Canadian sprinters shine at NACAC track & field championships in The Bahamas
Thirty Canadian track and field athletes travelled to The Bahamas to compete at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) championships from Friday through Sunday. The Canadian squad includes 17 Olympians and 19 athletes who have competed at the world championships. For some athletes, this meet will serve as a tune-up for the world championships. For others, it's their final chance to hit the automatic qualifying standard or to improve their spot in the world rankings, which is another way to get into the worlds. Team Canada started the NACAC Championships off with a strong silver medal performance by Tatiana Aholou in the women's 100-metre hurdles (13.01). Canada's sprinters come through Sprinter Jerome Blake, who won the Olympic men's 4x100m gold in Paris last summer alongside Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse, took home gold in the men's 100m at the NACAC championships. Blake crossed the line in a personal best time of 9.95. Not to be outdone by his relay teammate, Aaron Brown also powered through to gold in the men's 200m with a time of 20.27. Blake and De Grasse (9.98) are the only Canadians who have achieved the men's 100m world championship qualifying time of 10 seconds flat. Blake and Brown have met the 200m standard of 20.16, while De Grasse will likely get in by way of his world ranking. The men's 4x100 team qualified in May at the World Athletics Relays, where they took bronze behind South Africa and the United States. Adding to the medal count Team Canada's throwers came to play as well picking up two bronze medals. London, Ontario native Julia Tunks launched the discus 56.78 metres to claim bronze along with Jillian Weir who threw 69.08 metres in the women's hammer throw to win bronze. Canada's middle distance athletes shone bright at the NACAC championships as well. Lucia Stafford took home bronze in the women's 1500m (4:11.11). On the men's side, Canada went 1 and 2 with Foster Malleck taking gold (3:37.54) and Charles Philibert-Thiboutot finishing close behind in second (3:40.57). Nova Scotia's Sarah Mitton who took silver at the 2023 outdoor worlds before capturing back-to-back indoor world titles will look to add to Canada's medal count on Sunday evening as she competes in the women's shot put.

Semien homers in return, Eovaldi wins 7th straight decision as Rangers beat Blue Jays 10-4
TORONTO (AP) — Marcus Semien homered and scored twice in his return to the lineup and Nathan Eovaldi worked seven innings and won his seventh straight decision as Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-4 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep. Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter each hit two-run homers, and Corey Seager added a solo shot as Texas snapped a four-game skid. Rangers first baseman Jake Burger exited after six innings because of a sore left wrist. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk hit solo home runs, but that was all the offense the Blue Jays managed against Eovaldi (11-3). The right-hander allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Eovaldi is unbeaten since a May 22 road loss to the Yankees. Shawn Armstrong got four outs for his fourth save in seven chances. Back at second base after sitting out Saturday's loss because of a sore right wrist, Semien hit a two-run homer off right-hander José Berríos in the second. The homer was Semien's 15th. Seager chased Berríos with a one-out homer in the fifth, his 18th. Langford homered off Braydon Fisher in the sixth, his 17th. Carter connected off Louis Varland in the ninth, his fifth. Berríos (9-5) allowed a season-high 10 hits and matched a season-high by giving up six runs in 4 1/3 innings. Guerrero's sixth-inning homer was his 21st. Kirk hit his ninth in the second. George Springer hit a two-run homer off Hoby Milner in the eighth, his 19th. Key moment The Rangers scored three runs on five straight hits with two outs in the fourth. The first four hits came on two-strike counts. Key stat Eovaldi is 6-2 with a 1.62 ERA in 11 starts following a Rangers loss. Up next Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (7-6, 3.94 ERA) is expected to start at Kansas City on Monday against RHP Michael Wacha (7-9, 3.35). Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (8-9, 3.79) is scheduled to start at Pittsburgh on Monday against RHP Paul Skenes (7-9, 2.13). __ AP MLB:
