Assata Shakur, a fugitive Black militant sought by the US since 1979, dies in Cuba
SUMMARY: Assata Shakur, a Black liberation activist who was given political asylum in Cuba after her 1979 escape from a U.S. prison where she had been serving a life sentence for killing a police officer, has died. The Cuban government said Friday that Shakur died Thursday in Havana due to “health conditions and advanced age.” Shakur’s case had long been a thorny issue in the fraught relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Shakur was convicted in the 1973 death of Trooper Werner Foerster during a gunfight after a traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. She was sentenced to life in prison but escaped and eventually fled to Cuba.

Fellow officers recall courage, devotion of 3 Pennsylvania detectives killed in ambush
SUMMARY: Three Pennsylvania detectives shot to death last week while attempting to arrest a stalking suspect were remembered as exemplary officers and devoted family men at a funeral. The service was held Thursday for Northern York County Regional Police detectives Cody Michael Becker, Mark Edward Baker and Isaiah Emenheiser. It's been more than a week after they were ambushed by a man who had been inside the home of a woman he was accused of stalking. Two other officers were also hurt. The stalking suspect died in an exchange of gunfire with police.

California Legislature passes two watered-down bills to regulate data center water use, energy costs
SUMMARY: California lawmakers started the year saying they were ready to get tough on data centers, aiming to protect the environment and electric ratepayers. But the two bills that passed are weakened versions. Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering a bill that mandates data centers disclose their water use, but that information may not be made public. The other initially sought to protect energy customers from shouldering infrastructure costs driven by data centers. However, it now just lets regulators figure out if that is happening. The increase in the number of data centers means more water is being used to cool them along with more power plants and transmission lines being built to serve them.

US Justice Department sues 6 more states, including NY and California, in its quest for voter data
SUMMARY: The U.S. Justice Department is suing six more states, saying the states refused to turn over their voter registration lists. The lawsuits filed Thursday also accuse the states of failing to respond sufficiently to questions about how they maintain voter rolls. The department’s newest lawsuits targeted California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania after it sued Oregon and Maine last week. States called the department’s request for voters’ personal information intrusive, unprecedented and illegal, and vowed to fight it. The department says it's mounting a nationwide effort to ensure that states are complying with federal requirements to maintain voter rolls. The federal government doesn’t run elections.

Beavers' 9th-inning homer gives Orioles 6-5 win, assures Rays 2nd straight losing season
SUMMARY: Dylan Beavers homered on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in their home finale. The Orioles — who would have been assured of a last-place finish in the AL East with a loss — rallied from a 5-2, eighth-inning deficit and guaranteed the Rays consecutive losing seasons for first time since four straight from 2014-17. Coby Mayo tied it with a two-run homer in the eighth. Keegan Akin worked the ninth. Kevin Kelly allowed the homers to Mayo and Beavers, each on the first pitch of the at-bat.

In a disappointing year, the Orioles finished up their home schedule on a high note
SUMMARY: Rookie Dylan Beavers hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles trailed 5-2 in the eighth before rallying in their home finale. They tied it that inning with a two-run shot by 23-year-old infielder Coby Mayo. Amid a disappointing season, the Orioles are 14-8 in September. They had five walk-off wins this month, with rookies like Beavers and Samuel Basallo playing significant roles.

AL East race between Yankees and Blue Jays comes down to final weekend of season
SUMMARY: The race for first place in the AL East is even with three games to go. That means the division title will be determined this weekend by how the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees handle a pair of also-rans. After both teams won at home Thursday night, the Yankees and Blue Jays remain tied for the top spot — and the best record in the American League — at 91-68. New York hosts last-place Baltimore for three games beginning Friday night, while Toronto welcomes fourth-place Tampa Bay north of the border. The Yankees and Blue Jays are both headed to the playoffs regardless of their results over the next three days, but the division winner gets a first-round bye.

Jets and Dolphins meet on Monday night, each looking to avoid 0-4 start
SUMMARY: The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are both winless heading into Monday night's AFC East matchup, with both teams vying to avoid 0-4 starts. Tua Tagovailoa is 6-0 in his career against the Jets as Miami's starter but has been inconsistent in the first three games of the season. The Jets haven't found a win under first-year coach Aaron Glenn and are facing uncertainty at quarterback. Justin Fields remained in concussion protocol earlier this week after missing the previous game. The Jets have lost nine straight games at Miami.

Aaron Glenn's viral dance moves sparked mixed reactions, but Jets coach says he'll always be himself
SUMMARY: Aaron Glenn's dance moves on the sideline have made him a viral sensation on social media. The New York Jets coach celebrated a blocked field goal and touchdown with an impromptu dance during Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Despite the Jets losing 29-27, Glenn's dance gained attention when ESPN's Jenna Laine synchronized it to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." Her tweet has since garnered 2.6 million views. Glenn says he hasn't seen that video but insists he's just being himself. He adds that he will continue be authentic, regardless of others' opinions of how a head coach should act.

