Read MoreUndav scores twice as Germany beats Ivory Coast 2-1, advances to World Cup knockout phase
TORONTO (AP) — An hour into the game, Germany was getting outplayed by Ivory Coast and trailed by a goal. Coach Julian Nagelsmann needed a spark and substituted in three fresh players, one of whom was Deniz Undav. That decision paid off big time. Undav scored twice as Germany defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 on Saturday and clinched a spot in the knockout phase at the World Cup. “It’s important that everyone sees that even the players from the bench can decide games,” said Undav, who also scored in Germany’s 7-1 opening match rout of Curacao. “Now we have a really important signal to the team. I think that’s very important in a game like this.” Four minutes into stoppage time, ... Read MoreDutch royals swap orange for blue as they cheer for the Netherlands, then Curaçao at the World Cup
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands began Saturday by cheering the Dutch past Sweden in Houston. The monarchs ended the day by watching Curacao play Ecuador in Kansas City. The small island nation of Curacao is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and that makes King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima the heads of state. So, after a quick flight north Saturday, the royal couple dutifully swapped out their bright orange scarves of Het Oranje Legioen they wore to their earlier match with bright blue ones for The Blue Wave. Curacao, the smallest World Cup team in population and size, made its tournament debut last Sunday in a 7-1 loss to ...

SEATTLE (AP) — Alex Freeman may not have one-upped his famous father yet, but he could be on his way. The son of Super Bowl champion wide receiver Antonio Freeman scored on a header for the United States in its 2-0 World Cup win over Australia on Friday. It was the third international goal for Freeman, the Americans’ youngest starter at age 21. With the U.S. leading 1-0 in the 43rd minute, Antonee Robinson sent a free kick to Sergiño Dest, who fired a shot from just outside the penalty area. The ball deflected off an Australian defender and high into the air, and Freeman leaped — high-pointing the ball, in NFL terms — and headed it past the outstretched ...

ATLANTA (AP) — As a veteran in his 10th season with the Atlanta Braves, Ozzie Albies has played on seven teams that advanced to the postseason. After he had the biggest hit in the Braves’ latest comeback win, Albies said only the 2021 World Series championship team compares with this club’s refusal to give up. Albies hit two homers, including a walk-off, two-run shot in the ninth, as the Braves rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Saturday. It was Atlanta’s 25th comeback win, second in the majors to Arizona’s 26. “This team is really special,” Albies said. “I’ve been on this team a long time. Really special group each and every year, but this one I would say ... Read MoreJose Altuve, Jeremy Peña power the Astros past the Guardians, 9-3

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is a father again. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar posted the news of his latest addition on his Instagram account Saturday. “We are again overjoyed to experience this wonderful day in our lives together. Thank you for being born safely,” read a message from Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka. They also also thanked supporters.

Tucked in the baby’s arms was a tiny stuffed version of Ohtani’s beloved dog, Decoy, who also got his own photo at the bottom of the post. ... Read MoreWyndham Clark turning the US Open into a runaway. Scheffler still has hope for a slam
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Not even Shinnecock Hills and its strongest test of the week in the U.S. Open could match the toughness of Wyndham Clark on Saturday. Clark had a collection of par saves around the turn as Scottie Scheffler was making a move and poured it on with a fairway metal to 4 feet for eagle on the par-5 16th for an even-par 70 that gave him a six-shot lead. No one has ever lost more than a five-shot lead in 125 previous editions of golf’s toughest test. Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters is the only player to lose a six-shot lead in any major. Shinnecock Hills did its part, even after the strongest wind subsided. Only ... Read MoreWithout the injured Christian Pulisic, US beats Australia 2-0 to advance to World Cup knockout round
SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. national soccer team advanced to the knockout round at the World Cup without injured forward Christian Pulisic on the field, beating Australia 2-0 on Friday. A deep U.S. roster earned a knockout berth after only two matches for the first time. The last time the Americans served as World Cup hosts in 1994, they advanced by being one of the best third-place teams. They then lost to eventual champion Brazil in their next match, which was in the round of 16. Pulisic, who plays for AC Milan and has 33 goals in 87 international appearances, missed Friday’s match because of a calf injury. “C.P. is a fantastic player — the quality and the leadership that ...
