Twenty five years after the first
Dipsea Race Hall of Fame class was
inducted, Sal Vasquez, the seven-
time champion — the most in the
race’s history — returned to the
Dipsea Race Foundation Dinner
Friday night as the only living
member of inaugural class.
“I love this race,” Va squez
said. “T his my favorite race...
and not just because I won it so
many times, but because it’s the
first race I ever ran with moun-

WARRIORS COMMENTARY
The best thing to happen to NBA
The Warriors’ Draymond Green celebrates after defeating the Cavaliers 108-85 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals to win the championship on
Friday in Cleveland. Next to Green are Kevin Durant, left, and Klay Thompson.

BELMONT STAKES
Justify wins
Triple Crown,
puts name in
history books
By Beth Harris
The Associated Press
NEW YORK >> Justify defied all the
odds on his way to achieving Tri-
ple Crown immortality.
The late bloomer won the Bel-
mont Stakes by 13/4 lengths on Sat-
urday, giving the sport its 13th
Triple Crown champion and sec-
ond in four years.
Justify began his racing career
on Feb. 18, a scant 77 days before
the Kentucky Derby. He won his
first three races by a combined 19
lengths, making trainer Bob Baf-
fert a believer.
The chestnut colt burst onto the
national scene with a 21/2-length
victory on a sloppy track in the
Derby. Two weeks later, he sur-
vived a challenge in the Preak-
ness, winning by a half-length,
again in the slop to set up a Tri-
ple Crown try.
On an 80-degree day at Bel-
mont Park, Justify was a cool cus-
tomer.
He didn’t flinch when greeted
by a roaring crowd as he walked
onto the track. He stood so quietly
in the starting gate that jockey
Mike Smith wondered if he’d re-

