Tanner Bibee, Guardians shut out MLB-leading Tigers
May 23 - Tanner Bibee tossed seven impressive innings to help lead the Cleveland Guardians to a 7-0 win over the host Detroit Tigers on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series.
Bibee (4-4) struck out a season-high eight, allowed just three hits and issued one walk while throwing 96 pitches.
Angel Martinez had a solo home run and a two-run double and Jose Ramirez had two hits and an RBI for Cleveland, which won its second straight following a five-game skid.
Detroit starter Jack Flaherty (2-6) allowed three runs on three hits, walked three and struck out eight, including the 1,000th of his career. Over 6 2/3 innings, he threw 108 pitches.
With a 3-0 lead, Cleveland pulled Bibee in favor of Tim Herrin in the eighth, and the Tigers started a rally. Detroit loaded the bases on a walk, an infield single and a fly ball that dropped after Lane Thomas lost the ball in the lights.
Cade Smith came on for Herrin and put out the fire, striking out Akil Badoo, Zach McKinstry and Riley Greene.
In the ninth, Cleveland tacked on four runs to make it 7-0, with a two-run double to left by Martinez serving as the signature blow.
Matt Festa pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to help Cleveland complete a five-hit shutout.
Javy Baez had two hits for Detroit, which has the best record in the majors.
After three scoreless innings, the Guardians broke through with two runs in the fourth. Following a one-out single by Ramirez and a walk to Manzardo, Carlos Santana laced a two-run double to the gap in right-center to make it 2-0.
In the fifth, Martinez hit a solo home run to right field to give Cleveland a 3-0 lead.

Another erotic video of Stefon Diggs emerges after viral footage of NFL star flirting with bikini-clad women
Stefon Diggs has gone viral again after another awkward video of the New England Patriots star surfaced, with the wide receiver's future in New England in doubt. A Sunday afternoon Instagram post from Diggs' A-list girlfriend Cardi B shows her doing an erotic dance move in Diggs' direction. Diggs responds by palming his partner's behind and smacking it multiple times. Cardi B looks far from upset by the profane gesture, as she continues to do the dance move after eyeing her man. Diggs' lifestyle with his rap girlfriend comes into the limelight again less than a week after footage of him flirting with bikini-clad women with the 'WAP' performer close by went viral. As revealed by earlier this week, Cardi B was left seething by her NFL beau's antics. 'Cardi for her part, whether she is there or not, doesn't want her man flirting with any ladies,' the insider said. 'Girls will throw themselves on him all the time, but she wishes he wouldn't be a scumbag and flirt back.' 'Cardi has had her fair share of relationship issues, and she doesn't want it to continue with Stefon. And now that the video went viral, she is really frustrated with him that he would allow that to happen,' the source continued. 'He should know better, the fact that he didn't realize what was going on around him is embarrassing and she is mad at him.' In other photos of Cardi B's post she is seen on a boat nearly kissing Diggs, receiving hundreds of red roses, as well as getting her hair done. The veteran wide receiver was filmed on a yacht in Florida surrounded by scantily-clad women over Memorial Day Weekend. The viral video captured on Monday showed Diggs lounging shirtless on the boat and chatting with three women, all dressed in bikinis, who called him 'daddy.' Toward the end of the clip, he produced a plastic bag containing an unknown substance that one of the women took from him. Diggs was seen holding court with the gaggle of fawning women as loud music blared in the background. While it was hard to make out the full conversation, at one point Diggs repeatedly asked the three women, 'What's my name?' and at least two of them responded by calling him 'daddy.' The Patriots signed Diggs to a three-year, $69million contract in late March after one season with the Houston Texans. While he is currently recovering from a torn ACL, he may have already landed himself in hot water before the 2025 season has even begun. Diggs took to social media on Saturday to share a series of snaps from the past month before suggesting he needed to turn his attention to his work on the field. 'to the month of May, I appreciate you none the less… gotta stay focused,' he captioned the carousel of 20 photos, which included a picture of him sat courtside with Cardi at a New York Knicks game. New Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the viral clip on Wednesday, after Diggs was absent from team practice. Vrabel, a former teammate of Tom Brady, claimed that any conversations on the issue would remain in-house. 'And so the message will be the same for all our players, that we're trying to make great decisions,' Vrabel told reporters. 'And any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.' The insider warned that 31-year-old Diggs could be facing greater punishment for going against the 'Patriots way.' 'Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are looking to keep the incident as much in-house as they can from this point forward,' the source explained. 'It is already more of a situation than it needs to be and is not the Patriots way, nor is it the look Vrabel wants for the team,' the source continued. According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, New England could take serious action against the receiver in the aftermath of the Memorial Day video.

