The Angels blew a 5-1 lead in their fourth consecutive loss and eighth in nine games overall. They had a 6-0 lead Sunday at Kansas City and lost11-9when Lane Thomas hit a three-run homer for the Royals in the 10th inning.

The White Sox sent 10 batters to the plate while scoring seven times in the seventh. It was their biggest inning of the season.

The 26-year-old Murakami, a rookie slugger from Japan, is batting .349 (15 for 43) with seven homers and 14 RBIs in his last 10 games.

Osvaldo Bido (2-0) pitched three innings of one-run ball for the win.

Soler and Nolan Schanuel each drove in a run in the ninth against Grant Taylor before Bryan Hudson retired Adam Frazier on a bouncer to second, stranding runners at second and third. It was Hudson's first career save.

The start was delayed three hours as rain and thunderstorms rolled over Rate Field.

Just two months before, she had published a children's book helping kids cope with grief and loss

In March 2022, Eric Richins wasfound deadin his bedroom. Four years later — in March 2026 — his wife,Kouri Richins, wasfound guiltyof murder.

At the time of his death, Kouri and Eric had been married for nine years and had welcomed three sons.

Kouri was arrested in May 2023 in connection with her husband's death. Two months before her arrest, Kouri had published a children's book aimed at helping children cope with grief and loss.

In the years since Kouri was arrested, Eric's family took custody of her kids, who are now entering their teen years.

So where are Kouri Richins' kids now? Here's what happened to her three sons after she was found guilty of their dad's murder.

Kouri and Eric had three sons, all under the age of 10 at the time of his death, according to hisobituary.

Eric "was an attentive and loving father," per his obituary, and a coach or assistant coach on all of his sons' sports teams.

"He was very good to the boys, and he taught those boys so much," said Kouri's mom, Lisa Darden, on a 2024 episode of48 Hours. "They idolized their father and he idolized the boys as well."

According to theGoodreadssynopsis, the book "follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but who is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, just like an angel watching over them."

Kouri dedicated it to "my amazing husband and a wonderful father," perNBC News.

According to48 Hours, Kouri and Eric had been having relationship problems, and to protect their sons financially, Eric put his estate into a secret trust without telling Kouri and appointed his sister, Katie Richins-Benson, as trustee.

When Eric died, there were "at least six life insurance policies on him," that totaled nearly $3 million, per48 Hours.

"Whoever ends up with the boys, ends up with the money," Lisa said in the episode. "It's not right."

According to a report fromThe Park Recordin November 2024, a juvenile court awarded custody of Kouri's sons to Eric's family as her request to be released ahead of her trial was denied.

Where are Kouri Richins’ kids now?

At the time of the 2024 episode of48 Hoursabout Kouri's case, her sons were living with a member of Eric's family, and were only permitted to talk with their mom twice a week through video calls.

After Kouri was found guilty in March 2026, a cousin of Eric's told reporters that the boys were in a loving environment.

"They’re just loved. We have a lot of love surrounding them," he said, perKSL-TV. "They’re great boys, and they’re going to be fine."

Angel Reese’s shot, confidence and versatility already trending up in Atlanta

CHAMBLEE, GA ― Shot by shot,Angel Reeseis finding her comfort with theAtlanta Dream.

Reese has spent the first 10 days afterher introductory press conferenceon April 17 focusing on basketball. She's praised her teammates and the "electric" environment they've provided, making her acclimation to the team "seamless." Reese also shouted out second-year head coach Karl Smesko for his coaching and guidance, helping to improve her shot.

"We’ve been working a lot. Forty-five (degrees), straight — he’s very big on analytics — so he’s helped me a lot. I can see the improvement already from yesterday to today,"Reese said on April 20. "But it’s been great. It’s been seamless. Amazing. Picking up things on the fly … but it’s been a great adjustment.”

Reese said earlier this month that she wanted to be coached hard. Smesko appears to be delivering.

On Monday, the former Florida Gulf Coast women's basketball coach spoke to his team in a calm but firm voice that noticeably cut through the silence in the gym with booming authority. Smesko, with a whistle in hand and arms extended outward, demanded extra attention to detail and focus from every player on the court.

He pointed out mistakes ― the incorrect set, a pending shot clock violation or defensive effort he wasn't pleased with ― by making his team run things again or asking them to take the reins on pointing out where they went wrong.

Smesko also heaped praise on his group when they did something well, and the team responded, including Reese, who kept up her intensity and communication throughout the portion of the practice open to the media. After practice, Reese smiled gleefully when asked about her first training camp under Smesko.