NBA
Warriors fly in with third title in four years
By Cam Inman
Bay Area News Group
OAKLAND >> Stephen Curry
emerged from a Boeing 747
at Oakland International
Airport Saturday carry-
ing the Larry O’Brien NBA
Championship Trophy, a
joyful replication of a scene
from June 2015.
This time, the Warriors
superstar guard had an-
other escort. Kevin Du-
rant, the superstar for-
ward who wasn’t with the
team in 2015, was at Cur-
ry’s side, holding the NBA
Finals MVP trophy as the
California sun splashed off
Kurtenbach
FROM PAGE 1
that they are bad for bas-
ketball and the NBA is lu-
dicrous.
Since the beginning of
their incredible four-year
run — the winningest
four-year run in NBA his-
tory — the Warriors have
pushed the NBA to new
heights by raising the bar
of success for the league’s
other 29 teams.
Many — perhaps most —
will fail to notice it, but the
axiom is true: a rising tide
raises all ships.
Right now, the War-
riors, having won three of
the last four champion-
ships and back-to-back ti-
tles after adding Hall of
Fame scorer Kevin Durant
in a shock move in the sum-
mer of 2016, seem to have
an unfair advantage. But
those who are complain-
ing and ascribing a larger
value to the Warriors’ dom-
inance are failing to see the
big picture.
There is a larger value,
but it’s not negative: the
Warriors are the best thing
that ever happened to the
NBA.
Through innovation, in-
genuity, and — yes — luck,
the Warriors have elevated
the level of play and compe-
tition in the NBA. It might
not have been in evidence
these last two NBA Finals,
but you will notice it next
year and beyond.
And that massive, “un-
fair” talent advantage the
Warriors have been accused
of having? It’s becoming
more fair by the year.
As such, the upcoming
offseason is massive for not
only the rest of the league,
but for the Warriors as well.
Golden State can’t afford
Durant
FROM PAGE 1
to be named Finals MVP
in consecutive seasons, he
stressed that his insistence
on clutching the trophy did
not symbolize any obsession
with winning it. Durant re-
mained mindful of the close
Finals MVP race with team-
mate Stephen Curry. While
Durant received seven of 11
votes among select media
members, Curry had four.
“Steph knows he played
a great game. Without him,
we don’t win. He knows
that. I know that. We all
know that,” Durant told
The Bay Area News Group.
“We stand firm in that. So
trophies and accolades and
praise, that doesn’t mat-
ter when we win. We know
we’re all contributing some-
thing in a special way.”
Durant then praised var-
ious role players, including
Quinn Cook, Jordan Bell,
Kevon Looney and Zaza Pa-
chulia, Yet, there is no ques-
tion that Durant and Curry
offered the most special
contributions during The
Finals.
Durant averaged 28.8
points while shooting 52.6
percent from the field and
40.9 percent from 3-point
range, along with 10.8 re-
bounds and 7.5 assists.
Curry averaged 27.5 points
while shooting 40.2 percent
from the field and 41.5 per-
cent from 3-point range,
along with 6.8 assists and
6.0 rebounds.
Despite Durant’s su-
perior numbers in all of
those categories, the de-
cision did not seem so ob-
vious. But Game 3 might
have been the deciding fac-
tor. Durant had 43 points
on 15-of-23 shooting, 13 re-
their golden hardware.
Next up is Tuesday’s pa-
rade through downtown
Oakland.
“The parade’s going to be
awesome,” said Steve Kerr,
the coach of three champi-
onship teams in four years.
“We’re making it an annual
event.”
A couple thousand fans
showed up to welcome the
team home from their suc-
cessful title defense, 20
mostly sleepless hours after
sweeping the Cleveland Cav-
aliers with a 108-85 rout Fri-
day night in Game 4.
It was the Warriors fourth
straight appearance in the Fi-
to rest on its laurels — the
competition around them
stands to be too formidable
in 2019 and beyond.
It should be noted,
though, that the man
tasked with putting to-
gether these Warriors —
general manager Bob My-
ers — does not care if he is
“ruining the league” by as-
sembling a preponderance
of talent in Oakland. After
all, that’s what he has been
tasked to do — literally —
by team owner Joe Lacob.
“It’s not in my job de-
scription to please NBA
fans. It’s to win,” Myers said
evenly the day before Game
4 in Cleveland. “I don’t
need to be entertained. I
just need to win. That’s
all it is. That’s what I was
hired to do. Everyone’s en-
titled to how that looks to
them or feels — I get to de-
cide how it feels for me.”
And how it feels for My-
ers isn’t anything like how
it feels for those crying that
the Warriors are an un-
beatable juggernaut. To
Myers, it seems so precar-
ious.
“Most of it is not sta-
ble,” Myers said. “An NBA
team, any organization can
change overnight, it seems.
Sometimes good luck,
sometimes bad luck — it’s a
fast-moving league.”
This summer will prove
that point.
The Warriors will re-
sign Durant to keep their
core four players to-
gether. But the salary cap-
strapped team will attempt
to revamp its bench with
younger, more dynamic
players.
“You have to stay as
young as you can,” Myers
said.
