Leganes wins final La Liga match but will be relegated
MADRID (AP) — Leganes was confirmed as the third and last team to be relegated from La Liga even though it beat last-placed Real Valladolid 3-0 on Saturday.
An Espanyol loss would have saved Leganes, but Espanyol beat Las Palmas 2-0 at home for only its second win in its last eight games.
Leganes immediately returns to La Liga 2 after only one season in the top flight. It is dropping with Las Palmas, which is going down after two years, and Valladolid, which has yo-yoed between divisions for the last four years.

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto leaves game after being hit in area of protective cup by foul tip
TORONTO (AP) — Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto left Wednesday's game at Toronto in the bottom of the ninth inning after being hit in the area of his protective cup by Bo Bichette's foul tip. 'He's getting checked by the doctor right now,' manager Rob Thomson said of Realmuto after the Phillies lost 2-1 on Alejandro Kirk's game-ending hit. 'It's a pretty good one. He said he's had worse but we'll see. We'll check him out tomorrow.' Realmuto immediately fell forward and stayed down for a few minutes after being struck on the second pitch of the inning. 'That's something you never want to see,' Phillies pitcher Mick Abel said. 'I don't really know how it feels but I can imagine it's extremely painful.' Thomson said Realmuto did not leave the stadium to receive medical attention. The three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove award winner was in Philadelphia's clubhouse following the game. Realmuto eventually got to his feet and walked gingerly off the field. He was replaced by Rafael Marchán. 'J.T. is a tough guy,' said Jordan Romano, who was on the mound when Realmuto was hit. 'Seeing him go down like that, obviously it had to hurt pretty good. Just hope he's all right.' Realmuto entered play Wednesday batting .225 with five home runs and 22 RBIs. He went 1 for 3 before exiting. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. ___ AP MLB:
