LENS, France (AP) — Striker Elye Wahi scored one goal and expertly created the other as Lens rallied to beat Arsenal 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.The northern French side moved top of Group B with four points and handed Premier League high-flyer Arsenal its first defeat of the season.“It certainly was difficult tonight and congratulations to Lens. As we all saw, they’re a really good side and the atmosphere was exceptional,” Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said. “We had to defend the box much better than we did.”The 20-year-old Wahi’s 19 league goals for Montpellier last season earned him a move for 35 million euros ($38 million). He even turned down Premier League big spenders Chelsea to join a Lens side which finished second in the French league last season behind Paris Saint-GermainStriker Gabriel Jesus fired Arsenal ahead in the 14th after a poor back pass from Lens midfielder Adrien Thomasson was picked up by Bukayo Saka.

CLEVELAND (AP) — For one of the few times in his life, Terry Francona won’t have to follow a strict daily schedule. He’s got freedom and flexibility.He’ll no longer have to rush to Progressive Field early in the morning to review scouting reports. There’s no required pregame media interviews anymore, and Francona doesn’t have to get out to the field for batting practice.Those hectic days are done.“I’m going to be OK not having that,” Francona said. “It’s been 40-something years of that. I’m ready to rest a little bit and let somebody else be in charge.”No one, though, will replace him.One of baseball’s most beloved figures, Francona stepped away from the game — at least temporarily — on Tuesday, ending a 23-year managerial career that began in Philadelphia, peaked with two World Series titles in Boston and concluded with an 11-season stay in Cleveland.Although his decision to leave the Guardians has been known for weeks, Francona and t...Giants to begin their managerial search with internal candidates this week

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants hope to begin interviewing internal managerial candidates this week as they seek to replace Gabe Kapler, who was fired last Friday with three games left in a second straight losing season.President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi said discussions are underway about who the club would like to speak with from inside the organization initially, probably a couple of people — and Zaidi is relying on input from retired catcher Buster Posey, who’s now part of the ownership group.Zaidi also noted he hopes to begin reaching out to other franchises early next week to receive permission to interview people on those staffs.While Zaidi has one year remaining on his contract and that brings potential instability, he stressed that San Francisco is a desirable destination nonetheless. His said his focus right now is finding a manager and not on his own negotiations for an extension.“The amount on incoming calls we’ve gotten serves to sup...Montgomery sparkles, Rangers beat sloppy Rays 4-0 in AL Wild Card Series opener
