And, the Cardinals continued the carnage with three more runs to advance with a 13-1 win. In the nightcap, the Washington Nationals got a Grand Slam from Howie Kendrick in the 10th inning to power past the Dodgers 7-3.

Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Calhoun has been accused of sexual discrimination by a former associate athletic director at the University of Saint Joseph, the Division III school where Calhoun now works.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did more than help up a photographer that he accidentally knocked down on the sideline during Sunday’s 26-23 overtime win over the Pittsburg Steelers.

Watt, which occurred seconds before Jackson ran into her. She was impressed by Jackson’s act of kindness. Great man,” Lipton posted on Twitter. “I hope his mom was watching.”
