MLB-SIGNINGS

Davis strikes it rich in Baltimore

UNDATED (AP) — Chris Davis has signed the richest contract in the history of the Baltimore Orioles. The defending major league home run champion gets a new seven-year pact that will pay him $161 million.

Davis had 47 homers and 117 RBIs last season, and ranked 13th in the majors with 100 runs. Since 2012, Davis leads the majors with 159 home runs and ranks fourth with 412 RBIs.

Although he's only been with the Orioles since the middle of the 2011 season, Davis is 10th on the team's career home run list with 161.

The 33-year-old right-hander will receive $2 million next season. The White Sox hold a $3 million option for 2017 with a $250,000 buyout. He was 2-0 with a 1.21 ERA in 20 appearances last season.

NFL-FORGOTTEN FOOTBALLS

Refs forget footballs for Patriots, Chiefs game

BOSTON (AP) — This ball controversy can't be blamed on the Patriots.

Massachusetts State Police came to the rescue before Saturday's NFL playoff game between New England and Kansas City by delivering footballs that game officials left at their hotel.

League officials contacted the Hyatt at Logan Airport when it was discovered some balls and air pressure gauges had been left behind. The balls were the ones used in the kicking game.

Hotel workers entered the room and a state trooper drove the equipment to Gillette Stadium, arriving about an hour before kickoff.

The officials' gaffe came about a year after the start of the "Deflategate" scandal, when the Patriots were accused of using underinflated balls.

NHL-SCHEDULE

Lightning extend their win streak while ending the Blackhawks' streak

UNDATED (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks have seen their team-record, 12-game winning streak come to an end, stopped by a team that is almost as hot.

Victor Hedman assisted on goals by Anton Stralman and Nikita Kucherov as the Tampa Bay Lightning won their seventh in a row, defeating the Blackhawks 2-1. Ben Bishop faced just 17 shots and was perfect after Artem Anisimov (ah-NEE'-see-mahv) beat him 43 seconds into the game.

Stralman tied the game later in the first period before Kucherov scored on a power play with 3:21 left in the second.

The Lightning's winning streak has allowed them to vault to second place in the NHL's Atlantic Division, one point behind the fading Florida Panthers.

Chicago's loss allowed Dallas to climb within three points of the Hawks for the Western Conference and Central Division leads.

The Stars made up ground with a 3-2 victory against Edmonton. Jamie Benn scored his team-high 27th goal and Jason Spezza had a goal and an assist as the Stars ended a four-game losing streak.

— Eddie Lack made 31 saves and Jordan Staal scored 2:54 into overtime to complete Carolina's 1-0 win over Toronto. The Hurricanes ended a two-game skid and won for the fifth time in seven games, leaving them three points out of an Eastern Conference playoff slot.

NHL-PLAYER MOVES

Lightning suspend forward

UNDATED (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning have suspended Jonathan Drouin as general manager Steve Yzerman tries to trade the disgruntled winger.
