TORONTO -- Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano left his major league debut against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday after four innings because of cramping, the team said.

Sugano took the mound to warm up for the bottom of the fifth before manager Brandon Hyde, Orioles trainers and an interpreter gathered around him for a conference. Sugano was seen flexing his right hand before walking off.

"He feels much better now after getting fluids and some food," Hyde said after the Orioles lost 3-1. "He should be in line to make his next start."

Sugano did not speak to reporters following the game.

Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser was unable to bat in the ninth after he bent his left thumb sliding into first base on a close play in the seventh. Cowser played left field in the seventh and eighth but couldn't hit, Hyde said.

Gary Sanchez hit for Cowser and struck out to end the game.

Cowser had a metal brace on his thumb in the clubhouse.

Making his first start in North America after 276 appearances with Japan's Yomiuri Giants, Sugano allowed two runs and four hits against the Blue Jays.

Toronto's George Springer drove in both runs with a two-out single in the first.

"I thought Tomo threw the ball really well, just made a little bit of a mistake with Springer," Hyde said.

Sugano walked two and struck out one. He threw 73 pitches, 45 for strikes, and retired five of the final six batters he faced.

Sugano signed a $13-million, one-year contract with Baltimore in December.

At 35 years and 170 days, Sugano is the oldest Japanese player to make his MLB debut since Ken Takahashi (40 years, 16 days) with the Mets in 2009.

Right-hander Matt Bowman replaced Sugano.

MIAMI -- The Conine family had a very special Sunday.

Jeff Conine became the first member of the Marlins' Hall of Fame when he was inducted before the team's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 58-year-old Conine, nicknamed "Mr. Marlin," helped the franchise win the World Series in 1997 and 2003.

Conine's son, Griffin, then hit a tying solo homer with two outs in the seventh inning of Miami's 3-2 win. Derek Hill scored the winning run on David Bednar's wild pitch in the ninth as the Marlins took three of four in the season-opening series.

"From the ceremony itself and then getting to come up in a big spot and do it, and then us finishing with a win -- our third walk-off win in four days -- it's awesome," Griffin Conine said. "We're in a great spot to start the year."

Conine, 27, connected for his first homer of the season a day after he robbed Jack Suwinski of an eighth-inning homer with a leaping catch in left.

Conine, a second-round pick in the 2018 amateur draft, was acquired by Miami in a 2020 trade with the Toronto Blue Jays. He made his major league debut in August, joining David and Ryan Weathers as the only father-son duos to play for the Marlins in franchise history.

Conine hit .268 with 3 homers and 12 RBIs in 30 games with Miami in 2024.

With a group of family members, friends and former teammates looking on, Jeff Conine was presented with a teal jacket as part of the induction ceremony.

He played for the Marlins from 1993 to 1997 and again from Sept. 1, 2003, through the 2005 season. The two-time All-Star batted .290 with 120 homers and 553 RBIs in 1,014 regular-season games with the organization.

Conine was selected in the 1992 expansion draft from the Kansas City Royals. He went 4-for-4 and scored two runs in the Marlins' first game, a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 5, 1993.

"It's hard to believe that 33 years ago, Charlie Hough threw that floating knuckleball to Benito Santiago to start this franchise," Conine said during the pregame ceremony. "And I feel so blessed and fortunate to be on that first team, to be in left field to witness that first pitch, and to watch this franchise grow over the years."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia hit solo home runs in the sixth inning, capping a day that started with the return of ace Jacob deGrom, and the Texas Rangers outlasted the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday.

The homers came after Boston scored twice in the top of the inning off Texas' bullpen to spoil deGrom's first start of the season. DeGrom allowed two hits in five shutout innings and was lifted after nearing his pitch count at 73.

"Really good slider and fastball, used the changeup well today," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said of deGrom. "A good start by Jacob. He got us to where we were hoping. Really terrific job today."

DeGrom, 36, the National League Cy Young Award winner of 2018 and 2019 with the New York Mets, is returning from his second Tommy John surgery in May 2023. His second time through the lineup, he recorded five of his six strikeouts.

"It was nice obviously to be back out there and to go five," deGrom said. "Build from there. Still got work to do."

DeGrom, a free agent signee who secured a five-year, $185 million deal heading into the 2023 season, made just his 11th career start with Texas. But as expectations have risen for a club that disappointed last year after winning the World Series in 2023, deGrom was his normal self against a potent Red Sox lineup.

"I wanted to go deeper knowing that the bullpen was taxed last night," deGrom said in referring to Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

But his manager, at this point in the season, isn't focused on length just yet.

"Next game, he could go six innings, maybe seven," Bochy said. "He's excited about how he feels. That's nice to see. He's an important part of this staff. It's good to see that guy out there every fifth day."

The offense made sure deGrom's exit wasn't damaging. Langford's opposite-field homer off rookie Richard Fitts (0-1) barely cleared the wall in the right-field corner. Two batters later, Garcia blasted an 0-2 sweeper into the second deck in left field. Fitts gave up three runs on six hits with no walks over six innings.

