SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota salvaged a 4-4 draw for Liverpool at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday as the Merseyside club’s season ended in wild circumstances. Jurgen Klopp’s team had blown a two-goal lead at St Mary’s before coming back from 4-2 down to scramble a point. Gakpo and Jota both struck in the space of a minute of each other to ensure a disappointing campaign for Liverpool at least did not end in defeat. Klopp’s side has endured a troubled season that has seen it miss out on qualification for the Champions League for the first time since 2016. But there have been clear signs of improvement in recent weeks, with Liverpool heading into Sunday’s match on the back of a 10-game unbeaten streak. The visitors were 2-0 up after goals from Jota in the 10th minute and Roberto Firmino in the 14th. James Ward-Prowse — who was potentially making his final Southampton appearance — halved the deficit in the 19...Rosenqvist leads at halfway point of Indianapolis 500; Palou crashes on pit road

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Felix Rosenqvist of Arrow McLaren Racing was the leader at the halfway point of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and Katherine Legge, the only woman in the field, was first driver eliminated from “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”Race favorite Alex Palou started from the pole and led 36 of the first 100 laps. The Spaniard easily had one of the best cars in the race, but he was crashed into by Rinus VeeKay when the cars were trying to exit pit road.Palou’s Chip Ganassi Racing team had to run to push his car back to the stall and he needed a new front wing. Palou dropped to 26th at the halfway point and VeeKay received a penalty for avoidable contact.The crash on Lap 95 occurred during full-field pit stops under the first caution, caused three laps earlier by rookie Sting Ray Robb, who had a rough month at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He crashed along with his Dale Coyne Racing teammate on the opening lap of the road course race at Indy and then struggled to e...NBA Finals berth at stake as Heat, Celtics prepare for Game 7

LONDON (AP) — Premier League champion Manchester City lost its final game of the campaign as Ethan Pinnock’s late goal earned Brentford a 1-0 win and a home-and-away double over Pep Guardiola’s team on Sunday.The center back celebrated signing a new four-year contract earlier in the day by scoring an 85th-minute winner.With the title sewn up last weekend, Guardiola rested some of his big hitters ahead of next weekend’s FA Cup final. The Champions League final is seven days later for City.With Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish missing completely and Erling Haaland left on the bench, it was a scratch City side and those established stars who did play, like Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, had little impact.Brentford still had something to play for, by contrast, as the team was in with a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa Conference League before wins for Tottenham and Aston Villa ultimately wrecked those hopes.The home players applauded the champions onto the field, but ...Leeds relegated from Premier League as Kane leads Tottenham’s 4-1 rout

LEEDS, England (AP) — Leeds’ three-season stay in the Premier League is over after a 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham confirmed the team’s relegation on Sunday.Harry Kane and Pedro Porro scored early in each half to put Spurs 2-0 ahead and, although Jack Harrison reduced the deficit, Kane struck a game-clinching second in what could be his last game for the London club.Tottenham substitute Lucas Moura sliced through a porous defense in stoppage time to complete the misery for Leeds, which ultimately would have gone down even with a win at Elland Road.Leeds went into the final day needing not only victory but for relegation rivals Everton and Leicester to drop points. Since they both won, Leeds’ 21st league defeat of the season was immaterial and home fans vented their frustration and anger after the final whistle sounded.Tottenham finished in eighth place and missed out on qualification for European competition next season.Leeds has not kept a clean sheet since February and ...Twins’ Baldelli will soon be managing twins at home, too; wife expecting in September

Orioles left-hander John Means was going through his typical routine to pitch ahead of an extended spring training game, slamming a medicine ball against a wall to activate his upper body.But on the final throw, Means “just kind of wanted to go a little hard,” he said Sunday morning in the Orioles’ Camden Yards clubhouse, only to feel a tug in his upper back. Having experienced shoulder issues in the past and working to address them throughout his recovery from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, Means said his initial thought was, “Are you kidding me?” The injury — a strain of the teres major muscle in the shoulder blade area — proved to be unrelated to his previous ailments, but it will keep Means, the organization’s top starting pitcher for much of its rebuild, from returning from his elbow surgery in July as hoped.Asked whether August is now the target, Means said, “Something like that,” saying he “absolutely...Tracing Memorial Day’s history and tradition
