Yusei Kikuchi and four Toronto Blue Jays relievers combined to blank the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 on Tuesday. Kikuchi gave up three hits in five innings to record consecutive wins for the first time since April. Closer Yimi Garcia got four outs to record his fifth save in six tries. Spencer Horwitz and Bo Bichette each had two hits for the Blue Jays, who snapped the Brewers’ six-game home winning streak. The Jays lost Monday’s opener 3-1.

NBA FINALS

Kristaps Porzingis of the Boston Celtics has a dislocated tendon in his lower left leg but hasn’t been ruled out for Wednesday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the host Dallas Mavericks. The team says the injury to Porzingis occurred in the third quarter of Boston’s 105-98 victory in Game 2. It’s unrelated to the right calf strain that sidelined the 7-foot-2 Latvian for 10 consecutive playoff games. Boston leads the best-of-seven series 2-0.

STANLEY CUP FINAL

As the Edmonton Oilers boarded their flight back to Alberta on Tuesday for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, the Florida Panthers remained at home. They’ll fly out of South Florida on Wednesday, which gives them an extra day’s rest before a six-plus-hour flight to Western Canada. The series resumes Thursday with Game 3 in Edmonton. The Panthers lead the best-of-seven series 2-0. Only five teams have come back from that deficit to hoist the Stanley Cup.

 

RODEO

Party Bus, a three-year-old bull bred for bucking, has performed in his first and last rodeo. Party Bus made headlines last weekend at his first rodeo when he jumped the fence of a crowded arena in central Oregon and injured three people. One person broke an arm and another hurt their head and neck. A woman who was tossed in the air had the least serious of all the injuries. Party Bus was trained for bucking with a remote-controlled dummy.
