TORONTO — Alejandro Kirk homered twice and the Toronto Blue Jays trounced the New York Yankees 10-1 Saturday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had three hits, including a homer, and added a sacrifice fly, while Nathan Lukes had three RBIs to help the Blue Jays to their first postseason win since 2016. Aaron Judge had two hits for the Yankees but struck out with the bases loaded in the sixth. "The Judge at-bat was huge, to get that out," Toronto manager John Schneider said. Guerrero hit his first career postseason home run with two out in the first against Luis Gil (0-1), a shot to left on a 2-1 changeup. In the second, Guerrero was a factor defensively. He snared Ryan McMahon's broken-bat line drive and stepped on first for an inning-ending double play. Kirk led off the home second with his first career postseason homer when he cranked a first-pitch fastball to left. "They were hunting top of the zone a little bit," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "I thought they put a lot of good swings on him. "We can live with the two solo home runs and thought we could piece it together." Tim Hill replaced Gil after Guerrero's two-out single in the third and allowed Addison Barger's infield hit before ending the inning. Gil allowed two runs, four hits with no walks and two strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Lukes made a diving catch before skidding across the right-field line to rob Jazz Chisholm Jr. of a hit in the fifth. The Yankees loaded the bases with none out in the sixth on Anthony Volpe's double high off the left-field wall, Austin Wells's single and Trent Grisham's walk. Judge struck out before Cody Bellinger's walk plated a run. Louis Varland replaced Kevin Gausman (1-0) with two out and struck out Giancarlo Stanton. "I would take Louis Varland against anybody right now," Gausman said. "He has taken his game to another level. That was one of the greatest trades we've ever made." Gausman allowed one run, four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Seranthony Dominguez replaced Varland in the seventh after McMahon's one-out single. Luke Weaver walked Daulton Varsho to lead off Toronto's seventh. Anthony Santander and Gimenez singled to score a run. Fernando Cruz replaced Weaver. Pinch runner Myles Straw was forced at third on Ernie Clement's bunt and George Springer walked to load the bases. Lukes lined a two-run double to right and Guerrero hit a sacrifice fly to center for a 6-1 lead. Brendon Little pitched around Judge's double in the eighth. Kirk led off the home eighth with a homer against Paul Blackburn. Gimenez added an RBI double, Clement had a sacrifice fly and Lukes contributed an RBI single. –Larry Millson, Field Level Media

Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz have been disqualified from Singapore Grand Prix qualifying due to technical breaches. The Williams duo placed 12th and 13th, respectively, on Saturday night at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. However, FIA F1 technical delegate Jo Bauer found that "both cars exceeded the maximum limit of 85mm on both sides of the rear wing outer area." F1 stewards noted that the Williams drivers said they conducted their own measurement prior to qualifying that showed their cars were in compliance, but they admitted that the subsequent measurement revealed an illegal gap. "This is bitterly disappointing for the team, and we are urgently investigating how this happened," Williams team principal James Vowles said in a statement. "At no point were we seeking a performance advantage, and the rear wings had passed our own checks earlier in the day, but there is only one measurement that matters, and we fully accept the FIA ruling. "We have a car capable of scoring points here this weekend and will do everything we can to fight from the back of the grid tomorrow and will immediately review our processes to make sure this doesn't happen again." This is the second qualifying disqualification in as many rounds after Esteban Ocon's rear wing failed post-session checks at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Sainz is coming off a third-place finish in Azerbaijan, while Albon ended up in 13th. The team accumulated 15 total points in the GP. Williams ranks fifth in the team standings with 101 points, 29 up on the Racing Bulls. –Field Level Media

