MEXICO CITY — Javier Aguirre has spent a lifetime being Mexican football's ultimate firefighter, hired mid-cycle to save the national team from one crisis after another. As the 67-year-old leads his third — and final — World Cup squad in 2026, his great challenge isn't a qualifying ...

DENVER — Gary Sánchez homered for the first time since April 14 as part of a seven-run sixth inning, rookie Shane Drohan pitched efficiently into the seventh and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 12-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

"It's part of hockey," McNabb said. "You get through it." After the Golden Knights took a 2-1 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes with a 5-4, double-overtime victory on Saturday night, Vegas coach John Tortorella was a bit less measured in describing the 35-year-old McNabb. "When you get this far in the playoffs, ...