At the same time, the
rest of the league is going
to be making moves, and
the Warriors — even with
bounds and seven assists
and the big 3-pointer that
sealed the outcome. Mean-
while, Curry shot only 3 of
16 from the field and 1 of 10
from 3-point range.
“K.D.’s been amazing
these last two years, espe-
cially in The Finals, and
so deserving of back-to-
back Finals MVPs,” Curry
told reporters at a news
conference. “I’m going to
be his biggest fan in there
with what he’s able to do.
I think the biggest thing
we appreciate in the locker
room is, again, what every-
body brings to the table and
we kind of unlock the great-
ness out of each other.”
When the Warriors re-
cruited Durant as a free
agent in 2016, their inter-
est mostly stemmed from
wanting to rectify their
blown 3-1 Finals lead to
Cleveland. Adding a super-
star would help that cause.
So when the Warriors’ front
office, coach Steve Kerr,
Curry, Draymond Green,
Klay Thompson, Andre
Iguodala all met with Du-
rant in the Hamptons, Kerr
recalled a specific line of
discussion.
“I don’t remember any-
body asking who is going
to win MVP in The Finals,”
Kerr said. “It was all about,
‘Let’s win championships
together.’ ”
“I think we both play for
the joy and the love of the
game more so than acco-
lades and what people say
about our games,” Durant
said. “I think it’s that some-
thing inside all of us on our
team, that voice that talks
to us and lets us know that
it’s all right. We don’t need
that from other people.”
From the minute Durant
conducted an on-court in-
terview for ABC’s “Good
Morning America” at 12:26
nals — this should have been
their fourth straight champi-
onship — a dynasty that be-
gan in 2015 when they won in
Cleveland. Last season, they
won the championship at Or-
acle Arena.
It was estimated that
the Warriors popped open
more than $400,000 worth
of champagne after Friday’s
win, and Kerr couldn’t guess
how many bottles he opened.
Kerr said he didn’t sleep
on the flight. Nor did he
spend quality time with “The
Larry,” the trophy he has won
eight times, five as a player.
“It was up front with the
players,” Kerr said.
the attempts to become
better this offseason — are
effectively sitting ducks.
They can add role play-
ers and young projects, but
they cannot add a marquee
free agent without mas-
sively disrupting the core
of a team that is still inside
a championship-winning
window.
The Warriors have de-
throned The King — LeB-
ron James — with back-
to-back NBA Finals wins
against overmatched Cava-
liers teams, and those wins
may have tacitly convinced
him to leave Ohio this sum-
mer, when he will be a free
agent.
There’s heavy specula-
tion that he lands in Los
Angeles, likely with the
Lakers, a move that would
single-handedly revive
one of the NBA’s stron-
gest brands and put them
in the NBA championship
conversation.
Even if league officials
were seriously concerned
about the Warriors’ domi-
nance — and there’s no in-
dication they were — the
possibility of a meaning-
ful Warriors-Lakers ri-
valry, the chance those
two teams could meet in
the playoffs, maybe with
a spot in the NBA Finals
at stake, well, who could
complain about that?
(And if James leaves
Cleveland and goes to an
established contender?
Even better.)
At the same time, the
Houston Rockets — whose
iconoclastic general man-
ager Daryl Morey has
openly admitted that he’s
“obsessed” with beating
the Warriors and is con-
fused by any team in the
league who isn’t — pushed
Golden State to seven
games in the Western Con-
ference Finals last month.
a.m. to when he left the
arena at 1:49 a.m., he con-
stantly received validation.
Durant sat down for an in-
terview with NBA TV and
then shook hands with Bar-
kley, Hill and Webber. At
12:33 a.m., Durant walked
from the court toward an
arena hallway with HBO’s
Bill Simmons for another
interview.
Three minutes later, Du-
rant hugged Warriors ma-
jority owner Joe Lacob
and co-owner Peter Gu-
ber before entering a pri-
vate room to pose for pho-
tos. Between snapshots, Du-
rant talked with Warriors
forwards Looney and Jor-
dan Bell. Durant then posed
with his Finals MVP trophy
with Russell. At 12:48 a.m.,
Durant emerged only to go
through the back door of
the press conference room.
Nearly 12 minutes later,
Durant left the interview
room and walked down the
hallway toward another pri-
vate room for an interview
for ESPN’s “SportsCenter”
with Scott Van Pelt. Before
that, Durant revealed he of-
ten had lunch and dinner
with Kerr and Warriors gen-
eral manager Bob Myers to
discuss his role on the team.
“The second year was dif-
ferent. I was trying to figure
out my place and where I
stand. I think I’m still learn-
ing,” Durant said. “They let
me know and give me reas-
surance that I’m a part of
this thing. I should just be
myself. We have to go out
there and not worry about
anything but play ball. That
made my life easier and I
just focus on hooping and be
the best Warrior I can be.”
Before those discussions,
Durant’s business manager
Rich Kleiman said that his
client set out last offsea-
son to further develop his

