Texas feels good after win, but 'still sitting here at 2-4'
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — If the Texas Longhorns are still giddy after their big win over Oklahoma that many called a program changer, junior defensive tackle Paul Boyette is happy to spoil the fun. "We played our butts off against Oklahoma," Boyette said Monday. "But we're still sitting here at 2-4." Boyette delivered a stark reminder that probably needs repeating to the young team that pulled off a shocking upset after getting blown out by TCU just a week earlier.

Blue Jays' big bats silenced in 5-0 ALCS loss to Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Toronto's Troy Tulowitzki noticed something different about Royals starter Edinson Volquez when he dug in for his first at-bat of the American League Championship Series. Something you could only tell by standing in the batter's box — or holding a radar gun. "I think his velocity was a little higher than it normally is," Tulowitzki said after an 0-for-4 night in a 5-0 Game 1 loss Friday night. "He was hitting his spots. He did a good job."

Superstitions hard to shed for Cubs faithful
Billy Siegel doesn't want to hear any talk about a billy goat curse or a Steve Bartman hex afflicting his beloved Chicago Cubs. He dismisses as rubbish any suggestion that a little black cat had anything to do with the team's heartbreaking collapse down the stretch in 1969, too.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Houston coach Tom Herman could not have asked for a better start to his tenure with the No. 24 Cougars. Still, he's hardly inclined to bask in the praise he's getting for a 5-0 start that has lifted Houston into the Top 25 this week for the first time since 2011.

Dodgers look to Zack Greinke to extend playoff run
LOS ANGELES (AP) — One ace helped the Los Angeles Dodgers stave off elimination against the New York Mets. Now their other one gets a chance to extend the playoffs in a winner-take-all Game 5.

DeGrom, the Game 1 winner over Kershaw, will pitch on full rest, just like Game 2 winner Greinke.

Correa error costly, Astros fall to KC 9-6, ALDS tied at 2
HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa did so many things right for the Houston Astros on Monday. It was the rookie shortstop's one mistake, however, that will be the lasting memory of Houston's 9-6 loss to Kansas City on Monday, sending their AL Division Series to a deciding Game 5. Correa couldn't handle a deflected grounder that might have been a double-play ball, helping the Royals rally for five runs in the eighth inning.
