Inter Miami rallies to beat Necaxa on penalty kicks in Leagues Cup after Messi exits with injury
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Luis Suárez had the game-winning penalty kick, and Inter Miami rallied to beat Necaxa in the Leagues Cup on Saturday night after losing Lionel Messi to a hamstring injury in the opening minutes. Jordi Alba had the tying goal on a header the made it 2-2 in the second minute of stoppage time to force the shootout. Inter Miami then converted all five of its penalty kicks, and goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo denied Tomás Badaloni in the third round of the shootout. Suárez hit the winning shot into the top left corner. Messi was injured around the eighth minute when he fell while being challenged by a pair of defenders near the penalty area. He walked slowly toward the Inter Miami bench before sitting down on the pitch. Trainers came out and worked on his right upper thigh area before he subbed out in the 11th. Miami played down a man the rest of regulation. Telasco Segovia put his side ahead 1-0 minute after Messi exited on a feed from Inter Miami newcomer Rodrigo De Paul, who had two assists in just his second match with the club. It was Segovia's second goal of the tournament. Badaloni tied it at 1 on a shot that he tapped past Ríos Novo to the bottom left corner in the 33rd. Ricardo Monreal put the Mexican club ahead on what looked to be the winning score in the 81st before veteran left back Alba snapped a header into the back of the net on De Paul's free kick. ___ AP soccer:

Astros reliever Neris intentionally balks to advance runner from second, then shouts at Red Sox
BOSTON (AP) — Houston Astros reliever Héctor Neris used a balk to advance a runner to third on Saturday, then had an exchange with Red Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson that led to a dustup between the teams. Neris surrendered Trevor Story's two-out RBI double in the seventh inning of Houston's 7-3 loss. The right-hander then balked, moving Story to third, before Carlos Narváez bounced to shortstop for the final out. As Neris made his way off the mound, he had words with Hudson and yelled toward the Red Sox dugout, causing both teams, including bullpens, to come on the field before order was quickly restored. Asked if he felt the Red Sox were stealing signs, Neris responded: 'Maybe. Maybe yes, maybe no." 'But I still wanted to concentrate," the 36-year-old right-hander continued. "In (that) situation, I want to do what I'm feeling in the moment. That is the reason why I moved him to third.' Neris declined to specify what he said to Hudson that caused the benches to empty. 'Nothing. It's part of the game,'' he said with a grin. 'Something funny. People come into (the clubhouse) maybe to hear what happened, but nothing serious.' Astros manager Joe Espada, speaking to the media before Neris, had no insight into what caused the confrontation. 'I'm actually going to ask Neris," he said. "I really don't know what words were exchanged to be honest with you.' ___ AP MLB:

Atlas crash out of the Leagues Cup!
It wasn't meant to be! Atlas suffered their second loss in the Leagues Cup and were eliminated from the competition. The Red and Blacks fell 3-1 to Orlando City. The Major League Soccer team showed no mercy against the Mexican team, taking the lead from the 5th minute. Although Matías Cóccaro evened the score at the start of the second half, the chances of a comeback were short-lived for the Guadalajara team, as two minutes later Martín Ojeda scored the 2-1. The additional time was not better for Atlas, as in addition to losing Cóccaro to a red card, Marco Pašalić sealed the deal with the third goal.
