MILWAUKEE — The Tampa Bay Rays are saving their ace for Game 2 and sending veteran right-hander Nick Martinez to the mound Friday night against Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the World Series.

Rays manager Kevin Cash announced the move Thursday at media day, passing over Drew Rasmussen even though Rasmussen was available on regular rest. Rasmussen, who has allowed three runs in 21 innings this postseason, starts Game 2 on Saturday with an extra day, and Freddy Peralta follows in Game 3 when the Series shifts to St. Petersburg.

Martinez, 36, earned the Game 1 assignment with his start against Cleveland in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, when he gave up one run on two hits in 5⅓ innings to pull the Rays even in that series.

“It’s exciting,” Martinez said Thursday. “I think as a team, as a staff, we’re confident in whoever we call up for the mound. It fell on me, and my job is just to rack up as many outs as we can and keep us in this ballgame.”

Across the field, Misiorowski gets the ball for Milwaukee after a regular season that made him the likely National League Cy Young Award winner — a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts. His October has been mortal by his standards, three runs in 8⅓ innings across two starts.

“He hasn’t been as crisp,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.

Misiorowski still plans on heat. Asked at his press conference what Pokémon energy he would bring to the mound Friday, he picked Charizard: “Fireball. Bring some fireball. I’m going to be ready.” 

Both clubs are chasing the first World Series title in franchise history, the first Series matching two first-time hopefuls since 1980. Milwaukee won a franchise-record 103 games and holds home-field advantage. Murphy, who lives in Mesa, coached Arizona State from 1995 to 2009 before building the Brewers into the National League’s best team.

Game 1 is Friday at 5:08 p.m. Arizona time at American Family Field, airing on FOX. Milwaukee has not announced its Game 2 starter.

SCOTTSDALE — Brian Urlacher stood in front of a room full of Chicago Bears fans at The Showroom at Talking Stick Resort on Thursday night and told the stories only the middle linebacker of those teams could tell.

The Showroom (Talking Stick Resort) was packed for it. Bears fans filled the tables in front of the room’s big screens — Payton jerseys, a Ditka jersey, Urlacher shirts — at the resort for the Thursday night watch party, with the Bears’ game against New England coming up on the screens behind him. There were no autographs; that was Urlacher’s deal with the resort. His jerseys were for sale instead, and the resort ran a raffle during the night.

The Hall of Famer took questions from fans ahead of the resort’s Thursday Night Football watch party for the Bears’ game against the New England Patriots, and the best of it was the old locker room.

Asked for a story about Lance Briggs and Charles “Peanut” Tillman that still makes him laugh, Urlacher described a locker room full of grown men playing dodgeball on Saturdays after the morning walkthrough, laundry bins set up in the middle of the room, offense against defense, for 45 minutes. The other game was dumber: put a box on a guy’s head and start slapping the box. “Box them up,” he called it — if you weren’t paying attention in that locker room, you got a box on your head at some point during the day.

“It was a bunch of big kids, is what it was,” Urlacher said. “Literally grown kids trapped in the locker room. But it was fun.”

The general manager, he admitted, was not happy about it. Because of him, there were no more events like it.

Tillman, he said, had a great personality, and Briggs was everybody’s funny guy — “when he was on time. When he showed up.” The two remain two of his favorite teammates.

The football answers were just as plain. Reading an offense came down to small tells: offensive linemen sit back a little on a pass, receivers switch their feet, stances give things away. The Bears watched 12 hours of film a week, which he called really boring. “I wasn’t a big film guy. It was very boring to me. I just wanted to read my key.”

Inside linebackers today are smaller than in his day — six feet, 6-1, 200 pounds and change — because the game is about speed now. Fred Warner, about his height at roughly 245, is probably the biggest inside linebacker in the league. Guys Urlacher’s size would be outside linebackers in today’s game. He also defended the punt as one of the biggest plays in football, about field position, especially in Chicago weather, where Brad Maynard’s positional punting mattered.

