Tuesday night’s game between the Red Sox and Braves got off to a fairly positive start for Boston after taking a 2–1 lead in the first inning. Then, the bottom of the third happened.
That frame also had an auspicious beginning after the first two batters of the inning—Masataka Yoshida and Adam Duvall—both reached base. Triston Casas drove a ball to shallow center field that looked like it could have fallen for a hit but instead was caught by Michael Harris II. Then, some of the worst base running in recent memory turned a routine fly out into an inning-ending triple play.
Dallas is stocked with talent, but with plenty of core players getting older and more expensive, the clock is ticking on a championship window for Jerry Jones and Co.
At the worst possible time during Tuesday’s game between the Angels and Tigers, Angels center fielder Mickey Moniak committed an unsightly fielding error baseball fans often do not see at the Major League level.
The head-scratching blunder, which nearly cost his team the game, came with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with Los Angeles clinging to a 6–4 lead in Detroit.
Facing Angels reliever Carlos Estevez, Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson hit a deep fly ball to the warning track just in front of the 412’ mark.
Over the last few weeks, James Harden has made it clear that he has no desire to play for the 76ers next season, despite team president Daryl Morey believing that he can keep the 10-time All-Star in Philadelphia.
In June, Harden opted into his $35.6 million player option for next season, signaling that he wanted to part ways from the franchise and end his tenure of playing with reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid.
As the hazing scandal at Northwestern expands beyond the school’s football program, the school’s athletic director has come under fire for a book he wrote in 2015 which described women as “man’s greatest distraction.”

Commanders fans were thrilled when NFL owners voted unanimously to approve the sale of the franchise to Josh Harris Group last Thursday after 24 years of ownership under Dan and Tanya Snyder.
But in addition to fans, Washington coach Ron Rivera included himself among those who were happy to see the franchise’s change in ownership on Tuesday, saying that he can put all of his time and energy back into daily grind of the team instead of feeling like the team’s “manager”.
“It’s exciting,” Rivera said about the franchise’s new ownership, per Nick Jhabvala of The Washington Post.
Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has been charged for insider trading.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, announced the charges Tuesday.
Williams described it as a “brazen insider trading scheme.” They alleged that “for years,” Lewis would use his “access to corporate board rooms” to provide “inside information” to a lengthy list of individuals.
According to Williams, the allegations include passing tips to friends, romantic interests, private pilots and personal assistants.

We’ve safely returned to the familiar game of quarterback contract leapfrog, where each deal just slightly surpasses the one before it, with just a little bit of room inside the minutiae of each for agents to squabble over the superiority of their injury guarantees.
Our detours into what is truly possible from a monetary standpoint, provided by Patrick Mahomes (a massive jump in both length and average annual value) Kirk Cousins (year-by-year fully guaranteed contracts) and Deshaun Watson (a desperate, fully guaranteed super deal) were entertaining to say the least.