Jets quarterback Justin Fields progressing in concussion protocol, could return Monday vs. Dolphins
SUMMARY: New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields remains in concussion protocol but is progressing toward a possible return for the game against Miami on Monday night. Coach Aaron Glenn said Thursday that Fields will be the starter if he clears concussion protocol. Fields was listed as a full participant as he practiced for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Jets' loss to Buffalo in Week 2. He will have two more full practices on Friday and Saturday to determine if he'll be ready to play against the Dolphins. Tyrod Taylor started in Fields' place last Sunday, throwing two touchdown passes and a pick-6.

76ers' Jared McCain suffers another setback with thumb injury
SUMMARY: Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain sustained a UCL tear in his right thumb during a workout. The team and McCain are consulting physicians to decide on treatment. This injury is a setback for McCain, who was already recovering from a torn meniscus. Last season, as a rookie, he averaged 15.3 points in 23 games before injuring his left knee in December. The 76ers faced multiple injuries last season, including Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George, which dashed their championship hopes. They lost 31 of their final 36 games, finishing with a 24-58 record.

Phillies beat Miami 1-0, eliminating the Marlins from the wild-card race
SUMMARY: Walker Buehler pitched five scoreless innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami 1-0 on Thursday night, eliminating the Marlins from the wild-card race. After hitting a team-record eight homers Wednesday night in an 11-1 victory that wrapped up a first-round bye, the Phillies scored the lone run on Alec Bohm’s first-inning groundout. Buehler (10-7) allowed three hits and three walks and hit a batter. Taijuan Walker followed with two innings of relief, Matt Strahm pitched the eighth and, after an hour-long rain delay, 40-year-old David Robertson finished for his second save.

Yankees beat White Sox 5-3 behind Stanton and Rodón to stay tied with Toronto for AL East lead
SUMMARY: Giancarlo Stanton grounded a go-ahead, three-run double and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 to remain tied with Toronto atop the AL East going into the final three games of the regular season. Carlos Rodón pitched six steady innings for his 18th win and Austin Wells added an RBI double off the right-center fence in the seventh as the playoff-bound Yankees finished a three-game sweep to move a season-high 23 games above .500. New York, which has won five straight and eight of nine, is assured home-field advantage in the Wild Card Series if it can’t edge the Blue Jays for the division title. The teams share the best record in the American League at 91-68. Toronto holds the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Umpires take away Tyler Gilbert’s glove after White Sox reliever gets checked for sticky stuff
SUMMARY: Tyler Gilbert’s glove was taken away by umpires who found it too sticky when the Chicago White Sox reliever entered Thursday night’s game against the New York Yankees. With the White Sox leading 3-1 in the fifth inning, Gilbert was summoned from the bullpen to replace starter Davis Martin at Yankee Stadium. Second base umpire Phil Cuzzi performed a routine inspection for illegal substances before Gilbert reached the pitcher’s mound. Crew chief Dan Bellino, working at third, also took a look and decided something wasn’t right. Gilbert’s glove was confiscated, but the left-hander was permitted to pitch with a different one.

Cal Raleigh makes history, but will the catcher's 60 homers be enough to beat Aaron Judge for MVP?
SUMMARY: Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh has hit 60 home runs this season, joining an elite group in baseball history. He and Aaron Judge are the frontrunners for the American League MVP award. As of Thursday night, Raleigh was a slight favorite according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Judge, however, leads in advanced stats like wins above replacement. No catcher — and no switch-hitter — has ever hit as many homers as Raleigh in a season. In that sense, he’s had a more historic year than Judge. Now it’s up to the voters to decide if it was more valuable.

Joel Embiid offers no timetable, eyes consistent return to 76ers after knee surgery
SUMMARY: Joel Embiid says there is a “plan in place” for his return to the 76ers after knee surgery in April. Speaking at the team media day on Friday, Embiid emphasized his goal to play consistently. The two-time NBA scoring champion had surgery following a tough season that limited him to 19 games. He was ruled out in February after averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists. Embiid has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, including a stress fracture, meniscus tear, and more. Despite these setbacks, he remains determined to play every game.

Pittsburgh's 'jock tax' on visiting athletes, performers at publicly funded stadiums shot down
SUMMARY: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that Pittsburgh’s so-called jock tax discriminates against visiting professional athletes and performers. The city has been charging them a 3% tax for income earned at publicly funded stadiums, while charging resident athletes 1% plus a 2 % school tax. The city says the net effect is the same, but the high court disagreed Thursday. The court notes that state lawmakers authorized the tax in the early 2000s to boost city finances, not to help pay for the stadiums. The city had collected about $2.6 million from the tax so far this year.

In Ireland, Aaron Rodgers talks Guinness and NFL international growth
SUMMARY: Aaron Rodgers was dressed in black, appropriately, to field questions about Guinness. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback spoke to the international media at a resort hotel where the team is staying ahead of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Can’t avoid the Guinness questions in Ireland, it seems. He says “I don’t really drink beer, but if I do, I drink Guinness.” It would certainly taste better with a victory at Croke Park on Sunday, when Ireland joins the NFL’s growing list of host countries.
