MLB

• Boston Red Sox were no hit against Sean Manaea but behind Mookie Betts amazing start and some all-star pitching, they remain the AL favorite right now.

English Premier League

• Manchester City remains a mile ahead of Manchester United and Liverpool. 4 games remain for most teams in the Premier League.
• Mohamad Salah Ghaly from Liverpool has all but locked down the goal lead up 5 on Harry Kane.

MLS

• Atlanta holds a clean sheet against the LA Galaxy as Josef Martinez scores again and Brad Guzan stands strong in net. Atlanta sits in second just behind New York City FC.

Golf

• Andrew Landry shot a 68 on Sunday to win his first every PGA event at the Valero Texas Open. He beat out Sean O’Hair and Trey Mullinax. The 2009 NCAA Champion came out of Texas A&M.

NASCAR

• The time of Kevin Harvick (earlier this season) has passed, it is now the season of Kyle Busch who just took his third straight finish and he continues his short track domination alongside Denny Hamlin.

NCAAF

• Professional days are in full swing and QB’s Sam Darnold shined in the rain (is that possible…to shine in the rain?) and Josh Allen showed off his strong arm. Saquon Barkley didn’t follow through as draft rumors show more interest in the top QBs, Bradley Chubb and Minkah Fitzpatrick as Barkley’s stock value decreases some.

Rugby (Aviva Premiership)

• Exeter Chiefs lost to Gloucester but remain on top holding off the Saracens and Wasps (both who won scoring 50+ points)

.

Boxing

• Gervonta Davis TKO’d Jesus Cuellar in the 3^rdround to take the 130 lb belt (vacant)

• Jermall Charlo KO’d Hugo Centeno in the 2^nd round to take the interim middleweight title.
