Tarik Skubal twirls another gem as Tigers top Orioles
June 13 - Tarik Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers did all their scoring in one inning for a 4-1 victory against the host Baltimore Orioles in Thursday night's rubber game.
Dillon Dingler and Parker Meadows drilled fourth-inning home runs, with Meadows' three-run shot the big blow.
Skubal (7-2), who struck out six, limited the Orioles to three singles and two walks. He entered the game without issuing a walk in his previous 23 2/3 innings.
Tommy Kahnle and Will Vest each worked an inning of relief to complete the combined four-hitter.
Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry had two hits apiece for the Tigers, who have won four of their last six.
Baltimore's Dylan Carlson led off the eighth with a home run off Kahnle, his fourth homer of the year. Carlson finished with three hits.
Keegan Akin worked one scoreless inning, despite Jahmai Jones' double on the game's second pitch, in an opener role for Baltimore before Dean Kremer worked the next seven innings. Kremer (5-7) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.
The first run came on Dingler's home run with one out in the fourth, his seventh long ball this year. Three batters later, Meadows went deep on a Kremer delivery to expand the margin to 4-0.
It was the first home run of the season for Meadows in his 10th game of the season.
Baltimore was coming off a 10-run outburst in Wednesday night's victory, but the bats were mostly quiet.
There weren't an abundance of scoring opportunities with each team stranding five runners. The Orioles threatened against Skubal in the second with a two-out walk and an infield single putting runners at the corners before Colton Cowser struck out.

Mya Lesnar, daughter of UFC and WWE champion, wins NCAA shot put title
Colorado State's Mya Lesnar won the women's shot put title at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on Thursday, sealing the national crown with her very first attempt. Lesnar's opening throw of 62ft 4½in (19.01m) at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, stood as the top mark throughout the competition. The only other competitor to come close was Illinois' Abria Smith, whose best effort measured 61ft 10¼in. Lesnar also registered the second-best throw of the day (61ft 11in), capping a commanding performance. It marked the second NCAA title for Lesnar, who also won the indoor championship in 2024. The 24-year-old senior is the first Colorado State athlete in 20 years to win an outdoor national title, joining Loree Smith (2005 hammer throw) in school history. She is now a four-time first-team All-American. BIG TIME start for Mya 💪Opening throw of 19.01m/62-4.5 has her in the driver's seat after round 1!📺ESPN+#Relentless x #CSURams Lesnar, daughter of former UFC and WWE champion Brock Lesnar, transferred to CSU from Arizona State and has since developed into one of the nation's top collegiate throwers under coach Brian Bedard. In 2024, she finished sixth at the Paris Olympics and entered this week's meet as the No 1 seed in the nation. Her personal best of 64-3¾ would have earned an Olympic bronze last summer. 'This one means a lot,' Lesnar said. 'It's taken a lot of work to get back to No 1.' Her national title echoes the collegiate success of her father, who won the 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship while competing for the University of Minnesota. In one of the most dramatic finals in tournament history, Brock Lesnar escaped from the down position in double overtime to secure a 3-2 victory. That win capped a 50-2 record at Minnesota and launched a career that would span the WWE, UFC and a brief NFL stint: a uniquely dominant athletic legacy now matched in part by his daughter's own rise to NCAA stardom. Elsewhere on the first day of women's finals, Georgia's Stephanie Ratcliffe defended her NCAA hammer throw crown with a toss of 234ft 2in. Washington's Hana Moll broke the collegiate pole vault record with a clearance of 15-8½, surpassing the previous mark held by her twin sister Amanda. And New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei shattered the meet record in the 10,000 meters, finishing in 31:17.02.

Why thousands of NCAA athletes might wait over a year for share of $2.8 billion settlement
The attorney who negotiated the $2.8 billion legal settlement for the NCAA said Friday that thousands of former athletes due to receive damages could have to wait months or maybe more than a year to get paid while appeals play out. Rakesh Kilaru, who served as the NCAA's lead counsel for the House settlement that was approved last week, told The Associated Press an appeal on Title IX grounds filed this week will hold up payments due to around 390,000 athletes who signed on to the class-action settlement. He said he has seen appeals take up to 18 months in the California-based federal court where this case is playing out, though that isn't necessarily what he expects. 'I will say that we, and I'm sure the plaintiffs, are going to push,' Kilaru said. A schedule filed this week calls for briefs related to the appeal to be filed by Oct. 3. Kilaru doesn't expect anyone on the defendant or plaintiff side to file for extensions in the case 'because every day the appeal goes on is a day damages don't go to the student-athletes.' He said while the appeal is ongoing, the NCAA will pay the money into a fund that will be ready to go when needed. The other critical parts of the settlement -- the part that allows each school to share up to $20.5 million in revenue with current players and set up an enforcement arm to regulate it -- are in effect regardless of appeals. 'I think everyone thought it was important and good for this new structure to start working because it does have a lot of benefits for students,' Kilaru said. 'But it's very common for damages to be delayed in this way for the simple reason that you don't want to make payments to people that you can't recover' if the appeal is successful. A group of eight female athletes filed the appeal. Their attorney, Ashlyn Hare, said they supported settlement of the case 'but not an inaccurate one that violates federal law.' "The calculation of past damages is based on an error that ignores Title IX and deprives female athletes of $1.1 billion,' Hare said. Kilaru agreed with plaintiff attorneys who have argued that Title IX violations are outside the scope of the lawsuit. Other objections to the settlement came from athletes who said they were damaged by roster limits set by the terms. One attorney representing a group of those objectors, Steven Molo, said they were reviewing Wilken's decision and exploring options. ___

Mexico's Sheinbaum urges US to avoid immigration action at LA soccer game
MEXICO CITY, June 13 (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday urged U.S. authorities not to conduct immigration enforcement targeting attendees of a Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles on Saturday, where Mexico's team is due to play the Dominican Republic. Her comments followed recent raids by immigration authorities in Los Angeles targeting undocumented migrants, under policies associated with the President Donald Trump's administration, which have sparked protests across major cities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in a now-deleted post to social media, had also promised to be "suited and booted" at the first round of Club World Cup soccer matches, the curtain-raiser event for next year's World Cup. "We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any (immigration) action... we call for none to be taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement," Sheinbaum said in her morning press conference. The CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Asked if she would still advise fans to attend Saturday's match at SoFi Stadium, Sheinbaum noted that Mexican consulates in the U.S. have established protocols to assist citizens if detained. Sheinbaum also addressed viral social media images of demonstrators in Los Angeles holding Mexican flags, dismissing them as "potential provocations." "Mexico will always promote peace," she said, adding that its nationals in the U.S. were hardworking individuals who do not seek to incite violence. Mexico will play its next two CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage matches in Arlington, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The tournament also features Central American countries with sizable migrant populations in the United States.
