Diego Rossi's penalty kick gives Columbus Crew a 1-1 tie against in-state rival FC Cincinnati
FC Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey scored in his second straight match. Despite the tie, FC Cincinnati (9-3-2) remains atop the Eastern Conference with 29 points.
It is the third straight tie for the Crew (7-1-6), who are in second place with 27 points.
Denkey opened the scoring in the sixth minute when he put it into the short side of the net. Luca Orellano and Sergio Santos kept it alive in the box before Evander made a bicycle kick pass for the assist to Denkey after Columbus goalkeeper Patrick Schulte was caught out of position.
Denkey is tied for third in MLS with eight goals. He has 10 goals in all competitions and is the fastest FC Cincinnati player to reach double digits since the club joined MLS in 2019.
Rossi converted the penalty kick in the 54th minute after FC Cincinnati's Nick Hagglund was called for a handball inside its own box. It was his team-leading seventh goal of the season and second on a penalty kick.
Cincinnati's Roman Celentano made a diving save in the 73rd minute, extending his left hand to stop a header by Jacen Russell-Rowe.
The Crew had a 9-7 advantage in shots and 6-3 in shots on goal. Celentano made five saves while Schulte had two.

David Fry's career-high 4 RBIs, Gavin Williams' 11 strikeouts power Guardians past Athletics 8-2
CLEVELAND (AP) — David Fry had a career-high four RBIs, Gavin Williams struck out 11 and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Athletics 8-2 on Sunday to take the weekend series. Angel Martínez had three hits, including a home run to lead off the seventh inning, for the Guardians, who have won eight of 10 after a 10-game losing streak. Nick Kurtz had a pair of doubles for the Athletics, who have lost nine of their last 10 in Cleveland. Williams (6-4) tied a career high in going seven innings and got his first win since June 1. He is 2-1 in his last nine starts. The right-hander — who gave up one run and four hits — struck out five of the first six Athletics hitters he faced. It was his first double-digit strikeout game since Aug. 12, 2023, against Tampa Bay. Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs (8-7) had his two-game winning streak snapped after he allowed five runs and nine hits in four innings. Key moment Cleveland had the bases loaded in the fourth inning when Fry lined a double off Springs down the left-field line and into the corner. The three-run double extended the Guardians lead to 5-0. Key stat Cleveland won the season series 4-2. It is the first time since 1956, when the Athletics were based in Philadelphia, that Cleveland has won four straight season series from their longtime AL rival. Up next Athletics: Head to Texas for three games. LHP Jacob Lopez (3-5, 4.20 ERA) takes the mound on Monday. Guardians: RHP Tanner Bibee (5-9, 4.29 ERA) goes on Monday in the first of a four-game series against Baltimore. ___ AP MLB:
