Mandatory Credit: Ben Queen-Imagn Images Garrett Greene threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Gallagher III with 26 seconds left as West Virginia rallied for a 32-28 victory over Kansas in the Big 12 opener for both teams on Saturday afternoon at Morgantown, W. Va.
The Mountaineers overcame a late 11-point deficit behind two scoring passes from Greene. The first was an 8-yard scoring pass to Kole Taylor with 3:27 left and was followed by a trick play two-point conversion throw from Traylon Ray to Taylor as West Virginia moved within 28-25.

Jahiem White rushed for a touchdown and Hudson Clement had seven receptions for 150 yards for the Mountaineers.
Kansas star Devin Neal rushed for 110 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries while recording his fourth straight 100-yard outing this season. It also is the 16th of his career, leaving him one behind the school mark held by Tony Sands (1988-91).
Jalon Daniels completed 15 of 25 passes for 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Jayhawks (1-3, 0-1), who also blew a fourth-quarter lead in last week’s loss to UNLV.
Luke Grimm caught a touchdown pass and scored on a reverse for Kansas. Daniel Hishaw Jr. added a rushing score.
After the Mountaineers’ go-ahead score, Kansas reached the West Virginia 39-yard line before Tyrin Bradley’s strip sack of Daniels. Bradley recovered the ball for the Mountaineers with eight seconds left to seal it.
The game was temporarily halted by a lightning-related weather delay that lasted just shy of two hours. Kansas led 21-17 when it was stopped with 10:43 remaining.
Just over five minutes after the resumption of play, Grimm took a reverse and cruised for a 32-yard scoring run to give Kansas an 11-point advantage.
Kansas scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 21-17 lead.
Daniels tossed a 7-yard scoring pass to Grimm to knot the score at 14 with 9:08 left.
Michael Hayes kicked a 40-yard field goal to put the Mountaineers back on top with 7:03 remaining. The Jayhawks responded with Hishaw’s 11-yard scoring run with 4:30 left in the period.

Mandatory Credit: Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images The Houston Astros placed outfielder Joey Loperfido on the injured list with a right quad strain on Sunday and recalled right-hander Jayden Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Murray, 29, had one appearance earlier this season and has a 2.63 ERA in 10 games over the past two seasons for the Astros. His addition increases Houston’s staff to 13 pitchers.
Also on Sunday, the Astros traded minor league right-hander Wilmy Sanchez to the New York Yankees for infielder Braden Shewmake, a former first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Braves in 2019.
In 31 major league games for the Braves and Chicago White Sox, Shewmake, 28, is batting .118 with a home run and four RBIs.

Apr 10, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Bryson DeChambeau reacts after his ball rolled down the slope on the 18th green during the second round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Grace Smith-Imagn Images Bryson DeChambeau cited a wrist injury on Sunday for the reason he withdrew prior to the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City on Sunday in Naucalpan, Mexico.
“I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during (Saturday’s round) and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury,” DeChambeau wrote on X. “Not how I wanted this week to go, but wishing the Crushers a strong finish. I’m going to take a few days to get evaluated and hope to be ready for LIV Golf Virginia.”
DeChambeau entered the final round at 2-over-par 215 at Club De Golf Chapultepec, 16 strokes behind leader Jon Rahm of Spain. DeChambeau hasn’t been too shy about complaining about the course conditions of the event, doing so on Friday for the second straight year.

ATP roundup: Ben Shelton shows love of clay, wins BMW title
Ben Shelton connects with the ball during his second-round match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Friday, March 6, 2026. Ben Shelton rolled to his second title of the year, winning the BMW Open with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Italy’s Flavio Cobolli at Munich, Germany.
Shelton won 85% of his first-serve points on the clay surface and saved all six break points he faced to win his fifth career title and first since Dallas earlier this year. Shelton showed his form early when he broke Cobolli’s serve twice in the first three games of the match.
With the second set tied 5-5, Shelton broke Cobolli again and won on serve on his first match point. Shelton became the first American man since 2009 to win three ATP 500 titles.
“I have big ambitions for the clay courts,” Shelton said in his post-match interview. “It is a surface I want to get better on each year. It is slowly becoming one of my favorite surfaces to play on.”
Barcelona Open
Arthur Fils of France held off a late charge from Russia’s Andrey Rublev to record a 6-2, 7-6 (2) victory in the final of the tournament.
Fils won his first title since returning in February after missing eight months because of a back injury.
Fils was well on his way to victory after cruising in the first set and leading 5-2 in the second before Rublev dug in his heels. Rublev broke Fils’ serve to pull within 5-4 in the second set, then staved off one match point to make it 5-5.
Rublev broke serve again to lead 6-5 in the second set before Fils finally regained control and finished off the match in a tiebreak.
“The end of the second set was just about the mental (pressure),” Fils said. “The whole match was a bit tough because I was a bit tight. I played well for a set and a half, but when I had to close, I started to think a little. But I’m very happy with the way I played the tiebreak.”
