Logan Stankoven scored twice, Jackson Blake had a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes blanked the visiting Philadelphia Flyers 3-0. Frederik Andersen made 19 saves to net the shutout, while Mike Reilly added two assists as the Canes grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second-round series. Game 2 is Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Kazuma Okamoto hit his third home run in two days, Brandon Valenzuela homered in an eight-run eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 11-4. The Blue Jays scored a season high in runs while winning for the sixth time in eight games, but saw George Springer leave with an injury after being hit by a pitch on the left foot in the third inning. Manager John Schneider said X-rays showed no new fracture.
Joel Embiid and the visiting Philadelphia 76ers advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, beating the Jayson Tatum-less Boston Celtics 109-100 to complete the N-B-A’s 14th comeback from a 3-1 series deficit. Embiid finished with 34 points and 12 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey added 30 points and 11 rebounds. Philadelphia will visit the third-seeded New York Knicks on Monday in Game 1 of the second round.
Golden Tempo won the Kentucky Derby at odds of 23 to 1 to make Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train the winner of the opening leg of the Triple Crown. DeVaux is just the second female trainer to win any Triple Crown race after Jena Antonucci won with Arcangelo in the 2023 Belmont Stakes. Jockey Jose Ortiz won the Derby for the first time in his 11th try.
