DENVER (AP) — Nolan Arenado bounced back from a benching with three hits, including a home run, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1 on Saturday night.

Tyler Matzek pitched three-hit ball over seven innings. Drew Stubbs and Corey Dickerson also homered for the Rockies, who have won three straight.

Ike Davis denied Colorado its first shutout at Coors Field this season with a one-out homer in the ninth.

It was a bounce-back performance for Arenado, removed from Friday’s game when he didn’t hustle down the line on a grounder to the pitcher in the fourth inning.

Arenado met with manager Walt Weiss before Saturday’s game and said he agreed with the decision.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha North High School, Nebraska’s current football champion, is thinking about getting a stadium of its own.

Omaha North is the only high school in the Omaha Public Schools system that doesn’t have its own stadium for football, track and soccer.

For years, the North High marching band, football team and its fans have had to make the five-mile trek to play at Northwest High.

Omaha North Principal Gene Haynes says leaders at his school are looking to build a stadium with up to 6,000 seats, funded solely through private donations and fundraising.

Haynes says any construction is probably three to five years down the road and would cost between $8 million and $12 million.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is serious about what he has said about competition at the cornerback position.

Sean Smith, last year’s starter at right cornerback, moved to the second team for the last four days of organized team activities. His status hasn’t changed three days into training camp.

“We look at Sean as a first-team player,” Reid said. “We need all those guys and we need two-deep at the corner where we feel like that two-deep is equivalent to starting players. That’s where we’re looking.”

The Chiefs are in transition following a 2013 season where the defense ranked 25th against the pass (247.6 yards per game).

Another factor for changes may have been the memory of blowing a 38-10 third-quarter lead en route to a 45-44 playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

DETROIT (AP) — Ndamukong Suh is ready to start training camp — and he says any uncertainty about his contract shouldn’t be a distraction.

Veterans report to camp Sunday for the Detroit Lions. Suh is entering the final season of his contract, and as always, the spotlight will be on the two-time All-Pro when he takes the field this year. Suh says he doesn’t have a timetable for contract talks — and that his agent can handle that while he focuses on football.

The 27-year-old Suh went to Brazil with his father this offseason for the World Cup. Suh played soccer growing up, and the sport runs deep in his family.

Suh said he saw the U.S.-Portugal match, and he also went to see Cameroon play Brazil. Suh’s father was born in Cameroon.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel says he “made some rookie” mistakes during the offseason and vowed to be focused on just football in the future.

Speaking on the eve of Cleveland’s first training camp practice, Manziel briefly addressed his behavior during the offseason when photos of him partying around the country were a weekly occurrence. Manziel said he has spoken to Browns coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer and “we’ve been on the same page.” Manziel said he spoke them about a photo of him holding a rolled up $20 bill, but he provided no other details.

Manziel said he wants to represent the Browns in a “positive manner and a positive light.”

The former college star enters his first camp as Cleveland’s No. 2 quarterback behind Brian Hoyer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pinch-hitter Billy Butler’s two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning sent the Kansas City Royals over the Cleveland Indians 6-4 Friday night for their fourth straight win.

Butler connected against John Axford, sending a drive over the Royals’ bullpen in left field. Butler was hitting just .200 in his previous 20 games with two RBIs before pinch-hitting for Raul Ibanez.

Kelvin Herrera (2-2) pitched a scoreless eighth and Aaron Crow worked around a leadoff double in the ninth to earn his second save in four chances.

Royals closer Greg Holland, who had pitched in the three previous games, was unavailable.

Carlos Carrasco (3-4) gave up a single to Salvador Perez before Butler’s home run.

Perez, who had three hits, and Mike Moustakas had back-to-back home runs to open the second.

DENVER (AP) — Brett Anderson pitched effectively into the seventh inning for his first win in more than a year and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1 on Friday night.

Carlos Gonzalez homered and Josh Rutledge had two hits and drove in four runs for Colorado, which has won consecutive games for just the second time in the last six weeks.

Anderson (1-3) had not won since beating Houston on April 7, 2013, in his last start for Oakland. He spent four months on the disabled list and moved to the A’s bullpen when he returned.

He was winless in three April starts for Colorado before a broken left index finger put him on the shelf for 81 games. Friday was his third start since coming back and he allowed just two hits into the seventh inning before leaving with a 1-0 lead after issuing a one-out walk to Russell Martin.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A son of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno writes in a new book that his father said he hadn’t informed the coaching staff about allegations Jerry Sandusky might be a child molester because he wasn’t sure whether they were true.

Jay Paterno writes in “Paterno Legacy: Enduring Lessons from the Life and Death of My Father” that Joe Paterno said he didn’t want to accuse somebody of something he didn’t witness or know as fact. He says he had the conversation with his father the day after Joe Paterno was fired.

The book takes a defensive tone toward the famed coach, who lost his job shortly after Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011 and died of liver cancer three months later.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — With No. 2 jerseys ringing the field, Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel has begun his quest to win Cleveland’s starting job.

Manziel is taking part in his first NFL training camp practice on Saturday and thousands of fans have come out for an up-close look at the sensation nicknamed Johnny Football. Fans began lining up outside the Browns’ training complex at 5 a.m. to secure the closest possible spots near the practice fields.

Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner who was drafted in the first round by the Browns, walked onto the field at 9:22 a.m. as House of Pain’s “Jump Around” blared through loudspeakers.

On Friday, Manziel, who will battle Brian Hoyer to be the starter, acknowledged he made “some rookie mistakes” with an offseason filled with partying.

Kevin Love has withdrawn from this summer’s USA Basketball roster because of his uncertain NBA status, leaving the Americans without one of their most experienced international players.

Team USA announced the decision on Saturday. Love, who won gold medals at the 2012 Olympics and 2010 world championship and was one of the first players to commit to play this summer, told USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo that he would be unavailable for training camp that starts Monday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are considering trading Love and the Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to acquire the three-time All-Star to pair with LeBron James. A trade could fall apart if Love were to play and be injured.

Colangelo says that the U.S. “can only look to the players we have available.”
