Sunday Sports Update
Top left: Ronald Torreyes hits a ground ball in the bottom of the 5th inning for the New York Yankees in the bottom of the 5th inning on Saturday. While it should have resulted in a routine double play, the Cleveland Indians committed two errors on the play, resulting in two runs scored. It was part of a four-run inning for the Yanks, who went on to win 5-2 and record their 14th win in their last 15 games. Photo by USA Today

But the Raptors, the top seed in the East, were undone by some late heroics by the Cavs and lost 105-103. Cleveland is now in command of the series, 3-0. Photo by NBA Entertainment
Bottom left: Speaking of seasons on the brink, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions are also in danger. On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 3-2 lead into the 3rd period, but the Washington Capitals finished Game 5 with four unanswered goals to win 6-3 and grab a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Bottom right: Running at a blistering pace on a muddy track was enough to justify a win at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Justify, the 3-1 morning line favorite, beat Good Magic by 2 1/2 lengths through the slop to win the 144th running of the Kentucky Derby. Photo by USA Today