owner Joe Lacob and his fi-
ancee Nicole Curran again
spent the night with the
NBA’s golden globe, as they
did in 2015 before bringing
it home from Cleveland.
Leading the celebration
Saturday was Nick Young,
the flamboyant guard nick-
named “Swaggy P” who
came off the plane wearing
red shorts and no shirt while
spraying champagne.
“Nick is definitely in
charge of the celebration,”
Kerr said.
Outside the airport gates
was a throng of fans who
chanted “MVP!” as Curry
They’ll be hellbent this
summer on getting over
that hump and are in a
solid position to make that
happen.
The San Antonio Spurs
— viewed as the War-
riors’ top rival in the West-
ern Conference in 2016 —
will likely return their pe-
rennial MVP candidate,
Kawhi Leonard next year.
It’s hard to see the War-
riors beating them in five
easy games in next year’s
playoffs, should they meet.
In the Eastern Confer-
ence, the Boston Celtics
— who gave the Warriors
trouble the regular season
and pushed the Cavs to
seven games in the East-
ern Conference Finals —
will likely get back two
All Stars, Kyrie Irving and
Gordon Hayward, who be-
tween them missed 140
games last season. The up-
start Philadelphia 76ers
have cap space to add a
free agent who can help
their prodigious young tal-
ents make a leap next year.
No matter how you look
at it, the competition is
closing in on the Warriors.
If anyone thought the
Warriors had it too easy
this season (Golden State’s
players, coaches, and exec-
utives would vehemently
disagree), there’s no doubt
2018-19 will prove more
difficult.
Eventually, another
team will finish the job
the Rockets could not last
month — they will knock
off these “unfair” War-
riors. That day is inevita-
ble, even if Myers, War-
riors coach Steve Kerr,
and the Golden State play-
ers are paid handsomely to
avoid such a fate.
And when that day
comes, I doubt anyone will
complain about these War-
riors “ruining the league”.
defense and shot-blocking
while perfecting his effi-
ciency in the post, midrange
and beyond the 3-point arc.
Durant showed improve-
ment from 2016-17 to this
season in scoring aver-
age (25.1 points to 26.4),
3-point shooting (37.5 per-
cent to 41.9), assists (4.8 to
5.4) and blocks (1.6 to 1.8).
After maintaining regular-
season efficiency with and
without Curry in the lineup,
Durant offered high-volume
scoring and low-volume ef-
ficiency against Houston in
the Western Conference fi-
nals.
In Games 1 and 2 against
the Rockets, Durant aver-
aged 37.5 points on 55.1-per-
cent shooting. With Hous-
ton increasingly relying on
a switch-heavy defense, Du-
rant further resorted to iso-
lation plays at the expense of
his own efficiency in Game
4 (9 for 24), Game 5 (8 for
22) and Game 6 (6 for 17).
Since then, Durant played
more efficiently because of
his increased patience. He
also cited his improvement
in rebounding from Hous-
ton (5.7) to Cleveland (10.8)
as well as his defense.
After completing that
journey, Durant reiterated
what he had said about his
comparisons to Cleveland
forward LeBron James af-
ter winning his first NBA ti-
tle and Finals MVP last year.
Durant joined James (2012-
13), Kobe Bryant (2009-10),
Hakeem Olajuwon (1994-
95), Shaquille O’Neal (2000-
02) and Michael Jordan
(1991-93, 1996-98) as the
only players to win consec-
utive Finals MVP awards.
“I knew I was on the same
level. A lot of people didn’t
realize that. But I always
knew,” Durant said. “My
thing last year. I just wanted
to be on the big stage. I

