MLB is expected to investigate David Fletcher for gambling on sports, AP source says

Major League Baseball is expected to investigate former Angels player David Fletcher for gambling on sports with a bookmaker who also took bets from Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because they weren't at liberty to discuss such impending matters. ESPN reported Friday night that Fletcher placed bets with Mathew Bowyer, an alleged illegal bookmaker in Southern California. Federal prosecutors say Ippei Mizuhara stole nearly $17 million from Ohtani to pay off sports gambling debts during a yearslong scheme, at times impersonating the Dodgers superstar to bankers. Fletcher currently is with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate.

Ryan Gauld scored on a penalty kick in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time, and the Vancouver Whitecaps salvaged a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders. Gauld's tying goal came following a lengthy video review where referee Victor Rivas and video official Pierre-Luc Lauziere determined Seattle defender Nouhou committed a handball inside the penalty area in the 90th minute. Gauld sent Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei the wrong direction with his left-footed shot for his fourth goal of the season. Gauld also scored against the Sounders in a 2-0 win last month. Seattle's Jordan Morris scored his second of the year in the opening minutes of the match but the Sounders will feel it was a harsh penalty decision that cost them the chance at three points.