On the McCaskey family, he said every one of the kids worked in the building, and Virginia McCaskey drove herself to the facility every day at 100 years old. “They’re very hands-on. They’re in the facility all the time. It’s a big deal to them. The grandkids are there — in training camp, the grandkids will be ball boys.”

Asked at a casino, of all places, whether prime-time underdogs keep covering because games are rigged, Urlacher laughed it off — from a man who likes a wager himself. The players can’t fix a game, he said; nobody but a quarterback or a kicker could even try, and the players have no idea. “The refs, on the other hand, can really affect the game,” he said. “When I played, I knew the spread. I know now.”

Given one game to play over, he took two: Super Bowl XLI, the loss to Indianapolis, and the 2010 NFC Championship Game against Green Bay, when Jay Cutler hurt his knee. The 2010 team, he said, was better than the 2006 team.

And on Friday, he is back to being a dad. His son Kennedy started at Notre Dame before transferring to USC, where he starts at safety, and Urlacher flies to Madison on Friday for the Trojans’ game at Wisconsin. Watching him has been a lot of fun, he said — the travel to Notre Dame was a pain, but his son gets better every year. His advice to him has been simple: be a high-effort guy, and if you make a mistake, make it at full speed.

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to play a second straight game without rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, who is not expected to suit up Sunday against the Denver Broncos because of a lingering left ankle injury.

First reported by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.

Love, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, sat out last week’s 18–16 win over the Los Angeles Rams and did not practice Wednesday. Head coach Mike LaFleur has said the Cardinals will not put Love back on the field until he is at 100 percent. The left ankle problem is separate from the right ankle sprain Love suffered in the preseason, which LaFleur has said healed.

Love leads the Cardinals with 67 carries this season, for 245 yards and one touchdown, with 11 catches and a receiving score in five games.

With Love out last week, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight split the backfield against the Rams. Allgeier carried 18 times for 38 yards, while Knight ran 15 times for 80 yards and added 18 receiving yards.

The Cardinals (2–4) host the Broncos (4–2) on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. MST at State Farm Stadium. The game airs on CBS.

Chicago –  Two years into their NFL lives, the top quarterbacks of the 2024 draft class meet under the lights Thursday night, and both of them are winning Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (4-2) host Drake Maye and the New England Patriots (4-2) at Soldier Field to open Week 7, a Super Bowl XX rematch between two of the league’s surprise teams.

Williams, the No. 1 pick in 2024, missed three games with a hamstring injury and announced his return Sunday in Atlanta, completing his first 12 passes and finishing 30 of 36 for 305 yards and a touchdown in a 31-23 win. Maye, taken two picks later, has steadied himself after a shaky start and has New England on a three-game winning streak, having thrown for 1,463 yards and 11 touchdowns. The two have never faced each other as pros, and the winner leaves Thursday with a 5-2 record and a real claim on January.

The matchup underneath the quarterbacks favors whoever survives the line of scrimmage. Chicago owns the league’s best running game at 160.6 yards a game, though it will again be without running back Kyle Monangai, out a third straight game with thumb and toe injuries — with him the Bears have averaged better than 196 rushing yards, without him under 90. Right guard Jonah Jackson is back at full strength, which helps. The Bears’ defense has 17 sacks, and nickel corner Kyler Gordon returned Sunday with three sacks and two forced fumbles.

New England’s problem is in front of Maye. Both starting guards are out — Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) and Ben Brown (knee) — along with cornerback Carlton Davis III (neck). Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse, making his first NFL start, step in at guard, and right tackle Morgan Moses is questionable. That is a thin line to send against a defense that blitzes and a quarterback, Maye, who has handled the blitz well but has never seen pressure quite like a short week at Soldier Field. The Patriots also lean on the pass, 243.5 yards a game, and receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday and carries no injury designation.

Chicago is without linebacker Jack Sanborn (concussion), and linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) is doubtful. Chicago is favored by about a field goal.

