Cubs 3, Mets 1 – Morel hits tiebreaking HR in 9th and Cubs top Mets 3-1 after spoiling Severino’s no-hit bid
Christopher Morel hit a two-run homer off Edwin Díaz to snap a ninth-inning tie and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 3-1 after being held hitless by Luis Severino into the eighth. Dansby Swanson singled off Severino with nobody out in the eighth for Chicago’s first hit, putting runners at first and second following a leadoff walk to Michael Busch. With runners at the corners one out later, pinch-hitter Nick Madrigal hit a broken-bat grounder to third baseman Joey Wendle, who made an ill-advised decision to try for an inning-ending double play. Madrigal beat the relay to first, and the Cubs evened it at 1. Brandon Nimmo hit his 13th career leadoff homer for the Mets.

NFL – Ex-Notre Dame and Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman signs with the Commanders
The Washington Commanders have signed former Notre Dame and Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman among 11 undrafted free agents. Hartman is the latest addition to a crowded group of QBs after the team selected LSU Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels with the second pick in the draft and signed veterans Marcus Mariota and Jeff Driskel and still has practice squad holdover Jake Fromm. The 24-year-old from Charlotte played five seasons at Wake Forest and one at Notre Dame before turning pro.
NFL – Jason Kelce will join ESPN and be part of ‘Monday Night Football’ pregame show
Jason Kelce will join ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” after retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Monday because it was not expected to be announced until the ESPN/Disney upfront presentation to advertisers on May 14. The Athletic was the first to report on Kelce’s choice. Kelce is expected to replace Robert Griffin III, who would continue with the network as a college football analyst. Kelce played 13 years for the Eagles. He was the most sought after former player by the networks for the upcoming season. He participated in last year’s NFL Broadcasting and Media Workshop.

Ryan will join James Brown, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher and JJ Watt. The 2016 NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowl quarterback joined CBS Sports last season as an NFL game analyst and appeared in studio during the playoffs and Super Bowl. The contracts of Simms and Esiason expired after the Super Bowl. Simms and Esiason were with the network for two decades.
NCAAMBB – FAU’s Vladislav Goldin to join Dusty May at Michigan, pulls out of NBA draft
Vladislav Goldin has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will join his coach from Florida Atlantic, Dusty May, as a graduate transfer at Michigan. Goldin’s decision was first reported Monday by ESPN. The Michigan men’s basketball program reposted the news on its X account. The 7-foot-1, 240-pound Goldin averaged 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game and shot 67% for the Owls last season. He had declared for the draft on April 2 but with the option to return to school.
FIFA – U.S. and Mexico drop bid to host 2027 Women’s World Cup
The U.S. Soccer Federation and its Mexican counterpart dropped their joint bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup and said they instead will focus on trying to host the 2031 tournament. The decision left a proposal from Brazil and a joint Germany-Netherlands-Belgium plan competing to be picked for 2027 by the FIFA Congress that meets May 17 in Bangkok. The USSF said the 2031 bid will call for FIFA to invest equally in the men’s and women’s World Cups. FIFA said last year it planned to spend $896 million in prize money for the 2026 World Cup after devoting $110 million for last year’s women’s tournament.
