David Ortiz was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first turn on the ballot, while steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were denied entry to Cooperstown in their final year under consideration by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Ortiz, a clutch slugger and 10-time All-Star over 20 seasons mostly with the Boston Red Sox, was named on 77.9% of ballots unveiled Tuesday night, clearing the 75% threshold needed for enshrinement.

NBA Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid played prolonged fourth-quarter minutes with Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble, and his 10-point burst in the last six minutes handed the Nuggets a 106-99 Game 1 loss on Saturday night. This is the first time in the last two postseasons that Denver has trailed a series.
