Smith leads Lynx past Mystics for 16th home win
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alanna Smith scored 25 points, Courtney Williams had 14 and the Minnesota Lynx held off the Washington Mystics 80-76 on Friday night to improve to 16-1 at home this season. Smith and Washington rookie Sonia Citron each scored eight straight points for their teams down the stretch. Citron's three-point play with 2:44 left pulled the Mystics within 71-70, but Smith answered at the other end with her fourth 3-pointer. Citron sank a 3-pointer from the wing with 59 seconds remaining to tie it at 76-all. Williams answered with a baseline jumper to give Minnesota a two-point lead. Washington guard Sug Sutton was fouled with 36 seconds left but the call was overturned following a review. The Mystics won the jump ball, but Citron turned it over in the lane. Kayla McBride sealed it with two free throws. DiJonai Carrington, in her home debut for the Lynx after being traded from Dallas, added 12 points for Minnesota (26-5). McBride scored 11. Napheesa Collier (right ankle) did not play. Citron finished with 26 points and four 3-pointers for Washington (13-17). Kiki Iriafen and Shakira Austin each scored 12 points. LIBERTY 88, WINGS 77 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Sabrina Ionescu scored 16 points, Emma Meesseman had 14 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals, and New York beat Dallas for its third straight victory. Leonie Fiebich and Jonquel Jones also scored 14 points apiece for New York (20-10). Natasha Cloud and Marine Johannes each added 10. Arike Ogunbowale scored 17 points and Maddy Siegrist added 15 off the bench for Dallas (8-23), which has lost four straight games. Myisha Hines-Allen had 12 points and seven rebounds. Dallas was without rookie Paige Bueckers due to a back injury that required treatment when the teams met Tuesday in New York. Breanna Stewart, Kennedy Burke and Nyara Sabally did not play for the Liberty. Meesseman had 14 points, six rebounds and four assists in the first half to help New York build a 50-34 lead. The Liberty made 51.5% of their shots, including 5 of 12 from 3-point range, and 11 of 11 free throws in the half. The Wings were held to 33.3% shooting with nine turnovers. ACES 90, STORM 86 LAS VEGAS (AP) — A'ja Wilson had 29 points and 12 rebounds on her 29th birthday, Jackie Young added 26 points, including a key 3-pointer with 51 seconds left, and Las Vegas beat Seattle for its fifth win in six games. Young scored seven straight points at the end of an 9-0 run to give Las Vegas a 63-44 lead midway through the third quarter. Seattle closed the third on a 17-6 run — with all six Las Vegas points from Jewell Loyd. The Storm also scored the opening seven points of the fourth to get to 71-70. Dominique Malonga completed a three-point play with 5:38 left to tie it at 75 — the closest Seattle had been since it was tied at 25. But Young scored the next five points. Young's late 3-pointer made it 90-84. Chelsea Gray added 13 points and NaLyssa Smith had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Las Vegas (17-14). Loyd finished with 10 points against her former team. Young's second basket in the first half moved her past Becky Hammon for fifth in franchise history for most made field goals.

Scherzer and Kershaw square off in rare duel of 3,000-strikeout club members
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw went toe-to-toe for six innings in a vintage duel Friday night between the two most recent members of the 3,000-strikeout club. The 41-year-old Scherzer, pitching for Toronto, made his 465th career start. Kershaw, 37, started his 443rd game — all for the Los Angeles Dodgers over 18 seasons. Both have won three Cy Young Awards and are likely headed to the Hall of Fame. 'Two great competitors,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game. 'I don't know if you're going to see this one again.' Kershaw allowed one run and seven hits. He struck out four and walked one on 74 pitches, 54 strikes. Scherzer gave up two runs and six hits. He struck out five and walked three on 98 pitches, 63 strikes. Kershaw exited with the Dodgers leading 2-1, thanks to a two-run homer by Mookie Betts in the fifth. The left-hander was a model of efficiency in the first inning, retiring the Blue Jays on 11 pitches. Los Angeles went right after Scherzer in the bottom half. Shohei Ohtani and Betts hit consecutive line-drive singles before Davis Schneider robbed Will Smith of a potential three-run homer with a catch against the Dodgers bullpen gate in left field. Scherzer walked Max Muncy to load the bases before striking out Teoscar Hernández to end the inning. Scherzer retired the side in the second and third. Kershaw had traffic on the bases in the second, when Addison Barger's two-strike single scored Bo Bichette and gave Toronto a 1-0 lead. With a runner at first, Dodgers rookie second baseman Alex Freeland raced into shallow right field to catch a blooper by Ernie Clement for the third out of the fifth. A relieved Kershaw smiled and pointed his index finger skyward. It's the fourth time Scherzer and Kershaw have opposed each other. The first time was unexpected. Hall of Famers Randy Johnson of Arizona and Greg Maddux of the Dodgers were scratched on Sept. 7, 2008. Their replacements were rookies Scherzer, then 24, and Kershaw, then 20, who each got a no-decision. Scherzer and Kershaw pitched against each other twice more, with each getting a win. Roberts managed Scherzer when the Dodgers traded for him in the second half of the 2021 season, when he notched his 3,000th strikeout. Having Kershaw already in the fold helped prepare Roberts. 'Those guys are in very rare company, and when you have an opportunity to manage people like that and superstars, it does help you understand how they think, what makes them tick," he said. Unlike Kershaw, Scherzer likes to talk 'all the time,' Roberts said. 'He's got a lot of answers, but they're valid answers because he's always thinking the game,' Roberts said. "He'll talk to hitters, get in hitters' meetings. He's always trying to pick people's brains to get some type of edge, which as a coach, that's a good thing.' Kershaw became the 20th member of the 3,000-strikeout club in July at Dodger Stadium. Both pitchers are known for being extremely competitive. Where they differ is Scherzer is more demonstrative than Kershaw. Roberts recalled the reaction he got for patting Scherzer on his rear end in the middle of a game in 2021. 'I heard a curse word after I did it,' he said. 'That's pretty intense.' ___ AP MLB: Beth Harris, The Associated Press
