Apr 12, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres first baseman Ty France (25), right, is congratulated by center fielder Jackson Merrill (3) after hitting a solo home run during the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images Ty France, Ramon Laureano, and Jackson Merrill each homered Sunday, as the San Diego Padres finished off a four-game sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies 7-2 in a game where both starting pitchers went down with injuries.
France went 3-for-3, scoring three runs and finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Laureano and Manny Machado drove in two runs apiece, as San Diego extended its winning streak to five games, outscoring the Rockies 28-12 in the series.
But the Padres got some bad news in the fourth inning when Nick Pivetta, who retired the first nine men he faced, left with a 2-2 count on Edouard Julien in the top of the fourth. The club announced during the sixth inning that Pivetta was suffering from right elbow stiffness.
Colorado’s scheduled starter, Kyle Freeland, didn’t even make it to the post. He was scratched during warmups with what the Rockies termed left posterior shoulder soreness. Jimmy Herget became an opener for the second time in the series.
Herget (0-1) suffered the loss after allowing a first-inning run on Machado’s sacrifice fly. Freddy Fermin matched that sac fly in the second against Chase Dollander for a 2-0 advantage.
San Diego did most of its damage against bulk reliever Valente Bellozo, who permitted eight hits and five runs over 4 1/3 innings. France launched a 427-foot homer to deep left-center in the fourth for a 3-0 lead. Machado carved an RBI single to right in the fifth that plated Merrill.
Laureano broke the game open in the sixth with a two-run shot to left, his fourth of the year, and Merrill led off the seventh with his third homer of the season over the right field wall.
Overshadowed in the Padres’ power explosion was that their five pitchers allowed Colorado just two hits. Brett Sullivan drilled a two-run double to the wall in right-center in the fifth that scored Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle, while Hunter Goodman singled with two outs in the ninth.
David Morgan (2-0) was awarded his second win of the series after throwing 1 2/3 hitless innings, striking out four.

Olympic champion Imane Khelif injured her left shoulder while training over the weekend and was forced to postpone a professional fight scheduled for later this month in Paris.
Organisers said Monday that her April 23 fight at the iconic Salle Wagram in the French capital against German boxer Julia Igel was delayed to a date yet to be announced.
“This decision follows the injury sustained by Imane Khelif during a training session this weekend in Paris,” the organisers said in a statement.
A medical examination carried out Monday revealed “a painful syndrome in the left shoulder,” they said. “Due to the intensity of the biomechanical demands involved in high-level boxing, the medical team deemed the athlete’s condition temporarily incompatible with competition.”
The event was also set to feature two bouts for WBA titles and organisers decided to reschedule the entire evening.
“The health and physical integrity of our athletes remain our absolute priority. We wish Imane Khelif a speedy recovery. At an event of this level, including WBA championships, it was essential to guarantee optimal conditions for all participating boxers,” said former boxer Brahim Asloum, the promoter of the gala.
Tickets already purchased will be refunded, organisers added.
Khelif won the Olympic gold at the 2024 Paris Games amid international scrutiny on her and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting — another gold medal winner — and misconceptions over both boxers’ sex.
Both fighters were allowed to compete by the IOC after being disqualified from the 2023 world championships by the Russian-dominated International Boxing Association. The IBA claimed the women failed unspecified eligibility tests.
However, the IOC applied sex eligibility rules used in previous Olympics and said Khelif and Lin passed.
World Boxing took over as the sport’s governing body last year, and it implemented a sex eligibility policy last August requiring all fighters to take a one-time genetic test designed to identify the presence of a Y chromosome. Khelif has not competed in World Boxing-sanctioned events since the implementation of the test.

