12 RENTON, Wash. (AP) — When general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll arrived to lead the Seattle Seahawks a dozen years ago, their overhaul of the roster started with finding a left tackle. They're hoping after an offseason of upheaval and more major roster changes that landing a new left tackle in Mississippi State's Charles Cross can help start another run of success. "It's a great place to start when you're trying to build an offensive line, always,” Carroll said. “That left tackle spot is crucial in all of that.” For just the second time in the Carroll era, the Seahawks had a top 10 selection Thursday night. And just like they did in 2010, the Seahawks used that top 10 pick on a left tackle. A dozen years ago, it was Russell Okung with the No. 6 pick. This time, it was Cross at No. 9, a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection last season after starting 12 games … [Read more...] about Seahawks draft LT Charles Cross at No. 9, filling need

8 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Ashby combined with four relievers on a one-hitter, Tyrone Taylor singled home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Wednesday night. Neither team got a hit until the sixth inning. Ashby’s no-hit bid ended when Bryan Reynolds hit a hard grounder that deflected off the glove of third baseman Mike Brosseau for a single. Making his second start of the season and sixth of his career, Ashby worked 5 2/3 innings, walking five and striking out six. The rookie left-hander allowed his only run on a double-play grounder in the sixth. Trevor Gott (1-0) came on and struck out Michael Chavis. Ashby said he never thought seriously about throwing a no-hitter. “I don’t really consider it until you get six innings, seven innings in and turn that lineup over twice,” he said. Ashby threw three no-hitters while playing at Crowder College but … [Read more...] about Ashby takes no-hitter into 6th, Brewers beat Pirates 3-1
