramatic 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

Ben Gamel led off the ninth with a pinch-hit double and advanced on Lorenzo Cain's infield single off reliever Jordan Hicks' glove. Yelich then hit a liner into the gap in left-center, driving in Gamel and Cain.

Yelich tossed his helmet in the air in celebration as Cain slid face first across the plate, giving Milwaukee three wins in its opening four-game set against rival St. Louis. Yelich's teammates rushed the field and doused the reigning NL MVP with Gatorade in a raucous celebration at second.

Yelich began his day with a long drive into the second deck in right against Michael Wacha, tying the major league record for homers in consecutive games to start a season. He also became the first player to win the MVP award and then homer in his first four games of the next season.

Paul Goldschmidt, Matt Carpenter and Paul DeJong homered for St. Louis, but Hicks (0-1) blew his first save opportunity of the season. Wacha struck out seven while pitching six innings of one-run ball.

Jacob Barnes (1-0) worked the ninth for the win.

PHILLIES 5, BRAVES 1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bryce Harper homered for the second straight game to cap a fantastic debut weekend and Philadelphia completed a three-game sweep of Atlanta.

Harper connected on a solo shot to right off Shane Carle in the seventh inning that had the crowd resuming its ''MVP!'' chants from a day earlier and the Phillie Phanatic dancing atop the dugout. Carle then drilled cleanup hitter Rhys Hoskins on the left shoulder and was ejected from the game, and Phillies fans taunted him with a mock tomahawk chop.

The sweep was complete - and it's time for an early reunion.

Harper, the hit of the city, is back on familiar turf this week when the Phillies head to Washington for a two-game set with the Nationals.

Jake Arrieta (1-0) walked six, struck out six and allowed a run in six innings. Kyle Wright (0-1) was chased after 4 1/3 innings with five walks and a hit batter.

MARINERS 10, RED SOX 8

SEATTLE (AP) - Omar Narvaez hit a three-run homer off Rick Porcello in Seattle's seven-run third inning.

Dee Gordon had two hits and three RBIs as Seattle put together another impressive performance at the plate. The Mariners scored 34 times while taking three of four from the defending World Series champions in their first series at home.

Jay Bruce also connected for Seattle, and Mitch Haniger had two hits and two RBIs. The Mariners have 15 homers so far, hitting at least one in each of their six games.

J.D. Martinez homered and drove in four runs for Boston. Porcello (0-1) allowed nine runs, four earned, and six hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Mariners starter Wade LeBlanc (1-0) allowed six runs, four earned, and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

NATIONALS 6, METS 5

WASHINGTON (AP) - Trea Turner homered twice, including a game-ending solo shot, and Washington beat New York for its first win of the season.

Turner earlier hit a three-run homer and also scored in the fifth to put the Nationals up 4-1. They let a 5-2 lead evaporate in the eighth before Turner ended it with a drive off Justin Wilson (0-1).

Sean Doolittle (1-0) got the win despite allowing successive RBI singles in the Mets eighth.

Patrick Corbin gave up two runs and seven hits over six innings in his Washington debut. Corbin spent six seasons in Arizona before signing a $140 million, six-year deal with the Nationals last offseason.

ORIOLES 7, YANKEES 5

NEW YORK (AP) - Renato Nunez, Trey Mancini and Joey Rickard hit Baltimore's first home runs of the year, and the Orioles beat the Yankees in a game delayed more than three hours by rain.

Coming off a 115-loss season under Buck Showalter, the Orioles and new manager Brandon Hyde opened by taking two of three from the 100-win Yankees. Baltimore hadn't won two in a row since August.

DJ LeMahieu hit an RBI single with two outs in the Yankees ninth off Mychal Givens. Paul Fry relieved with two on and two outs and struck out pinch hitter Troy Tulowitzki for his first save.

New York's J.A. Happ (0-1) allowed four runs in four innings.

John Means (1-0) replaced shaky starter Dylan Bundy and got the win in his second major league game.

PADRES 3, GIANTS 1

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Manny Machado drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded grounder for San Diego in the seventh inning.

Chris Paddack struck out seven in five impressive innings in his major league debut. Four pitchers combined on a two-hitter for the Padres, who took three of four from the Giants.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy had Nick Vincent (0-1) walk Eric Hosmer to load the bases with one out in the seventh, bringing up Machado. Sam Dyson came on, and Machado grounded to shortstop Brandon Crawford. He got the force at second, but Machado beat Joe Panik's relay to first as Hunter Renfroe scored.

Adam Warren (1-0) pitched two hitless innings for his first win with San Diego. Kirby Yates pitched the ninth for his third save.

RANGERS 11, CUBS 10

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Joey Gallo scored on a wild pitch in the ninth inning, sending the Rangers to the win.

With one out in the ninth and the Cubs playing five infielders, Gallo raced home from third base when Pedro Strop's pitch to Nomar Mazara bounced past catcher Willson Contreras.

The Rangers took the series after the Cubs' 12-4 victory on opening day. Jose Leclerc (1-0) got four outs for the win.

Strop (0-1) allowed Gallo's leadoff double in the ninth, a high drive just over leaping left fielder Ben Zobrist at the wall.

Delino DeShields hit his first career grand slam for Texas. Jeff Mathis and Asdrubal Cabrera also went deep.

Kyle Schwarber and Anthony Rizzo homered for Chicago.

RAYS 3, ASTROS 1

ST PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Yonny Chirinos covered splendidly for a taxed bullpen, Austin Meadows hit his second homer and Tampa Bay took three of four games from Houston.

