Bangladesh whip Zimbabwe
Abdur Razzak grabbed five wickets as Bangladesh whipped Zimbabwe by 26 runs in the third one-day international in Bogra, Bangladesh, on Tuesday to gain an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. The left-arm spinner finished with a career-best haul of 5-33 as the hosts defended their modest total of 220 by dismissing Zimbabwe for 194. Middle-order batsman Sean Williams slammed a career-best 68 for a second successive half-century, but his effort failed to stop Bangladesh from winning the day-night match.

Red Sox, Drew clinch deal
The Boston Red Sox and outfielder JD Drew have agreed on a five-year, US$70 million contract, Drew's agent Scott Boras said on Tuesday. The deal is pending a physical, which Boras said should take place in the next several days. The signing could be a precursor for the Red Sox to finally move slugger Manny Ramirez, who has been involved in trade rumors for each of the last several seasons. Drew, 31, hit .283 with 20 home runs and a career-high 100 RBI this past season.

Schumacher honored in Italy
Michael Schumacher was granted honorary citizenship on Tuesday in Ferrari's hometown. The seven-time Formula One champion spent the last 11 years racing for Ferrari before retiring in October at the end of this season. Maranello Mayor Lucia Bursi presented Schumacher with the keys to the city inside the Enzo Ferrari auditorium, as Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo looked on. Schumacher offered his thanks in Italian, a language he rarely speaks in public. "I'm very honored," he said. "Thank you to everyone that made this possible." The mayor of Kerpen -- Schumacher's hometown in Germany -- said in October that the city will not bestow any honors on the driver because of his lack of "social commitment" to the town. Schumacher now lives in Switzerland.

Nino suspended over drugs
WBC light flyweight champion Omar Nino of Mexico was temporarily suspended on Tuesday after testing positive for methamphetamine after last month's title bout, Nevada boxing regulators said. He is the first boxer to test positive for methamphetamine in Nevada. The Nevada Athletic Commission decided to keep Nino out of the ring until it could hold a formal hearing, probably in January, commission executive director Keith Kizer said. Two tests on a urine sample taken after the Nov. 18 title fight came back positive, enough to bring a case before the commission, Kizer said. Nino has denied using the drug.
SSC Napoli will have to wait one more week to seal the Serie A title after on Sunday being held to a goalless draw at Parma, while closest rivals Inter drew 2-2 in a dramatic game with SS Lazio. Antonio Conte’s team stayed one point ahead of Inter and were unfortunate not to win after twice striking the woodwork through Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Matteo Politano, while Scott McTominay also had a free-kick tipped onto the crossbar. The away side thought they would be handed a chance to take the points from the penalty spot in the 96th minute when David Neres
Omar Marmoush’s stunning long-range strike on Tuesday upstaged Kevin de Bruyne on the Manchester City great’s Etihad farewell. Marmoush let fly from about 30m to put City ahead in their 3-1 win against AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League. The victory moved Pep Guardiola’s team up to third in the standings and left qualification for the UEFA Champions League in their own hands heading into the last round of the season. “It’s really important. To be in the Champions League after what happened [this season] will be really nice,” the City manager said. De Bruyne was making his final home appearance for City before
Brighton & Hove Albion’s Jack Hinshelwood on Monday sealed a dramatic 3-2 victory against Liverpool to leave the English Premier League champions without a win since clinching the title. Arne Slot’s side took the lead through Harvey Elliott’s early opener before Yasin Ayari equalized at the American Express Stadium. Dominik Szoboszlai restored Liverpool’s advantage just before halftime, but Brighton staged a late fightback as Kaoru Mitoma leveled before Hinshelwood came off the bench to net with his first touch. Liverpool have taken just one point from their three matches following the title-clinching rout of Tottenham Hotspur on April 27. The Reds have lost at
Logan O’Hoppe, Taylor Ward and Matthew Lugo homered, and the Los Angeles Angels spoiled Clayton Kershaw’s season debut, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-9 on Saturday night to take the first two games of the three-game series. Kershaw allowed three runs and threw 38 pitches in the first inning. The three-time National League Cy Young Award winner lasted four innings, giving up five runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Shoulder, toe and knee injuries limited Kershaw to seven games last season, and his 2025 debut was delayed as he recovered from multiple offseason surgeries. O’Hoppe had two hits with
