Hudson Potts hit a grand slam in the top of the ninth inning as the Portland Sea Dogs scored seven times to beat the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 9-5 and snap a three-game losing streak in Binghamton, New York.

Binghamton scored four times in the bottom of the eighth to take a 5-2 lead before Portland rallied. Grant Williams started the outburst for Portland with an RBI single. Devlin Granberg followed with a two-run double to tie the game at 5-5. Tyreque Reed was then hit by a pitch to load the bases and Potts followed with a grand slam.

Portland took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Reed. Binghamton answered with a solo home run by Edgardo Fermin in the third, but Portland took the lead back on an RBI double by Jeisson Rosario. In the eighth for Binghamton, Nick Meyer hit an RBI single on a bunt, Quinn Brodey drove in a run with a ground out and Matt Winaker hit a two-run double.

BASKETBALL

NBA:  The Milwaukee Bucks acquired guard Grayson Allen from the Memphis Grizzlies for guard Sam Merrill and two future second-round picks.

Allen, 25, averaged 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 25.2 minutes for the Grizzlies this past season. He played 50 games and made 38 starts.

His 2020-21 season included a 26-point performance in a 128-115 victory over the Bucks.

Allen has shot 42.3% overall and 38.1% from 3-point range during his three-year career. Utah drafted him 21st overall out of Duke in 2018.

Merrill, 24, played 30 games and averaged 3 points, 1 rebound and 7.8 minutes as a rookie with the Bucks this past season. He shot 44.7% from 3-point range. He played collegiately at Utah State and was the Mountain West player of the year in 2019.

• The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to terms with free agent small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. on a two-year, $26 million contract, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

The deal had been contingent upon the Hornets’ trade with New Orleans involving Devonte Graham going through. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal had not been finalized.

HORSE RACING

RECORD: Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen broke the North American record for victories by a trainer when Stellar Tap won the fifth race on Whitney Day at Saratoga Race Course.

Asmussen has 9,446 victories to break the mark of set by the late Dale Baird during his 46-year career that ended when he was killed in a car crash in 2007 at age 72.

HAMBLETONIAN: Captain Corey took the lead early, held off one challenge and then drew off in the stretch to give trainer-driver Ake Svanstedt his second win in the $1 million Hambletonian at the Meadowlands.

Svanstedt didn’t need any help from the judges this time. He was awarded trotting’s most prestigious race in 2017 when What The Hill, who was first across the finish line, was disqualified for interfering with another 3-year-old. That promoted Svanstedt’s Perfect Spirit from second to first.

AUTO RACING

XFINITY: Ty Gibbs passed road race ace AJ Allmendinger after a restart with four laps to go and won at Watkins Glen International.

It was the third win in 10 Xfinity races this season for the 18-year-old grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs. Points leader Austin Cindric was third, Pole-sitter Justin Allgaier fourth, and Harrison Burton fifth.

Gibbs is a part-time rookie driver in the series this season, concentrating on the ARCA Series. It’s just a matter of time before he makes a big jump.

TRUCKS: Pole-sitter Austin Hill won the NASCAR Truck Series race at Watkins Glen International, taking the victory when lightning struck nearby and rain halted the race with 11 laps to go.

Hill held off John Hunter Nemechek on a restart with 15 laps left as thunderstorms neared, with Sheldon Creed, Todd Gilliland and Parker Kligerman in close pursuit. The race was red-flagged because of a lightning strike and with an Xfinity Series race on deck.

INDYCAR: Colton Herta stamped himself as the driver to beat in the inaugural IndyCar Music City Grand Prix in Nashville, Tennessee, winning the pole after he was fastest in both practice sessions.

The 21-year-old Herta was more than a half-second faster than six-time series champion Scott Dixon in second. The Andretti Autosport driver won his sixth career pole.

TENNIS

ATP TOUR: Fifth-seeded Jannik Sinner reached his fourth final and stopped the run of 20-year-old Californian Jenson Brooksby by beating him 7-6 (2), 6-1 in the Citi Open at the hard-court tuneup for the U.S. Open.

Sinner was the only seeded player to reach the semifinals in Washington. The last teen to win the event was Juan Martin del Potro in 2008, a year before he won his only Grand Slam title in New York.

On Sunday, Sinner will face 2015 champion Kei Nishikori or Mackie McDonald. Nishikori, who owns 12 titles and was the runner-up at the 2014 U.S. Open, last reached an ATP final in 2019; McDonald never has been that far at a tour-level event.

SOCCER

PREMIER LEAGUE: Kelechi Iheanacho’s late penalty gave Leicester a 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield, stealing the spotlight from Jack Grealish.

Iheanacho’s left-footed rocket from the spot beat goalkeeper Zack Steffen in the 88th minute in the English season-opener, and Leicester celebrated once again at Wembley Stadium, where they won the FA Cup final in May.

Grealish made his debut for City just two days after the Premier League champion broke the British transfer fee record by paying 100 million pounds ($139 million) to sign him from Aston Villa.

• Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi are in negotiations on a contract after financially troubled Barcelona was unable to keep the superstar, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.

Messi’s legal team is in Paris and negotiations have seen an annual net salary of around 25 million euros ($29.5 million) discussed which would be lower than his Barcelona pay, the person said on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing talks.

GOLF

WORLD GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP: Bryson DeChambeau let his clubs do most of the talking at TPC Southwind.

DeChambeau shot a 7-under 63 to pull within two strokes of leader Harris English in the FedEx St. Jude Invitational, then declined to comment to most of the media following the round.

DeChambeau was apparently upset with several stories written about his refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine after he missed the Tokyo Olympics last week because of a positive test. He did agree to interviews with rights-holders CBS Sports and SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio.

English has led after each of the first three rounds in the World Golf Championships event, opening with a 62 and shooting two 65s to get to 18-under 192. He’s in position for the fifth PGA Tour victory and third of the season.

Cameron Smith had a 65 to join DeChambeau at 16 under.

Abraham Ancer (67) was 14 under. Scottie Scheffler (67) and Ian Poulter (67) were 13 under.

PGA TOUR: Adam Schenk birdied the par-4 18th in smoky conditions from wildfires for an 11-point round and four-point lead in the Barracuda Championship in Truckee, California, the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system.

Players receive eight points for an albatross, five for eagle, two for birdie and zero for par. A point is subtracted for a bogey, and three points are taken away for a double bogey or worse.

Schenk, the 29-year-old former Purdue player seeking his first PGA Tour title, had seven birdies and a bogey in the third round to reach 38 points on Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Grant Forrest produced a brilliant 10-under-par 62 to take a share of the third-round lead with fellow Scot Calum Hill at the Hero Open in St. Andrews, Scotland.

There has not been a home winner in Scotland on the European Tour since Paul Lawrie won the 2012 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, but Forrest and Hill have improved the prospects after climbing to 18 under at Fairmont St Andrews.
