Edward Cabrera strikes out 10 as Marlins blank Angels 3-0

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Edward Cabrera struck out a season-high 10 batters over 5 2/3 innings, Jesus Sanchez had an RBI double and the Miami Marlins beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Sunday.

Cabrera (1-1) picked up his first victory of the season in eight tries as he matched his longest outing of the season while giving up three hits and two walks. Javier Sanoja and Connor Norby also drove in runs for Miami.

Kyle Hendricks (2-6) gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings. Travis d’Arnaud had the only extra-base hit for Los Angeles, a second-inning double.

Los Angels hitters combined to strike out 15 times with three hits against Cabrera and three relievers. Ronny Henriquez pitched the ninth for his first career save.

Sanoja’s third-inning sacrifice fly gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead. Otto Lopez singled to lead off the fourth, stole second base and scored on Norby’s two-out single to center for a 2-0 advantage.

Miami scored in three consecutive innings when Sanoja and Sanchez delivered back-to-back doubles with one out in the fifth.

With the Marlins leading 3-0 in the sixth and two batters on, the Angels' Taylor Ward hit a drive that was just foul down the left-field line. Bender struck out Ward on the next pitch to end the inning.

The Marlins won their fifth series of the season but their first on the road while improving to 8-15 in away games.

The Angels open a home series against the New York Yankees on Monday with right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (3-5, 5.03 ERA) on the mound.

The Marlins begin a series at San Diego on Monday with left-hander Ryan Weathers (1-0, 1.80 ERA) facing his former club.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Isaiah Evans scored 21 points and had a critical 3-pointer with 1:15 left to help No. 6 Duke beat No. 24 SMU 82-75 on Saturday.

Evans slipped to the left side for the 3-pointer off a feed from freshman star Cam Boozer to make it 76-70, a repeat of the play that sent Duke past Florida when he hit a late 3 here in December.

Patrick Ngongba II tied his career high in scoring with 17 points for Duke (15-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), while Boozer had 18 points — including muscling up his own interior basket to give Duke a 73-68 lead shortly before Evans' big shot.

Duke shot 49% and won its 25th straight home game.

Jaden Toombs had 23 points on 10-for-12 shooting to lead the Mustangs (12-4, 1-2), who started the week by entering the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since the end of the 2016-17 season before losing at Clemson on Wednesday.

The Mustangs had to play this one without leading scorer Boopie Moller, a 20.6-point scorer who was a game-time decision because of illness.

But SMU scored the game's first 11 points and gave Duke fits all day, shooting 56.6% and thrice getting within one possession in the final 4 1/2 minutes. The Mustangs' biggest problem was turnovers; they had 21 that led to 21 points for the Blue Devils.

At halftime, Duke marked the 25th anniversary of the program's 2001 NCAA championship, with former NBA players Shane Battier, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Jay Williams joining retired Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski at midcourt during the presentation. Boozer's twin sons, Cam and Cayden, both play for Duke.

SMU: The Mustangs host Virginia Tech on Wednesday.

Duke: The Blue Devils make their first cross-country ACC trip when they visit California on Wednesday.
