CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber’s broken right arm isn’t all that’s hurting him.

Less than one week after absorbing the impact of a 102 mph line drive during a start in Miami, Cleveland’s two-time AL Cy Young Award winner said Tuesday he still is coming to grips with his injury.

“You want to be out there with the team,” Kluber said, speaking for the first time since getting hit. “You want to be contributing. When it’s your day to pitch, you want to be able to take the ball every fifth day.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a slow-to-evolve, tradition-laden sport, the Kentucky Derby might have set the standard for race officiating with the disqualification of first-place finisher Maximum Security.

The pressure was tremendous on the stewards at Churchill Downs to apply the same rules in the sport’s showcase event that they would any other day of the week. Horses get their number taken down all the time in lesser races for various infractions.
