BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz wont be suspended for destroying two dugout phones with his bat during this weekends series in Baltimore. Major League Baseball spokesman Michael Teevan said the incident remains under review but that a suspension has been ruled out. Unhappy with two called strikes by home plate umpire Tim Timmons in Saturdays game against the Orioles, Ortiz returned to the dugout after being ejected and destroyed the covers of two phones with his bat before charging onto the field. Ortiz also threw an elbow pad in Timmons direction before teammate Dustin Pedroia finally got Ortiz under control. On Sunday, Ortiz went 4-for-4 in a victory that put Boston one-half game ahead of Tampa Bay in the AL East. The Red Sox played the Rays on Monday night in the makeup of Thursdays rainout.Laken Tomlinson Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The Florida-LSU game should end sometime during the first half of Tennessees game with Missouri (3-7, 1-5).Nothings going to happen unless we beat Missouri, so thats our primary focus, Tennessee defensive end Corey Vereen said.Tennessee coach Butch Jones was asked this week if he might consider making sure that the LSU-Florida result wasnt announced at Neyland Stadium just to make sure his players didnt get caught thinking about their division title hopes.It may sound like coach-speak, but I havent even thought about that, Jones said. When you put Missouri on video, youre facing a very, very talented football team thats going to take all of our effort and all of our energies.Tennessee enters this game as a 15-point favorite but knows not to overlook anyone. The Vols already lost as a two-touchdown favorite earlier this season when they fell 24-21 at South Carolina .Since joining the SEC in 2012, Missouri has won in each of its two previous trips to Knoxville. The Tigers won 51-48 in four overtimes in 2012 and 29-21 in 2014.The Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak last week by beating Vanderbilt 26-17 .

Sutton is Tennessees career leader in passes defended.INJURY ISSUES: Jones says Tennessee safety Todd Kelly Jr. -- the Vols leading tackler -- is doubtful due to an ankle injury.