De La Paz, 46, of Oakland,
was there at 11:30 a.m. to
bask in the joy. His wait was
nearly five hours, because the
Warriors didn’t touch down
till 4:20 p.m.
No worries.

Baffert became the sec-
ond trainer to win the Tri-
ple Crown twice. He did so
with American Pharoah
in 2015, ending a 37-year
drought. James “Sunny
Jim” Fitzsimmons guided
Gallant Fox in 1930 and
Omaha in 1935.
“It never gets old,” Baf-
fert said. “American Phar-
oah, he’ll always be my first
love.”
At 52, Smith became the
oldest jockey to win the Tri-
ple Crown.
Justify’s victory gives
racing its second Triple
Crown winner of the de-
cade. The last time there
were two Triple Crown
champions in the same de-
cade was the 1970s, which
produced Secretariat, Seat-
tle Slew and Affirmed.
The powerful colt with
the blaze running the
length of his face showed
no signs that the rigors
of running a compressed
schedule had gotten to him.
On a fast, dry track, Jus-
tify was just as good in his
third race in five weeks at
his third different track.
Sent off as the 4-5 favor-
ite, Justify ran the longest
race of the series in 2:28.18
and paid $3.60, $3.50 and
$2.80.
“This horse ran a tre-
mendous race, he’s so
gifted,” Smith said. “He’s
sent from heaven. I tell you,
it’s just amazing. I can’t de-
scribe the emotions that’s
going through my body
right now.”
Baffert had fretted after
Justify drew the No. 1 post,
a spot he detests for his
horses. But Smith turned it
into an advantage, gunning
Justify to the lead and defy-
wanted to show my talents
and skills on a big stage and
I was able to do that.”
And this year?
“We went physically
through a grind in the first
two rounds and also against
Houston. Now this is a men-
tal series for us. We knew
physically we had a better
team and a better scheme.
But they were more phys-
ical than us,” Durant said
of the Cavaliers. “They had
a matchup problem in LeB-
ron, who is hard to scheme
for. We knew we had to men-
tally be on point to beat this
team. We were all mentally
locked in. That showed the
different facets that we had
with this group. It’s amazing
to be a part of.”
And it is something Du-
rant wants to be a part of
for a while. Kleiman reiter-
ated Durant’s proclamations
throughout the season that
he will re-sign with the War-
riors after he opts out of his
player option to become an
unrestricted free agent on
July 1.
“He wants to be here, of
course,” Kleiman said. “Why
would you not?”
Will Durant sign a one-
year deal as he did last sum-
mer? Or will he seek a lon-
ger deal of two, three or four
years?
“I haven’t thought about
it. That’s not true, that’s a lie.
I’m just not thinking about it
now,” Kleiman said. “Those
things are not thought
about in terms of where he
wants to be. He wants to be
here. Those things are just
thought about on a business
level.”
Last year, Durant will-
ingly took a $10 million pay
cut so the Warriors could
re-sign Iguodala and Shaun
Livingston while also ac-
quiring Nick Young. This

exception ($3.3 million) and
veteran’s minimum deals.
Will Durant be as charita-
ble this summer?
“To some people, I heard
some people say ‘All you’re
doing is saving the owner
money or they can pay and
go over the luxury tax. But
it was as simple as, ‘If this
is what I’m hearing I have to
do in order to get my team-
mates back, I’m going to do
it,’ ” Kleiman said. “It’s a
pretty open-and-shut thing.
It all comes back. What’s fair
will work itself out. He knew
he wanted everyone back.
Look at what the pay off is.
The money he paid back is
well worth it.”
It has become worth it for
Durant, in numerous ways.
He has enjoyed Golden
State’s team-oriented cul-
ture. He has been expand-
ing his philanthropic proj-
ects in Washington, D.C.,
(refurbished courts, schol-
arships) and the Bay Area
(scholarships). He has ex-
panded his business empire
with tech investments and
developing future shows for
Apple and Fox. And he just
won another NBA title and
a Finals MVP.
But as he held the Finals
MVP trophy firmly, a joyful
Durant explained how that
award symbolized some-
thing that does not involve
selfish motives.
“Individual accolades are
incredible. But I just love to
battle with this team,” he
said. “I play a team sport,
man. So if I couldn’t battle
with these dudes every sin-
gle day, I wouldn’t be able
to do anything individu-
ally. I just tried to be the
best teammate I can be and
support the team as best as
I can. If this is what comes
out of it, I appreciate it.”

