CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo has been watching a lot of the Final Five gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic womens gymnastics team. So when he jumped onto a wall to make a remarkable catch of a foul ball before sticking the landing, he had one thought.Maybe Final Six? Rizzo said, grinning.Jason Hammel threw seven innings of two-hit ball, Rizzo drew MVP chants after his circus catch, and the Chicago Cubs beat the banged-up Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Tuesday night to sweep a day-night doubleheader.Javier Baez hit a two-run homer while Hammel (13-5) struck out seven to extend his scoreless streak to 22 innings.But Hammel was more interested in talking about Rizzo. The first baseman jumped on the wall with both feet, leaned into the crowd and made a one-handed grab of Keon Broxtons popup in the fifth. He then snapped back and landed on his feet on the field.Stuck the landing, Hammel said. It was a great dismount.In the opener, Trevor Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months in Chicagos 4-0 win.It was a nightmare day for the Brewers, who lost second-game starter Chase Anderson to a bruised left quadriceps after two batters and slugger Ryan Braun to a left knee injury in the fourth inning.We think we dodged a bullet there, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsel said of Braun. The doctor checked everything out and everything looks good. Its going to be day to day with him.Hernan Perezs two-out solo homer in the ninth off Travis Wood ended Milwaukees 17-inning scoreless streak. After another single, Aroldis Chapman entered and gave up a walk and infield single before striking out Martin Maldonado for his second save of the day and sixth with the Cubs.David Ross walked and scored on Kris Bryants single to left in the third off Jhan Marinez (0-1), who relieved Anderson.Hammel had two hits and the Cubs took control on Baezs two-run shot to left-center in Chicagos three-run sixth off lefty Rob Scahill to secure its 13th win in 15 games.In the opener, Chapman got two outs and reached 103 mph to complete the three-hitter.Its probably a demoralizing feeling for the other team to see him warming up, Hammel said.The Brewers were left with seven losses in 10 games amid plenty of bad news.Anderson, who took a no-hitter into the eighth in his last start against the Cubs, was struck by Bryants comebacker. Anderson fielded and threw to first for the second out, but then limped off.Stiff and sore, Anderson said. Theres really not too much pain. Luckily it got all the muscle, so its just trying to get the swelling to go down.Braun limped off in the fourth after he crumpled into the side wall trying to catch a fly ball down the left field line.I sprained my knee, sprained my ankle a little bit, Braun said. But I think all things considered, it was probably the best scenario.Mike Montgomery followed Cahill in the first game and pitched two innings, Hector Rondon worked the eighth and Joe Smith walked two in the ninth.Cahill (2-3) also drove in a run with a safety squeeze, and the Cubs added runs on a wild pitch and Addison Russells sacrifice fly off Matt Garza (4-5).With right-hander John Lackeys right shoulder still sore after he left Sundays start, Cahill provides an option if the Cubs need a replacement.He gave us something to talk about, manager Joe Maddon said.Cahill bunted a 3-2 pitch in the fourth, and first baseman Chris Carters flip home wasnt in time to get Chris Coghlan.Garza allowed five hits and threw 103 pitches in five innings. Tyler Cravy, Milwaukees 26th player, threw two scoreless innings.They did a good job of grinding out at-bats, Garza said. They fouled off a lot pitches. Granted, I didnt have the best command.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Struggling RHP Michael Blazek went on the 15-day DL with a right forearm strain. He was really just fatigued, Counsell said. ... Damien Magnifico was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs and gave up Coghlans sacrifice fly in the eighth in the opener in his major league debut.Cubs: RHP Pedro Strop (knee surgery) was off crutches. Hes expected to miss at least a month.PAPELBON?Maddon said he hasnt been involved in any discussions about signing former Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon, who was released Saturday by Washington.Im not saying it cant happen, Maddon said, but for right now there is nothing happening.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93 ERA) faces RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-12, 4.07) on Wednesday night.

Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- J.P. Macura doesnt know why but for some reason his shot hadnt been falling quite right during Xaviers first couple of games.But that changed -- quickly -- during the 11-ranked Musketeers 83-77 victory over Clemson on Friday in the second round of the Tire Pros Invitational. The junior guard hit his first 3-pointer in the first 58 seconds, then exchanged a little trash talk with Clemson forward Jaron Blossomgame. It was on from there.Macura surpassed his career high with 23 points in the first half and finished with 28 in a battle of two strong-willed teams.I started the season off not shooting the ball very well and my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball, said Macura, whose previous career high was 21 points. I had all the confidence in the world when I was shooting and we just had a great team victory today.The Musketeers jumped out to an early double-digit lead due in large part to their patience and getting the ball to the open man, which was often Macura. He was 5 for 6 from 3-point in the first 20 minutes, and Edmond Sumner (11 points) and Trevon Bluiett (21 points) showed great patience in making the extra pass to find Macura.Macura scored just five points in the second half, ending the game shooting 10 of 12 from the field and going 6-for-11 from 3-point range. But his contribution was just enough to prevent Clemson from completing its numerous comeback attempts.His teammates really wanted to find him. He has that ability, said Xavier coach Chris Mack, whose team moved to 3-0 as it heads into the championship game on Sunday. He had a huge game in the first half and he made some big-time plays in the second half as well.But the Tigers made it interesting at the end, pulling to 81-77 in the final 7 seconds after several lapses by Xavier on both ends of the floor. The game wasnt secured until Bluiett hit twoo free throws with 6 seconds remaining.ddddddddddddt was the second close win for the Musketeers after they escaped Missouri with a one-point win in overtime Thursday.It was really fun, Macura said. Clemson is a very good basketball team and I think we came together as a team and played great team basketball.We played well on the defensive end and we just need to keep doing this.BIG PICTUREClemson: All five of the Tigers starters are double-figure scorers. Their problem on Friday was discipline and not giving enough effort on the defensive end. Macura was allowed to hit too many open 3-pointers.Xavier: The Tigers are talented but they are soft inside and that is where the difference came. They were outscored 36-28 in the paint.POLL IMPLICATIONSXavier: A win over a quality opponent like the ACCs Clemson should bolster the Musketeers standing.SHOWING RESPECTClemson coach Brad Brownell was proud of his team played, but recognized it was tough to beat an Xavier team that converted 53 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range for the game. The Musketeers seemed to have an answer for every run Clemson made.When Xavier shoots the ball like that theyre going to be hard to beat, Brownell said.DOMINATING THE PAINTOther players scored more points for Xavier but no contribution was perhaps bigger than center Sean OMara in the paint. He was 4 for 4 from the field and 2 for 2 from the free throw line to finish with 10 points.UP NEXTClemson: The Tigers will play the loser of the Northern Iowa-Oklahoma game for third place Sunday.Xavier: The Musketeers will play the Northern Iowa-Oklahoma winner in the championship game Sunday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '

Later this week, it is expected that college free agent Jimmy Vesey will decide on a landing spot.When the Hobey Baker winner hit the market at 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres had officially given up a third-round pick to the Nashville Predators for nothing in return. Sabres general manager Tim Murray traded the pick in June for exclusive rights to negotiate with Vesey, who elected to go to free agency instead of signing with Buffalo.Murrays move was worth the risk, but his gamble did not pay off. Had he not been able to woo free agent Kyle Okposo to Buffalo, Murray would have been considered one of the biggest losers of the offseason, especially since forward Evander Kane, who Murray acquired from Winnipeg during the 2014-15 season, has faced legal issues this summer.Who are some of the players, coaches and GMs who had the toughest summers?

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the contract has not been signed and the extension not revealed by the Flyers. The deal comes as Giroux was entering the final year of his contract and with the Flyers in the midst of reshaping a team that missed the playoffs last season. A two-time 25-goal scorer, Giroux is the Flyers top play-making offensive threat. He had 13 goals and 35 assists for 48 points in 48 games last season. Overall, hhe has 291 points (91 goals, 200 assists) in 333 career games spread over six seasons in Philadelphia.dddddddddddd The Flyers have already made several splashes over the past two weeks.

The Flyers did announce on Thursday that they will re-sign journeyman centre Adam Hall to a one-year deal. The Flyers acquired Hall by claiming him off waivers in April. ' ' '
