\u2014 The Giants\u2019 lead in the NL West is down to a half-game over the Dodgers after the Brewers earned a 6-2 win in San Francisco. Brandon Woodruff struck out eight in six innings to win back-to-back starts for the first time since late June. Lorenzo Cain furnished a homer and an RBI single as Milwaukee extended its lead in the NL Central to 10 games over the Reds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Tampa Bay Rays were able to turn just five hits into their ninth consecutive win.<\/p>\n
Yandy D\u00edaz drove in two with a double during a six-run second that pushed the Rays past the Red Sox, 8-5. Wander Franco and Austin Meadows had RBI singles for the AL East leaders, who are 36 games over .500 for the first time in club history.<\/p>\n
Boston finished the game without Xander Bogaerts (BOH\u2019-gahrts), who had a first-inning RBI single before leaving in the second following a positive test for COVID-19. The positive test result came hours after the Red Sox announced that pitcher Hirokazu Sawamura tested positive.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay\u2019s division lead is seven games after the second-place Yankees were beaten by the Angels, 6-4.<\/p>\n
Jared Walsh put Los Angeles ahead for good with a three-run homer, one inning before Shohei Ohtani (SHOH\u2019-hay oh-TAH\u2019-nee) scored on a double steal. The Yankees lost their fourth in a row since a 13-game winning streak despite homers by Anthony Rizzo and Gary Sanchez.<\/p>\n
Also on Tuesday\u2019s major league schedule:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Matt Chapman smacked a two-run homer and a solo shot in the Athletics\u2019 third straight win since a six-game skid, 9-3 at Detroit. Mark Canha homered as Oakland moved within one game of Boston for the second AL wild card. Josh Harrison provided three hits and two ribbies in the win.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The A\u2019s also pulled within five games of the AL West lead with the Astros\u2019 4-0 loss to the Mariners. The game was scoreless until Abraham Toro hit a grand slam in the eighth off Kendall Graveman, who was part a four-player swap that brought Toro to Seattle. Yusei Kikuchi (YOO\u2019-say kih-KOO\u2019-chee) worked past the sixth for the first time since July 1, limiting Houston to four hits over seven innings.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Yasmani Grandal (yahs-MAH\u2019-nee grahn-DAHL\u2019) and Jose Abreu (ah-BRAY\u2019-oo) homered again for the White Sox in a 4-2 downing of the Pirates. Grandal is batting .500 with four homers and 11 RBIs in 14 at-bats since returning from the 10-day injured list. Five relievers combined for 4 2\/3 innings of two-hit ball after Chicago starter Lucas Giolito left the game with tightness in his left hamstring.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Orioles picked up a 4-2 win at Toronto behind Keegan Akin, who allowed a run and two hits over five innings to win his second straight start. Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas (oo-REE\u2019-uhs) hit a go-ahead double in the sixth inning to get Akin the win. The Blue Jays wasted home runs by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Danny Jansen in ending a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2014 Corey Seager delivered a tiebreaking, RBI double in the eighth inning to give LA a 3-2 win over the Braves. Mookie Betts homered to get the Dodgers with 2-1 in the fourth, and scored the winning run following a leadoff walk.

\u2014 It\u2019s now a five-game winning streak for the Phillies following a 12-6 pounding of the Nationals. Bryce Harper delivered a tiebreaking, two-run single while Philadelphia scored six times in the sixth to erase a 5-3 deficit. Rafael Marchan, Brad Miller and Andrew McCutchen smacked two-run homers and rookie Matt Vierling (VEER\u2019-lihng) had four hits, leaving him 7-for-12 in his first seven big league games.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Blake Snell threw seven no-hit innings for San Diego before being pulled in a 3-0 shutout of the Diamondbacks.

