NATIONAL SPORTS

Devin Booker scored 25 points and the Phoenix Suns escaped with an 84-80 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Suns took a decisive 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. They can finish off the Clippers and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1993 with a victory Monday night in Phoenix.


Cody Bellinger homered with two outs in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2. It was their first walk-off victory of the season. Bellinger came on as a late defensive substitution and crushed a four hundred and 22-foot homer to center field.


Nathan Eovaldi pitched into the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox held off the New York Yankees 4-2. The Red Sox improved to 5 and 0 this season against their longtime rivals. Boston will now look to post its second sweep of the Yankees this year in Sunday’s series finale.


Abu Danladi scored in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to lift Nashville S-C to a 1-1 draw with C-F Montreal. Danladi headed home Jack Maher’s short cross from close range to help Nashville earn its fifth come-from-behind result of the season. Aljaz Struna scored in the 63rd minute for Montreal.


The Seattle Sounders extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches with a 2-2 draw versus the Whitecaps. Vancouver took a 2-1 lead, scoring twice in six minutes early in the second half before Jimmy Medranda netted his first goal in three years. The Sounders moved within a game of the M-L-S record for the longest season-opening unbeaten streak.


Chicharito Hernandez scored two goals and the L-A Galaxy beat the San Jose Earthquakes 3-1. Hernandez opened the scoring in the 11th minute and gave the Galaxy a 2-0 lead in the 50th minute. He has now scored an M-L-S leading 10 goals.
