No, seriously. There’s video evidence and everything. Kansas City’s lead-footed designated hitter had five career stolen bases in 1,166 career regular-season games. And he stole a base in the playoffs, in a game that could eliminate the Angels, the team with the best record in baseball, from the postseason. It happened shortly after Eric Hosmer’s home run gave the Royals a 5-1 lead in the third inning of Game 3 of the ALDS....
The Tigers remained a half-game ahead of Kansas City, which topped Boston 7-1. Avila sent a full-count pitch from reliever Bryan Shaw (5-4) into the right-field stands for his 11th home run. Victor Martinez hit his career-best 31st home run for Detroit. Joba Chamberlain (2-5) pitched an inning of scoreless relief. Joe Nathan worked the ninth for his 31st save. Detroit right fielder Torii Hunter saved two runs in the eighth with a two-out, diving catch of Yan Gomes’ short fly ball with runners on second and third....
“I tried for Game 4 but clearly it wasn’t good enough,” he said as captain Steven Stamkos called him a warrior. “Then it got worse after trying it. The boys did a good job that I didn’t have to play. I was hoping I didn’t have to use it but if it came down to it, I would probably play the next game or Game 7. But the boys didn’t let that happen....
Ovechkin is headed to the Czech Republic, where he will join Russia’s national hockey team. On Saturday, Russia faces Team USA in the semifinals of the world hockey championships.

The Russian winger captained the Capitals to their only Stanley Cup championship in franchise history and is also chasing Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goal-scoring record. The athlete tweeted the announcement by saying, “I’M BACK DC !!!!!” with a picture of him holding up his contract surrounded by family.

The 36-year-old quarterback on Sunday was activated off Washington’s PUP list and cleared to participate in football activities — the final step in a grueling 21-month recovery. The Washington Football Team posted the news — teased by Smith’s wife earlier on Instagram — in a celebratory tweet: MORE: Alex Smith documentary: 3 takeaways from ‘Project 11’ Check out how Smith’s family celebrated his ability to get back to football:...
The 33-year-old put to bed any doubts regarding his rivalry with Max Holloway when he dismantled the former 145-lb champ to claim a unanimous decision win at UFC 276. After the fight, and even before, Volkanovski said he wanted to go for double-champ status next. Charles Oliveira, on account of missing weight before he defeated Justin Gaethje at UFC 274, doesn’t currently hold the title at 155 pounds but is, for all intents and purposes, considered the champ....
In a Saturday afternoon tweet, Ocasio-Cortez announced that she had passed the $3 million mark in her fundraising efforts. She also praised the Houston Food Bank for putting the money raised towards delivering 30,000 meal boxes over the next two days. The Democrat explained that she’d also partnered with 11 more Texas organizations in her efforts, and encouraged people to keep giving. “Let’s keep going,” she wrote, before linking to a page where people can donate....
Sharing the photo, which appeared to have been taken at the Fancy Farm Picnic in Kentucky and was posted to Instagram with the caption “break me off a piece of that Fancy Farm,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at McConnell, writing: “These young men look like they work for you.” “Just wanted to clarify: Are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress [with] your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?...
Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents New York’s 14th congressional district, spoke to the U.K.’s Channel 4 News on Thursday, after the network aired undercover video of McCoy discussing lobbying efforts on behalf of the oil and gas giant. In recordings captured by Greenpeace U.K’s investigative platform, Unearthed, McCoy named several senators who were key to ExxonMobil’s lobbying operation, including Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). McCoy told the undercover Greenpeace reporters that he had lobbied the senators to remove or weaken climate change measures in President Joe Biden’s initial $2 trillion infrastructure proposal....
Details of the White House proposal broke this week, with the package expected to include about $650 billion to rebuild crumbling U.S. infrastructure. Additionally, the package would include about $300 billion to shore up manufacturing and another $300 billion for housing infrastructure, among other proposals. While the Biden administration is already defending the high price tag, especially coming after the passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan this month, Ocasio-Cortez believes the government should spend even more....
Rejoining the Paris agreement was one of Biden’s first acts as president and came amid a flurry of executive orders signed hours after his inauguration on Wednesday. Trump’s withdrawal from the 197-nation deal in 2017 was an early example of his preference for “America First” unilateralism and his lack of concern over the catastrophic damage that climate change could inflict on the world. The former president and his allies framed the deal as unfairly punitive on the U....
WATCH: Cavani’s excellent header It is almost certain that PSG will be deposed as Ligue 1 champions, with Monaco needing only to avoid two record-breaking defeats to claim the crown, and as a result, a significant summer spend is forecast at Parc des Princes. Among those linked to the club are Arsenal attacker Alexis and Borussia Dortmund forward Aubameyang, and Cavani, who has scored 49 goals this season, would love to see them arrive....
Sanchez’s switch from Arsenal to Old Trafford is one of the most significant moves of the January transfer window to date and was given the acclaim it deserved as the Red Devils put together a classy sequence for the Chile international’s arrival. To the strains of ‘Glory, Glory, Man United’ played on a solo piano, the former Barcelona attacker is seen in the middle of an empty Theatre of Dreams considering the exploits that he will achieve there....
The Chile international, who completed a transfer from Arsenal in a straight swap with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January, made his debut against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup last week, picking up an assist in the contest. While he enjoyed a fine debut, Sanchez failed to make an impact on his Premier League bow for United in a disappointing midweek 2-0 defeat to Tottenham. With the Red Devils in search of points in an ever-tightening top-four race, Sanchez received a golden opportunity to get his first United goal against the Terriers when he was brought down in the area by Michael Hefele to earn the spot-kick....
If someone learns that they have the amyloid plaques in their brain that are associated with Alzheimer’s, one of their first questions is often, “When will I start to have symptoms?” While it’s understandable that patients would want this information, neurologists usually are not able to give them much of an estimate. That’s why this new research could be such a game-changer. Predicting Alzheimer’s Symptoms A team of researchers led by Suzanne E....
Waters’s new book is her ninth cookbook, and, she says, it will be her last, her culinary legacy. In the chapter on salad you can see everything people both admire about her and find infuriating: the sheer sensuous zest she brings to every aspect of food (she even claims to love washing lettuce) and the daunting zeal with which she upholds her rigorous standards. She has elevated her principles of eating to moral imperatives—which, perhaps not coincidentally, are easier to observe if your definition of “local” is centered on Berkeley, Calif....
According to The Daily Beast, a spokesperson for the New York Times confirmed that Roman’s column is “on temporary leave,” but did not give a reason for the suspension or confirm how long it would last. In an interview with New Consumer published May 7, Roman criticized Teigen’s Instagram page, calling it a “content farm” and said she was “horrified” by that and her cookware line. Roman also said Kondo’s lifestyle range feels “greedy” and called the organizing guru a sell-out....
