Rangers' slumbering bats come alive in 11-1 victory over Cardinals
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Marcus Semien hit a two-run homer and matched his career high with four hits, Jack Leiter pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for the first time in 15 major league starts and the Texas Rangers routed the St. Louis Cardinals 11-1 on Friday night. Leiter (4-2) allowed three singles and matched a career high with six strikeouts, throwing a career-high 96 pitches. Semien drove in three runs. He was 10 for 70 in his previous 21 games. Sam Haggerty tied his career best with three hits and had three RBIs, Josh Jung also had three hits and three RBIs, and Wyatt Langford hit a two-run home run. Haggerty scored the first of his three runs on a first-inning single by Josh Jung that ended a team-wide 0-for-30 drought. The Rangers (28-30) went into play last in the AL in batting average and runs. They were held to three runs in their previous three games, shut out Wednesday and hitless after Josh Smith's leadoff single in the first inning. Caleb Boushley pitched the final three innings for first career save. The Rangers prevented the Cardinals (32-25) from going nine games over .500 for the first time this season. They had 15 hits, three shy of their season high. Lars Nootbaar doubled home Victor Scott II with the Cardinals' run in the eighth inning. Matthew Liberatore (3-4) allowed five runs in the first two innings, one unearned. Haggerty's two-run triple in the second inning sliced into the right-field corner off a 3-2 pitch. Texas' pitching isn't a problem. Its 2.81 rotation ERA leads the majors. Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (5-1, 4.06 ERA) was set to start Saturday against LHP Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.75).

PJ Haggerty, nation's third-leading scorer, transfers to Kansas State and withdraws from 2025 NBA Draft
Former Memphis guard PJ Haggerty has withdrawn from the 2025 NBA Draft and will transfer to Kansas State, according to reports. The nation's third-leading scorer last season for Memphis, Haggerty entered the transfer portal on April 17. Last season, the 6-foot-3 guard averaged 21.7 points for the Tigers, shooting 36% on 107 3-point attempts while averaging 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals. With that production, he earned him AAC player of the year and second-team All-America honors. Haggerty, 21, will be a redshirt junior and play for his fourth program in four seasons. He redshirted as a freshman at TCU before transferring to Tulsa for one season and then joining Penny Hardaway's program at Memphis. Memphis finished 29-8 and won the AAC regular-season and conference tournament titles with Haggerty leading the way. The Tigers lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Colorado State, 78-70. Haggerty scored 18 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in that defeat. Haggerty's father was seeking $4 million in NIL compensation from his next college basketball program, according to Field of 68 reporter Jeff Goodman. Yet he apparently had to settle for much less on the open market. Playing primarily at point guard was also a major consideration for Haggerty, which he did not do at Memphis. Yahoo Sports NBA Draft analyst Kevin O'Connor did not list Haggerty among the top 62 prospects on his big board, which explains his decision to withdraw from draft consideration and return to college. However, he reportedly made a good showing at the NBA Draft Combine. He hit 73% of his shots in individual drills, one of the top five shooters among the invited prospects. Additionally, Haggerty scored 18 points with seven rebounds in a scrimmage. Early entrants for the NBA Draft have until May 28 to withdraw if they want to keep their NCAA eligibility.
