He blanked the Rays after Eric Sogard’s second-inning homer.

Houston took control with a four-run first as Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) and Yuli Gurriel (YOO’-lee gur-ee-EHL’) sandwiched RBI singles around Alex Bregman’s two-run double. Michael Brantley and Altuve added back-to-back homers in the bottom of the eighth to cap the scoring.

Losing pitcher Tyler Glasnow was reached for four runs and five hits over 2 2/3 innings.

Houston will host Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday.

Phils boot Kapler

UNDATED (AP) _ The Phillies have fired manager Gabe Kapler, nearly two weeks after a disappointing finish to a season of big expectations. Kapler went 161-163 in two years. The Phillies failed to live up to the hype following an offseason spending spree highlighted by Bryce Harper’s arrival. They were 81-81, the club’s first non-losing season since 2012. Phillies managing partner John Middleton says “some changes are necessary to achieve our ultimate objective” of winning the World Series.

In other baseball news:

_ Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks could make a surprise return from elbow injury to start in AL Championship Series. The switch-hitter has not played since Aug. 3. CC Sabathia also could be back on the roster after missing the Division Series sweep of Minnesota because of a sore pitching shoulder. The 39-year-old left-hander is retiring after this year.

_ Athletics rookie catcher Sean Murphy has undergone surgery on his left knee and is expected to be fully recovered for the start of spring training in February. Murphy batted .245 with four home runs and eight RBIs in 20 games after being recalled last month.

_ Padres pitcher Jacob Nix has been arrested and accused of breaking into a suburban Phoenix home through a doggie door last Sunday morning before being shot with a Taser by the homeowner. Nix was released this week from the Maricopa County jail on $100 bond and faces two counts of criminal trespassing. Charging documents indicate the 23-year-old Nix was under the influence of either alcohol or drugs during the incident.

NFL-PATRIOTS/GIANTS

Brady passes Peyton as Pats whip Giants

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) _ Tom Brady moved up the NFL’s all-time list for passing yards for the second straight game and helped the New England Patriots improve to 6-0 for the first time in four years.

Brady finished 31 of 41 for 334 yards as the Patriots dumped the Giants, 35-14. The 42-year-old quarterback moved ahead of Peyton Manning for second place for aerial yardage and also ran for two scores as New England took advantage of the mistake-prone Giants.

The reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and forced four turnovers, including a fumble return for a score. Julian Edelman had his second straight 100-yard receiving game, catching nine passes for 113 yards.

New York QB Daniel Jones had his worst game since taking over for Eli Manning in Week 3, completing just 15 of 31 passes for 161 yards and three interceptions.

The Giants are 2-4 following their second straight loss.

NFL-NEWS

Jaguars owner expects Ramsey to play Sunday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) _ Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan expects cornerback Jalen Ramsey to play this week.

Khan told a financial news site, The Street, he had a “heart to heart” with the disgruntled defender earlier this week and said Ramsey is scheduled to play against New Orleans.

Ramsey has practiced on a limited basis the last two days after missing seven straight because of illness, back tightness and the birth of his second daughter. His back caused him to miss the past two games. He saw a specialist Monday in Houston.

In other NFL news:

_ Saints linebacker Demario Davis says being fined for wearing his “Man of God” headband helped his cause in the long run. Davis says he’d worn the headband expressing his faith for several games before the NFL took note of the uniform violation and fined him about $7,000. The New Orleans defensive captain was able to successfully appeal the fine by arguing that he was not aware that expressing his faith in that way violated NFL policies.

_ The Raiders have cut wide receiver J.J. Nelson after he missed three of the past four games with injuries. Nelson hurt his knee early in the opener and sat out the next game. He returned in Week 3 and caught a TD pass against Minnesota but missed the past two weeks because of the knee.

NBA-NEWS

Nets win with patchwork backcourt

UNDATED (AP) _ It was a short day’s work for the Nets’ starting backcourt in Thursday’s 114-111 win over the Lakers.

Newly acquired Kyrie Irving had to sit out after aggravating his facial fracture 66 seconds into the game. Irving injured the left side of his face during a pickup game last month and was wearing a clear mask as protection before taking an inadvertent elbow from Rajon Rondo (RAH’-zhahn RAHN’-doh).

Moments later, Caris LeVert had to leave after being poked in the right eye, causing him to miss the rest of the game.

Spencer Dinwiddie replaced Irving and scored a team-high 20 points in the game at Shanghai.

The game was played after several events to promote the NBA’s annual appearance in China were called off amid a rift between China’s government and the league over a tweet.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-MARY HARDIN-BAYLOR-NCAA SANCTIONS

Mary Hardin-Baylor to vacate title

BELTON, Texas (AP) — The NCAA has ordered Mary Hardin-Baylor to vacate its 2016 Division III football national championship because the head coach let a player use his car for more than 18 months, which was improper benefit for a student-athlete. The NCAA says it would vacate any victories in which any ineligible athletes played.

The school said that includes 29 victories over the 2016-2017 seasons and the 2016 championship.

School officials said they’ll appeal that punishment.

In world and national news…

BEIRUT (AP) — A French official says sanctions against Turkey will be “on the table” at next week’s European Union summit, after the country’s incursion into Syria.

Amélie de Montchalin, the French secretary for European affairs, told France Inter radio on Friday that Europe rejected any idea that it was powerless to respond to what she described as a shocking situation against civilians and Europe’s Kurdish allies against the Islamic State group.

European diplomats in Brussels have responded cautiously to the idea of sanctions on Ankara.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that he will send millions of refugees into Europe if there is any backlash against his military cross-border operation in Syria.

 

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s state-run news agency says two rockets struck an Iranian oil tanker off the coast of Saudi Arabia.

IRNA quoted a statement from Iran’s national oil tanker firm as saying an attack targeted a tanker it identified as the Sabity.

It said the attack happened early on Friday morning.

There was no immediate response from Saudi Arabia. The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, which oversees the Mideast, says it was aware of the incident, but declined to immediately comment further.

The reported explosion comes after the U.S. alleges Iran attacked oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, something denied by Tehran.

 

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The 2019 Nobel Peace has been awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Ahmed was cited for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea.

Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chairwoman of the five-member Norwegian Nobel Institute that awards the Nobel Peace Prize said Ahmed was named for his moves to end his country’s conflict with next door Eritrea within months of coming to office in 2018. He signed a “Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship,” with Eritrean Prime Minister Isaias Afwerki.

Within the Nobel Peace Prize there is a long history of prizes going to statesmen associated with ending conflicts, most recently Colombia’s Juan Manuel Santos who was awarded the prize in 2016 for helping to bring his country’s 50 year civil war to an end.

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hot, dry winds sweeping into Southern California raised concerns that the region’s largest utility could widen power shutoffs Friday to prevent its equipment from sparking wildfires.

Southern California Edison turned off electricity to about 20,000 people but warned that thousands more could lose service as Santa Ana winds gained strength.

Meanwhile Winds gusted dangerously as forecast in Northern California before weather conditions eased and the lights started to come back on. Planned blackouts affected millions and Pacific Gas & Electric faced hostility and second-guessing for its widespread shutoffs.

Over 500,000 PG&E customers were still waiting for power to come back on as of Thursday night.
