Takeoff, of Atlanta Rap Trio Migos, Shot Dead at 28 in Houston (The New York Times)

The police believe the rapper was killed in a shooting at a bowling alley in Houston overnight, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

A lawyer representing the rapper called the claims “patently and provably false” and said Takeoff was known for his “quiet, reserved and peaceful personality.” The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the case because of a lack of evidence, [according to Pitchfork](https://pitchfork.com/news/migos-takeoff-not-facing-criminal-charges-over-sexual-assault-allegations/). The first of the group to fall hard for rap music, Takeoff soaked up music bought at the flea market, particularly Lil Wayne and his early group the Hot Boys. In the years since, Migos has released singles including “MotorSport,” “I Get the Bag” and “Walk It Talk It”; Takeoff also put out a solo album, “The Last Rocket,” which debuted at No. Last month, Takeoff and Quavo — without the third Migos member, Offset — released an album, “Only Built for Infinity Links,” which went to No. “You gotta have character.” The group’s subsequent album, “Culture,” Offset began spending time at Edna’s house and considered Takeoff and Quavo his cousins. The trio first came to wide attention five years later with its debut singles “Bando,” 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was his time to shine.” The world was starting to learn about Takeoff. A representative for Migos, who was not identified, told

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The road trip of the NFL season was mapped out months ago for Eagles fan Kevin Ridpath. There was a flicker of hope the season-ticket ...

— maybe the Game 5 score will be relayed to him over his headset. 27, 1986 night the Giants played across the river against Washington on Monday Night Football in a decade when both events were still peak TV viewing experiences. The Astros' 5-0 win in Game 4 tied the series 2-2 and will send it back to Houston. That means Eagles fans can flip to WPHL 17 and Texans fans can tune to MY20 KTXH-TV during World Series commercial breaks. “I can’t imagine they’re not going to have a baseball game on in the stadium somewhere.” But it wasn’t as easy back in the day to catch every Joe Morris touchdown for the New York Giants or Darryl Strawberry home run the New York Mets when they competed at the same time. Thanks to a Game 3 rainout, both Eagles-Texans and Astros-Phillies play on the same night and the same time, causing some headaches — though it’s more sports heaven in Philly — for fans who would rather not divide their fandom. The NFL game streams on Amazon’s Prime Video, but all Thursday games also air on broadcast television in their local markets. Yeah, the same date as a potential Game 6. “Other people are canceling because they want to be here tonight and tomorrow night.” More than 50% of the televisions around the stadium that would normally show other NFL games will instead show Game 5. There was a flicker of hope the season-ticket holder could catch the Birds in Arizona until a wedding got in the way.

Astros Throw Second No-Hitter in World Series History (The New York Times)

Cristian Javier and three relievers shut down the powerful Philadelphia Phillies, tying the World Series and accomplishing a feat that hadn't happened since ...

And I knew every single year that I was in the minors that I didn’t have anything promised, that I would just have to give my best every single year. With every strikeout, any thought of Justin Verlander’s failure to hold a 5-0 lead for the Astros in Game 1 receded further and further. Miller said that the Astros had allowed Javier to toss a career-high 115 pitches over seven innings in the combined no-hitter against the Yankees in June and that he “hadn’t done it since.” In fact, Javier had only thrown 100 or more pitches once since, when he reached 106 in a game at Atlanta on Aug. That forced in Houston’s first run, and the inning would deteriorate from there for the Phillies. Javier, a 25-year-old right-hander, signed as a undrafted free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2015 for only $10,000. A team that ranked third in the American League in runs scored this season had fallen into a 16-inning drought that started in Game 2 and stretched through the first four innings of Game 4. A team that made it to the World Series without losing a single game of the division series or League Championship Series rounds of the playoffs was left talking about wringing just one win out here to force a trip back home. It had worked in Game 1, but on this day Alvarado drilled Alvarez with the first pitch he threw, a 99-m.p.h. Though a complete game no-hitter would be considered a more impressive feat, there was no chance that the Astros were going to allow Javier, who was at 97 pitches through six innings, to keep pitching in pursuit of an individual accomplishment. The closest the Phillies came to a hit was in the third inning when Schwarber sent a loud shot down the first base line that slipped past a diving Yuli Gurriel — but only because the ball sliced into foul territory just before it passed the first base bag. “Then it kind of skirted by the line and I was like, ‘Oh, no’, hoping it’s not fair. Javier’s outing positioned the Astros for a 5-0, World Series-tying win in a Game 4 classic.
