NASCAR-BRICKYARD 400

Kyle Busch sweeps weekend at Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Busch's incredible comeback has rolled through Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Busch won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday to sweep the weekend at the historic track. Busch also won the second-tier Xfinity Series race Saturday at Indianapolis.

Busch missed the first 11 races of the season with a broken right leg and broken left foot. He returned in late May and has won four of the last five Sprint Cup Series races and three in a row.

His Indy victory moved him within 23 points of cracking the top 30 in the standings — where he needs to be to make NASCAR's championship race. It also gave Toyota its first Cup win at Indianapolis.

Joey Logano ran second. Jeff Gordon's career at the track spanned from first-to-almost worst as NASCAR's only five-time winner at the Brickyard limped to a 42nd-place finish in his final turn on the famed Indy track.

MLB-HALL OF FAME

Biggio was the first to be inducted followed by Smoltz, Johnson and Martinez.

MLB-TRADE

Cueto heads to KC

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —The Kansas City Royals have acquired right-hander Johnny Cueto in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds. He joins a team that has the best record in the American League and helps bolster a rotation that lost Jason Vargas to a season-ending elbow injury last week. In return the Reds received left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed. Finnegan was Kansas City's first-round pick in last year's draft.

Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, was one of the top starters on the market. He pitched eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati's 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday. Cueto won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.

Friday is the nonwaiver trade deadline.

— Zack Greinke's shutout streak ended at 45 2-3 innings when the Mets scored in the third inning in a 3-2 over the Dodgers in 10 innings.

NFL-COLTS

Veteran offensive tackle released

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have released starting right tackle Gosder Cherilus. The move comes less than a week before players report to training camp. Cherilus had been a staple of the offensive line the past two seasons. He started 29 games, including two playoff games, in 2013. But the 31-year-old Haitian struggled with injuries last season and was put on season-ending injured reserve in December. He had offseason knee surgery.

NFL-VIKINGS

Walsh signs with Vikes

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have signed kicker Blair Walsh to a contract extension on their first day of training camp. Walsh was a sixth-round draft pick in 2012 out of Georgia entering the final year of his rookie contract. He set an NFL record by making 12 consecutive field goals from 50-plus yards to start his career, 10 of which came in his first season. Since then, Walsh's productivity has fallen off, with a 74.3 percent field goal rate in 2014. He made 92.1 percent in 2012 and 86.7 percent in 2013.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Marathon race ends

PARIS (AP) — Because of rain and slippery roads, Tour de France organizers stopped the race clock during the final stage of the event, meaning Chris Froome was guaranteed his second victory just so long as he crossed the finish line. He did, wearing the yellow jersey and riding a canary yellow bike. He has now won the top event in cycling in two of the last three years.

Earlier in the day, a car struck a taxi and crashed through a barricade set up near the Tour de France finish line. The car was eventually found and police are looking for four occupants. Police found the car with bullet impacts not far from the Place de la Concorde where police opened fire, according to a police official and a ranking official close to the investigation.
