AP Memorial Day Sports Roundup

Rookie wins Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — If you hadn't heard of Alexander Rossi, you can read his name on the Borg-Warner Trophy.

The 24-year-old American entered the Indianapolis 500 as a longshot before winning the 100th running of the race. Rossi stretched his fuel to the finish before running out of gas after taking the checkered flag. The Californian earned a victory for Andretti Autosport by running the final 36 laps without a pit stop.

Rossi had been driving in F1 before coming back to America this year to drive for Bryan Herta in a partnership with Andretti Autosport. Herta was the winning car owner in 2011 with Dan Wheldon.

Race leader Carlos Munoz was forced to pit with four laps to go for fuel, opening the door for Rossi. Munoz finished second, followed by Josef Newgarden, Tony Kanaan and Charlie Kimball.

Helio Castroneves was the last rookie to win the race in 2001.

Truex sets NASCAR records in dominant performance at Charlotte

CONCORD, N.C (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. put together a dominant performance in winning the Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the Sprint Cup season.

Truex started from the pole and earned his first victory of the season by leading for a whopping 392 of 400 laps in the 600-mile race. He broke a 49-year-old race record for most laps led, replacing the mark set by Jim Paschal in 1967. He also set a new NASCAR record by leading 588 miles.

Truex finished more than 2 ½ seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick, with Jimmie Johnson in third. The only time Truex gave up the lead was when he pitted and others stayed on the track.

Johnson was the only other driver to lead for more than two laps.

Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five.

MLB-SCHEDULE

Giants, Royals still sizzling

UNDATED (AP) — The San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals remain two of hottest teams in the majors.

The Giants made it 15 wins in their last 17 games as Johnny Cueto held Colorado to one earned run in six innings of an 8-3 rout of the Rockies. Hunter Pence delivered a trio of RBI doubles, Brandon Belt added a two-run double and Denard Span smacked a solo homer. The Giants collected eight doubles to back Cueto, who improved to 8-1.

The Giants' hot streak began after they dropped three straight and five of seven to fall to 17-18.

Meanwhile, the Royals took over first place in the American League Central by posting their second straight comeback win over the Chicago White Sox. One day after a seven-run ninth gave them an 8-7 victory, the Royals scored three times in the eighth to beat the Pale Hose 5-4. Lorenzo Cain sparked the rally with a solo homer and Brett Eibner tied it with a bases-loaded walk before Cheslor Cuthbert singled home Jarrod Dyson with the go-ahead run. Cain had two RBIs and Eric Hosmer went 3-for-4 with an RBI to help the Royals win for the 10th time in 13 games.
