Joe Burrow led yet another comeback against Auburn as LSU pulled away with a 23-20 win after a third-quarter deficit. It seemed like the visiting No. 9 Tigers could have pulled off an upset, especially after a goalline stand with 8:30 left in the third quarter and a 13-10 lead. But there’s a reason the hosting Tigers are undefeated. Burrow and company remained composed and collected down the stretch, despite a few hiccups, and continue to hold a commanding advantage in this series (19-5-1)....

After Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin struck out looking in the bottom of the sixth inning, home plate umpire Ben May sent a lingering gaze into the New York dugout for a few moments and sent Yankees manager Aaron Boone to the showers for arguing balls and strikes. Boone, as you’d imagine, took exception and ran onto the field to speak his mind. As Boone gave up and walked off the field, veteran outfielder Brett Gardner used his now-famous method of releasing frustration by banging a bat against the top of the dugout, which inspired first base umpire Phil Cuzzi to run over to the dugout and toss Gardner....

Russell Westbrook’s triple-double led the Thunder to just their second victory in seven games on Wednesday.

It was the most unanswered points scored by one team in the NBA this season. Paul George finished with 31 points for the Thunder – who have dropped to seventh in the Western Conference amid their slide – while Steven Adams chipped in 25....

The Thunder center liked an Instagram comment from a user who clearly does not think highly of Carmelo Anthony. In response to a question about which Oklahoma City star is the most valuable to the team, Adams showed his support for “all of them except Melo.” Here’s how it looked (via Bleacher Report): Adams contacted the Thunder on Monday to explain that the like was an accident, according to The Oklahoman’s Erik Horne....

The fraudsters’ attempts come despite the fact there are no specific medicines available to prevent or treat COVID-19, which has killed over 103,000 people in more than 1.7 million known cases, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Tiger Woods is amazed at 14-year-old Chinese golf prodigy Guan Tianlang and how well he executes his shotmaking at Augusta National this week ahead of Thursday’s start of the 77th Masters. “For a 14-year-old to be able to come out here and handle himself the way he has done is just unbelievable,” Woods said. “When I was 14, I was trying to play more tournaments and I was running track and cross country, trying to get homework done....

The 14-time major winner put himself firmly in contention at Carnoustie with a 66 in Saturday’s third round, moving to five under. While he remained three strokes shy of the summit at the close of his round with many of his rivals still on the course, Woods was confident he will be in with a shout on Sunday. “It’s been a few years since I’ve felt like this,” said Woods, whose last major victory came 10 years ago....

Almost 11 years on from his 14th major win, Woods sensationally added to his tally with a one-shot triumph at Augusta National, completing an improbable comeback from career-threatening injuries.

The American 14-time major champion, now ranked 666th after his long injury layoff due to back problems, recorded a miserable five-over 77 on the opening day on Thursday.

"All I can tell you is I interviewed for the job," McClendon said. "The process went well and I'm just waiting for the process to end." McClendon, 54, has been the Tigers' hitting coach since 2007.

Wednesday morning, THQ Nordic, Biomutant publisher and parent company of Experiment 101, issued a warning regarding reported fraud attempts. THQ Nordic posted on Twitter that Biomutant-related scam emails were being sent out this past week.
