Bottas wins F1 race in Russia as Hamilton misses win record

Bottas won the Russian

Dodgers pitcher Edwin Rios, who was in the dugout when a power outage hit Dodger Stadium during the sixth inning against the Angels on Saturday night. Power was restored after 25 minutes and the Dodgers finished a 7-6 victory.

Grand Prix in Sochi on Sunday after his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton's race was ruined by penalties.

Hamilton had been looking to match Michael Schumacher's record of 91 wins in Formula One but had to settle for third behind Bottas and Max Verstappen. Bottas built a sizeable lead over Verstappen with ease and cruised to his first win since the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix.

Hamilton was already under investigation by the stewards when he started the race from pole position. Before the race he twice stopped to perform practice starts at the exit of the pit lane, rather than in the designated area. That eventually earned him two fivesecond penalties, dropping him as low as 11th at one stage.

Hamilton had asked Mercedes over the radio if he could perform the starts there, and was told he could. It was the second time in three races that a team blunder cost the British driver a shot at victory. Hamilton was leading at the Italian Grand Prix when he was given a penalty for entering the pit lane while it was closed, after a radio message from the team warning him was sent too late.

Hamilton's championship lead over Bottas was cut to a still-healthy 44 points with seven scheduled races remaining.

Timberwolves' Beasley jailed after arrest on two charges

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley was in jail Sunday on charges of drug possession and receiving and concealing stolen property, after his arrest the night before.

The Athletic first reported Beasley's arrest Saturday night at his home in Plymouth, a suburb of Minneapolis.

ESPN reported that police obtained a search warrant for Beasley's home after a complaint that he brandished a weapon at a person and officers found marijuana and guns in the home.

"We're aware of the situation involving Malik and in the process of gathering more information," Timberwolves coach Ryan Saunders said.

American Catlin keeps rolling with European Tour victory

John Catlin birdied three of his last four holes Sunday to close with a 6-under-par 64 and storm from behind for a two-shot victory in the Irish Open in Ballymena, North Ireland, his second win in three weeks on the European Tour.

Catlin, a 29-year-old American who until this year had only won on the Asian Tour, will move into the top 100 in the world for the first time in his career.

Aaron Rai never got anything going in favorable conditions at Galgorm Spa & Golf Resort. A birdie on the 17th hole pulled him within one shot of Catlin, and a birdie on the par-5 closing hole would have forced a playoff. Instead, Rai made bogey and closed with a 70.

Catlin finished on 10-under 270.
