Washington has won three straight and scored a combined 35 runs since calling a players-only meeting on Wednesday after falling under .500 for the first time since May 2.

Scherzer (11-5), who was 0-4 in his previous five starts, pitched seven innings, allowing four runs on four hits — three of which were home runs....
For instance, most guidelines for prescribing statin drugs rely heavily on an accurate assessment of a person’s estimated 10-year risk of having a serious cardiovascular event (such as heart attack or stroke). In the attempt to make these estimates as accurate as possible, several risk estimators have been developed over the years. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. One legitimate criticism that has been leveled against most of these risk calculators—in particular, the famous Framingham score—is that they have not been as accurate in women as in men....

Ricciardo has endured a difficult campaign with Renault after switching from Red Bull in a bid to boost his world championship ambitions, finishing in the points just seven times and failing to get a single podium. McLaren have led the midfield this season and sit 38 points clear of the French team in the constructors’ standings, with Toro Rosso’s Daniil Kvyat the only driver outside of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull to earn a top-three finish....
Rice looked like he had set up Robert Snodgrass’ leveller in stoppage time at Bramall Lane, only for the video assistant referee to disallow the goal due to an accidental handball from the England international. Although Rice accepts the rules implemented for this season were applied correctly, he believes it was a “crazy” decision and insists top-flight players would like VAR to be scrapped. “Livid. It’s a really tough place to come and play....
Eight years ago, when John McCain was running against George W. Bush in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, someone spread a rumor by fax and flier that McCain had fathered a “black” love child. In fact, Cindy McCain had brought a sick girl to America from a Bangladeshi hospital run by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity; the child was later adopted by the McCains. Perhaps the smear artists assumed some voters in South Carolina had never heard of Bangladesh and, in any case, supposed it to be somewhere in Africa....

“If Republicans gain the Senate majority, do you plan to run for leader?” NBC’s Meet the Press host Chuck Todd asked the senator during an interview. “I’m not focused on anything except getting a majority Tuesday night,” Scott responded. “Everybody wants to ask me about a bunch of things that are going to happen after Tuesday night.” When Todd told him that his response was a “non-answer,” the senator once again said that he was “focused on what I get done Tuesday night....
The former seventh-round draft pick is on his third NFL team in seven years, and isn’t a household name.

Villalonga’s emergence is very much the story of Spain’s new, revitalized economy: borderless, outward-looking and entrepreneurial. Now 47, he was one of several youngish executives deployed by the Aznar government to knock state-owned companies into shape and prepare them for privatization. Villalonga had spent nearly a decade at McKinsey & Co., the management-consulting firm, and then went to work for several international banks. As a school chum of Aznar’s, Villalonga has never quite managed to dispel the charge of amiguismo, or cronyism, that greeted his appointment to run Telefonica....
