Dortmund coach Niko Kovač says MetLife Stadium field more suited to golf than to soccer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — In the eyes of Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovač, the MetLife Stadium field was better suited for a round of golf than a match at the Club World Cup. And the New York area's summer heat also was inappropriate for high-level soccer. 'It's more a golf green, so you can putt here,' Kovač said after Saturday's 3-2 quarterfinal loss to Real Madrid. 'It's very short. But this is not the grass we are used to playing on in the Bundesliga and also in the other two stadiums.' Dortmund played its opening group match at MetLife, the site of the Club World Cup semifinals and championship, and of next year's World Cup final. The German team played two matches at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium and its round of 16 game at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 'As you saw, the watering wasn't good enough, I would say, because you don't have the devices for that.' Kovač said. 'When it's too dry, it's unbelievable. It's sticking.' On a sunny afternoon, the temperature at the 3 p.m. kickoff was 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) in East Rutherford. Similar temperatures or higher are expected for next year's World Cup, where 11 venues are in the U.S., and most do not have roofs or air-conditioning. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. During the 1994 World Cup, 28 of 52 matches had kickoff times from noon to 2 p.m. EDT, better for European viewing. Kickoff times for next year's 104-game tournament are likely to be set after the draw in December. 'We played two times in Cincinnati. The first time it was 12 o'clock. The second time it was 3 p.m. and the pitch we had temperatures of around about 45 degrees (113 degrees Fahrenheit),' Kovač said. 'When the temperature is 45 degrees, this is not amazing. This is very hard for someone, and the players, they must play these games. 'Today, we had 35 degrees (95 degrees Fahrenheit). It's also not much better, to be honest. But, OK, this a tournament we need to play. And I would suggest — my suggestion, that the kickoff time will be a little later. … So the intensity is also much higher. And as a supporter, as a spectator, you would like to see intensive, aggressive, up-and-down football. So when it's too hot, then it's difficult to play this kind of football.' ___ AP soccer:

Phillies' Ranger Suárez gets a shorter start as the ace left-hander's workload grows
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ranger Suárez has piled up enough pitches and innings this season for the reigning NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies to fit the modern definition of a workhorse. On Saturday, it was time for a break. Or at least time to shorten the left-hander's outing against Cincinnati to give him some rest and try to prevent wear and tear on a body that broke down at the end of last season. Suárez was pulled after just five innings and 80 pitches, the fewest of each since his first start of the season in early May. Suárez earned a no-decision but did his part — along with home runs from Alec Bohm, Kyle Schwarber and Edmundo Sosa — to help the Phillies beat the Reds 5-1. Manger Rob Thomson said because of a recent heavy workload, Suárez entered on an 85-pitch limit. Suárez had pitched at least seven innings in each of his last five starts and thrown at least six in all but his first start of the year, when he allowed seven runs in 3 2/3 innings. Suárez (7-2, 1.99 ERA) has been superb since then. He made six June starts and threw at least 94 pitches in all of them, and he has a 1.22 ERA over his last 11 starts. 'We went into today just trying to pull back a little bit,' Thomson said. 'I don't really concern myself with (velocity) because he pitches and that's what he did today. He threw strikes, first-pitch strikes.' Suárez said he agreed with Thomson's decision to play it safe with his left shoulder and back. Suárez has not allowed more than one earned run since June 7 at Pittsburgh, and he's permitted one or zero earned runs in nine of his 12 starts. Even though he missed April as he recovered from a back injury, Suárez's numbers are strong enough to merit consideration for a second straight All-Star nod. Thomson stumped for his star pitcher — who's eligible for free agency at the end of the season — along with fellow starters Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez to represent the NL on July 15 in Atlanta. He'll find out Sunday if he's on the team. 'When the season starts, one of the goals you have as a player is to go to the All-Star Game,' Suárez said through an interpreter. 'On that end, I'm a little hopeful. If that happens, I'm excited about it. But I think the main thing for us right now is to focus on just finishing the season as healthy as possible.' The Phillies have reason to be cautious with Suárez as they chase their fourth straight playoff berth and first World Series title since 2008. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Suárez went 10-2 with a 1.83 ERA in 16 starts last season through June 25 before a bad back stuck him on the injured list and he tailed off with a 2-6 mark and a 6.54 ERA over his last 11 starts. Suárez also missed time with a back injury in 2022. The Phillies need Suárez healthy and at his best in October, even if pitch counts cost him a win in July. 'If we have to do it again,' Thomson said, 'we'll do it again.' ___ AP MLB:
