Yasmani Grandal has ended the St. Louis Cardinals’ bid for a combined no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers with a two-out double in the eighth inning. Dakota Hudson went the first 6 2/3 innings for the Cardinals but was pulled after throwing 111 pitches Monday night. He struck out seven and walked four — including his final batter, Eric Thames. Giovanny Gallegos entered and retired Ben Gamel on a grounder to end the inning. Orlando Arcia reached on an error to begin the eighth before Gallegos got two outs. Grandal then hooked a 1-2 slider just inside the right field line and the ball bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double. Andrew Miller relieved and preserved a 3-0 lead for St. Louis when Mike Moustakas grounded out with the bases loaded. The 24-year-old Hudson has completed seven innings twice in his two-year major league career. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Copyright 2019 The Associated Press.

US women footballers’ equal pay lawsuit to go to trial in 2020
LOS ANGELES -- The equal pay lawsuit filed by US women footballers against the US Soccer Federation has been scheduled to go to trial on May 5, 2020, the players' spokesperson said Monday. The gender discrimination lawsuit regarding unequal pay and working conditions was filed on March 8 by 28 players, and Monday's trial date, set by US District Judge R. Gary Klausner in Los Angeles, comes a week after the players and the federation reached an impasse in mediation. "We are pleased with the expeditious schedule that has been set by the Court and we are eager to move forward with this case," Molly Levinson, a spokesperson for the US women players, said in a statement. "We very much look forward to the trial in May 2020 when the players will have their day in court. "We have every confidence that these world champion athletes will get what they legally deserve -— nothing less than equal pay and working conditions."

Twins peak early in 6-4 loss to White Sox
A large crowd welcomed the Minnesota Twins home from a 5-1 road trip on Monday, and the night started auspiciously when the home team used three consecutive hits to open a 2-0 lead on the Chicago White Sox. When a squirrel scurried behind the batters’ boxes and into the Twins’ dugout with Nelson Cruz at the plate, the announced crowd of 25,564 at Target Field became downright giddy. Alas, there was a quick end to Minnesota’s fun. Jose Abreu capped a four-run third inning with a mammoth, three-run home run off Kyle Gibson, and the White Sox added an insurance run on a perfectly executed squeeze play in the seventh in a 6-4 victory over the Twins. Twins’ lead in the American League Central was trimmed to two games over idle Cleveland. After Eddie Rosario’s two-out single in the ninth, Minnesota brought the winning run to the plate in the form of Miguel Sano but he struck out swinging with runners at first and second. Given a quick lead, Gibson (11-6) … [Read more...] about Twins peak early in 6-4 loss to White Sox
