ASU was called for a whopping 16 penalties for 121 yards in its 27-17 loss to BYU last weekend. It was a surprising lack of discipline for the Sun Devils, who have a veteran team.

Arizona has fared terribly during its nonconference slate, falling to BYU, San Diego State and Northern Arizona.

Arizona, which began the day tied with Baltimore for the major leagues’ worst record at 48-104, announced before the game that Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was given a one-year contract extension through 2022.

Arizona had lost 14 of 17 entering Thursday and was tied with Baltimore.

The Diamondbacks (48-104) are tied with the Baltimore Orioles for the worst record in the majors.

Luke Weaver (3-6) took the loss, giving up five runs — three earned — over 6 2/3 innings. All of the runs scored on three home runs.

The Diamondbacks continued a miserable season that is among the worst in franchise history. The team’s single-season record for losses is 111 set in 2004. Arizona must win at least four of its final 12 games to avoid tying or breaking that mark.

Third-year quarterback Kyler Murray had more jaw-dropping moments with 400 yards passing and three touchdowns, rookie receiver Rondale Moore looked like a potential star with seven catches for 114 yards and a touchdown, and the defense recovered from a slow start to slow the Vikings considerably in the second half.

Kyler Murray is the first player with at least three touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown in the first two games of the NFL season, according to NFL research.

The Arizona Cardinals narrowly defeat the Minnesota Vikings 34-33.

The Houston Astros defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on Sunday.

Its roster full of players FBS programs didn’t want, Northern Arizona pulled off a program-defining victory while extending Arizona’s school-record losing streak to 15 games with a 21-19 victory.

Jaren Hall threw for 214 yards and two touchdowns and added 38 yards on seven carries, leading No. 23 BYU to a 27-17 victory over No. 19 Arizona State.

Madison Bumgarner retired the first nine batters he faced and 15 of the first 16 before Jose Siri walked with one out in the sixth. After Jason Castro grounded out, José Altuve sent a 0-2 fastball to left for his 28th home run.
