Saturday Sports Update
Top left: The Buffalo Bills have been drawing praise from the NFL Players Union for how they handled their positive coronavirus cases at the start of training camp. The team sent all of its rookies home and re-sanitized its facilities, and since then, the positive cases have recovered, and there are no current COVID-19 cases within the team. ESPN reports that it's one of a number of positive signs for the NFL to start its 2020 season. Photo by the Buffalo Bills

Torres went 4-for-4 at the plate, including a two-run double in the bottom of the 3rd inning, as the Yankees went on to rout the Boston Red Sox 10-3 at Yankees Stadium.
