Texas’s retooled rotation is doing its job, but the Rangers sit in first in the AL West thanks in large part to the development of their young hitters.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes captured his second Super Bowl title this past season, quickly cementing himself among the great signal callers in NFL history.
This upcoming season will be Mahomes’s seventh as a professional, but with two Super Bowl rings already in tow, many fans of the game are wondering just how many he will rack up by the time it’s all said and done.
Mahomes turns just 28 years old in September, and should have plenty of elite football left in front of him. But that doesn’t mean he believes he’s among the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game just yet.
Police in Santiago, Dominican Republic, reportedly are searching for Cubs prospect Josefrailin Alcantara in connection with the shooting death of a 26-year-old man.
According to Nathaniel Perez Nero of Diario Libre, the incident occurred last Friday. The report indicates that the victim, Darwin Diaz Valero, owed Alcantara a sum roughly equivalent to $2,750 in U.S. dollars. Alcantara, 18, reportedly got into a dispute with Diaz inside a gray Hyundai Sonata, at which point he is alleged to have shot Valero twice.
Fresh off securing a berth in the NBA Finals for the first time, Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray is enjoying the finest stretch of his career. With that success comes added attention—and, in today’s opinion-driven sports media landscape, a chance to divulge his hottest sports takes.
The topic of the day: Who are the five best players in NBA history?
In his top five, Murray included two active players—including one he just dispatched in the Western Conference Finals—in LeBron James and Stephen Curry. His other three have 15 NBA titles between them.
After a disastrous night for the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, the Western Conference Finals team will be forced to play Thursday’s potential elimination game without their captain, Jamie Benn.
Benn has been suspended by the league for cross-checking Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone in an apparent fit of rage on Tuesday.
In a move that OutKick’s Matt Reigle called one of the most egregious penalties committed by a captain, Benn took a hockey stick to Stone’s face in the first period. Benn was promptly booted for the offense.
Phillies shortstop Trea Turner has endured a rough start to his first season in Philadelphia, to say the least.
Turner was honest with himself regarding his slump just this week, admitting that he’s “sucked” so far this season. Through 48 games, the shortstop has a .687 OPS, which is his lowest since his MLB debut in 2015.
Phillies fans began booing the two-time All-Star during his plate appearances, and that apparently includes one of the people closest to Turner: his mom.
Lamar Jackson finally signed his long-term contract this offseason. He’s the Baltimore Ravens quarterback for at least the next five years. It makes sense that the team is going to try to protect their investment.
Jackson said on Wednesday that in new offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s offense, the plan is for him to run less and throw more. Sounds great. Except Lamar Jackson is an elite runner.
He is not an elite passer.
That’s just a fact. People get angry when it’s said, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is one of the most renowned sports media members on the planet. The 55-year-old hosts his own podcast, Know Mercy, produces his own TV program, NBA in Stephen A’s World and is the face of the popular debate show First Take.
While his efforts have seen him become one of the most recognizable figures in sports, Smith admitted he’s chasing a loftier goal than merely becoming the top sports media talent.
A college baseball player in central Pennsylvania has died after a dugout at a youth baseball field collapsed on him.
According to TMZ, Angel Mercado-Ocasio, a freshman infielder for the Central Penn College Knights, died in the incident.
City of Harrisburg spokesman Matt Maisel said the 19-year-old was disassembling a dugout that had been illegally built at the field. However, while he was attempting to do this, part of the structure collapsed on top of him.
Mercado-Ocasio was rushed to the hospital following the incident.
Zac Gallen has emerged as an ace for the Diamondbacks, but a return to his hometown was a reminder that he still has plenty of room to improve.
