BLACKWELL: > The Los Angeles Angels pitcher who was found dead in his hotel room earlier this summer died of an overdose. That's according to officials.</s>PAUL: CNN sports correspondent Carolyn Manno is live from New York this morning with the latest. What are we hearing about this? Carolyn, good morning.</s>CAROLYN MANNO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Christi and Victor, the Skaggs family is blaming at least partly the Angel's organization here. Tyler Skaggs found dead at a Hilton Hotel in Southlake, Texas, back on July 1st. His medical examiner now saying that the 27-year-old died choking on his own vomit with alcohol and opioids in his system. His death has been ruled an accident. The Skaggs family is looking for answers as to who could have been involved in supplying the drugs. They did release a statement which says that it is completely out of character for someone who works so hard to become a Major League baseball player and had a very promising future in the game he loved so much to behave this way. They said, "We were shocked to learn that it may involve an employee of the Los Angeles Angels." The family has hired an attorney. The Angels tell CNN they are cooperating fully with the investigation. In the meantime, moving to the U.S. Open if we can, Serena Williams in pursuit of a record 24th grand slam title. She impressed in the third round of the tournament against Karolina Muchova on Friday afternoon. Williams starting the match down 3-2 before finding her form. She rattled off seven straight games against Muchova, winning in straight sets. Serena is on to the round of 16 at the U.S. Open for the 18th consecutive time. She will face Petra Martic tomorrow. It is the 15- year-old, Coco Gauff who is generating the most buzz at Fleshing Meadows. I can tell you it was standing room only for Gauff's doubles match win yesterday. Tennis fans loco for Coco, doing whatever they could just to get a glimpse of her in doubles. Tonight Coco faces her toughest competition yet in singles, reigning champion, Naomi Osaka just 21 years old herself. The eyes of the tennis world will be on this match, even Serena's.</s>SERENA WILLIAMS, 23-TIME GRAND SLAM WINNER: I think it's super exciting tennis. Coco obviously is much, much younger than Naomi if you could say that because Naomi is incredibly young but it's shocking to say that Coco is about six years younger so I definitely think it's the future of women's tennis and I - I'm really excited to just be a fan girl and kind of watch.</s>MANNO: If you add Coco's and Naomi's ages together, they would still be younger than Serena. A testament to all of them for sure. In the meantime, college football back in full throttle this weekend and that means upsets and wild finished. Football fans got both in Reno. Check this out.
