Although the Los Angeles Angels couldn’t do enough against the Twins’ own rookie pitching star to get a win for Ohtani, they made sure to end their series with a celebration anyway. After Ohtani racked up 11 strikeouts while yielding only three singles, Zack Cozart delivered a walk-off RBI single in the Angels’ 2-1 victory Sunday. Ohtani again dazzled his home fans while throwing a season-high 103 pitches in his sixth start for the Angels....

Most of the protests that have occurred in Durham over the last several months have been peaceful, but the crowd that came into town on Wednesday night was different, Mayor Steve Schewel said during a news conference with Durham Chief of Police Cerelyn Davis. “I fully support the important righteous protests in support of racial justice that have followed the murder of George Floyd and the tragic death of Breonna Taylor....

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Andy Murray is yet to reach his maximum potential and should only get better but the world number one has not seen the back of Novak Djokovic, according to eight-times grand slam champion Andre Agassi. Djokovic, a six-times champion at Melbourne Park, was bundled out of the second round by Uzbek wildcard Denis Istomin on Thursday, leaving top seed Murray a raging favourite to win a first Australian Open title after five trips to the final....

From the get-go, the WCMX athlete made it clear his stunt wasn’t for the faint-hearted. Of the seven contestants who auditioned in episode one, two earned golden buzzers. Born with Spina Bifida, Aaron “WHEELZ” Fotheringham was one of them. It takes a special kind of courage to step out in a world that constantly judges, but WHEELZ put all that behind him when he decided to pursue what he loved and be the best wheelchair athlete there is....

It was an unconventional treble for the striker, using his head, right foot — and left arm. Having scored after 24 seconds in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at Newcastle, Aguero had to wait a little bit longer — 48 seconds — to put City in front against Arsenal. The Argentine dived to head Aymeric Laporte’s cross past goalkeeper Bernd Leno. After Laurent Koscielny leveled for Arsenal in the 11th, Aguero was on target again in the 44th after meeting Raheem Sterling’s delivery with a tap-in at the far post....

Voyager Labs is reportedly collecting social media information to create profiles that can be used to identify people who pose security risks. It’s part of a growing effort to use artificial intelligence (AI) to investigate potential criminals. But some experts say that the movement is rife with potential problems. “It’s very hard to predict human behavior,” Matthew Carr, a security researcher at Atumcell Group, told Lifewire in an email interview....

The decisions were made by 54 African soccer federations — more than one-quarter of the FIFA membership — at a special election meeting provoked by the resignation of a Ghanaian official who was implicated in taking cash bribes. The disgraced former FIFA Council member, Kwesi Nyantakyi, was replaced by Walter Nyamilandu, a former international player and longtime president of Malawi’s soccer federation. Nyamilandu won a 35-18 vote in a runoff against Danny Jordaan of South Africa, the head organizer of the 2010 World Cup, to fill Africa’s seventh and final seat on the 37-member FIFA strategic panel chaired by Infantino....

Well, with Uganda and DR Congo completing Group A at the event, it seems The Pharaohs have got the better end of the deal when it comes to group allocation and are expected to cruise through their group. Having a player like Mo Salah helps a lot, and only a slump at the back can derail their run at the continental extravaganza. In the lead up to the main event, they had lost a friendly against Nigeria 1-0 - always a strong contender for silverware - and won their latest one against minnows Tanzania by the same margin....

Ohtani homered twice during a huge night at the plate after getting bad news about his injured elbow, and the Los Angeles Angels cruised to a 9-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. Perhaps headed for Tommy John surgery, the two-way rookie sensation went 4 for 4 with three RBIs, four runs and a stolen base to power the Angels. About two hours before the game, the team announced Ohtani has new damage in his right elbow and ligament-replacement surgery has been recommended....

Many believe Chauvin, a former police officer, would never have been convicted if a mobile phone video showing him kneeling on Floyd’s neck had not come out. Meanwhile, the Minneapolis police made no reference to Floyd’s treatment when they first described the incident in a statement issued May 25. Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Sentencing is expected to occur in eight weeks....

And after losing 20-17 Sunday to a two-win Cardinals team, at Lambeau Field, in classically lousy weather, with no margin for error left in their playoff hopes, there was little logic left in dragging it out even one more week, much less four. MORE: Packers candidates to replace Mike McCarthy McCarthy likely didn’t know his fate when he spoke after the game, and obviously, neither did Aaron Rodgers. But they both spoke with such finality, with the postseason run sounding like such a pipe dream, that a swift end felt necessary....

Senate Republicans nixed several Democratic amendments to trial rules established by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Although Fox News hosts and commentators criticized the lack of new evidence as the trial took place, they rarely mentioned why Democrats were unable to present it. “[The Democratic argument] had nothing to do with actually proving the facts,” said former GOP congressman Jason Chaffetz on the Thursday morning edition of Fox and Friends....

“Fahrenheit 9/11” is that rare documentary that’s getting action-flick distribution, opening on 500 screens–and in case you miss it in the theater, the DVD should be out well before the election. Disney’s Miramax division, headed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, bankrolled the film, but Disney head Michael Eisner refused to release it, citing Disney’s tradition as a “nonpartisan company”–you know, the sort of nonpartisan company whose ABC Radio division gives a forum to Rush Limbaugh....
