Omar Narvaez drilled the game-winning single to left field with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning as the host Seattle Mariners scored twice in the frame to rally to a 6-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. Seattle was one strike away from losing when Domingo Santana tied it up by lacing a 2-2 fastball from Oakland right-hander Joakim Soria (1-3) down the left field line for a double. The ball landed about one foot fair, and pinch runner Dee Gordon easily scored the tying run from second base. Lakers hire Vogel; no news on Kidd

The Los Angeles Lakers hired Frank Vogel as their head coach on Monday, confirming news that was widely reported Saturday. However, the press release announcing the move made no mention of the other alleged piece of the Lakers' new coaching setup.

Ex-Cowboys QB Romo fails to qualify for U.S. Open

Tony Romo failed Monday in his quest to qualify for the U.S. Open.

Reports: Woods sued over bartender's drunk-driving death

Tiger Woods is facing a lawsuit from the family of a bartender who worked at one of his restaurants following the staffer's death in a drunk-driving accident, multiple media outlets reported Monday. The parents of Nicholas Immesberger allege that their son, whom they allege had a "habitual problem" with alcohol, had been overserved after he stayed and had drinks following a work shift at The Woods, a restaurant in Jupiter, Fla., owned by the 15-time major champion and run by Woods' girlfriend, Erica Harmon. Massage parlor footage of Patriots owner suppressed in Florida case

Hidden-camera footage of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft at a Florida massage parlor cannot be used as evidence in his trial on charges of soliciting prostitution, a judge ruled on Monday in a victory for the billionaire. Attorneys for the owner of the reigning Super Bowl champions had asked the Florida judge to suppress the video, calling it governmental overreach from an illegally obtained search warrant. 76ers will retain Brown as head coach

Brett Brown will retain his job as head of the Philadelphia 76ers, team owner Josh Harris told ESPN late Monday night.

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant will miss Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday due to a right calf strain, ESPN said Monday.

Bortuzzo, Blues blow past Sharks, even series

The last time Robert Bortuzzo scored a playoff goal, he was in the first of his three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League. It was the spring of 2007, and he was 18 years old. The emphatic celebration from the St. Louis defensive defenseman was more than understandable when he scored a jaw-dropping goal that ended up the game-winner Monday night in the Blues' 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks that tied the Western Conference finals at one win apiece. NFL notebook: Judge suppresses video in Kraft's solicitation case

A judge on Monday granted Robert Kraft's motion to suppress video evidence, delivering the New England Patriots owner a huge victory -- and potentially derailing the prosecution's case -- as he combats charges of soliciting a prostitute at a Jupiter, Fla., massage parlor. Palm Beach County Judge Leonard Hanser sided with the defense's contention that the warrant that allowed recording devices into the spa, and the methods detectives used to obtain video, did not sufficiently protect the privacy and identity of innocent people in the surveillance videos.
