With one choked-up swing, he delivered in a most meaningful way — in the heat of a pennant race. The rookie pinch-hitter bounced a go-ahead, two-run single through the middle in the eighth inning and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 9-8 on Monday after squandering a five-run lead. “He’s clutch, man,” Trevor Story said. “He’s not scared.” This was just another wild game at Coors Field as the Rockies remain in the thick of the NL West chase....

Miller, who used to command the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, took over responsibility for Iraq’s 14 military-run prisons last month after allegations of abuse perpetrated by U.S. military personnel triggered no less than five separate investigations. But it’ll take a lot more to remove the stain of Iraq’s current prison abuse scandal. Many Iraqis shudder at the words “Abu Ghraib.” It was Saddam Hussein’s most notorious prison, symbol of a regime so vast and so opaque that Iraqis are still sorting out whose corpses wound up in mass graves, and who simply disappeared....

While the iron-fisted teams of Europe are in the scheme of action ahead of the transfer period, a host of other clubs have expressed their interest in signing players from across the globe.

Juventus sporting director plays down Ronaldo exit Cristiano Ronaldo is set to remain at Juventus next season, as he wants to win the Ballon d’Or with the Italian powerhouse, according to club’s sporting director Fabio Paratici....

That might change with a new announcement from the Crysis Twitter account. The account tweeted yesterday that developer Crytek had released hotfixes for motion blur issues in Crysis Remastered as well as ensuring DLSS could be enabled on all systems that allowed it. Crytek followed up that tweet with another that teased “updates for both Xbox and PlayStation,” which has effectively caused fans of the game to launch into a discussion about what these upgrades could be....

Crystal Palace beat struggling Stoke City 4-1 on Sunday with defenders James Tomkins and Scott Dann both scoring from set pieces in a three-minute first half spell. James McArthur and Andros Townsend also scored for the Londoners before Marko Arnautovic grabbed a consolation goal for the Premier League’s bottom team in the dying seconds. Tomkins opened the scoring in the ninth minute when he stole in behind Jonathan Walters to toe-poke home Townsend’s free kick, and three minutes later Dann made it 2-0 as he headed Jason Puncheon’s corner into the back of the net....

After Nintendo’s announcement of the Wii U as their brand new console, fans and industry viewers alike were not just surprised, but intrigued as to how the company’s new take on controllers and motion controls in general would affect gameplay. Unfortunately, without any serious announcements where actual games are concerned, and still unconfirmed reports on the console’s processor, it’s hard for anyone to get an accurate picture of what sort of games will call the console home....

Three-time champions Chennai Super Kings are on a roll in IPL 2021. Since losing their first game of the tournament, CSK have won four on the trot. MS Dhoni and co. will head into Wednesday’s fixture on the back of a 69-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Riding on the exploits of Faf du Plessis and Deepak Chahar, Chennai Super Kings have impressed in the powerplay overs with both the bat and ball....

David Warner won the toss and elected to bat. The Orange Army lost Jonny Bairstow early, but the duo of Warner and Manish Pandey took the score past 120. Unfortunately, Warner could not accelerate his innings optimally. He departed to the pavilion after scoring 57 runs off 55 deliveries. Pandey soon joined him in the dressing room. Kane Williamson and Kedar Jadhav’s cameos helped the Sunrisers Hyderabad finish with 171/3 on the board....

Chasing Heat’s target of 138 in 20 overs, the Super Kings achieved it with 4.1 overs to spare and bag four points for the win to go top of the Group B standings with a total of 12. Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, have lost all their three matches in the tournament and cannot progress to the last four stage. Put in to bat, Brisbane Heat never really got their act together and kept losing wickets right from the start....

The 31-year-old Darvish is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA in his first season with Chicago after finalizing a $126 million, six-year contract in February. He was scheduled to start Tuesday night against Miami, but the Cubs provided no word on a replacement. The Cubs also recalled right-hander Cory Mazzoni from Triple-A Iowa on Monday and optioned reliever Luke Farrell to their top farm club. Farrell yielded Dexter Fowler’s game-winning homer in the 14th inning of Chicago’s 4-3 loss at St....

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went yard twice while Nicholas Castellanos, Anthony Rizzo and Nico Hoerner each notched one home run apiece. Chicago totalled five home runs in all and it was not a good night for Pirates starter Steven Brault. Brault became the first pitcher in MLB’s Live Ball Era to allow 10 earned runs and five home runs in three innings or less. He forked up eight hits in just 2....

Allowing the player to oversee and develop a cult comprised of deceivingly cute animals, Cult of the Lamb has been long anticipated by fans since its initial announcement at Gamescom 2021. Game Rant recently spoke to Cult of the Lamb’s Art Director James Pearmain, who detailed the many different original concepts and forms that the game initially took during the early stages of its development, many of which were wildly different to what the game eventually became....

Much of the reasoning behind Harvard’s admissions process comes from critical race theory (CRT), a theory of race that actually originated at Harvard University. CRT teaches that America is divided into privileged and oppressed racial groups. All negative aspects of modern society flow from that overly simplistic dichotomy. Under the CRT framework, “white supremacy” covers many different phenomena. Everything from blatant discrimination to the existence of English grammar to choosing not to riot are sometimes included under the term....

NieR Replicant was a success when it first released back in 2010. The game’s sequel, NieR: Automata is what finally pushed the franchise into a worldwide spotlight. This lead to the eventual announcement that the original game was getting a remaster that is due out in April, now called NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… Since this footage is only the second video that fans have been able to see, there is no telling if other voice actors have returned to their roles as well....

Pentiment reviews have been highly positive, with particular praise for the game’s story. While some reviewers weren’t quite as high on it as others, there are those that have even gone as far as to give the game a perfect 10/10 score. Pentiment’s positive reception has helped the game earn a respectable 85 rating on Metacritic, but it is now been the subject of review bombing efforts in both directions, with users spamming both negative and positive reviews....

While Peter Parker arriving in the Square Enix superhero game is news in of itself, the announcement that Spidey will only be available for PlayStation owners caused a divisive debate in the gamer sphere. When is it ok to have content cut off when it comes to certain platforms? When full games are released exclusively on platforms it’s business, and gamers for the most part understand. But when it comes to content like a new character, it seems that gamers have a harder time, which caused the character to trend on Twitter when the announcement came....