Scottie Scheffler's son Bennett suffers hilarious bathroom mishap as golf star wins Memorial Tournament
Scottie Scheffler secured yet another $4million payday with victory at the Memorial Tournament - but the world No 1 was quickly brought back down to earth by his son Bennett. Scheffler won by four stokes at Muirfield Village before being handed his one-year-old son, who had an unfortunate brown stain on his clothes. 'He has poop all over his back,' the golf star's wife Meredith can be heard telling Scheffler in hilarious footage. 'That'll happen,' the world No 1 says with a smile before inspecting the damage. The stain was also visible when Scheffler conducted a post-round interview with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis. Balionis uploaded a photograph of their interview on to social media and wrote alongside the post: 'Sorry Bennett about posting your blowout... mom and dad can use this as blackmail when you're older' Scheffler had to fight back tears during their interview, when he was asked about Meredith's support in his bid to be a better golfer, father and husband. Winning with family ❤️🥹 — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) June 1, 2025 The stain was also visible when Scheffler conducted an interview with CBS' Amanda Balionis 'You're really trying to make me emotional now,' a choked-up Scheffler said while holding Bennett in his arms. 'My wife is my biggest supporter, she's my best friend... I definitely couldn't do it without her.' A few minutes earlier, Meredith had told Scheffler that Bennett had 'so much fun' watching his final round, when he joined Tiger Woods as the only repeat winners of the Memorial. Scheffler underwent hand surgery at the start of the year after a freak cooking accident. But he now appears to be back to his best, with the PGA Championship already in the bag and another major around the corner at the U.S. Open. 'It's always a hard week,' said Scheffler, who finished at 10-under 278. 'We battled really hard on the weekend. Overall it was a great week.' On one of the tougher PGA Tour tests of the year, Scheffler made one bogey over the final 40 holes at Muirfield Village. 'Well, you did it again,' tournament host Jack Nicklaus told him walking off the green. Scheffler has now won three of his past four tournaments.

Sweden's Maja Stark holds off Nelly Korda to win first major at US Women's Open
Maja Stark has won tournaments around the world, but a professional victory in the United States eluded her. Now she is a US Women's Open champion. The Swede shot an even-par 72 to win the second major of the year by two shots on Sunday at Erin Hills. Stark led the championship by one stroke through 54 holes and outlasted the World No 1, Nelly Korda, who got within a shot of the lead before petering out on the back nine. Stark posted a seven-under-par 281 for the week. Korda (71) tied for second with Japan's Rio Takeda (72) at five under, and South Korea's Choi Hye-jin posted a 68 for a share of fourth place at four under with countrywoman Mao Saigo (73) and China's Yin Ruoning (70). Korda had a two-under front nine to get to six under for the championship. Stark was holding a one-stroke lead over Korda when she birdied the 11th. Korda bogeyed the par-three 13th and birdied the next hole, but only after an eagle opportunity slid by. Stark made a two-putt birdie at the 14th to get to nine under and had enough cushion to absorb bogeys at the difficult 17th and 18th, where she missed each fairway. The 25-year-old has six wins to her name on the Ladies European Tour. One of those, the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland, was co-sanctioned by the LPGA and earned her a tour card in 2022. Before Sunday, the highlight of Stark's minimal major resume was placing second to Korda at the 2024 Chevron Championship. Korda came up short of a would-be third major victory. She earned her best finish at a US Women's Open and her third top-10. Julia Lopez Ramirez of Spain played in the final pairing with Stark after shooting a 68 on Saturday. She struggled from the outset and finished one over for the event after a triple-bogey eight on the final hole destined her to a score of 79.