After surrendering a touchdown on the game's opening possession, Northwestern reeled off 42 consecutive points to produce a 42-7 nonconference victory over Louisiana-Monroe Saturday afternoon in Evanston, Ill. Preston Stone hit 20 of 31 passes for 262 yards and three touchdowns while Caleb Komolafe rushed for two scores as the Wildcats (3-2) strung together back-to-back wins for the first time since the end of the 2023 season. Aidan Armenta completed 10 of 19 passes and a score while Braylon McReynolds posted 49 rushing yards for the Warhawks (3-2), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Armenta opened the game by leading the Warhawks on a seven-play, 75-yard drive capped by his 34-yard strike to Nic Trujillo for a 7-0 lead at the 10:47 mark. The Wildcats responded immediately with a 61-yard march that ended with Komolafe going over the right side for a 3-yard score and a 7-7 tie. Louisiana-Monroe zipped to Northwestern's 20 on its next drive, but then went backward and Luke Stagg's 45-yard field-goal attempt was no good. On Northwestern's next possession, Stone threaded together two straight big plays to reach the end zone. He scrambled for 30 yards, then hit Hayden Eligon II for a 37-yard score. Lawson Albright's 2-point conversion gave the Wildcats a 15-7 lead at 13:57 of the second quarter. Jack Olsen added a 34-yard field goal to push Northwestern's lead to 18-7 at halftime. Komolafe opened the second half by bursting down the left sideline for a 39-yard score as the Wildcats rang up 21 points in the third quarter to put the game away. Stone hooked up with Griffin Wilde for a short pass that turned into a 49-yard touchdown, then Stone's 6-yard touchdown flip to Drew Wagner on fourth down pushed the margin to 39-7 with 16 seconds left in the third. Northwestern finished with 515 total yards as Eligon caught three passes for 80 yards, Wilde snagged all four of his receptions in the second half for 64 yards and Wagner made six catches for 63 yards. The Wildcats' defense produced three sacks and seven tackles for loss while limiting the Warhawks to 273 total yards. –Field Level Media

Matt Gogel shot an 8-under-par 64 on Saturday to take the lead after two rounds of the Constellation Furyk & Friends tournament at Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla. Gogel, 54, has a 12-under 132 total and a three-shot lead over second-place Cameron Percy of Australia entering the final day of play. Gogel, who was tied for fourth place with a 68 after the first round, had one eagle, seven birdies and one bogey on Saturday. Gogel's 64 tied the tournament 18-hole scoring record after he got four birdies to start the second round and five birdies on his first six holes. Of his fast start, Gogel said: "We're trained to play one hole at a time, right? I made a birdie on 1, 2 and 3. And then 4 you don't expect, that's like a 210-yard par 3, tough to hit the green. I settled in, and really the key I think was the back nine. … So I'm in good shape." Gogel, who is looking for his first career Champions win, had his eagle on the back nine — on the par-5 13th — along with two birdies. Percy, the first-round leader at 8-under 64, shot a 1-under 71 on Saturday and is at 9-under 135 after two rounds. He said the wind was his biggest challenge of the second round. "Yesterday the wind was consistent; we knew where it was. Today it was everywhere," Percy said Saturday. …"I had no control on my shots today; it kept going too far on me. I really struggled." Tommy Gainey shot a 67 on Saturday to share third place with Soren Kjeldsen (68) of Denmark at 8-under 136. David Duval, Chad Campbell and Vijay Singh of Fiji were tied for fifth at 137. "Tough conditions around here," said Duval, who had three birdies and the rest pars in the second round. Singh has won five times on the senior tour, but only once since 2018. –Field Level Media

Emmett Johnson ran for 83 yards and three touchdowns and Carter Nelson returned a blocked punt for a score Saturday as host Nebraska rallied for a 38-27 victory over Michigan State. Dylan Raiola also completed 16 of 24 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown for the Cornhuskers (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten). The Spartans (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten) tied it at 14 in the third quarter when quarterback Aidan Chiles scored on a 16-yard run on a fourth-and-4 play. On the Cornhuskers' following possession, Raiola was intercepted by Jordan Hall. Seven plays later, Chiles ran four yards for a touchdown to give the Spartans their first lead, 21-14. Chiles finished 9 of 23 for 85 yards and two interceptions to go along with the two rushing scores. Nebraska evened the game with 1:11 remaining in the third quarter when Johnson picked up his second touchdown on a 23-yard run. On the ensuing kickoff, Michigan State's Sam Edwards fumbled and Neb Nelson recovered at the Spartans' 28, setting up Kyle Cunanan's 27-yard field goal with 13:32 left in the game. Nebraska later added Raiola's 59-yard touchdown pass to Nyziah Hunter and Johnson's 11-yard scoring run to go up 38-21. Michigan State backup quarterback Alessio Milivojevic closed the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run. Neither team could get their offense rolling in the first half as they combined for just 138 yards of offense. On the Cornhuskers' first possession, Johnson ‘s two-yard run gave the Cornhuskers a 7-0 lead. Nebraska went ahead 14-0 when Jamir Conn blocked Ryan Eckley's punt and Carter Nelson scooped up the ball at the Spartans 3 and ran it in for a score. Chiles was forced from the game at the start of the second quarter when he was sacked by Elijah Jeudy on a first-and-goal from the Nebraska 6. Milivojevic replaced Chiles for two plays and tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jack Velling to pull the Spartans within 14-7. Chiles, who returned to the field on Michigan State's next offensive series, was intercepted twice by DeShon Singleton in the second quarter, but Nebraska was unable to convert the turnovers into points. –Field Level Media
