The International Olympic Committee opened disciplinary proceedings Tuesday against the 31 unidentified athletes from 12 countries who competed in Beijing and were planning to take part in the Rio de Janeiro Games in August. The IOC said it also planned to reanalyze drug tests from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games after allegations samples were tampered with as part of a state-sponsored Russian doping program.

Now Cervelli will try to help the Pittsburgh Pirates continue their offensive dominance in this series Wednesday night when they look to complete their first three-game home sweep of the major league-worst Braves in 22 years. Shortly after inking a $31 million, three-year deal Tuesday that runs from 2017-19, Cervelli had an RBI single and an RBI double in his first two at-bats before adding a single and a stolen base as the Pirates held on for a 12-9 victory.

There are nights when Gregory Polanco will head to the dugout after an at-bat knowing it will be a while before he gets another turn at the plate. The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder - moonlighting in left field instead of his usual spot in right while Starling Marte is on paternity leave - ripped three doubles in a 12-9 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Pittsburgh jumped on Atlanta starter Aaron Blair for nine runs then held on late while pounding out a season-high 21 hits. Continue to Article

Brewers 4, Cubs 2 Ben Zobrist broke up Chase Anderson's no-hit bid with a leadoff double in the eighth inning and Jason Hayward and Kris Bryant hit back-to-back homers in the ninth, but it was not enough to prevent the Chicago Cubs from falling 4-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Anderson was perfect through 5 1/3 innings, allowing his first runner of the day on a one-out walk to Miguel Montera. Continue to Article
