NEW YORK (AP) — Hiroki Kuroda tied a career high by striking out 11 and the New York Yankees backed him with three home runs, beating the White Sox 4-0 on Saturday and ending Chicago’s four-game winning streak. A day after outfielder Dewayne Wise was perfect in his pro pitching debut during a mop-up role, he was perfect at the plate. He had three...

Wise sold the third base umpire just by diving into the stands to catch a foul ball. For good measure, he held his glove in the air in triumph and gave Derek Jeter a glove tap as he trotted for the dugout, the third out of the inning secured.

Two years after American Isner won an 11 hour five minute duel, which ended 70-68 in the fifth set, a similar battle played out on Court Two with Saturday’s protagonists going toe-to-toe for more than two hours in the fifth set alone. But at five hours 31 minutes, Cilic achieved his third-round win in less than half the time it took Isner to put away...
