As we sit here on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers just beat the Guardians to pull within two games of first place in the AL Central. And no, I didn’t fall out of bed and bump my head.

Police say the 19-year-old gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old girl at a St. Louis high school was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and what appeared to be more than 600 rounds of ammunition.

An armed former student broke into a St. Louis high school Monday morning, fatally shooting a teacher and a teenage girl and wounding seven others before police killed him.

LOUIS - Former Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos was a unique type of hero in his first game with the Chicago Cubs, breaking up a no-hitter and recording the only hit of the entire game for his new team. Castellanos batted second for the Cubs on Thursday as they battled NL Central co-leader St. Louis for sole possession of first place. It was by far the most meaningful game Castellanos has played in since 2016, but he likely didn't expect to be an offensive hero with a single, a walk, a strikeout and a line out. Castellanos hit a double and a single, and struck out three times in six at-bats that game.
