Pendleton won Maryland state championship in 2011-12

Henry Pendleton has been racing motocross bikes for the majority of his life, and considering that he is only 11 years old, that's saying something. The Annapolis resident will be at the Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., on Sunday competing in the 31st Annual Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship — the biggest and most well-known amateur motocross race in the world.

John Irving came to M&T Bank Stadium from his home in New Jersey Saturday to see his favorite soccer team, Tottenham Hotspur, play in person for the first time. But Irving, whose allegiance is derived from the fact his father grew up near the team's base in North London, felt as if he could have been in Liverpool.

Tottenham, Liverpool deal with heat, turf in scoreless tie

Maybe it was being unaccustomed to playing a preseason game in the sweltering summer heat. Or the fact that both teams were adjusting their tactics with new coaches. Or, perhaps, it was the reality that more than few soccer games end — in the sport's parlance — nil-nil.

Brian Roberts, who had been in Sarasota rehabbing a partial labral tear in his hip, is playing at short-season Single-A Aberdeen today and, if all goes well after two games, could return to the Orioles, manager Buck Showalter said. Orioles designated hitter Jim Thome was not in Saturday's lineup because he is dealing with neck spasms, Showalter said. The Orioles also learned that outfielder Steve Pearce, pictured, whom the club designated for assignment on July 21, was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros.

Right-hander is third in American League with 24 longballs allowed this season

Even when things have been going well for Orioles right-hander Tommy Hunter, left, he's had difficulty keeping the ball in the park. And when things spiral out of control for Hunter, it is often because of his tendency to give up home runs. That was the case again Saturday night when the Oakland Athletics used a pair of two-run blasts to beat Hunter and the Orioles, 6-1.

U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte captures gold medal in event

Michael Phelps, the Baltimore swimmer who has won more gold medals than any other Olympian, failed to medal Saturday in the 400-meter individual medley as U.S. rival Ryan Lochte (4:05.18) captured his first gold of the 2012 London Olympics. It's the first time Phelps has failed to medal in an Olympic final since 2000. "It's frustrating for sure. ... It's pretty upsetting and the biggest thing now is just to try to get past it and move forward," Phelps said. "I have a bunch of other races and hopefully we can finish a lot better than we started."

Record-setting swimmer adds 21st career medal, 17th gold, by beating South Africa's Chad le Clos, Russia's Evgeny Korotyshkin

Michael Phelps won the 100-meter butterfly Friday, his last individual race before he retires at the end of these Olympics. His only remaining race is the 400-meter medley relay Saturday. "I don't even want to complain about going slower or having a bad turn or finish," Phelps said. "I'm not even going to say any of that. I'm just happy that the last one was a win, that's all I really wanted coming into the night." Phelps' time of 51.21 seconds was .23 faster than Chad le Clos and Evgeny Korotyshkin.

Ray Lewis and Jameel McLain say they dropped weight to keep pace in a quicker league

The glare hasn't gone anywhere. Even in training camp practices, Ray Lewis' scowl, which has almost dared opposing teams to run his way for nearly two decades in the NFL, remains omnipresent. But the long-time face of the Ravens' vaunted defense has a different look this summer. A lean Lewis reported to training camp last week and acknowledged he is probably the lightest that he's been since he arrived in Baltimore as a rookie in 1996, burdened by questions about whether he was too small to hold up at middle linebacker.
