US completes Davis Cup sweep of Switzerland

Switzerland was without the country’s two top players, 18-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and three-time major champ Stan Wawrinka.

In other Davis Cup round-of-16 action, Pablo Carreno Busta beat Nikola Mektic 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-4 as visiting Spain — without Australian Open runner-up Rafael Nadal — edged depleted Croatia to reach the quarterfinals with a 3-2 victory.

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Andrew McCutchen is moving from center field to right field this season.

McCutchen, a five-time All-Star and the 2013 National League MVP, won a Gold Glove in center in 2012 but has endured a dip in his defensive performance, according to advanced metrics.

Rene Reyes hit a two-run homer to cap a three-run rally with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and Venezuela beat the Dominican Republic 4-3 to make the semifinals of the Caribbean Series in Mexico City.
