Sports Night: Gay stays hot in Kings’ win
Kings: Gay leads the way in win over Spurs
Rudy Gay continues his hot shooting, scoring 26 points in the Kings’ 95-92 preseason victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Sleep Train Arena. San Antonio’s Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Boris Diaw did not travel to Sacramento. Neither did Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Gay has hit 8 of 10 three-point attempts in the past two games. He made 2 of 3 beyond the arc on Thursday.

ALDS: McHugh pitches Astros to 5-2 win over Royals
The Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals at their own game, relying on sharp pitching from Collin McHugh and stingy defense behind him for a 5-2 victory in the opener of their AL Division Series. McHugh allows four hits, including a pair of solo homers by Kendrys Morales, while pitching around a 49-minute rain delay. The right-hander lasts six innings before turning the game over to his bullpen, which scattered just three runners over the final three frames.
