Dansby Swanson, bloodied by his own helmet, helps the Chicago Cubs shake off a weekend sweep with a 5-1 win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:09:11 GMT

The image of blood dripping near the right eyebrow of Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson on Monday night invoked the play-through-anything reputation he has developed during his career.This isn’t the first time Swanson’s helmet cut him. This time, as he slid headfirst into second base for a one-out double in the third inning of the Cubs’ 5-1 win versus the Washington Nationals, the helmet popped off and became pinned against second baseman Luis Garcia’s leg, cutting Swanson as Garcia turned to apply the tag.It prompted a brief delay as manager David Ross applied pressure to the small gash to stop the bleeding while a Cubs trainer put on medical gloves to bandage the spot.“I guess I can add that to my resume,” Ross quipped.Swanson joked with Ross that he had been watching too much Stanley Cup playoff hockey lately.“I’m 0-for-3 in terms of wins against a helmet,” Swanson said. “So unfortunately this is nothing new.

For as long as this series lasts, it will be a simple test against the Sixers.The Celtics can survive volcanic James Harden eruptions, like his 45-point outburst Monday night.They can navigate a no-show from Derrick White, who scored four points and sat down the stretch.They can even endure the return of expected MVP Joel Embiid, who lost three of four regular-season matchups and has yet to beat Boston when it matters most.But what the Celtics cannot, will not and did not survive Monday is losing the ball.Boston lost Monday’s 119-115 thriller when Malcolm Brogdon gifted a go-ahead, fast-break layup to Tyrese Maxey at 28.9.seconds to play, and Marcus Smart’s pass for Jayson Tatum instead found Paul Reed with less than 10 seconds left. The Celtics finished with 16 turnovers. Philly had six.That was it. That was the game.Yes, between Smart’s dump of a dump-off and Brogdon’s brain fart, Tatum hit two foul shots to push the C’s ahead 115-114. Tatum had curle...

He did it again.For the third time this season Alex Verdugo sent the Fenway Faithful home happy, crushing a walk-off solo home run into the Red Sox bullpen to lead off the bottom of the ninth and cap a wild 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.It was his second walk-off hit in three days, and with six walk-off RBI as a member of the Red Sox he now stands second only to David Ortiz (17) in club history since the 2000 season.Hearing him speak in the Red Sox clubhouse afterwards, you can tell it’s not a fluke.“I live for it, man. I live for that moment,” Verdugo said. “You don’t go up there thinking about failure, you go up there thinking I have a chance to help out the team to win a ballgame and I thrive for that moment.”Verdugo’s big home run was the final exclamation point on a statement win for the Red Sox, who turned the tables on a Blue Jays team that completely owned Boston a year ago.Last year Toronto beat the Red Sox 16 out of 19 meeting...
