The Baltimore Orioles continue to be one of this MLB season’s surprise teams.

Spencer Strider certainly didn’t look like a rookie against the Rockies.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Ross Dellenger, and SI’s Pat Forde make their Week 1 picks against the spread.

On the heels of a horrific mistake, the much-maligned Sean Clifford led Penn State on a game-winning drive.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Sean Clifford avenged his biggest mistake Thursday night with one masterful, final drive. It may have saved Penn State’s conference title hopes. The sixth-year quarterback hooked up with Keyvone Lee on a 10-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds left, rallying the Nittany Lions to a 35-31 victory in their season opener at Purdue.

Spencer Sanders made an early-season statement with a career-high 406 yards as well as six total touchdowns.

Rafael Nadal overcame a freak injury scare when he accidentally hit himself with his own racquet to reach the US Open third round on Thursday.

Rafael Nadal cut himself on the bridge of his nose with his own racket when it ricocheted off the court on the follow-through from a shot, leaving himself bloodied and dizzy during his second-round victory at the U.S. Open. Play was delayed for about five minutes during a medical timeout in the fourth set of what would become a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 win against Fabio Fognini at Arthur Ashe Stadium in a match that began Thursday night and finished after midnight on Friday. It made for a bizarre, and briefly scary, scene, as Nadal immediately grimaced, dropped his racket, put a palm to his face and then placed both hands on his head.
