LAS VEGAS, Nev.- (Canes go 3-up, Stars even series<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Carolina Hurricanes are one victory away from a four-game sweep and their first berth in the NHL’s Eastern Conference finals in a decade.<\/p>\n
Curtis McElhinney stopped 28 shots in his first Stanley Cup playoffs start and Justin Williams snapped a 2-2 tie midway through the third period of the Hurricanes’ 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders. The 35-year-old McElhinney picked up his second straight win since replacing injured netminder Petr Mrazek (muh-RA’-zehk) in the second period of Game 2.<\/p>\n
Carolina wasted a pair of one-goal leads before Williams beat Robin Lehner off a bad clear with 9:46 remaining. Lehner made a clearing attempt that went straight to Sebastian Aho (AH’-hoh), who fed Williams in the slot.<\/p>\n
Teuvo Teravainen (TOO’-voh tehr-ah-VY’-nehn) scored twice, including the first of the Hurricanes’ two empty-netters.<\/p>\n
Josh Bailey had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who will be playing for their postseason lives on Friday in Raleigh.<\/p>\n
On the other end of the Stanley Cup playoffs spectrum, Dallas and St. Louis are now tied at two games apiece following the Stars’ 4-2 win over the Blues.<\/p>\n
The Stars were in realignment after head coach Jim Montgomery switched up his top two lines with excellent results. Rookie Roope Hintz notched his fifth goal of the postseason after being put on a line with Alexander Radulov (RAD’-yoo-lahf) and captain Jamie Benn. Radulov finished with two assists, and Tyler Seguin (SAY’-gihn) also set up two goals after trading places with Hintz.<\/p>\n
Jason Dickinson, Jason Spezza (SPEHT’-suh) and John Klingberg also scored, while Mats Zuccarello set up two scores.<\/p>\n
Vladimir Tarasenko had a power-play goal for the Blues, who lost for the first time in their five road games this postseason.<\/p>\n
The series returns to St. Louis for Game 5 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014\u00a0 Martin (mahr-TEEN’) Perez had his longest outing in two seasons, allowing four hits over eight scoreless innings of the Twins’ 6-2 victory against the Astros. Perez sailed after putting the first two runners on base in the opening inning. Jonathan Schoop (skohp) crushed a towering two-run homer and Nelson Cruz Jr. drove in a pair for Minnesota.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cleveland Indians have lost another major piece of their starting rotation as they try to capture their fourth straight American League Central title.<\/p>\n
Corey Kluber broke his right forearm when he was hit by a comebacker during a 4-2 loss to the Marlins. The two-time American League Cy Young Award winner was struck by Brian Anderson’s liner in the fifth inning before his arm was placed in a cast. The Indians will have a better idea tomorrow of how long he might be out.<\/p>\n
The Indians are already without starter Mike Clevinger, who is sidelined until at least June by a back injury.<\/p>\n
Kluber allowed three runs and eight hits before leaving the game.<\/p>\n
Miami center fielder Rosell Herrera entered the night batting .148 before collecting a career-high three RBIs to double his season total.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the majors:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ketel Marte (keh-TEHL’ mahr-TAY’) was 2-for-2 with a solo homer and two runs scored as the DBacks completed a two-game sweep of the Yankees, 3-2. Marte’s fourth-inning blast off loser Masahiro Tanaka (mah-sah-HEE’-roh tah-NAH’-kah) gave Arizona a 3-0 lead and helped Merrill Kelly improve to 3-2. Kelly allowed one run and five hits in 5 1\/3 innings as Arizona won for the seventh time in nine games.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Red Sox completed a three-game sweep as Mitch Moreland belted a solo homer and had two RBIs in a 7-3 win over the slumping Athletics. Christian V\u00e1zquez also homered and Marcus Walden worked three scoreless innings of one-hit relief after replacing Hector Vel\u00e1zquez after two innings. Mike Fiers (FY-urz) gave up three runs and five hits in five innings of Oakland’s sixth consecutive loss.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Adalberto Mondesi hit a two-run homer and the Royals took the opener of their doubleheader with Tampa Bay by downing the Rays, 3-2. Jakub Junis beat Tampa Bay for the second time in a week, allowing two runs on six hits in 6 1\/3 innings. The Rays began the day having allowed just four first-inning runs all season before the Royals nicked Ryne Stanek for three in the opening frame.