LOS ANGELES (AP) — Reese Olson continues to make his case for being a part of the Detroit Tigers rotation next season.The rookie won for the third time in his last four starts, combining with two relievers on a three-hitter to help the Tigers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 on Wednesday night and avoid a sweep in the three-game series.“His mix was incredible tonight against a good hitting lineup. He was relentless in the strike zone,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “He’s demonstrating that he belongs and he can do different things to different opponents. When his pitch mix is right he’s as good as anyone that we have.“When you come into Dodger Stadium and pitch as well as he did, he is going to come out with his chest held high.”Olson (5-7) allowed one run on two hits in six innings. The 24-year-old right-hander has given up just five runs in 30 innings over his last five starts.His only mistake came in the sixth inning when Max Muncy drove an elevated slide...Syrian President Bashar Assad arrives in China on his first visit since the beginning of the war in Syria

ENCINITAS, Calif. – City leaders in Encinitas are moving forward in their purchase of about 1.5 acres of land at La Costa Avenue and Highway 101, known to many as "Hippie Hill."“We wanted to see this land preserved and protected,” said Encinitas resident Elena Thompson.The purchase of the land is nearly official, with escrow expected to close by the end of September.“Having the opportunity to acquire this land and keep it from being developed into timeshares, I think the community has very much appreciated the work that we’re doing here,” Mayor Tony Kranz said.The northern end of Leucadia has seen the construction of a hotel and more development on the way including a nearby apartment complex, so the preservation of this land was paramount for long-time locals. 2 local ‘Bachelorette’ contestants among 5 saved after boat sinks on fishing trip “Now it’s not going to be developed.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli authorities are trying to figure out how a heavily armored, but unarmed, tank was stolen from a military training zone after finding it discarded in a junkyard.The Israeli Merkava 2 tank disappeared from a training zone in northern Israel near the coastal city of Haifa, the Israeli army said Wednesday. The training zone is closed to the public when in use, but is otherwise accessible to passersby.Police said the 65-ton tank was found abandoned in a scrapyard near a military base. In a video from the scene, the army green tank towers alongside rusty scraps of metal and other industrial castoffs.The army said the Merkava 2 was decommissioned years ago and was unarmed. It said it had been used most recently as a “stationary vehicle for soldiers’ exercises.” Police said they had arrested two suspects in connection with the theft.

It was not immediately clear if the incident was a politically-motivated attack.U.S. Embassy spokesperson Jake Nelson said that “there were no injuries, and our facility is safe.” He added: “We are in close contact with host country law enforcement authorities.”Shortly after the shooting, the Lebanese army took measures near the embassy and later security agencies started an investigation including analyzing security cameras in the area, a Lebanese official said on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.This year marked the 40th anniversary of a deadly bombing attack on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut on April 18, 1983, th...Record number of Australians enroll to vote in referendum on Indigenous Voice to Parliament
