Rodon was 10-3 as a sophomore with a 2.99 ERA and an eye-popping 184 strikeouts in 132.1 innings pitched with three complete games.

Fleetwood signed for a nine-under-par 63 in round two of last year’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

So, recently demoted Eagles passer Carson Wentz can take solace in the noise teammates have raised in response to Jalen Hurts taking his job. Veterans have questioned coach Doug Peterson’s decision to replace Wentz in the second half of a loss to the Packers and subsequently name Hurts the first-choice signal-caller moving forward. They have offered enduring love for their Raleigh-born brother. Fletcher Cox, a team captain, liked a tweet on Tuesday to show he wants Wentz to start....

As a counterpart to the PlayStation 4-exclusive Castlevania Requiem, this collection includes the SNES title Castlevania: Dracula X. This is notably not a GBA game, but appears to have been included in this collection to ensure all of Castlevania’s major 2D games have been re-released.

But close isn’t much consolation after a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals on Thursday night extended their skid to five games. And neither was the point the Avalanche salvaged because the defeats keep piling up as their season snowballs out of control. “It’s a big point,” captain Gabriel Landeskog said. “But at this point, we’re looking for wins, not points.” Colorado has lost 10 of 12 and is the NHL’s worst team since Dec....
