Yankees' Clarke Schmidt to get MRI after leaving start against Toronto because of forearm tightness
TORONTO (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt was set to have an MRI on Friday after leaving his start Thursday night against Toronto after three innings because of tightness in his right forearm.
Schmidt allowed three runs and four hits, including a home run, in New York's 8-5 loss that left the Yankees a game behind the Blue Jays for the AL East lead. He walked two and struck out one.
Schmidt said he's been dealing with soreness in his arm for the past three or four weeks.
'Earlier on in the game it felt OK,' Schmidt said. 'As the game progressed it sort of tightened up a little bit on me. I felt like the whole night I was kind of guarding it a little bit on the breaking balls, really not ripping them or trying to get a lot behind them.'
Schmidt threw 55 pitches, 31 strikes.
Schmidt is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts. He left a June 21 start against Baltimore after throwing a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.
'Any time you're getting an MRI on your forearm, or whatever the body part is, you're not feeling happy about it,' Schmidt said. 'I'm praying everything is going to be clean and minor. We'll see what happens.'
Right-hander Clayton Beeter replaced Schmidt to begin the fourth. Beeter allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings and took the loss.

Scotland holds on to beat the New Zealand Maori 29-26 in a thrilling start to its Pacific tour
Associated Press WHANGAREI, New Zealand (AP) — Scotland conceded a try after only 40 seconds but rallied to score four tries including a double to scrumhalf George Horne to hold out the New Zealand Maori 29-26 Saturday in the opening match of its South Pacific tour. The tourists led 29-12 early in the second half but gave up two tries and had to survive 29 phases of attack, two penalties and a yellow card before sealing their win in the 87th minute. It was Scotland's first win over the New Zealand Maori in their first match in New Zealand in 25 years. The Maori had Scotland on the back foot when they scored off their first possession which came from a poor Scotland clearance. Flyhalf Rivez Reihana moved the ball quickly wide, center Bailyn Sullivan recovered his own kick and passed infield to scrumhalf Sam Nock who scored before the first minute of the match had elapsed. Scotland recovered well and controlled possession through most of the next 25 minutes, scoring tries through winger Harry Patterson and Horne, both from kicks which turned the Maori defense. Scotland looked dangerous both from phase play and counterattack and kicked well to pressure the New Zealand Maori in the backfield. The Maori had only fragments of possession through the middle of the first half and struggled to produce a coherent attack until the 32nd minute when Scotland conceded a series of penalties close to their own goalline. With the touring team under a general warning, replacement Alex Masibaka found himself heading to the sin-bin only moments after taking the field. The Maori took advantage and Nock moved the ball wide to backrower Te Kamaka Howden who dropped a pass into the hands of lock Isaia Walker-Leawere who scored. Scotland responded superbly to score just before halftime and while still one man down through winger Arron Reed. The tourists continued to find space behind the defense and wide out for kicks. On this occasion center Rory Hutchinson kicked to Reed's wing. The Maori were reduced to 13 men with two yellow cards in the opening minutes of the second half. Scotland took advantage and Horne scored the best try of the match, combining on the left flank with Hutchinson and Reed. Restored to 15 men, the Maori struck back through hooker Kurt Eklund from a lineout drive, then scored again through Gideon Wrampling to reduce Scotland's lead to three points a 29-26. Scotland next plays Fiji in Suva next Saturday and then Samoa. ___ AP rugby: in this topic

Thommy and Joveljic each score a goal, Pulskamp has 8 saves to help Sporting KC beat Rapids
Associated Press COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Erik Thommy had a goal and an assist, Dejan Joveljic also scored a goal and John Pulskamp had eight saves on Friday night to help Sporting Kansas City beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Kansas City (6-10-5) beat the Rapids on the road for the first time since a 3-2 victory on March 29, 2014. Sporting is 6-20-13 all time in road games against Colorado. The Rapids (7-9-5) had 62% possession and outshot Kansas City 25-5. Thommy stole a misplayed pass played by goalkeeper Nico Hansen and rolled a pass to Joveljic at the left corner of the 6-yard box for a first-touch finish to open the scoring in the fourth minute.

Sam Bachman throwing error in 10th inning seals Angels' loss to Blue Jays
TORONTO — Myles Straw scored the winning run on a throwing error by pitcher Sam Bachman in the 10th inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays extended their winning streak to six games by beating the Angels 4-3 on Friday night. Straw, the automatic runner, scored from second when Bachman fielded Ernie Clement's sacrifice bunt and overthrew first base. Bachman (1-2) entered in the 10th and walked leadoff hitter Nathan Lukes, putting runners on first and second with nobody out for Clement. Chad Green (3-2) worked a scoreless inning for the win. Jo Adell tied it for the Angels with a three-run homer in the seventh. Andrés Giménez drove in the first run with a single for Toronto in the sixth. Giménez advanced to third on George Springer's single before leaving with an ankle injury. Giménez tweaked his left ankle covering second base on a steal Wednesday and did not play Thursday. He was scheduled for an MRI. Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer set down his first 12 batters before Adell doubled to begin the fifth. Adell was initially called out trying to advance but the Angels challenged and the call was overturned following a replay review. Giménez hit Adell in the face trying to tag him out at second. Adell was treated on the field and remained in the game. Toronto's Will Wagner doubled to open the sixth and advanced on a sacrifice before scoring on Giménez's hit. José Fermin replaced Angels starter Kyle Hendricks after Springer's single. Bo Bichette hit an RBI single and another run scored when shortstop Zach Neto bobbled Addison Barger's grounder for an error. Mike Trout and Taylor Ward chased Lauer with back-to-back singles to begin the seventh, and the Angels tied it when Adell greeted reliever Nick Sandlin with his 19th homer. Bachman's high throw sparked a celebration at home plate as Toronto improved to 30-16 at home. The Angels faced the Blue Jays on Independence Day for the eighth time, going 4-4 in those meetings. Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer (0-0, 4.85 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday against Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.44).
