Josh Donaldson’s Mad Dash Sweeps Away Rangers, Sends Blue Jays To ALCS
Share this: The Toronto Blue Jays won their 2016 war with the Texas Rangers. The Blue Jays defeated the Rangers in 10 innings in Game 3 of the teams’ American League Division Series on Sunday night at Rogers Centre to complete a sweep and punch their ticket to the ALCS. Toronto walked off with the victory Sunday after Texas second baseman Rougned Odor committed a throwing error while trying to complete a double play, allowing Josh Donaldson to race around from second base with the winning run. Donaldson led off the bottom of the 10th inning with a double.

NBA Rumors: Celtics Interested In Signing Cavaliers Guard J.R. Smith
Share this: J.R. Smith played a key role in helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first NBA championship last season, but will he be taking his talents to an Eastern Conference rival this campaign?

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported Sunday that “several teams” are interested in Smith, and that the Boston Celtics are among them.

Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox’s season lives to see at least another day. Game 3 of the American League Division Series between the Red Sox and Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park was postponed Sunday due to rain, pushing the contest to Monday at 6:08 p.m. ET. Playoff rainouts can have a big impact on pitching availability, especially in a five-game series. But in the case of the Red Sox and Indians, not much will change in Game 3: Both managers confirmed Sunday that Boston’s Clay Buchholz and Cleveland’s Josh Tomlin still are set to start Monday. The Red Sox, of course, face a do-or-die situation trailing the series 0-2, and Sunday’s rainout will help give a breather to a bullpen that employed six pitchers