The Red Sox scored twice in the sixth inning off Shawn Armstrong (1-0) to take the lead. Wilyer Abreu hit a two-out, 0-2 opposite-field double into the left-field corner to score Kristian Campbell and came around when Rangers third baseman Ezequiel Duran threw low to first base.

Texas took a 1-0 lead in the second, loading the bases on singles on four pitches, followed by Duran's sacrifice fly -- on a sliding grab by Jarren Duran -- to score Jake Burger.

Luke Jackson pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his second save in two opportunities.

The Rangers won three straight after dropping the series opener, and in doing so, they extended the frustration of Red Sox star Rafael Devers. The designated hitter went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a walk Sunday, and completed the series 0-for-16 with 12 strikeouts.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers became the first major leaguer to strike out 12 times in a season's first four games.

Devers went 0-for-4 with two more strikeouts Sunday in Boston's 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers.

Devers' latest mark for futility came a day after he became the first big leaguer to be fanned 10 times in the first three games of a season.

He's 0-for-16, though he did draw a two-out walk in the ninth Sunday to keep the inning alive and put the potential tying run in scoring position.

The 12 strikeouts broke the previous record of 11 in the first four games, which had been done four times previously since 1901, according to SportRadar.

Brent Rooker of the Athletics struck out 11 times to open last season. The others were Atlanta's Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2020, Minnesota's Byron Buxton in 2017 and Houston's Brett Wallace in 2013.

Devers is now solely the Red Sox DH after their offseason acquisition of third baseman Alex Bregman.

World No.1-to-be Mostafa Asal and World No.3 Hania El Hammamy lifted the Optasia Championships after delivering one-way wins on Sunday.

Asal successfully ensured he would overtake current World No.1 Ali Farag to the summit of the world rankings following a controlled 11-4, 11-4, 11-8 victory over Paul Coll.

The Egyptian has now lost only twice this year, following defeats to Ali Farag and Diego Elias.

Im really happy and proud of myself to bounce back after all of the controversial things in the past, said Asal.

The Egyptian started the match where he left off from his semi-final comeback over No.3 seed Joel Makin, finding his lines and lengths on the all-glass court at the Wimbledon Club and controlling the pace of play on his terms. 

The opening two games both went in Asals favour by dominant 11-4 scorelines, before Coll stepped up the court and began to place more pressure on Asal early in the third. 

Asal, though, continued to cut a relaxed and confident figure, with the top seed pouncing with relentless power whenever Colls length was marginally off. 

Despite defending champion Coll saving two championship balls, Asal wasnt to be denied, sealing his 19th PSA Tour title with a backhand drop into the front left court.

Im really happy with myself, Asal said after the match. And to be World No.1 again, It just hits different.

Paul [Coll] is such a legend of the game and for sure I knew that he had been touring in New Zealand and Australia and he had had some tough matches here. But still, Paul is so fit and I knew it would be a tough battle.

Meanwhile, in the womens final, World No.3 Hania El Hammamy stormed through to her second title of the 2024/25 season following a flawless three-game victory over England No.1 Georgina Kennedy. 

El Hammamy, the top seed at the Gold-level final this week, played with incredible control throughout her 35 minutes on court, moving through to her 15th PSA Tour title by an 11-9, 11-2, 11-3 scoreline. 

After overturning an early 9-6 deficit in the first game, El Hammamy continually pinned Kennedy deep in the court with some superb lines and lengths, only growing in confidence as the match progressed. 

The Egyptian took a one-sided second game to the loss of just two points, before cruising to seven championship balls after a third game filled with superbly-constructed rallies.

El Hammamy sealed victory in fitting style, hitting a perfect dying length beyond the reach of Kennedy in the back forehand corner. 

The first game was really, really tough today, El Hammamy said after the match. I had a few nerves, and I think after that first, I relaxed a bit and was able to play my best game.

I knew that if I got my tactics right, I got my length right, I would be able to get through in three. But obviously, the first could have gone her way and I had to battle hard.

I found better targets from there and I found the good performance that I was looking for.

Teenager Angus Hall scored an eye-catching try on his first Premiership start as Saracens reignited their top-four hopes with a hard-fought win at Leicester Tigers.

The 19-year-old collected Elliot Daly's pass and sped clear to finish in the corner after Saracens had fallen behind for the first time in the match.

Jamie George and Juan Martin Gonzalez gave the visitors a 14-point lead before the Tigers fought back to lead through Freddie Steward and a Hanro Liebenberg double either side of half-time.

But Hall's effort pulled Saracens level and replacement Theo Dan scored the decisive try from a Leicester line-out, with Cameron Henderson's effort for the Tigers controversially ruled out for offside.

Saracens' bonus-point win lifts them to sixth in the table, two points behind Leicester in third.

Sarries, who started with a quartet of England players in an effort to boost their play-off chances, suffered an early setback as prop forward Fraser Balmain was carried off injured in the opening minute.

But it did not disrupt the visitors' rhythm as they quickly opened a 14-point lead, moving the ball back and forth across the pitch inside Leicester's 22 before George eventually burst over the line.

