Tuesday’s Sports

 

NHL

John Klingberg scored on the Stars’ first shot, and the Golden Knights’ 25 shots didn’t hit. Dallas beat Vegas 1-0 in a hard-hitting, defensive Game 1 of the Western Conference final. It was Dallas’ first NHL playoff shutout in the Stars’ first 1-0 playoff win in regulation since 2000. Game 3 is Thursday at 7:00 pm with Dallas leading 1-0.

MLB

The surging Seattle Mariners completed a four-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with an 8-4-win Monday afternoon. Dylan Moore hit a solo home run and added a three-run double, and Kyle Seager hit a two-run home run. Seattle won its sixth straight and 11th in the past 14. After starting 8-19, the Mariners are back within three games of .500. Moore drove in a career-high four runs.

The Rangers will host the Los Angeles Angels tonight in the opener of a three-game series, with last-place Texas knowing that its playoff chances are all but hopeless. With six consecutive losses, Texas (13-27) is 7 1/2 games out of a playoff position. The Angels (17-25) are 4 1/2 games back in the postseason race.

PGA

Dustin Johnson won the FedEx Cup on Monday by holding his nerve, hitting just enough fairways, and making a few key putts when his lead began to shrink. He tapped in for birdie on the last hole for a 2-under 68, giving him a three-shot victory in the Tour Championship.

HIGH SCHOOL
