Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has urged his team to secure the league title and Scottish Cup triumph before goalkeeper Joe Hart retires at the end of the season. Hart, a 37-year-old former England international, has announced his retirement, with just six games remaining of his professional career.
The Colorado Rockies have started the season with a dismal 5-18 record, marking the first time since the 1931 Cincinnati Reds that a team has trailed in their first 23 games of the regular season. Despite a 7-4 victory over the Padres, the Rockies’ struggles continue, as six of their players have been striking out more than average this season. Second baseman Brendan Rodgers, who hit a grand slam in the victory, has been a bright spot, but his .197 batting average is still far below expectations. If Rodgers and the rest of the Rockies cannot improve their performance, the team faces the prospect of a historically bad season.
Brendan Rodgers hit a grand slam in the fourth inning to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 7-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night in Denver. The Rockies snapped a six-game losing streak to San Diego and improved to 4-7 at home.
Brendan Rodgers’ fifth-inning grand slam propelled the Colorado Rockies to a 7-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Rodgers’ blast, his first career grand slam, broke the team’s six-game home run drought. Ryan Feltner started for the Rockies, allowing four runs on 10 hits in four innings. The bullpen, led by Jalen Beeks’ three scoreless innings, held the Padres scoreless for the final five innings. Nolan Jones also contributed with an RBI single, breaking his 0-for-26 slump.