The Rays had planned to use an opener for the first time this season, but manager Kevin Cash instead turned to the 25-year-old Chirinos (1-0) rather than push his fatigued relievers. Chirinos pitched seven innings of one-run ball. The only run came on Jake Marisnick's homer in the sixth.

Diego Castillo, the fourth Tampa Bay reliever, closed out a three-hitter with three outs in the ninth. None of those relievers threw more than 17 pitches.

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa was hitless in his season debut. He missed the first three games with neck stiffness. Wade Miley (0-1) made his first start and allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings.

WHITE SOX 6, ROYALS 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Lucas Giolito took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in his first start of the season, and Chicago avoided a three-game sweep.

Giolito (1-0) walked Whit Merrifield on four pitches to begin the game, but then retired 19 straight before Alex Gordon's single with one out in the seventh. Gordon fouled off four consecutive pitches before lining a curve ball into center field.

Yonder Alonso preserved the no-hitter with a diving stop in the sixth, and he and Jose Abreu homered on consecutive pitches in the fourth off starter Jorge Lopez (0-1).

Alex Colome pitched a perfect ninth for his first save.

TWINS 9, INDIANS 3

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Nelson Cruz hit his first homer with Minnesota, and Michael Pineda was stellar in his first pitching appearance since 2017.

Pineda had Tommy John surgery after his previous start July 5, 2017 while with the New York Yankees, and this was his first time back on a big league mound. Pineda pitched four scoreless innings, striking out five with one hit and one walk. Martin Perez (1-0) followed with 3 2/3 innings of three-run ball.

Cruz, Byron Buxton and Willians Astudillo each drove in two runs for the Twins.

Carlos Santana had four hits for the Indians, including a three-run double. Cleveland hitters struck out 39 times in the three-game series. Carlos Carrasco (0-1) allowed six runs and struck out four in 4 1/3 innings.

DODGERS 8, DIAMONDBACKS 7

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A.J. Pollock hit a key two-run double during the Dodgers' eighth-inning rally.

Pollock tied it at 7 with a shot down the line against Yoshihisa Hirano (0-1) and advanced to third when right fielder Adam Jones misplayed the ball. Pollock, a former Diamondback who signed with Los Angeles this offseason, scored on Max Muncy's sacrifice fly.

Cody Bellinger hit his fourth homer for the Dodgers. Dylan Floro (1-0), the sixth Los Angeles pitcher, got the win and Kenley Jansen earned his first save.

Ketel Marte and Nick Ahmed each had two hits and two RBIs for the Diamondbacks. Luke Weaver homered in his first game with Arizona but allowed five runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings.

TIGERS 4, BLUE JAYS 3, 11 INNINGS

TORONTO (AP) - Nicholas Castellanos singled home the go-ahead run in the 11th inning, Jeimer Candelario had five hits and Detroit defeated Toronto after blowing a late lead.

Castellanos' decisive hit came off Thomas Pannone (0-1), the eighth Blue Jays pitcher, and the Tigers salvaged a split of the four-game series.

Candelario drove in two runs and Daniel Stumpf (1-0) pitched one inning for the win. Toronto put a runner at third in the 11th but Shane Greene got Teoscar Hernandez to line out for his second save.

Trailing 3-0 in the eighth, the Blue Jays tied it against Joe Jimenez when pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez hit a three-run homer.

The drive undid seven shutout innings of two-hit ball by starter Matt Moore in his Detroit debut. The left-hander lost his no-hit bid with one out in the sixth when Richard Urena singled.

MARLINS 3, ROCKIES 0

MIAMI (AP) - Sandy Alcantara pitched eight crisp innings for Miami, and Jorge Alfaro drove in two runs.

Alcantara (1-0) allowed four hits in his longest outing in 15 major league appearances. The 23-year-old right-hander retired 14 straight before Ryan McMahon reached on a two-out infield single in the seventh.

Sergio Romo retired three in a row for his first save with the Marlins, finishing a five-hitter.

Colorado right-hander Jon Gray departed after he felt cramps in his right calf after a pitch to Alcantara with two out in the seventh. Gray (0-1) struck out 10 and was charged with three runs and five hits.

PIRATES 5, REDS 0

CINCINNATI (AP) - Trevor Williams pitched six effective innings and drove in two runs, helping Pittsburgh beat sloppy Cincinnati.

Williams picked up where he left off last season, when he was the only major leaguer to make 10 starts of at least six innings without allowing a run. The right-hander gave up three hits, struck out six and walked one.

Adam Frazier and Melky Cabrera each had two hits as Pittsburgh earned its first win of the season after losing 5-3 on opening day Thursday. Saturday's game was postponed by rain.

Sonny Gray (0-1) struggled in his Cincinnati debut, allowing three runs, two earned, and five hits in 2 2/3 innings.

ATHLETICS 2, ANGELS 1

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Oakland slugger Khris Davis homered for the fourth time in six games, and Frankie Montas pitched into the seventh inning.

Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman had two hits apiece for the A's, who took three of four from the Angels after getting swept by Seattle in a two-game series in Tokyo to start the season.

Montas (1-0) allowed three hits in a splendid outing. He gave up a leadoff double and hit Mike Trout with a pitch to begin the game, and then retired 16 straight batters before Kole Calhoun homered in the sixth.

Davis hit his third home run in four days, a towering shot off starter Tyler Skaggs (0-1) leading off the fourth. He led the majors with 48 home runs in 2018.

Blake Treinen worked the ninth for his second save.
