The matchup will be televised on Fox. Alabama (1-0) beat Utah State 55-0 in Week 1, and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young had six total touchdowns in the victory.

Pujols said so to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, who didn't ask the question. "Can you imagine someone saying that to me?" Pujols told Nightengale. "I felt like saying, 'Come on, are you serious? Are you really asking me that? Check out my numbers. I know what Mike Trout has done in his first two years is pretty special, but will you look at my numbers? I've been doing this for almost 14 years....

Former Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt is next for Pujols on the list. Schmidt sits at 15th all time with 548 homers.

Video taken from the scene shows a group of people attempting to pull down the statue while chanting “tear it down” before several gunshots are fired.

To start Game 4 of the ALCS, Kansas City second baseman Omar Infante made an outstanding play on a grounder up the middle to rob Nick Markakis of a leadoff single.

The Royals, making their first playoff appearance since winning the World Series in 1985, have mowed through the playoffs with a 4-0 record that includes beating Jon Lester and Oakland in the wild-card game and sweeping the Angels, who were large -200 favorites, in the ALDS.

Jones was subpoenaed on Monday along with five other Donald Trump allies, including Roger Stone, as part of the inquiry into the storming of the Capitol. The committee accused Jones of helping to organize the protests which took place prior to the mob of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol as well as “implying he had knowledge” about the former president’s plans on January 6. In a statement posted on his InfoWars website, Jones described the committee of being a worse “witch hunt” than the campaign led by Republican senator Joseph McCarthy, who falsely claimed hundreds of Communists had infiltrated a number of areas within the U....

“If some think that we will close our borders with Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine and become a camp for people fleeing Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Tunisia they are mistaken,” Lukashenko said during a government meeting. Lukashenko added another mocking comment, saying: “We won’t hold anyone, they are coming not to us but to the enlightened, warm and cozy Europe.” Belarus’ refusal to cooperate with the EU on halting illegal migration is retaliation for the EU placing economic sanctions on Belarus for the arrest of a journalist in May after diverting his flight to Belarus....

Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat representing New York’s 14th congressional district, was attending a protest organized by Representative Cori Bush of Missouri’s 1st district when the video was captured.

“CBP is detaining American citizens,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet, sharing a story published by Dallas Morning News on the incident. “How would you feel trapped in a border camp, where guards wear face masks because the human odor is so strong? When we allow the rights of some to be violated, the rights of all are not far behind.” The New York politician’s words of warning came as the Trump administration announced that it would be vastly expanding the authority of immigration officers to deport migrants without giving them the chance to appear before a judge....
