Off the field, the Oakland Athletics are a mess, pushing through a relocation to Las Vegas unwanted by nearly all except boss John Fisher and MLB’s other 29 owners.
On the field, to the shock of the baseball world, the Athletics are doing just fine.
On Saturday, Oakland raised eyebrows on a crowded sports day by destroying the Miami Marlins 20–4 at the Oakland Coliseum—a win that moved the team to .500 on the season.
Before 7,809 fans, the Athletics jumped on the Marlins with 10 runs in the third inning to take a 12–0 lead.

Anthony Edwards stole the show in the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ 106–99 win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
Edwards went off for 43 points on 17-of-29 shooting and tallied seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks against the Nuggets. It marked his third career 40-point playoff game, the most in Timberwolves franchise history.
In the process, Edwards joined some elite company.
Edwards became the second player in NBA history to notch consecutive 40-point playoff games at age 22 or younger. The other player? Kobe Bryant.

Lionel Messi grabbed five assists and Luis Suarez bagged a hat trick to propel Inter Miami to a dominant 6-2 triumph over New York Red Bulls at Chase Stadium.
Miami were eager to get things started to avenge their 4-0 defeat back in March at Red Bull Arena when New York ran rampant as Drake Callender and Lionel Messi were unavailable for selection.
After a rather dull 28 minutes to start the contest, the visiting Red Bulls struck first in transition. Emil Forsberg sliced the Miami defense in half with an exquisite outside-of-the-foot pass into Wikelman Carmona’s path.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is an emotional player. The NBA playoffs by their very nature are an emotional event.
You can guess where this story is going.
On Saturday, Edwards powered his way to the hoop to put the Timberwolves up 73–68 on the Denver Nuggets with 1:15 left in the third quarter of Game 1 of the teams’ Western Conference semifinal series. Enthused, Edwards turned around to talk trash—and was immediately hit with a technical foul.

Anthony Edwards’ coming out party continued in emphatic fashion Saturday as he poured in 43 points to deliver a message from Minnesota to Denver (and beyond).

It’s May the 4th today, which means one thing for many movie fans: Star Wars Day. “May the force (May the 4th) be with you,” of course, aligning with the day of the year.
And apparently, Baltimore Orioles star Gunnar Henderson is one of those who enjoys celebrating the film industry’s biggest movie franchise.
Henderson debuted an amazing themed bat from his sponsor company, Chandler Bats. Complete with a lightsaber style handle, red saber design down one side of the barrel, and Darth Vader theming.
