ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves defeated the Oakland Athletics 4-0 Monday night as Matt Olson and Mauricio Dubón produced early offense and Bryce Elder threw six strong innings, while Mike Yastrzemski added an eighth-inning triple and Dubón drove him home.

The win improved Atlanta's early-season record and was followed Tuesday by Oakland's 5-2 rebound behind Shea Langeliers' homer and Aaron Civale's five effective innings; teams adjusted rotations and pitching usage with another matchup scheduled immediately after these games.

San Antonio — Victor Wembanyama scored a season-high 41 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, recording an exceptionally fast double-double as the Spurs defeated the Chicago Bulls 129-114 on Monday night; Wembanyama reached 10 points and 10 rebounds within the opening nine minutes, according to official box scores.

The win extended San Antonio's streak to nine games and strengthened their late-season positioning; Tre Jones scored 23 in his first game back in San Antonio after a trade, and statistical services this week will review play-by-play timestamps to confirm the double-double's official historical ranking.

Houston — Lance McCullers Jr. pitched seven innings and Jose Altuve hit two home runs as the Astros defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-1 on Monday night, marking McCullers' season debut after missing the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to arm injuries.

The win gave Houston its third straight victory after an 0-2 start; McCullers allowed one run with nine strikeouts while Altuve totaled four hits. Boston fell to a three-game skid, and both teams will assess pitching and lineup adjustments this week.

Nashville, Tenn. On Saturday, two AH-64 Apache helicopters from Fort Campbell conducted low-altitude maneuvers over downtown demonstrations and later hovered near musician Robert 'Kid Rock' Ritchie’s suburban Nashville residence, with social media videos showing the aircraft alongside his swimming pool during nationwide 'No Kings' protests.

This week the U.S. Army opened an administrative AR 15-6 review and temporarily suspended the involved aircrews pending investigation; Fort Campbell described the flights as training runs and said any link to the protests was coincidental, while spokespeople indicated potential regulatory or safety issues will be assessed.

Jupiter Island, Fla. — Golfer Tiger Woods crashed his Land Rover into a truck trailer and rolled the vehicle on March 27 after crossing double solid lines to pass; deputies arrested him that afternoon on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

The affidavit released Tuesday states deputies observed impairment signs and found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pocket; he took a breathalyzer with no alcohol detected, refused a urine test, spent about eight hours in custody, and was released on bail as prosecutors assess available video and testimony.

Detroit — On March 12, a man drove a pickup into Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, fired at security and ignited his vehicle; the attacker was killed at the scene and no congregants or staff among roughly 150 people were injured.

Federal officials announced Monday that investigators found video statements, phone searches and propaganda tying the assailant to Hezbollah ideology; FBI and U.S. prosecutors said the incident is being treated as a Hezbollah-inspired act and prompted additional security and legal review this week.

PHOENIX — Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday at the NFL league meetings that the team remains prepared to pursue a long-term commitment to All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua while they continue gathering information about an alleged New Year's Eve incident and related civil litigation reported last week.

The alleged incident prompted a civil lawsuit and a temporary restraining order petition that was later withdrawn; Nacua's attorney has denied antisemitic remarks and indicated plans for legal responses, while the Rams say they are assessing facts and balancing team expectations and player development this week.

Phoenix this week marked the halfway point of construction on the Cave Creek advanced water purification plant, while the Southwest Florida Water Management District announced irrigation restrictions beginning April 3 and Fort Collins utilities said they are awaiting Colorado–Big Thompson quota decisions before setting local limits.

The Phoenix facility will complete construction next year and enter a one-year demonstration to meet ADEQ standards; Florida's restrictions run through July 1 and limit watering to one day weekly; Global Water Resources declared a monthly dividend payable April 30 for shareholders recorded April 16.

Olympia — Gov. Bob Ferguson signed Senate Bill 6346 on March 30, enacting a 9.9% income tax on households earning more than $1 million; the law schedules collections to begin in 2029 and is projected to raise roughly $3 billion annually from approximately 21,000 filers.

The signing prompted immediate legal and political responses this week: the Citizen Action Defense Fund announced litigation citing a 1933 state precedent, opponents are organizing a November ballot referendum, and officials say the revenue will fund schools and targeted tax relief for lower-income residents and small businesses.

Bulverde, Texas. A 15-year-old student shot a teacher during morning classes at Hill Country College Preparatory High School on March 30, 2026, and then fatally shot himself on campus, Comal County Sheriff's Office officials said; the teacher was taken to a San Antonio hospital for treatment.

Local, state and federal agencies secured the campus, placed the school on lockdown and transported students to Bulverde Middle School for reunification; investigators executed a search warrant at the student’s home, seized electronic devices and recovered a .357 revolver as part of an ongoing inquiry.
