The strange scenario unfolded in the ninth inning of the Dodgers’ 18-5 victory over the Diamondbacks. LA backup catcher Russell Martin was on to finish the game, and one of the three men he faced (and retired) was Arizona backup catcher John Ryan Murphy, who had just pitched the seventh and eighth innings to give rest to a relief group that had thrown 12 1/3 innings over the previous two days, including eight in a 13-inning victory Friday....

Despite playing for an often bad Lions team, Johnson was consistently one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. In nine years, he had seven seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards, three of which saw him reach more than 1,400. Four times, he had at least 12 receiving touchdowns. All but his final seasons in the league saw him average 14-plus yards per catch, and that last year, he averaged 13....

“Due to Fr. Henkes’ selfless abandonment of his life for other people, even unto death, Pope Francis has recognized him as a martyr,” said Cardinal Kurt Koch, the Pope’s representative at the beatification ceremony, according to National Catholic Reporter. “Father Henkes stands out to us as a martyr of charity, who sacrificed his life for Christ and therefore holds a share of Christ’s cross.” Henkes was ordained in 1925 and gained a reputation in the 30s for his criticism of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich....

Bynum, who did not travel with the Cavaliers to Boston, missed out on about $111,000 when he missed one game check for conduct detrimental to the team. He has not been invited to participate in team activities, which includes the Cavaliers' Sunday home game against the Golden State Warriors. The Cavaliers center, who reportedly has had second thoughts about continuing his basketball career, was suspended after a Friday practice incident, which was one of several over the course of weeks....

The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced in a tweet Sunday night that it has offered Wilson an in-person hearing for the infraction, which earned him a 10-minute penalty during the game. That means the league is considering a suspension of six-plus games. Blues coach Mike Yeo said Sundqvist is “not good” and called the hit “predatory.” “I’d be surprised if he didn’t miss a decent amount of time,” Yeo said of Sundqvist....

India’s head-to-head record against the Netherlands is not a great one. India has won 33 and lost 48 matches of the 105 matches they have played so far. India’s record has been especially poor in the last three decades. However, Indian hockey is on a slight upward curve in the last four to five years. This is reflected in their record against the Netherlands since 2013. They have faced each other nine times during this period and each has won four times each....

The attacks began at around 11 a.m. Sunday and continued for several hours until Tobias Gutierrez, 42, was arrested, according to TV station KOB. He reportedly surrendered to approaching police officers without incident. The victims included someone who was eating inside a restaurant and a person who had just been involved in a car crash, KOB reported. All 11 people who were stabbed were hospitalized. The Albuquerque attacks follow incidents of violent crime reported in other cities across the country in 2022, and they have created a political issue for officials in places like New York as well as for the Biden administration....

But Watt’s question featured higher stakes in that, one, the snake was in his bathroom and, two, it was a baby rattlesnake. There is some debate as to whether a baby is more dangerous than an adult, but the fact remains: It was a scary situation for Watt, who hails from Wisconsin and has little experience in dealing with snakes.

Cardinals starter Lance Lynn is one of those five. “That’s pretty cool, to be able to play in one when you’re 12 and then be able to make it to the major leagues and play in one there,” he told Sporting News this weekend. “It’s definitely a cool feeling to know I played in both of those.” Lynn was part of the 1999 Little League World Series, on the U....

Matheny had some thoughts, of course. MORE: Rodon called up by White Sox | Ned Yost ejected | Mets lose Blevins, d’Arnaud “Yeah, and I think they probably have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder, too, because I don’t think they’re getting the credit maybe some of these other rotations are getting,” Matheny said. “That’s always good.” Let’s be honest. Athletes and managers are always on the lookout for a bit of extra motivation....

The creators of the game founded a company, also called Cards Against Humanity, which has been in the news lately for unfortunate reasons. Former employees opened up out about toxic office culture, including racist and sexist behavior, revealed in a report by Polygon. This often took the form of management not recognizing concerns or complaints from workers, and the lack of an HR department. Many complaints centered around former employee and co-founder Max Temkin, but extended beyond him to the company at large....

With the laps winding down, Edwards nursed his fuel mileage and watched surrounding top-10 drivers pit for gas. He thought he might be the one closest to the front who could push through to the end, but he was wrong and finished second.

New general manager Ron Francis, who took over for former Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford last week, also relieved assistants Dave Lewis and John MacLean of their duties.

Carrie is one of the most commonly banned books in US schools, so it’s fitting such a controversial director as De Palma would choose to adapt it. De Palma pulled out all the stops with Carrie, which was met with instant success upon its release in 1976. The first King book to be made into a movie, it is remarkable for being one of the few horror movies to receive two Academy Award nominations for acting (for Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, who played Carrie and Margaret White, respectively) and for being not only one of the best horror movies ever made but one of the best King adaptations too — and there are plenty of those....

Namor, who has one Atlantean parent and one land-dwelling parent, much like DC’s Aquaman, has often been thought of as someone of Asian/Pacific Islander descent by fans. Many fans hold out hope for an AAPI actor in the role. Until the rumor is confirmed as truth from Marvel themselves, that could still be the case. In addition to Namor and his cousin Namora, another Atlantean is also rumored to appear in the upcoming movie....