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson has hit out at the “delay” and “timidity” in helping Ukraine after travelling through the country unprotected during a 72-hour trip for a documentary.
The former prime minister travelled beyond the capital Kyiv to the so-called kill zone near the city of Zaporizhzhia where he witnessed first-hand the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The 61-year-old said Ukraine can and will win the war, but that “we are risibly failing to live up to our pledges” to the country.
Johnson said: “The Ukrainians are fighting the same war against the same drones that are being sent against civilians by the same alliance of tyrannies.”
“We have spent four years psalming platitudes and telling them that their fight is our fight.”
“On the basis of what I have seen, we are risibly failing to live up to our pledges, and to give them the help they need.”

The Bucks’ finished 32-50 with Sunday’s season-ending 126-106 loss at Philadelphia. It marked their worst record since 2013-14 and the first time they missed the playoffs since 2015-16.
“I have truly loved my time in Milwaukee. Coming back to where I got my start, to a city that has always embraced me, has been a privilege,” said Rivers, 64, who played college basketball in the city at Marquette from 1980-83.
“I am disappointed things did not turn out the way any of us hoped, but I am deeply grateful for this experience, the relationships built, and unwavering support from our fans and the community. Milwaukee will always mean a lot to me, and this chapter will hold a special place in my heart.”
Rivers had one year remaining on his $40 million contract, and the Bucks reportedly will pay the remainder of that contract. The club and Rivers and discussing a possible move to the front office for 2026-27, per reports.

Milwaukee compiled a record of 97-103 since Rivers replaced Adrian Griffin in January 2024. The Bucks lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the previous two campaigns under Rivers.
There was strife between the club and star Giannis Antetokounmpo this season. Antetokounmpo only played in 36 games in 2025-26 but insisted he was healthy enough to compete in games down the stretch of the campaign.
Rivers will be inducted as a coach into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in August. He just completed his 27th year on an NBA bench and has a record of 1,194-866. Rivers is sixth in victories on the all-time list and guided the 2007-08 Boston Celtics to an NBA Championship.

Two-time Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen will delay his return to competition until at least July following Achilles surgery, manager Daniel Wessfeldt said on Monday.
The Norwegian middle-distance runner underwent a procedure in February to address a chronic tendon issue. While the 25-year-old has resumed light training, he will skip the Diamond League events early in the year to focus on full recovery.
“It depends on how training goes through April and May,” Wessfeldt told Norwegian media. “If he regains fitness quickly, competing in the second half of the season remains the goal.”
The decision follows Ingebrigtsen’s absence for most of the 2025 season. After failing to reach the 1,500m semifinal and finishing 10th in the 5,000m at the Tokyo World Championships in September, he has not raced officially.

Mandatory Credit: Robert Edwards-Imagn Images Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry will be on a minutes restriction for the Golden State Warriors’ play-in game against the host Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
The 12-time All-Star point guard has played no more than 29 minutes in any of his four games since returning from a 27-game absence with a right knee injury.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed Sunday that Curry will remain under a restriction in the win-or-go-home contest at Inglewood, Calif. Insiders estimated his maximum court time would be about 32 minutes.
Curry, 38, played 29 minutes in Sunday’s 115-110 road loss to the Clippers in the regular-season finale. He scored 24 points on 7-of-14 shooting with six rebounds and three assists.
The 10th-seeded Warriors (37-45) are the only one of the eight play-in teams to finish the season with a losing record. They need to defeat the Clippers in the play-in tournament and then beat the winner between the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers to secure the No. 8 seed for the NBA Playoffs.
Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 43 games (41 starts) this season, the two-time league MVP’s 17th campaign with Golden State.
The league announced on Monday that Curry had the NBA’s top-selling jersey during the 2025-26 regular season, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Doncic and the New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson.

Briton Jack Draper was forced to retire from his first-round Barcelona Open match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Monday.
The 24-year-old was suffering from what appeared to be a knee injury that flared up in the second set, and he eventually pulled out at 3-6, 6-3, 4-1 down against the Argentine.
Draper returned from a six-month absence in February after suffering a left arm injury, which forced him to withdraw from the US Open in August 2025.
This was his first match of the clay court season, having pulled out of the Monte Carlo Masters, and his fourth event since returning from the injury in his serving arm.
