2. Former Brewers starting pitcher, Wade Miley's name appears in documents surrounding a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Tyler Skaggs. A starting pitcher for the Angels, Skaggs died in 2019. Skaggs had a mixture of ethanol, fentanyl, and oxycodone in his system at the time of his death, when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room. Former Angels communications director Eric Kay is serving a 22-year prison sentence for facilitating access to the drugs Skaggs was using. Kay indicated that Miley had been a drug source during a recorded prison phone call with his mother. The agent for Skaggs testified that his client sometimes received prescription drugs from Miley.

3. A team of about 60 researchers are spending six weeks in the Great Plains chasing hail. It's a first-of-its-kind giant science project that may eventually help better forecast hail. The weather hazard costs the U.S. about 10 billion dollars a year in damage to cars, roofs, and agriculture. The scientists use different tools and a lot of adrenaline to penetrate and measure hail. They've already collected hail the size of DVDs, lost a car windshield, and suffered an injury.
