Mullins appeared to motion toward the dugout before gingerly walking off the field.Rookie Colton Cowser, who made his major league debut last week, replaced Mullins on the base paths and in center field.

He was 5-for-35 at the plate in his first 10 games without an ex...

It changed the test that lower courts had long used for evaluating challenges to firearm restrictions, telling judges that gun laws must be consistent with the “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”Oregon voters in November narrowly passed Measure 114, which requires residents to undergo safety training ...
