Orion Kerkering (7-1) tossed a 1-2-3 seventh inning for the win. Jhoan Duran earned his 26th save with a scoreless ninth. Andrew Morris (4-4) took the loss.
(Green Bay, WI) — It’s one of the biggest developments of Packers training camp. Tight end Tucker Kraft returned Sunday to team drills. He took part in 11-on-11 work for the first time since injuring his knee last year. This move means it is possible he will be on the field for the joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals a week from Wednesday and, barring the unforeseen, should play for Green Bay on Week 1.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is back to his dominant self. The world’s No. 1 player took a two-shot lead and turned into a blowout at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He shot a 66 and won by eight shots over Si Woo Kim. That’s the largest margin of victory at the TPC Southwind in its 68-year history. Kim shot 68. Scheffler not only won $3.6 million, he clinched a $23 million bonus for being No. 1 in the FedEx Cup through next week’s BMW Championship.
