By JOE REEDY, Associated Press Sports Writer ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Besides being a fan, John Oliver has had a certain affinity for minor league baseball.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is adding author to his list of accomplishments. The Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar has co-written a children’s book starring his beloved dog, Decoy. Ohtani posted a photo of Decoy, a Dutch Kooikerhondje, sitting next to the book on his Instagram account on Thursday. The cover of “Decoy Saves Opening Day” features a drawing of the pup with a ball in his mouth and Ohtani in his baseball jersey. It tells the story of how Decoy is supposed to throw the first pitch on opening day but realizes he left his lucky baseball at…
The Boston Celtics are interested in Ben Simmons. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported the Simmons-Celtics link, noting that the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Sacramento Kings are also interested. Last season, Simmons played 51 games split between the Brooklyn Nets and LA Clippers, posting averages of 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists, with a 52 percent field goal percentage and nearly 73 percent from the free-throw line. At 29, Simmons needs a career revival. The former No. 1 overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers once earned All-NBA honors and three All-Star nods, but that seems like…
The Boston Red Sox badly needed a win Sunday to avoid being swept by the Chicago Cubs in their first series after the MLB All-Star break, and Garrett Crochet stepped up and delivered. The Cubs scored four runs Friday and six on Saturday in wins over the Red Sox, but they couldn’t muster much offense versus Crochet in the series finale. Boston’s ace allowed only one earned run on eight hits while striking out five and walking two over six innings. The Red Sox won 6-1, improving Crochet’s record to 11-4. He now leads, or is tied for the lead,…

CHICAGO (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are taking a deliberate approach with Alex Bregman in his return from a quad strain.So far, everything is going smoothly.Bregman played in consecutive games on Friday and Saturday for the first time since he got hurt in May. He was out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs, but he connected for a big pinch-hit homer in Boston’s 6-1 victory.“We got to be smart,” Bregman said. “I’m back probably a month and a half, maybe a little less, early than we expected. The leg’s feeling great. We’re checking in every…
The Red Sox finished the first part of their tour of first place National League teams with a somewhat disappointing 1-2 against the Chicago Cubs. Missing offense on Friday and Saturday meant two solid outings by Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello were squandered. Boston sits at 54-47 (.535) in third place in the AL East. They are five games back of the Toronto Blue Jays and two games behind the New York Yankees. Boston and the Seattle Mariners are tied and occupy two of the three Wild Card spots with a 1.5 game lead on the Tampa Bay Rays. The…
