Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:28 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman scored to send Bayern Munich back to the top of the Bundesliga with a 2-0 win over last-place Hertha Berlin on Sunday.Gnabry made the breakthrough with a diving header to Joshua Kimmich’s cross in the 69th minute and Coman sealed the win 10 minutes later, again thanks to a fine pass from Kimmich. It was enough to send Bayern one point clear of Borussia Dortmund with four rounds left. Dortmund, held to a 1-1 draw in Bochum on Friday, must now hope for a favor from Bayern’s remaining opponents — Werder Bremen, Schalke, Leipzig and Cologne — if it is to end the Bavarian powerhouse’s 10-year reign as German champion.Hertha had goalkeeper Oliver Christensen to thank for avoiding a heavier loss.

Hertha remains the prime candidate for relegation. It’s bottom of the league and six points f...

First-year manager Pedro Grifol replaced Robert with a pinch hitter in the second.The White Sox went on to a 12-3 loss to the Rays, extending their slide to 10 in a row.Robert said he was trying to play through some right hamstring tightness and should have let Grifol know how he was feeling. Grifol said Robert’s hamstring tightness — not his lack of hustle on the first-inning play — was the reason he was out of the lineup Sunday.“When we are struggling as a ballclub like that, I think it’s human nature for them to want to be a part of us getting back on track. And I think he felt like he could play and help us,” Grifol said before the s...
