The Ottawa Redblacks refuse to lose at home. Off to their best start ever after seven games, the Redblacks won their fourth straight at T-D Place by crushing the visiting Calgary Stampeders 33-6. The Redblacks improved to 5-and-2, good enough for second place in the C-F-L’s East Division. The Stamps, winless on the road, slipped to 3-and-4.
Ernie Clement singled in the ninth inning with the bases loaded to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 6-5 walk-off victory over the visiting Texas Rangers, halting the defending World Series champion’s win streak at five games. Vladimir Guerrero Junior reached base four times as the Blue Jays ended a six-game losing skid against the Rangers. Adolis García homered and drove in three runs for Texas.
Josh Rojas, Dylan Moore and Victor Robles hit consecutive homers in Seattle’s eight-run first inning and the Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 10-0 to snap a three-game slide. George Kirby pitched seven strong innings as Seattle won for just the second time in 10 games and handed the major-league worst White Sox their 12th straight loss. The Mariners entered one game behind first-place Houston in the A-L West after once having a 10-game lead in the division.
American Lauren Coughlin held onto the lead in the C-P-K-C Canadian Women’s Open, while Canadian star Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ontario was derailed by closing bogeys at windy Earl Grey Golf Club in Calgary. Coughlin followed her opening 4-under 68 on Thursday with a 70 on Friday to get to 6 under, a stroke ahead of Hannah Green of Australia and Haeran Ryu of South Korea. Henderson is tied for 26th with Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherwood, Quebec. Both are at 1 over.
Visiting C-F Montreal surrendered three goals in the first half en route to a 4-1 setback against Orlando City Soccer Club in the group stage opener of the 2024 Leagues Cup. Josef Martínez scored in the 69th minute for C-F Montreal to prevent the shutout. Montreal will conclude the group stage of the tourney by hosting Atlético de San Luis of LIGA M-X on Tuesday.
Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds is expected to be in attendance today for Wrexham’s friendly against the Vancouver Whitecaps at B-C Place, the manager for the Welsh side said. Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney acquired Wrexham in 2020, and the club’s F-X docu-series has catapulted the team into prominence. The match against the Whitecaps will be Wrexham’s first-ever game in Canada.