George and Theo McFarland then made inroads on the right and Saracens brought the ball back infield for Gonzalez to scoot through a sizeable gap in the Tigers' defence, with Alex Lozowski adding the extras on both occasions.

A try-saving tackle by Tom Willis denied Solomone Kata soon afterwards, but a wave of Tigers pressure finally paid off as Ollie Hassell-Collins set up Steward, who broke clear to score under the posts.

After Handre Pollard and Lozowski had traded drop-goals, it was Leicester who finished the first half in the ascendancy after Liebenberg squeezed over to reduce the gap to two points at the turnaround.

That momentum spilled into the second half as the Tigers turned the ball over deep in opposition territory and Liebenberg took advantage, going over for his second try to put the home side ahead for the first time.

The lead was short-lived, however, with quick hands from Saracens enabling Daly to release Hall and the youngster displayed good technique to hold off Adam Radwan's challenge and dot down just inside the corner flag.

Saracens were hit by another injury blow when Lozowski was forced off on the hour - but again they responded by scoring, with Maro Itoje doing enough to disrupt the line-out so that Julian Montoya's throw sailed through for Dan to collect and finish.

The home crowd thought their side had levelled again immediately as Henderson charged down Ivan van Zyl's kick from the scrum and scampered over - but referee Luke Pearce adjudged the Leicester lock offside and chalked off the try after a video replay.

Chelsea dropped points at home for the first time in the Women's Super League (WSL) this season after West Ham's injury-time equaliser at Kingsmeadow on Sunday.

Following Chelsea's midweek extertions in the Champions League, manager Sonia Bompastor made seven changes to the lineup that started against Manchester City on Thursday.

Two of the new additions -- Maika Hamano and Aggie Beever-Jones -- put Chelsea 2-0 up early into the first half before Shekiera Martinez havled the deficit close to the break. West Ham pushed hard for an equaliser and got reward for their efforts in injury time when Martinez headed past Hannah Hampton for her second goal of the evening.

West Ham are only the third team to take points off unbeaten-Chelsea this season, with Leicester City and Brighton also holding Bompastor's side to draws.

The result keep leaders Chelsea six points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who beat lowly Crystal Palace 4-0 earlier on Sunday. Beth Mead bagged a brace for the north London side, with Alessia Russo continuing her fine goalscoring form with her 11th league goal of the season.

Manchester United maintained pace at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Everton while City bounced back from their midweek Champions League exit with a 2-1 win over Brighton.

Elsewhere, Liverpool fell to a second succesive league defeat after a 2-1 loss at home to relegation-threatend Aston Villa while Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester.

FIFA has drawn up plans to hold a one-game playoff between Club América and Los Angeles Football Club to determine a replacement team for Club León at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, sources have told ESPN.

Club León was removed from the Club World Cup on March 23 when FIFA ruled that its inclusion would violate competition rules preventing two clubs with the same owner from taking part in the tournament. León is owned by Grupo Pachuca, which also owns fellow Liga MX side Pachuca.

"In line with article 10 paragraph four of the regulations for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, FIFA has determined that Club León will be removed from the competition, with the club to be admitted as a replacement to be announced in due course," FIFA said in a statement.

The plans for the playoff would be set in motion if León loses its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to be reinstated to the Club World Cup.

CAS announced a hearing would be held on April 23 in Madrid, Spain for both León and Costa Rican side Liga Deportiva Alajuelense to present their arguments. Alajuelense originally submitted the complaint to CAS, citing that León's participation violated the FIFA regulations and arguing they should receive a spot in the tournament instead.

Now, both clubs have until April 2 to gather legal documentation before presenting arguments on the 23rd. No plans of a replacement will be announced until each legal case is resolved.

FIFA has some options for a replacement team. It could simply go with LAFC, who was the runner-up in the competition that Club León won -- the 2023 Concacaf Champions League. Alternately, FIFA could use the highest ranked team in Concacaf that isn't already in the tournament, which is Club América. There had been some precedent for the latter approach, given that the UEFA ranking pathway is how Red Bull Salzburg got into the Club World Cup since Real Madrid had won two of the previous UEFA Champions League titles.

Sources have told ESPN FIFA decided to give both teams a chance, and has opted to hold a one-game playoff with the date and venue to be determined, so long as León's appeal is unsuccessful.

Representatives from FIFA and LAFC declined to comment.

When asked about qualifying to the tournament, Club América head coach Andre Jardine confirmed the team must earn their spot on the field.

"León should go to the Club World Cup. I'm sad for the institution and I'd like them to find a solution so they can go," Jardine said.

"If it doesn't happen, then América has been doing things well for a long time. It's true that they haven't yet won the Concacaf Champions Cup, which is a dream of ours and a very clear objective. We're leading most of the Mexican tournaments, and the Concacaf ranking, which is one of the criteria. If you ask me if I want to go to the Club World Cup, of course it's true, but I'd like to go to the Club World Cup by achieving it on the field. That's what we're working towards."

The 32-team Club World Cup is set to begin on June 14, with the final being held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on July 13.
