SAN DIEGO (AP) — Juan Soto hit a 461-foot homer and had four RBIs for the San Diego Padres, who were pushed closer to elimination from the playoff picture even as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals 12-2 in their home finale Sunday.Right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob pinch-hitter Michael Siani of a home run in the sixth. Tatis did a little dance and acknowledged the crowd's ovation. Tatis began his career as a shortstop but took over in right after he returned April 20 from an 80-game PED suspension. He missed all of last year with injuries and the suspension.Jose Azocar also homered for the Padres, who had nine extra-base hits in winning for the ninth time in 10 games. Their best stretch of the season is likely coming too late to avoid an embarrassing pratfall.The Padres came into this season with World Series aspirations after reaching the NL Championship Series last fall but have been a major disappointment. They've been under .500 since May 12 ...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — By the end, the beatdown got so bad Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel didn’t know what to do.He tried to run the clock out, but the Broncos simply couldn’t or wouldn’t tackle his running backs.He had long since put his backups in the game, but they ran roughshod over Sean Payton’s team, too.Finally, McDaniel had to order his team to sit on the ball to save the Broncos, the franchise he said this week caused him to fall in love with football way back when he was a kid in Aurora, one final, historic indignity.The Broncos did not give up an all-time, single-game record number of points to the Dolphins on Sunday.