How to watch: Thursday, 5:15 p.m. MST, Prime Video — Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung. The game also airs on FOX 32 in Chicago and WCVB in Boston.

Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” leads the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week, holding off Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” on the all-genre chart that ranks the biggest songs in the United States across streaming, radio airplay and sales.

“Patient Zero,” one of four new songs on the deluxe edition of Swift’s album “The Life of a Showgirl,” released Sept. 25, debuted at No. 1 and has not been anywhere else since. It is Swift’s 16th song to top the Hot 100, and the three weeks bring her career total to 52 weeks at No. 1. Only four acts in the chart’s 68-year history have spent more time on top: Mariah Carey (101 weeks), Rihanna (60), the Beatles (59) and Drake (58).

At No. 2, Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is still making history of its own. The country song spent a historic 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 earlier this year, passing Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” before Swift’s arrival ended the run this month. This week the song also tied Carey’s record on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart, reaching 26 weeks at No. 1 with 19.8 million U.S. streams in the latest tracking week. The song, from Langley’s album “Dandelion,” was written with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick and Joy Beth Taylor.

“I knew it was going on the record,” Langley told Billboard earlier this year. “I don’t think I could have ever imagined what’s happening with it right now.”

The rest of the top 10 shows how wide the all-genre chart runs. Stella Lefty’s “Boston” holds at No. 3 and Morgan Wallen’s “Been By Now” at No. 4, followed by Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” at No. 5 and ADELA’s “Nicole Kidman” rising to a new peak at No. 6. Ariana Grande’s former No. 1 “Hate That I Made You Love Me” is No. 7, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Stupid Song” holds at No. 8 and Karol G’s “BbYWOW,” with Judeline and rusowsky, climbs to No. 9. Dominic Fike rounds out the top 10 at No. 10 with “Babydoll,” his first top 10 hit — a song first released in 2018 that came back to life this year.

This week’s Billboard Hot 100 top 10 (chart dated Oct. 24, 2026):

1. “Patient Zero” — Taylor Swift
2. “Choosin’ Texas” — Ella Langley
3. “Boston” — Stella Lefty
4. “Been By Now” — Morgan Wallen
5. “Dracula” — Tame Impala & JENNIE

6. “Nicole Kidman” — ADELA
7. “Hate That I Made You Love Me” — Ariana Grande
8. “Stupid Song” — Olivia Rodrigo
9. “BbYWOW” — Karol G, Judeline & rusowsky
10. “Babydoll” — Dominic Fike

The Phoenix Suns had a night to forget to open the season, and by Thursday morning they were not running from it. Portland scored the first 21 points, led 43-12 after one quarter and rolled to a 124-83 win at Moda Center, and the Suns’ own words afterward matched the scoreboard.

Devin Booker called the loss a wake-up call, and one he was glad came early rather than later. Portland’s pace, he said, forced Phoenix into tough, hesitant shots, the Blazers’ guards stayed active on the ball, and the Suns have a lot to learn from the tape on both ends of the floor.

“This is definitely a wake-up call for us,” Booker said. “I’m glad it happened early.”

Jalen Green, who scored 10 in his Suns debut, said the offense was only part of the problem — a team cannot give up 43 points in a quarter and expect to be in a game. That was the number: 43 points on 52 percent shooting, the biggest first quarter

Portland has ever had in a season opener.

Head coach Jordan Ott credited the emotion in the building on Damian Lillard’s return night and said Portland used it better. His summary of the first quarter was the shortest one available.

“In that first quarter, we absolutely got blitzed,” Ott said.

On the other side, the night belonged to Lillard, who scored 25 in his first regular-season game in 17 months. He credited the work behind the comeback in his postgame interview on the Blazers’ broadcast.

“I give a lot of credit to all the people that invested their time — late nights, early mornings,” Lillard said. “We did the work, the preparation was there. It was just a matter of if my body would be there for me, and we checked every box. I was ready to go.”

