The ALCS is 2–1 in favor of Boston after last nights 8–2 win over Houston. Jackie Bradley Jr. broke the game open with a grand slam in the 8th inning. Game 4 is scheduled for tonight at 7:39 pm with Rick Porcello vs Charlie Morton.

Stars lost to New Jersey 3–0 last night. And the Mavericks start their season in Phoenix tonight.

The Atlanta Falcons will place two-time Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman on injured reserve with a groin injury, coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday. “Following the game against Pittsburgh, where Devonta injured his foot, we thought he was just having general soreness in his groin area,” Quinn said. “As the week went on, it continued, so we decided to have him get some tests. It has been determined that he will need a procedure that will result in us placing him on injured reserve.

Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa has withdrawn from school to focus on his rehabilitation of an injured core muscle, the Buckeyes announced Tuesday. The All-American will now presumably turn his attention to the 2019 NFL draft.

NY Giants owner John Mara is unhappy about all aspects of his team’s 1-5 start, and he definitely didn’t enjoy star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s televised interview with ESPN’s Josina Anderson two Sundays ago. “I wish he would create the headlines by his play on the field as opposed to what he says and what he does off the field,” Mara said Tuesday during a break at the NFL owners meetings. “I think he needs to do a little more playing and a little less talking.”