Giants strand 11 runners in loss to Nationals

By Kerry Crowley
Bay Area News Group
WASHINGTON, D.C. >> The Gi-
ants began their 10-game
road trip Friday with an
impressive display of persis-
tence, routinely fending off
Nationals rallies and fight-
ing to add on to the early
advantage they staked out
against Stephen Strasburg.
On day two of their
three-city venture around
the country, the Nation-
als flipped the script, steal-
ing lines from a scene the
Giants authored Friday to
down San Francisco 7-5.
“We had some guys out
there, we just needed an-
other hit,” manager Bruce
Bochy said. “We were miss-
ing that to finish a come-
back.”
After climbing above
.500 for the first time since
May 15 on Friday, the Gi-
ants fell back to 32-32 as
the Nationals’ bullpen
pitched its way out of trou-
ble in the fourth, seventh
and eighth innings.
For the second straight
day, the Giants’ offense re-
corded a double-digit hit
total, but they left 10 run-
ners on base Saturday in-
cluding two in the seventh
and two more in the eighth.
THE SCORE
NATIONALS 7, GIANTS 5
Up Next: Giants at Washington
When: Sunday, 1:05 p.m.
TV/Radio: NBS/680 AM
“We did what you’re hop-
ing to do and that’s create
some pretty good chances
to win the game,” Bochy
said. “We had some good
hitters up there, we just
couldn’t quite get that last
hit.”
Rookie starter Dereck
Rodríguez was respon-
sible for allowing five of
the Nationals’ seven runs,
but a late insurance run
tacked on against reliever
Cory Gearrin played a piv-
otal role in helping Wash-
ington secure a win.
Rodríguez made his ma-
jor league debut on May
29 in Denver after right-
hander Jeff Samardzija was
forced to exit his start fol-
lowing the first inning with
shoulder tightness. The
right-hander allowed four
doubles, but impressed Bo-
chy with his poise and com-
mand and received the call
to replace Samardzija in
the rotation after the No.
3 starter was placed on the
10-day disabled list.
In his first career start,
ALEX BRANDON — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Giants starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez follows through
on his pitch during the third inning against the Nationals at
Nationals Park on Saturday in Washington.
Rodríguez turned in a dom-
inant effort, surrendering
just a single run to Phila-
delphia over six innings of
work. With his first major
league win in the books, Ro-
dríguez arrived in Wash-
ington, D.C. eager to pitch
in front of his Hall of Fame
father, Ivan “Pudge” Rodrí-
guez, for the first time since
his call-up.
But from the outset of
Saturday’s start, the rookie
dealt with command issues
as he struggled to locate
his fastball against Nation-
als hitters.
“I felt the same, I just
didn’t really have my best
stuff,” Rodríguez said.
“I couldn’t really locate
pitches. I had a couple op-
portunities to put some
guys away and it was too
good of a pitch and they got
ahold of it.”
While the Nationals only
plated one run run during
a rough first inning for Ro-
dríguez, Washington ex-
ploded with a four-run sec-
ond inning as Trea Turner
and Matt Adams delivered
RBI hits.
Adams’ two-out, two-
run double over the head
of right fielder Andrew Mc-
Cutchen broke open the
game as the Nationals took
a 5-0 lead and forced Bochy
to lift Rodríguez in favor of
reliever Ty Blach.
“There was a lot of
pitches I wanted back to-
day, to be honest with you,”
Rodríguez said. “There was
a couple of times I had guys
0-2 and then 2-2, 3-2 so I
just threw too many pitches
and wasn’t throwing a lot of
strikes.”
A day after the Giants
raced out to an early 5-0
advantage before a Nation-
als rally forced Bochy to
pull Suárez, San Francisco
battled against Washing-
ton left-hander Gio Gon-
zalez and ushered him out
of the game in the top of
the fourth.
The Nationals began
the weekend with three
potential National League
All-Star starting pitchers
slated to face the Giants,
but after Strasburg was re-
moved after the second in-
ning with a shoulder injury
on Friday, Gonzalez lasted
3 1/3 frames on Saturday.
The early exits offered
the Giants opportunities
to stress the Nationals
bullpen ahead of Cy Young
front-runner Max Scherz-
er’s Sunday start, but San
Francisco failed to take ad-
vantage of the chance Sat-
urday.
Catcher Nick Hund-
ley tagged Gonzalez for a
three-run homer into the
visiting bullpen in the top
of the third to cut Washing-
ton’s lead to 5-3, but Evan
Longoria left two runners
on in the top of the fourth
with a strikeout after Mc-
Cutchen cut the deficit to
one with a sacrifice fly.
Hundley’s seventh home
run was the ninth three-
run blast hit by the Giants
this season, a year after
San Francisco hit seven all
season.
“What a nice game he
had to get us back in the
ballgame,” Bochy said.
“Four RBIs. He had a nice
game.”
HERNÁNDEZ TAKES A HIT
>> Center fielder Gorkys
Hernández collapsed to
the ground after taking a
pitch off the ribs during
an eighth inning bunt at-
tempt. Hernández stayed
in the game, but Bochy said
his availability for Sunday’s
contest is uncertain.
Hernández said he was

