The Yankees took the matchup vs. the Nationals 4-1, but it was a weather-shortened game, called in the top of the sixth inning after a two-hour rain delay. Gerrit Cole looked the part, throwing five innings of one-run, one-hit ball with five strikeouts and a walk in his pinstriped debut. Earlier on Opening Day, news broke that Nats star outfielder Juan Soto tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19). Soto, whose test results came back positive after he was tested two days ago, practiced with the team on the day between, calling into question whether he spread the virus to his teammates....

A representative of the Zaidi Shiite Muslim movement Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, told Newsweek that the new U.S. administration should pressure regional partners to end the conflict and remove all restrictions surrounding the flow of goods into the country in order to save human lives. “The true position as it relates to Yemen is to stop the war and lift the siege,” Ansar Allah spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam told Newsweek....

Sanchez already has been the American League Player of the Week twice, as well as the league’s Player of the Month for August, in addition to, naturally, Rookie of the Month. Given that Sanchez has hit .284/.364/.672 with eight homers already in September, he’s got a decent shot at winning a second ROM award, which would put the Yankees catcher on equal footing with Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (April/May) and Cleveland outfielder Tyler Naquin (June/July)....

The revelation that Destiny 2 would be frame-capped at 30fps on PlayStation hardware led many to assume that Sony is to blame, that the company enforces a parity policy where PlayStation 4 Pro potential is hamstrung by PlayStation 4 limitations.
