Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is taking full responsibility for the collision that led to a dislocated shoulder for his teammate, wide receiver Xavier Worthy, during the team's season-opening loss to the Chargers.

Kyle Schwarber made Phillies history on Tuesday night, becoming just the second player in franchise history to hit 50 home runs in a single season. The slugger launched a three-run shot in a 9-3 win over the New York Mets, ending a 10-game homerless drought. The 50th "Schwarbomb" puts him in an elite class with Ryan Howard, who holds the franchise record of 58 homers in 2006. With the win, the Phillies extended their NL East lead to a commanding nine games.
