He struck out 10 for the third time in his major league career and mowed through the Yankees after they tagged him for four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings last Tuesday at Detroit.

A heat dome will engulf World Cup games in the eastern US this week. Here's what to expect
SUMMARY: The World Cup games are heating up this week with knockout rounds, and so is the outdoor heat. A dangerous heat dome will engulf the central and eastern U.S. this week. Scorching heat may soar into “feels-like” temperatures of up to 110 F in some areas. Conditions will bring above-average temperatures to World Cup host cities such as Boston, Philadelphia and Kansas City, Missouri. Concerns are heightening over player and fan safety during the games. Players have medical staff, three-minute cooling breaks midway through each half and other heat safeguards. For spectators, drinking plenty of fluids, seeking shade or air-conditioning and staying out of the sun can help protect from the heat.
