MIAMI (AP) — C.J. Cron and Jurickson Profar hit two-run homers and Peter Lambert pitched five shutout innings in the Colorado Rockies’ 6-1 victory Friday night over the Miami Marlins, who dropped their seventh straight since the All-Star break. Lambert (2-1) struck out three while giving up three hits and a walk, returning from a three-week stint in the minors aimed at converting him into a starter after struggling as a reliever. He lowered his ERA from 6.28 to 5.49. The homers by Cron, Profar and a solo shot by Elias Diaz all came off Marlins starter Braxton Garrett (5-3), who gave up six runs over three innings.

Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill could use some good sailing mojo on home waters.The Americans struggled in Chicago in the opening regatta of SailGP’s fourth season and are looking to rebound when tech baron Larry Ellison’s global league makes its Southern California debut in the Oracle Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix this weekend.The U.S. crew has regressed since Season 2, when Spithill took over a struggling squad and led it into the $1 million, winner-take-all championship race that was won by Team Australia. They finished eighth out of nine teams last season and then were ninth out of 10 teams on Lake Michigan a month ago, finishing ahead of only newcomer Germany. Four of 12 regattas this season will be in U.S. cities and a good showing in the steady breezes on the Port of Los Angeles’ Outer Harbor would be huge for the Americans aboard their 50-foot foiling catamaran, which has an image of the Statue of Liberty on the wingsail.“I think it’s really important.
