MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN The left-hander has been sidelined since spring training with a shoulder injury and has spent time in Double-A Tulsa to rehab the issue. He threw 81 pitches in six innings Tuesday night for the Drillers, striking out six but allowing a pair of home runs. “It was a little better than my last rehab start, so that was good,” Kershaw told reporters of his outing Tuesday, via ESPN....

The Wongs were more than ready last month when the cameras started rolling and three burly crew members dragged cartons of jumbled belongings out of the master bedroom and the home office. The show’s home organizer helped the couple pare down their belongings while the interior designer came up with chic storage solutions for the stuff they kept. A decorative-spoon collection made the cut, but Heeman’s 10-year-old pay stubs got tossed....

A week later I see what Ahmed can only hope Baghdad will become. As my Vietnam Airlines flight touches down at Tan Son Nhat airport in Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, the detritus of war is still visible—military hangars and mortarproof retaining walls left over from the time when thousands of American C-130s and F-5s thundered into the city. But 30 years after it ended, war has become a tourist attraction in Vietnam....

The Tigers also have a chance to extend the nation’s longest win streak to 30 games. It’s a remarkable run led by coach Dabo Swinney and sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence – who is 25-0 as a starter with the Tigers. Here is a look at the dominance behind that winning streak and the exclusive company Clemson could join if its wins Monday.

Yahoo Sports on Thursday reported that Clemson will extend Brent Venables’ contract, paying him $11.6 million over the course of five years — the largest contract in history for a non-head coach. He will make $2 million annually in salary and $200,000 in retention bonuses through the first two years of the contract. He will be paid $400,000 in retention bonuses over its remainder.

Jenkins has three sacks this season but is making a statement through his music and his Atlanta roots are displayed through this video. It’s one of the better athlete music videos out there.

The Mid-American Conference (MAC) issued a statement Tuesday afternoon that said it will go on with its conference tournament games this week at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, but that only “credentialed institutional personnel, student-athlete family members, credentialed media, television and radio crews, and official team party members will be permitted for attendance for the tournaments.” The MAC men’s and women’s tournaments will be closed to the general public. MAC officials came to their conclusion after discussing the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) with local government and health officials, with worries that the virus could spread in large gatherings....

Speculation spread that the team would be relocating but those rumors ended with the Indians, soon to be known as the Guardians, agreed Thursday to a 15-year lease extension at Progressive Field, keeping the team at their downtown ballpark through 2036 or longer. “We know the reality of the business and the reality is that Cleveland is a small market. Our goal is to make sure that a world-class city like Cleveland continues to have professional sports, professional baseball....

Now all that murky mystique is about to evaporate–if the art world’s new online databases live up to their hype. Artifact, ArtQuest in Britain, ArtNet and Thesaurus, Inc. are putting everything the Naifs wanted to know but were afraid to ask right out there in cyberspace. On ArtNet, collectors, critics and curators can search through thousands of art works categorized by artist, price, size, medium, color, subject matter, date, dealer or NEWSWEEK’S opinion (OK, not yet for that last one) before they buy....

Nothing makes me think Schumpeter was right like the contemporary climate movement and its acolytes. The Green movement is not a reflection of planetary crisis as so many in media and culture like to depict it, but rather, a crisis of meaning for the affluent. Take for example a recent interview with Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Ehrlich is most famous for his career as a professional doom monger....

Greenpeace said in a press release that 22 activists were participating in the blockade on the bridge and that they intended to continue for 24 hours. The debate will take place at Houston’s Texas Southern University on Thursday night. The protest targets a route that is widely used by fossil fuel companies. Over 35 percent of United States crude oil exports came through the Houston Shipping Channel region in 2018, according to the Houston Chronicle, which cited a report from global financial services firm Morningstar....

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office received a call at around 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday from a group of four climbers who discovered the victim. The sheriff’s office said the group had been climbing on the Rincon wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park when they found him. The climbers reported that the man wasn’t conscious or breathing and “appeared to be deceased.” Fire and mountain rescue officials arrived on the scene and determined that the 31-year-old man from Lakewood, Colorado, was dead....

Interior plant walls first sprouted about three years ago. Firms that specialized in environmentally friendly plant-covered roofs discovered that plants could grow on ever-steeper inclines. Two key players, Green Living Technologies of Rochester, N.Y., and Elevated Landscape Technologies of Brantford, Ontario, have since installed hundreds of green walls. The trade group Green Roofs for Healthy Cities offers a training class for builders and designers who want to work with vertical plant installations....

Running in the draft during the hour-long session, Bowyer led all drivers with a lap of 200.385 mph, followed by Almirola (200.268) and McMurray (200.117).

The Seattle Sounders star pushed his tally to 47 international goals with the treble at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Dempsey, who opened the scoring before adding two goals in the second half, is now within 10 of USA’s all-time leading goal scorer Landon Donovan.

That said, today brings news of two other reasons why Clinton should probably abandon the June rallying cry ASAP: It’s historically inaccurate. True, this isn’t news. When Clinton slipped on Friday, various outlets had long reported that in 1968 there were fewer primaries (13) than there are today and that RFK, after announcing his bid in March, didn’t actually compete until May, meaning that his campaign was only about nine weeks long–or roughly 13 months shorter than Clinton’s current bid....

What happened to the softer Hillary we saw in New Hampshire? I thought maybe if I closed my eyes and imagined Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney standing at the podium in Obama’s place, I’d feel better about the “Rollerball” politics the Clintons play. “Let me finish,” Obama interjected, vainly trying to quiet Hillary, who he said had gone on for two minutes. That’s my signature line when I struggle to get a word in edgewise on “The McLaughlin Group,” which is perhaps why I found the combat so unsettling....

“Look, if I had ever done anything wrong, he would have gone after me,” Clinton told The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast while promoting her new Hulu documentary. “You know, I’ve never done anything wrong. I’m, you know, as some people like to say, the most investigated, exonerated person in recent history.” Clinton went on to say that, deep down, Trump fears his 2016 win is illegitimate because Russia helped him and he would have gone after her if he thought it would impose a personal cost on her....

From afar, the deal has been a success. The Clippers are 43-20, and they will almost certainly be a top-four seed in the Western Conference. But George’s inconsistent play has quietly been a cause for concern — he entered Sunday having scored 15 or fewer points in four of his past seven appearances. He has 11 such outings this year; he had four last year. That made his scoring outburst in a losing effort against the Lakers on Sunday afternoon reassuring....
