APPGA CHAMPIONSHIP
Koepka moves in front
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — It took just one hole for Brooks Koepka (KEHP’-kuh) to take the lead away from Phil Mickelson at the PGA Championship.
Koepka rolled in a 13-footer for birdie to move to 7-under par while Mickelson made bogey after driving in the rough and leaving his approach some 45 feet from the cup. He could not save par and dropped to 6 under.
The 50-year-old Mickelson is attempting to become the oldest player to win one of golf’s four major titles.
Koepka is seeking his third PGA Championship win in the past four seasons.

Indians’ Reyes to miss 5 to 7 weeks with oblique strain
UNDATED (AP) — The Cleveland Indians will be without cleanup hitter Franmil Reyes (FRAHN’-meel RAY’-uhs) for between five and seven weeks because of an internal oblique strain.
Reyes was placed on the 10-day injured list before Sunday’s game against Minnesota. The designated hitter left Saturday’s game with the injury, which the Indians initially called a strained left abdominal muscle.
His absence will be a major setback for Cleveland’s offense, which has struggled most of the season. He leads the Indians with 29 RBIs and is second with 11 homers.
In other MLB news:
— New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is on track to start Tuesday at home against the Colorado Rockies after being sidelined since May 9 with tightness in his right side. DeGrom threw a side session Sunday, and manager Luis Rojas said “everything looked good.” DeGrom struck out eight and walked none Thursday in three hitless innings during an injury rehabilitation outing for the St. Lucie Mets. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner is 3-2 and has an MLB-leading 0.68 ERA in six starts this year. He has 65 strikeouts and seven walks in 40 innings.
— The Minnesota Twins have placed pitcher Kenta Maeda on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain. The right-hander was pulled from Saturday’s game against Cleveland before the sixth inning. Maeda has been bothered by the injury in previous starts, so manager Rocco Baldelli said the decision was made to give him some time off. Infielder Nick Gordon was called up from Triple-A St. Paul. Maeda joins an extensive list of injured players for the Twins, who are last in the AL Central.
— The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Victor Robles on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle. The move is retroactive to Wednesday. Robles is hitting .246 with five RBIs in 39 games. Washington also placed right-handed pitcher Will Harris on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation. Harris is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in eight appearances this season. The Nationals recalled right-hander Kyle McGowin from Triple-A Rochester to take Harris’ place on the roster.
— Tampa Bay Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier has another freaky injury: left eye irritation stemming from an eyelash. Kiermaier left Saturday night’s game against Toronto in the fifth inning after first experiencing discomfort while shagging balls during batting practice. Kiermaier isn’t starting Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays but was available off the bench. He has a history of offbeat injuries, including hurting his hand during a base-running slide and injuring a wrist while attempting a diving catch. Kiermaier said it “seems like this stuff could only happen to me.”
F1-MONACO GRAND PRIX
Verstappen wins Monaco GP, takes F1 title lead from Hamilton
MONACO (AP) — Max Verstappen has won the Monaco Grand Prix for the first time to take the Formula One championship lead from Lewis Hamilton.
Verstappen’s second win this season and 12th of his career moved him four points ahead of Hamilton overall. The seven-time world champion finished seventh on a bad day for the usually ultra-reliable Mercedes team.
His teammate Valtteri Bottas dropped out when in second place after his team botched a tire change. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. finished second and McLaren’s Lando Norris was third. Hamilton took a bonus point for the fastest lap.
Pole sitter Charles Leclerc pulled out just before the race started.
