LOS ANGELES -- Yadier Molina’s 10^th-inning sacrifice fly lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Monday and sent their National League Division Series (NLDS) to a decisive fifth game.

A series of unfortunate events helped the Celtics snatch defeat from the throes of victory the other day. They appeared to be coasting along at home, taking the first quarter by five points, the second by eight, and the third by four against the seemingly disinterested Nets, holders of a dubious streak of four losses. And then, for some reason, fate conspired against them. Even with the visitors keeping just one starter on the court, they found their otherwise-comfortable lead (which went up to as high as 21) being whittled down methodically -- until they had none at the buzzer, and until they couldn’t forge one in overtime.

One of the best “stretch fours” in the Philippine Basketball Association has called it a career after Ranidel de Ocampo announced his retirement from pro basketball on Monday.

THE New York Yankees will shoot for their 11th straight win, a height they haven’t reached in 36 years, when they finish a two-game series in Atlanta on Tuesday.