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Glenn Sparkman was recalled by the Royals for the nightcap, and he delivered by scattering three hits over seven innings of Kansas City’s 8-0 shutout of the Rays. Kelvin Gutierrez homered in the nightcap after proving an RBI in the opener, helping the Royals complete a sweep. Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell was rocked for seven runs in just three innings.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mike Trout provided a three-run double and Albert Pujols added his 1,998th career RBI in the Angels’ fifth victory in six games, 6-3 over the Blue Jays. Trout’s bases-clearing drive in the fourth chased Marcus Stroman, who entered the game with a 1.43 ERA. Randal Grichuk (GRIH’-chuhk) and Rowdy Tellez homered for the Blue Jays, who had won nine of 12 before losing the first two in this three-game series.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Cubs won for the 13th time in 17 games as Jon Lester combined with two relievers on a one-hitter in an 11-0 thrashing of the Mariners. Lester struck out eight and allowed only Ryon Healy’s single over seven innings. Javier Baez hit a solo homer and an RBI double while Chicago put together a six-run second.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Rockies coasted to an 11-4 romp over the Brewers as Nolan Arenado homered twice and drove in four runs. Trevor Story also connected and Colorado stopped a three-game skid with their highest-scoring output of the season. Tony Wolters added two RBIs on a tiebreaking single in the sixth inning and a sacrifice fly in the eighth.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Giants walked off with a 2-1 win over the Dodgers when Buster Posey delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Hyun-Jin Ryu had to settle for a no-decision after limiting San Francisco to a run and four hits over eight innings. Giants starter Madison Bumgarner was also sharp while yielding just a run and four hits while striking out eight over six frames.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pirates rookie Bryan Reynolds extended his career-opening hitting streak to nine games by lacing a three-run double in the fourth inning of a 7-5 win over the Rangers. Reynolds put the Bucs ahead to stay one day after his first career homerun gave them an 11-inning, 6-4 win that ended an eight-game losing streak. Joey Gallo, Danny Santana and Shin-Soo Choo homered for Texas.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Maikel (MY’-kehl) Franco hit a bases-clearing double in the seventh and Rhys Hoskins homered as the Phillies whipped the Tigers, 7-3.

Aaron Nola pitched 5 2\/3 innings of one-run ball in helping Philadelphia earn a split of the two-game interleague series.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dansby Swanson homered and drove in three to support Max Fried (freed) in the Braves’ 5-1 win over the Padres. Fried gave up one run and four hits in seven innings to outduel Cal Quantrill (KWAHN’-trihl), who overcame a shaky first inning to give up two runs on six hits and one walk in 5 2\/3s. Atlanta led just 2-1 in the seventh until pinch-hitter Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. hit an RBI single and Swanson followed with a two-run blast.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Edwin Diaz surrendered a tiebreaking homer in the ninth for the second straight appearance, giving up a blast by Jose Iglesias in the ninth inning of the Reds’ 1-0 downing of the Mets. Anthony DeSclafani and four relievers combined to limit New York to five hits. The Mets wasted a strong outing by Jacob deGrom (deh-GRAHM’), who allowed just three hits over seven shutout innings.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Richie Martin tripled in the eighth and scored the tiebreaking run on Jonathan Villar’s sacrifice fly as the Orioles beat the White Sox, 5-4 in Game 1 of a twinbill. Martin hit an RBI double as Baltimore chased Carlos Rod\u00f3n with a three-run fourth before the Birds ended a four-game skid. Dwight Smith Jr. tied it at 4 with a run-scoring double in the seventh.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The White Sox salvaged a split of their double header by downing the O’s, 7-6 on Yonder Alonso’s two-run single with two out in the ninth inning. With two down and runners on second and third, Jose Abreu was walked intentionally to get to Alonso, who lined a game-ending single into left field.<\/p>\n

They see it as a matter of fairness.<\/p>\n Turo says established rental car companies are trying to stifle competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… .REST OF TODAY…Sunny.