Pinch-hitter David Peralta ended the Padres\u2019 combined no-hit bid with a bloop single in the eight.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Javier B\u00e1ez singled in the ninth and scored the winning run as the Mets earned a 6-5 win over the Marlins in the completion of a suspended game. B\u00e1ez entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and sparked the Mets\u2019 five-run ninth, hours after he and teammate Francisco Lindor (lihn-DOHR\u2019) apologized for their thumbs-down celebration gestures last weekend. The Mets trailed 5-1 until Brandon Nimmo slammed a two-run homer.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Michael Conforto hit the eventual winning single in the first game and homered in Game 2 as the Mets posted their fourth straight win, 3-1. Conforto hit a two-run homer and Baez scored on Jeff McNeil\u2019s double. Winning pitcher Aaron Loup (loop) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth to keep the Mets ahead.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Amed Rosario had the first five RBI game of his career and matched a career high for hits in the Indians\u2019 7-2 thumping of the Royals. Rosario became the first player since at least 1920 to go 5 for 5 with five RBIs, an inside-the-park homer and a drive over the fence. Zach Plesac pitched two-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, helping Cleveland end Salvador Perez\u2019s five-game home run streak.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Rangers topped the Rockies, 4-3 as Nathaniel Lowe furnished a home run and an RBI single among his three hits. Leody Taveras homered for the second game in a row, helping Jordan Lyles win for the second time in three starts. Lyles worked 6 2\/3 innings and allowed six hits, including solo homers by Sam Hilliard, C.J. Cron and Ryan McMahon.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Reds-Cardinals game in Cincinnati was rained out and rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
TENNIS-US OPEN<\/p>\n
Djokovic, Barty advance<\/p>\n
NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The No. 1 seeds are off to a good start at the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n
Novak Djokovic (JOH\u2019-kah-vihch) has started his bid to make history with a four-set victory over Danish teenager Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1.<\/p>\n
The top-seeded Djokovic is trying to complete the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men\u2019s tennis since Rod Laver in 1969 and collect a record-breaking 21st major singles championship.<\/p>\n
Women\u2019s top-ranked Ash Barty knocked off Vera Zvonareva, 6-1, 7-6 in her first U.S. Open match in two years. The 25-year-old Barty finished with 31 winners, including 11 aces.<\/p>\n
Barty skipped last year\u2019s Open because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
Also on Day 2 of the year\u2019s final Grand Slam:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The first major upset of the tournament was crafted by Maxime Cressy, who dispatched ninth seed Pablo Carreno Busta, 5-7, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6. Cressy saved four match points in the fifth-set tiebreaker to knock off the two-time U.S. Open semifinalist.<\/p>\n
\u2014 American Taylor Fritz has eliminated 14th-seeded Alex de Minaur in four sets to give the host country 13 men in the second round. Fritz won a three-hour match that ended just past midnight by a score of 7-6, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jenson Brooksby is one of those 13 American men who advanced, moving into the second round by beating Mikael Ymer 7-5, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Brooksby reached the finals in Newport and the semifinals in Washington during the leadup to the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Alexander Zverev opened his bid for a second straight U.S. Open final appearance by defeating American Sam Querrey, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 in 100 minutes. Zverev won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and is one of three players with four titles this season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 No. 11 Belinda Bencic (BEHN\u2019-chihch) advanced in straight sets, as did fourth seed Karolina Pliskova (PLIHSH\u2019-koh-vah).<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tenth seed Hubert Hurkacz (HUR\u2019-kahts) was a straight-sets winner on the men\u2019s side, as was No. 22 Reilly Opelka.<\/p>\n
\u2014 American Mackenzie McDonald pulled off a mild surprise with a straight-sets victory over No. 27 David Goffin.<\/p>\n
NFL…<\/p>\n
\u2014 A person with direct knowledge of the deal has told The Associated Press the Jets have traded tight end Chris Herndon to the Vikings. Herndon spent his first three seasons with New York, catching 71 passes for 796 yards and seven touchdowns.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Packers won\u2019t have David Bakhtiari for the start of the season. The All-Pro left tackle is recovering from a torn ACL and won\u2019t be available for at least the first six weeks. That leaves reigning MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers without the player who has protected his blind side for the last nine seasons.<\/p>\n
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) \u2014 The New England Patriots have shown Cam Newton the door after just one season with the team.<\/p>\n
The Pats have released the 2015 NFL most valuable player, paving the way for rookie Mac Jones to open the season as the starting quarterback.<\/p>\n
Veteran players say Jones has impressed them in training camp with his work ethic. Jones won a national title last year at Alabama.<\/p>\n
The Patriots are trying to rebound from a disjointed 2020 season. Newton finished 7-8 as the starter and the Patriots went 7-9 overall after Tom Brady\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the NFL:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Quarterback Deshaun Watson remains on the Houston Texans\u2019 active roster as the team made cuts to reduce their roster to 53 players. Watson\u2019s future with the team is in question after 22 women filed lawsuits alleging that he sexually assaulted or harassed them. Watson reported to camp to avoid being fined and participated in individual drills but never practiced with the team, watching as Tyrod Taylor ran the offense.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Saints head coach Sean Payton says the displaced team is exploring the possibility of remaining in the Dallas area for up to a month and opening their regular season against Green Bay in the Cowboys\u2019 home stadium. There are logistical challenges with staffing an NFL game at the Superdome in the near future because of the widespread damage by Hurricane Ida in the New Orleans area. While the Superdome appears to have been spared significant damage, many New Orleans residents have evacuated and officials have advised them not to return for at least another several days.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old Rondo agreed to a buyout with Memphis last Saturday and quickly rejoined a title contender.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n
NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 Louisiana residents still reeling from flooding and damage caused by Hurricane Ida are scrambling for food, gas, water and relief from the oppressive heat. Meanwhile, thousands of line workers are toiling to restore electricity and officials have vowed to set up more sites where people can get free meals and cool off. Ida knocked out power to more than a million people, including all of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell says she expects the city’s main power company to be able to provide some electricity by Wednesday evening, though she stressed that doesn\u2019t mean a quick citywide restoration.<\/p>\n
HOUMA, La. (AP) \u2014 Main Street in the Louisiana town of Houma resembles a canyon of rubble after Hurricane Ida. Metal roofs peeled off buildings covered the sidewalks Tuesday, and red bricks from a collapsed building mingled with broken glass on a corner. A once shady square a block away was strewn with broken limbs from giant oaks. Houma resident Michael Cobb says the town thoroughfare had been \u201csuch a pretty place.\u201d Houma has seen it share of hurricanes since its founding in 1832. It’s a working-class town of about 33,000 people who make their living off the Gulf. Cobb says people in the town will rebuild and endure.<\/p>\n
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Flames raced across treetops and through drought-stricken vegetation as firefighters scrambled to keep a growing California wildfire from reaching a resort city at the southern tip of Lake Tahoe. The flames forced new evacuations for some residents across the state line in Nevada. South Lake Tahoe is normally bustling with thousands of summer tourists. But streets are eerily empty after rapid growth of the Caldor Fire forced a mass evacuation and triggered hours of gridlocked traffic. The National Weather Service warns critical weather conditions through Wednesday could include extremely low humidity, dry fuel and gusts up to 30 mph.<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 A Texas law banning most abortions in the state took effect at midnight, but the Supreme Court has yet to act on an emergency appeal to put the law on hold. If allowed to remain in force, the law would be the most dramatic restriction on abortion rights in the United States since the high court\u2019s landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion across the country in 1973. The Texas law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May, would prohibit abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks and before most women even know they\u2019re pregnant.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden has defended the way the U.S. ended its 20-year \u201cforever war\u201d in Afghanistan. Biden calls the military airlift to extract some 120,000 Afghans, Americans and other allies an \u201cextraordinary success.” More than 100 Americans and thousands of Afghans were left behind, but Biden says diplomatic and other efforts will continue to get them out. Biden’s speech Tuesday from the White House came 24 hours after the departure of the last American aircraft from Kabul. Biden says he \u201cwas not going to extend this forever war.\u201d And he says he “was not going to extend a forever exit.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Dakota health officials are confirming 520 new cases of the coronavirus, the highest reported daily total since mid-December. Officials say the increase in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks is due to the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus. Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases has increased by nearly 129%. Johns Hopkins University researchers say one in every 519 people in North Dakota tested positive in the past week. The cases posted Tuesday were the most since 575 tests came back positive on Dec. 10, 2020. The update came a day after a small group of North Dakota State University students marched around campus to protest a university rule that requires masks to be worn in classes and hallways.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vcpsbldg-300x249.jpg\")
