CHICAGO (AP) — Jordan Miller played for George Mason for three seasons before transferring to Miami. So Miller was well aware of Hurricanes coach Jim Larrañaga long before he switched schools. "Being at George Mason, it's hard not to hear about his success there," Miller said Saturday. "Coach L, actually, when I first talked to him, he actually said, 'Do you know about my success at George Mason?'" Sixteen years after he directed the Patriots to a memorable Final Four run, the affable Larrañaga has another double-digit seed on the brink of the...
CHICAGO (AP) — Forget about those halcyon first few days of spring training, when arranging for the right tee time on the right golf course is often more challenging than the work on the field.

Kimbrel says his knee started bothering him while he was closing out Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Brewers. The IL stint is retroactive to S...
CHICAGO (AP) — When it was over, when Los Angeles had finally secured another trip to the World Series and Enrique Hernandez's three big swings had become a part of playoff lore, the emotional utilityman just wanted to give his dad a big hug. It was one sweet performance for Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw and the rest of the Dodgers. Hernandez homered three times and drove in a record seven runs, Kershaw breezed through six crisp innings and Los Angeles ended the Chicago Cubs' title defense with an 11-1 rout in Game 5 of the NL Championship S...
