Top of the Morning: Red Sox beat sloppy Astros 6-1 to complete series sweep
By KEN POWTAK , Associated Press Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela had consecutive RBI singles in a six-run fourth inning filled with five Houston mistakes, Lucas Giolito pitched a season-high eight stellar innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Astros 6-1 on Sunday to complete a series sweep. Connor Wong added a sacrifice fly and Wilyer Abreu was credited with a sacrifice on a safety squeeze for an RBI during the inning, sending Boston to its third straight win over the AL West leaders and fourth in a row overall. Giolito (8-2) gave up the run on three hits with four strikeouts and a walk, eclipsing his previous season-high innings of 7 2/3 on July 4. Carlos Correa, acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, hit a homer for Houston, which has lost eight of 10. The game's first pitch was 11:38 a.m. EDT, the third time this season the Red Sox began a game in the morning. The others: their annual Patriots' Day game when they beat the White Sox and the Independence Day victory at the Nationals. Framber Valdez (11-5) gave up six runs, four earned, over six innings, ending his personal 10-game winning streak. He entered 10-0 with a 1.84 ERA in his previous 14 starts. Key moment During the fourth, Houston missed a cutoff on Story's run-scoring single, Valdez had a wild pitch, balked home a run and had Abreu's bunt go under his glove for an error. Yainer Diaz had a passed ball. Key stat Valdez hadn't allowed three runs in an inning since May 19. Up next Astros: RHP Jason Alexander (1-1, 7.36 ERA) is slated to start the opener of a three-game series at the Marlins on Monday. Red Sox: RHP Brayan Bello (7-5, 3.19) is set to start the first of three against the Royals on Monday.

Titans coach Brian Callahan calls out his offense after sloppy practice
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans and rookie quarterback Cam Ward turned in a sluggish performance Sunday, earning a profanity-laced tirade from head coach Brian Callahan as the session concluded. The No. 1 overall pick followed two solid practices with a rough showing Sunday in team drills. Ward completed just 4 of 13 passes in team drills and was off the mark on several throws. The Titans also had penalties and a play that would have been a sack as the defense pressured the young quarterback. Ward's final rep of the day was a pass that sailed far over the head of receiver Van Jefferson and out of bounds. That's when Callahan unleashed on the offense. The second-year Titans coach spoke before practice. After practice, Callahan stood near midfield talking with Ward, offensive coordinator Nick Holz and quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree for about 20 minutes. Tennessee opens preseason play Saturday night at Tampa Bay with a joint practice on Thursday. Before practice, Callahan said some self-inflicted mistakes Saturday had him concerned because of the emphasis he has put on correcting those all offseason. 'The progress obviously isn't always going to be linear, we're going to have ups and downs,' Callahan said before practice. The Titans have NFL officials on hand to make clear when players commit penalties. Callahan said that's great to have that experience. The Titans called Callahan's outburst warranted because of a lack of focus and intensity on offense. 'He's not really an outburst-type of coach for the most part,' left guard Peter Skoronski said. 'So I think so I think the practice kind of warranted it. It just felt kind of low and juice-less from an offensive end and lacking execution.' Skoronski said Sunday's session was disappointing and he could feel the frustration before Callahan went off. 'When he started yelling, I said, 'Oh there it is,'' Skoronski said. 'We just didn't move the ball the way we needed to. I think it was warranted. We shouldn't need that to bring out the intensity. We shouldn't need the head coach to be like that. It should be player driven. We've got to be better and more on that.' ___ AP NFL:
