Big night for Marcus Semien, but A’s winning streak ends at six
Marcus Semien’s magnificent season, obvious to those who follow the team regularly, is going to have to start opening some eyes nationally at some point. In Oakland’s 6-5 loss to Kansas City at the Coliseum on Monday night, the shortstop became the team’s season home run leader batting leadoff — passing Rickey Henderson’s mark of 28 set in 1990. Semien didn’t know he’d done so until after the game, but noted “he was here today, too, sitting behind home plate. He’s still one of us, he spends a lot of time with us, he’s like one of our teammates. It’s pretty special. He was my dad’s favorite player growing up, a Hall of Famer, so it’s cool to be in any conversation with him.” The A’s magic number to clinch a playoff spot remained at 10 when closer Liam Hendriks allowed two runs in the ninth, one on a homer by No. 9 hitter Brett Phillips and the other helped by an error by Ramón Laureano, who … [Read more...] about Big night for Marcus Semien, but A’s winning streak ends at six
Browns post Monday night victory over Jets
Freddie Kitchens became the sixth former Alabama player to earn a victory as an NFL head coach when the Cleveland Browns defeated the New York Jets 23-3 on Monday night. In the second game of his first season at the Browns' helm, Kitchens joined Harry Gilmer, Ray Perkins, Mike Riley, Bart Starr and Richard Williamson as former Crimson Tide players with NFL coaching victories. By percentage, Kitchens owns a better record than any of his predecessors. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made another crazy, one-handed catch and turned a short pass into an 89-yard touchdown reception at MetLife Stadium on Monday night. But instead of performing those feats for the New York Giants, Beckham did them for his new team, the Browns. In the visiting Browns' victory, Beckham caught six passes for 161 yards and one touchdown. Beckham played the previous five seasons for the Giants, who traded him to Cleveland in March. The Jets didn’t get have much going for them as they played without … [Read more...] about Browns post Monday night victory over Jets

Martinez, who turns 55 on Sept. 26, experienced chest pains during Washington's home game Sunday against Atlanta, left in the sixth inning and was taken to a hospital. Bench coach Chip Hale will manage the Nats during the absence of Martinez. NBA owners team up on tequila venture When Michael Jordan decided to get into the tequila business, he could have slapped his name on the label, maybe autographed a few bottles and sold out the whole run in hours. No matter what it tasted like. Instead, the basketball hall of famer and owner of the Charlotte Hornets teamed up with owners from the Celtics, Lakers and Bucks to create an ultra-premium blend of the agave liquor that has already won prizes at tasting competitions from New York to Los Angeles. "It's not about the ownership group. It's not a celebrity-endorsed brand," said Emilia Fazzalari, the CEO of Cincoro Tequila and the wife of Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck. "It was never about that. For us, it has always been about the … [Read more...] about MORNING ROUNDUP: Cubs’ Rizzo likely out for at least one week
