In fact, it had been more than a century since there was another one like it in the majors. “It was an all-around heads-up play by Profar,” Texas manager Jeff Banister said. “Very slow heartbeat in that moment.” Profar started the defensive gem at third base and later homered to help the Rangers rally from an early five-run deficit for an 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Texas pulled off the sixth triple play in franchise history in the fourth inning....

And for Representative Henry Cuellar, her opponent, that’s not a good thing.

Project Resistance is being developed using Capcom’s RE Engine, which surprisingly isn’t named after the Resident Evil series, the same engine used for the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5, two recent Capcom games that were praised for their visuals. Despite featuring a single-player mode, the playable Project Resistance demo was purely a showcase for the multiplayer where we were able to play a full match as one of the Survivors that was trapped in what looked like a section of the Raccoon City Police Department, although not any of the sections found in Resident Evil 2 Remake....

The 2022 offseason has produced a fair share of drama, too. Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady retired. Brady then un-retired. Aaron Rodgers stayed in Green Bay, which was a mild surprise given last year’s drama-filled offseason. Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan were all traded. Free agency and the 2022 NFL Draft will dictate a few more switches. Who landed where? Sporting News sizes up the quarterback situation for all 32 teams heading into 2022:...

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel also harshly criticized the legal team of the double-amputee athlete, saying it floated more than one theory about what happened on the night that Pistorius shot Steenkamp through a closed toilet door in his home. Defense lawyers, Nel said, had argued that Pistorius acted in self-defense, fearing an intruder was in the house, but also raised the possibility that he was not criminally responsible, accidentally shooting Steenkamp because he was “startled....

In a Twitter thread, Vesna wrote that Putin’s decree would mean “thousands of Russian men—our fathers, brothers and husbands—will be thrown into the war grinder....

With Justin Rose having set the early tone by carding a blemish-free 64 to get to four under, the later starters also began to profit from favourable conditions. Woods reached the turn in 33 and then a glorious approach to the 10th left him with a tap-in birdie before a third straight gain at 11 meant he was five under. Meanwhile, Spieth eagled the first hole to signal his intent, his drive at the par four having rolled to within 10 feet of the cup before another birdie at the fourth left him six under and tied with overnight leaders Zach Johnson and Kevin Kisner, along with Kevin Chappell – who birdied his first three....