MLB ROUNDUP MLB

Lester, Cubs 1-hit Pirates A’s bats fall silent

for 11th win in 13 games
The Associated Press
CHICAGO >> Jon Lester com-
bined with two relievers on
a one-hitter, and the Cubs
took advantage of a first-in-
ning slip by center fielder
Starling Marte in a 2-0 vic-
tory Saturday over the Pitts-
burgh Pirates, Chicago’s
11th win in 13 games.
Lester (7-2) allowed a
two-out triple in the third
to Austin Meadows, then
retired Starling Marte on
a groundout. Lester struck
out five and walked two in
seven innings, improving to
5-1 in his past six starts.
Justin Wilson and Steve
Cishek each pitched a per-
fect inning. Cishek got his
second save as the Cubs re-
mained a half-game behind
NL Central-leading Mil-
waukee.
Nick Kingham (2-3) al-
lowed both runs and four
hits in 6 1/3 innings. Pitts-
burgh lost for the sixth time
in seven games and is 5-16
following a 26-17 start, los-
ing seven straight series.
YANKEES 4, METS 3 >> Aaron
Judge hit a tiebreaking
drive in the eighth inning
and the Yankees won a
game of home run derby,
beating the Mets for their
sixth straight victory in the
Subway Series.
GOLF ROUNDUP
Putnam, Johnson turn St. Jude Classic into 2-man race
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, TENN. >> Andrew
Putnam will be playing in
the last group on Sunday for
the first time looking for his
first PGA Tour victory.
His playing partner will
be Dustin Johnson, who’s
already won once this year
and needs his 18th career
victory to reclaim his spot
as the world’s top-ranked
golfer .
No pressure at all.
“It’s going to feel a little
different than the typical
Sunday round of golf, but
I’m excited for it,” Putnam
said. “I’ve earned my way
here and I feel like it’s going
to be a fun day. See what hap-
pens.”
Putnam matched the
best round of his short PGA
Tour career Saturday with a
6-under 64 and tied John-
son atop the leaderboard at
the St. Jude Classic. Johnson
had a 65 to match Putnam
at 15-under 195 and said he’s
in great position going into
Sunday.
A two-time winner on the
Web.com Tour, Putnam bird-
ied No. 18 to tie up Johnson
once again after a bogey-free
round and consecutive 64s.
Putnam, who joined the tour
in 2015, has had only one bo-
gey through 54 holes here.

Cubs relief pitcher Steve Cishek reacts after getting
the final out against the Pirates in the ninth inning of
Saturday’s game in Chicago. The Cubs won 2-0.
BREWERS 12, PHILLIES 3 >>Ji-
Man Choi hit a go-ahead,
pinch-hit grand slam in
the sixth inning, and Jesus
Aguilar and Jonathan Vil-
lar also went deep in Mil-
waukee’s victory over Phil-
adelphia.
CARDINALS 6, REDS 4 >>
Yadier Molina doubled with
the bases loaded, and Mi-
chael Wacha pitched two-
run ball into the sixth in-
ning, leading St. Louis to its
13th straight win over Cin-
cinnati.
RED SOX 4, WHITE SOX 2 >> J.D.
“I’m happy with every-
thing I’ve been doing,” said
Putnam, 29, from Washing-
ton.
Stewart Cink, who had
a hole-in-one on No. 8,
matched his low round of
the year with a 64 to get to
10 under.
Ricky Werenski got to 10
under but bogeyed No. 18 to
finish with a 68. He was tied
with Bryan Wesley (69) at 9
under. Brandt Snedeker (70)
was at 7 under.
Johnson and Putnam, a
29-year-old from Washing-
ton with a pair of Top 10s
this year on tour, quickly
turned the third round at
TPC Southwind into a two-
man race.
Playing in the final group,
Johnson opened with a birdie
after hitting his approach to
6 feet on No. 1. Putnam, a
group ahead, birdied three of
his first four holes and took
the lead to himself briefly at
12 under by rolling in from 31
feet for birdie on No. 5.
A tee shot way left on the
par-5 No. 3 cost Johnson
a penalty and a drop mak-
ing par the best he could do.
