BASEBALL
Jordan Beck singled in the winning run with one out in the eighth inning Friday night and the Hartford Yard Goats went on to a 2-1 victory against the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field.
After Warming Bernabel gave Hartford a 1-0 lead with a single in the second, Blaze Jordan tied it with an RBI single in the fourth.
Four Hartford pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts.
GOLF
EUROPEAN: Ludvig Åberg birdied No. 18 in fading light to take a share of the lead. Rory McIlroy did the same to almost certainly make the cut in the BMW Championship at Virginia Water, England.
In a chaotic finish to the second round, Åberg and McIlroy won their own personal battles down the storied par-5 last hole at Wentworth, where – for a while – nine balls were regularly in play as players backed up to complete their rounds in close-to-dark conditions.
Most of the light shining on the green came from the giant illuminated scoreboard as Åberg, the 23-year-old Swede tipped to be the next big thing in golf, rolled in a putt from 4 feet for a 6-under 66 to tie for the lead with compatriot Sebastian Soderberg (64) at 10 under.
GOLF: S.H. Kim made six birdies and one bogey for a 67 and a share of the lead with Sahith Theegala (64) at 12-under 132 at the Fortinet Championship at Napa, California.

GERMANY: Exequiel Palacios scored on a penalty kick in injury time for Bayer Leverkusen to hold 11-time defending champion Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw at Munich and declare itself a title contender.

SPAIN: The new coach of the national women’s team had to delay the announcement of her first squad after nearly all of the country’s World Cup-winning players maintained their boycott as part of their fight against sexism in soccer.
TENNIS
DAVIS CUP: Andy Murray came from behind to beat Leandro Riedi 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-4 and give Britain a winning start in its 2-1 victory over Switzerland in the group stage of the finals, then was overcome by emotion.
“Today is a tough day for me. It’s my gran’s funeral today,” Murray said. “I’m sorry to my family that I’m not able to be there but Gran, this one’s for you.”
