https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Mookie Betts had two hits and an RBI, Corey Seager homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 in the opener of their NL wild-card series on Wednesday night.

Sixers star Ben Simmons ranked as 9th best prospect to build around

Bryson DeChambeau vindicated in US Open triumph at Winged Foot

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J The great Bryson DeChambeau experiment has been confirmed as an overwhelming and unqualified success. The American piled on the pounds, gained all the yards and, as the US Open champion, accumulated $2.25m dollars and his lifelong dream. Whatever anyone says about the 27-year-old - and much of it is not complimentary - nobody can deny that when he puts his studious mind to something, he spectacularly achieves. The Mad Scientist… The Incredible Bulk… the 2020 US Open champion. Of all his monikers, only one matters now to DeChambeau. He began the final round at Winged Foot - brutal Winged Foot - two off his 21-year-old countryman Matthew Wolff and on a day when the New York layout flashed its most severe fangs so DeChambeau clinically delivered a three-under 67, prevailing by six on six-under as the only player under par. Wolff finished on level par following a 75, while South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen was third on two-over after a 73. from Yahoo! Sports - New...
