Even in retirement, former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger can’t seem to stop reminding fans of his domination over Cleveland.
In Roethlisberger’s 18-year career, he went 26–3–1 against the AFC North-rival Browns. That marks the most wins against any opponent during Roethlisberger’s NFL tenure.
Now, that tradition of winning over Cleveland apparently has been handed down to the next generation in the Roethlisberger family.

The good news for Chelsea, and there wasn’t much at the Bernabéu on Wednesday night, is that it only lost 2–0. The Champions League quarterfinal is still, just about, alive, and it probably shouldn’t be. Real Madrid was so dominant, had so many chances, that it could have not only ended the tie but really embarrass Chelsea. Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti was showing pity to his former player, Frank Lampard, who has now lost 10 of his last 11 games as a manager.

Scary moment Wednesday in Minnesota where Twins shortstop Kyle Farmer took a fastball right in the face. Chicago White Sox hurler Lucas Giolito hit Farmer up high with a 92-mile-per-hour pitch.
Immediately, Giolito reacts by throwing his hand up to his head. Clearly, he did not intend to throw the pitch at Farmer. Instead, it looks like it probably slipped out of his hand.
Farmer hits the ground and immediately White Sox catcher Seby Zavala calls for help.
The video is below, but I wouldn’t blame you if you chose not to watch.

Absolutely terrifying moment.

A bat boy who went viral during the Yankees–Guardians series this week due to his long hair actually has a specific reason for keeping his locks.
Being a bat boy is just a part-time gig for Nate Rosenhaus, as he also plays the drums for his band, The Open Doors, hence his hairstyle.
Without knowing this, Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay criticized Rosenhaus on air for not following the team’s longstanding strict policy on long hair. However, Rosenhaus is employed by the Guardians but worked as a visitor’s clubhouse assistant for the Yankees.

The Minnesota Twins‘ 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox may have come at a costly price after two key starters went down with injuries.
With the Twins up 1-0 in the seventh inning, star outfielder Byron Buxton collided with White Sox infielder Lenyn Sosa as he attempted to reach second base on a slow infield grounder hit by Nick Gordon.
Sosa, trying to field the ball, ran directly into the path of Buxton. The violent collision sent Buxton flipping up and over Sosa—resulting with Buxton landing on his head.
