CHICAGO (AP) — Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was ejected in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.Francona was tossed by first base umpire Todd Tichenor for arguing after Steven Kwan was doubled off first.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray’s football career was nearly flawless for the first 25 years of his life: First, he was a Texas high school phenom, then a Heisman Trophy winner, then the No. 1 overall pick for the Arizona Cardinals, then a two-time Pro Bowl selection.In all those situations, Murray was being compared to other football players.These days, the competition is with himself.“This is different,” Murray said. “This is you-on-you. Nobody really knows what you’re going through except for yourself and whoever you’re working out with.”Murray, who turns 26 on Aug. 7, is working his way back to football relevancy following an underwhelming fourth season that was cut short by a torn ACL in his right knee against the New England Patriots on Dec. 12. The quarterback acknowledged some tough days after the surgery — nights when it was tough to sleep because of the pain — but said he’s not feeling sorry for himself as he works to get back to the field.“I ge...
