Tottenham host top-flight high-flyers Aston Villa in an all- Premier League FA Cup Third Round clash on Saturday. Spurs will be hoping to bounce back from a 95th-minute 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth on Wednesday evening - a result that leaves them three games without a victory. Thomas Frank's team are languishing in the bottom half of the table and the FA Cup could present a welcome distraction from their disappointing league showing so far this term.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a four-hitter for his second consecutive complete game, the first in the World Series since 2015, and the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Saturday night to tie their best-of-seven matchup at one game apiece. Coming off a three-hitter against Milwaukee in the National League Championship Series the first postseason complete game in eight years Yamamoto retired his final 20 batters. The previous pitcher to go the distance in the Fall Classic was Kansas City's Johnny Cueto against the New York Mets in Game 2 a decade ago.