Phoenix also lost Oso Ighodaro in the first half when he grabbed at his right hip, the same hip that cost him the preseason finale, and Luke Kennard (left knee tendinopathy) did not play. The Suns (0-1) get two days to sit with it before the home opener Saturday against Golden State.

Thanks to Duane Rankin and the Phoenix Suns for information.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — St. Louis City SC has its first trophy, and it came the hardest way there is. After 120 minutes without a goal, City beat the Columbus Crew 5-3 in a penalty shootout Wednesday night at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field to win the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the oldest soccer competition in the country.

Columbus ran most of the night. The Crew outshot St. Louis 16-5 and kept coming in waves, but the St. Louis back line blocked shots all evening and nothing got through. When the breakthrough nearly came late, the game turned on its goalkeepers. Captain Roman Bürki, who had kept City in the match, took a knee to the head making a save and had to come off in the 78th minute. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation and was later reported to be all right. His teammates carried his jersey with them when they lifted the trophy.

In came Ben Lundt, and the backup wrote himself into St. Louis soccer history. It was the second time in this Open Cup run that Lundt relieved an injured Bürki and faced a shootout. He saved Columbus’ first attempt, from Santiago Rodríguez, and City never blinked after that. Timo Baumgartl, Lukas MacNaughton, Chris Durkin and Damion Downs all converted, and Daniel Edelman buried the fifth kick to end it.

“I’ve been here for 4 years through the good times and bad times,” Lundt said. “It means a lot. I think that’s probably the highlight of my career so far, and I’m really proud that it’s with St. Louis. It means a lot to me. And you can see it means a lot to the club, to everybody, to the whole organization. I think everybody deserves it.”

Edelman, who played all 120 minutes before taking the winning kick, pointed at the roughly 2,000 St. Louis fans who made the trip.

“It’s the first trophy for me and for a lot of guys and for the city,” Edelman told CBS Sports. “because you look up there and you see that, and they completely deserve to have some silverware. And for us as a team, what we’ve been through this year, it’s phenomenal for us to have this night and have this trophy.”

The title is the 11th U.S. Open Cup championship won by a St. Louis club, and the city’s first since the Busch Seniors won in 1988. For a soccer town that produced champions from the Ben Millers in 1920 through the great Stix, Baer & Fuller teams of the 1930s, a 38-year wait is over. City, which only began play in 2023, also earns a place in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.

“It’s amazing,” head coach Yoann Damet told CBS Sports. “For me, it’s more the feeling I get for the players. Those guys, I see them every day. They wear their hearts on their sleeve and they really push all season long. Those guys are the same that were there in March when we were not winning. They were working as hard, and they were focused as much, and today is the reward. I’m super happy for them and super proud of the effort tonight.”

Columbus, chasing its first Open Cup since 2002, was left to live with a final it controlled and lost anyway.

“It’s hard because it’s a game you feel like you dominated the entire time, and then in the end it’s up to chance,” Crew captain Sean Zawadzki said. “It’s spot kicks. It’s the game, though, and there are so many games in the world that have been won and lost like that.”

CBS knows a good supernatural household when it sees one. The network built a hit out of “Ghosts,” and now the same creators, Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, are back on Thursday nights with “Eternally Yours,” a comedy about a vampire couple who have been married for 500 years and are feeling every one of them.

Charles and Liz, played by Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards, live in present-day Seattle — a smart choice for vampires, since the sun rarely shows up anyway. Their once-great romance has worn down into the same bickering any long-married couple would recognize, with one problem most couples do not have: in their world, vampires cannot get divorced. Forever means forever, and the show gets its best laughs out of that trap. Five centuries in, even true love needs a tune-up. 

What shakes the house awake is Max, the earnest human boyfriend of their adopted daughter, Emma. Played by Jaren Lewison, who also narrates, Max walks into the coven wide-eyed and in love, and his arrival forces Charles and Liz to look at what their own marriage has become. Around them sits the rest of the coven, including Jesse, a vampire who still carries himself like the 1980s personal trainer he once was, and his human wife, Phyllis, whose memory has been wiped so many times it barely holds a thought. Rose Abdoo nearly steals every scene she is in as Phyllis.

