Silva was a New York City native who dropped out of school as a teenager, in the 1940s, and was accepted the following decade into the Actors Studio, where fellow students included Shelley Winters and Ben Gazzarra. He went on to have a long and busy career in film and television, with hundreds of credits before retiring from acting in 2001.

Adam Ounas volleyed in the winner as Lille beat Toulouse 2-1 to move up to sixth place in the French league. The former Napoli midfielder’s first goal for Lille came in the 53rd minute from Benjamin Andre's clever lofted pass. Five minutes earlier an error from Lille’s 16-year-old central defender Leny Yoro led to Toulouse’s equalizer from forward Fares Chaibi. In the other game Montpellier midfielder Teji Savanier scored an injury-time penalty in a 2-1 home win against Strasbourg.

Charlie Blackmon hit a tiebreaking triple and scored in a two-run ninth, and the Colorado Rockies earned a rare road win, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. Blackmon drove in pinch runner Garrett Hampson with a triple to the right-field corner against Adbert Alzolay (0-1) after C.J. Cron walked with one out. He then scored on a single by Elias Díaz, making it 3-1, and the Rockies came away with the win despite a dominant outing by Cubs rookie Hayden Wesneski in his first major league start. Jose threw six solid innings, and the Rockies won for just the fifth time time in their past 18 road games.

St. LOUIS — The Dakota Hudson who emerged Saturday from a brief reboot in the minors, where he could hear the tick-tock of a clock to accelerate his pace, is exactly the Dakota Hudson who the Cardinals could find a role for in October.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Well, Georgia’s Stetson Bennett got his Heisman Trophy moment.

Yadier Molina hit a two-run drive while Albert Pujols went hitless in his quest for 700 homers, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 in the first game of a doubleheader. Pujols started at first base and hit second for the first time this season. He went 0 for 3 with two walks in his first two plate appearances. The sold-out crowd of 46,678 loudly booed both walks. The 42-year-old Pujols hit career homer No. 698 during Friday night’s 6-5 victory over Cincinnati. He is hitting .317 with 15 homers and 35 RBIs in 48 games since July 10.

Nick Howard ran for a pair of touchdowns, Zack Bair had a career day on the ground and Dartmouth opened its season with a 35-13 victory over Valparaiso. The two-time defending Ivy League champions were a preseason pick with Harvard as co-favorites for this season. Dartmouth has won 12 straight season openers — the longest active streak in the FCS — and 20 nonconference games in a row. Howard only had 85 yards passing as the Big Green stayed on the ground, rushing for 308 yards, led by Bair’s 169 on 16 carries, including a score.
