Kristian Winfield: Celtics could be the first NBA team to ever come back from down 0-3

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was held out of the lineup due to a stiff neck for their series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Rizzo “should be fine,” but the team was being cautious. Rizzo left Sunday’s win over San Diego after he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on a pick off play that ended the six the sixth inning. Catcher Jose Trevino could be activated during the series in Seattle, Boone said. Third baseman Josh Donaldson is set to continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton could “possibly” join Donaldson, Boone said.

The Chennai Super Kings have won the Indian Premier League for a record-equaling fifth time with a last-ball, five-wicket victory over the defending champion Gujarat Titans. Ravindra Jadeja plundered a six and a four from the last two deliveries against Mohit Sharma to help the Super Kings chase down a revised target of 171 runs in 15 overs. Gujarat’s young left-hander Sai Sudharsan earlier made a blistering 96 off 47 balls and Wriddhiman Saha scored 54 in the home team’s total of 214-4 before rain arrived and took the already-delayed final well past midnight.

Denny Hamlin called for NASCAR to suspend Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott after a wreck involving both drivers on Monday at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After Elliott claimed that Hamlin bumped him twice during the race, Elliott appeared to hook the right bumper of Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota on lap 186, sending him into the wall and mangling his car. The crash sent both cars behind the wall, and left Hamlin fuming. Hamlin said called it a “tantrum” on Elliott's part and that he “shouldn’t be racing next week.” Elliott, the most popular driver on the NASCAR circuit, said the crash wasn’t about retaliation for being bumped by Hamlin earlier in the race. “No, just unfortunate circumstances,” Elliott said.

Liam Hendriks has been activated by the Chicago White Sox, clearing another hurdle in his return from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The 34-year-old Hendriks had no record and a 10.80 ERA in six rehab appearances with Triple-A Charlotte. The Australian right-hander allowed one run and one hit in one inning in his last game with the Knights on May 16.

Lewis gave the Minnesota an early lead with a three-run homer in the third. The Astros took the lead when Jose Altuve hit a grand slam in the seventh. But Lewis came through again late, tying it with an RBI single off closer Ryan Pressly with two outs in the ninth.

Pavin Smith hit a go-ahead, three-run homer, Drey Jameson threw 3 2/3 innings of impressive relief in his return to the big leagues and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. The Diamondbacks stormed back from an early 4-0 deficit with a five-run second inning, punctuated by Smith’s three-run homer to right-center that made it 5-4. Jake McCarthy had a two-run single earlier in the rally. Colorado’s Ryan McMahon homered in his fourth consecutive game, hitting a 445-foot drive that cleared the center-field wall for a 1-0 lead in the first. McMahon had four hits and finished a double short of the cycle.

Marcus Stroman pitched a one-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs beat the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays 1-0. Stroman simply dazzled, delivering his fourth complete game and second shutout in nine seasons. His only other one was against the Cubs during his 2014 rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays. He set a season high with 105 pitches and matched one with eight strikeouts. The right-hander walked one in winning his third straight start and helping the Cubs bounce back from a weekend sweep by the Cincinnati Reds. The only hit Stroman allowed was when Wander Franco delivered a clean single to left leading off the seventh. He then walked Brandon Lowe, but got out of that jam by getting Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into a double play.