Edwards is the show’s warm center. Fans of “Ghosts” will remember her as the ghost Donna, and she brings the same comic timing here, only with a pulse — well, sort of. Weeks plays Charles dry and a little weary, the husband who has heard every argument before, usually because he has, for about 400 years.

The audience has shown up, too. The premiere drew 4.12 million viewers, even with the “Ghosts” fall premiere a year ago, and CBS won Thursday night. Its lead-in, “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” drew 5.50 million, so the new show held a healthy share of the crowd it was handed.

The comedy is gentle rather than sharp, and that is fine. This is comfort television with fangs, built on a simple truth: the supernatural parts are window dressing. The real subject is two people deciding, after all this time, to try again. A new episode airs tonight at 5:30 p.m. Arizona time on CBS, streaming on Paramount+.

Minnesota Timberwolves 131, Miami Heat 106 — Anthony Edwards scored 45 points as Minnesota rolled in Miami. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 35 in his Heat debut, a franchise record for a first game, but his new team was blown out anyway — the biggest name change of the summer started with a loss.

Memphis Grizzlies 123, Utah Jazz 103 — Ty Jerome scored a career-high 45 points for Memphis, stealing the show in the game built around the debuts of Utah’s Darryn Peterson and Memphis’ Cameron Boozer, the second and third picks in the draft.

Houston Rockets 128, Dallas Mavericks 110 — Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. scored 30 apiece and Alperen Sengun added 23 points and 10 rebounds for Houston. The quiet story was Fred VanVleet, back after missing all of last season with a torn ACL: 11 points, three steals and no turnovers, with Durant calling him the calming presence who settles the floor.

Indiana Pacers 123, New Orleans Pelicans 120 — The return game of the night. Tyrese Haliburton, playing his first regular-season game since rupturing his Achilles 16 months ago, had 23 points and 12 assists and took over the fourth quarter, erasing a 101-93 deficit in 90 seconds. Pascal Siakam scored 30, 12 of them in the fourth. Zion Williamson had 22 for New Orleans, including back-to-back 3-pointers late in the first half.

Toronto Raptors 135, Chicago Bulls 92 — Kawhi Leonard scored 23 in his Toronto return, matching Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes, and the Raptors led 43-23 after one quarter and never looked back. Chicago committed 27 turnovers. Matas Buzelis led the Bulls with 17, and No. 4 pick Caleb Wilson scored 16 in his debut.

Atlanta Hawks 132, Orlando Magic 125 — Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 31, including 11 in the fourth quarter and back-to-back 3s in the final two minutes, in a game with 22 lead changes. Jalen Johnson had 20 points and 14 rebounds for Atlanta. Paolo Banchero’s 35 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds weren’t enough for Orlando.

Charlotte Hornets 110, Brooklyn Nets 103 — One Suns fans will notice: Grayson Allen, acquired from Phoenix in the Miles Bridges deal, scored 21 off the bench with a late dagger 3 in his Charlotte debut. Naz Reid added 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first game as a Hornet. Julius Randle scored 33 in his Nets debut and Michael Porter Jr. had 26, but they were Brooklyn’s only two players in double figures.

Washington Wizards 128, Milwaukee Bucks 116 — Anthony Davis scored 34 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his Wizards debut, drawing “MVP” chants in the first quarter, and Trae Young added 20 points and 13 assists as Washington scored 77 in the second half. No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa sat out with an ankle injury. Tyler Herro (24) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (22) led Milwaukee in its first game since trading Antetokounmpo.

What we might be missing: Haliburton’s return is the national story of the night. Giannis losing big in Miami, Davis’ debut in Washington, and VanVleet’s comeback are the other three with legs — and Allen’s Charlotte debut is the one with a Phoenix tie.
