An Oxfam audit of the World Bank's 2017-2023 climate finance portfolio found that between $24 billion and $41 billion in climate finance went unaccounted for between the time projects were approved and when they closed. There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible. It also remains unclear whether these funds were even spent on climate-related initiatives intended to help low- and middle-income countries protect people from the impacts of the climate crisis and invest in clean energy.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday New York Yankees 4, Detroit Tigers 2 Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians, PPD Tampa Bay Rays 6, Chicago Cubs 5 Yankees 4, Tigers 2 – Cole gets career-low 5 outs, pen leads Yanks over Tigers 4-2 Gerrit Cole lasted a career-low 1 2/3 innings, and Clarke Schmidt combined with four relievers to pitch three-hit shutout ball and lead the New York Yankees over the Detroit Tigers 4-2 in a series opener. Cole matched his career high of five walks and allowed two runs and one hit, throwing just 37 of 68 pitches for strikes. Starting the third season of a $324 million, nine-year contract, the 31-year-old right-hander has a 6.35 ERA in three starts and has pitched into the sixth inning just once. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera singled off Cole leading off the second, his 2,996th hit. White Sox at Guardians, PPD – White Sox, Guardians postponed again, doubleheader Wednesday For the second straight day, the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians have been postponed by inclement weather and unplayable conditions. The game will be made up as part of a traditional doubleheader Wednesday, starting at 2:10 p.m. Monday’s postponement will be played as part of a doubleheader on July 12. Rays 6, Cubs 5 – Franco homers in Wrigley debut, Rays beat Cubs 6-5 Wander Franco hit his first homer of the season, a two-run drive to left-center in the third inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5. Cubs rookie Seiya Suzuki drew three walks but his nine-game hitting streak came to an end. That left him tied with Akinori Iwamura for the longest hitting streak by a Japanese-born player to start a career. Playing at Wrigley Field for the first time, Franco finished 3-for-5, including the homer that put the Rays ahead 3-0. Tampa Bay reliever Josh Fleming got the win. Andrew Kittredge retired the final 6 batters for his 2nd save.

Eberflus and defensive assistants have taken the Bears back to a 4-3 defensive approach after the team played a 3-4 front for seven seasons. Defensive players also are getting used to playing without veteran linebacker Khalil Mack, who was traded. NCAAFB – With expansion on hold, College Football Playoff settles in As college football tries to navigate unprecedented upheaval, the status quo holds with the College Football Playoff that crowns its national champion. CFP executive director Bill Hancock says he does not believe major changes are coming any time soon after a proposal to expand to a 12-team playoff was abandoned in February. He expects the playoff will keep its four-team format through the end of its current contract. NCAAWBKB – NCAA sanctions Ohio State women’s hoops, 2 other programs Ohio State’s athletics department has been given four years probation and hit with other sanctions as a result of self-reported recruiting and policy violations in three women’s sports, including basketball. The other violations, as outlined in a report issued by the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions, were in the women’s fencing and golf programs between 2015 and 2019. The university had self-reported the violations, and in December 2020 imposed a postseason ban for all three sports in 2020-21. Tennis – 5-time Grand Slam champ Maria Sharapova says she is pregnant Maria Sharapova says she is pregnant. The five-time Grand Slam tennis champion retired from the sport in February 2020. She delivered the pregnancy news via a social media post on Tuesday — her 35th birthday. She announced her engagement to Alexander Gilkes in December 2020. MILB – Minor league game time cut 20 minutes with pitch clocks Minor league games averaged 2 hours, 39 minutes in the first three days with a pitch clock, down 20 minutes from the prior average this season. Major League Baseball says the 132 games with a clock averaged 5.11 runs and 15.9 hits, close to the average of 5.13 runs and 16.1 hits for the 335 games without a clock. Time between pitches during a plate appearance was cut from 21.5 seconds to 19.7 seconds, and time between batters was lowered from 43 seconds to 39.7.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday New York Yankees 4, Detroit Tigers 2 Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians, PPD Tampa Bay Rays 6, Chicago Cubs 5 Yankees 4, Tigers 2 – Cole gets career-low 5 outs, pen leads Yanks over Tigers 4-2 Gerrit Cole lasted a career-low 1 2/3 innings, and Clarke Schmidt combined with four relievers to pitch three-hit shutout ball and lead the New York Yankees over the Detroit Tigers 4-2 in a series opener. Cole matched his career high of five walks and allowed two runs and one hit, throwing just 37 of 68 pitches for strikes. Starting the third season of a $324 million, nine-year contract, the 31-year-old right-hander has a 6.35 ERA in three starts and has pitched into the sixth inning just once. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera singled off Cole leading off the second, his 2,996th hit. White Sox at Guardians, PPD – White Sox, Guardians postponed again, doubleheader Wednesday For the second straight day, the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians have been postponed by inclement weather and unplayable conditions. The game will be made up as part of a traditional doubleheader Wednesday, starting at 2:10 p.m. Monday's postponement will be played as part of a doubleheader on July 12. Rays 6, Cubs 5 – Franco homers in Wrigley debut, Rays beat Cubs 6-5 Wander Franco hit his first homer of the season, a two-run drive to left-center in the third inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5. Cubs rookie Seiya Suzuki drew three walks but his nine-game hitting streak came to an end. That left him tied with Akinori Iwamura for the longest hitting streak by a Japanese-born player to start a career. Playing at Wrigley Field for the first time, Franco finished 3-for-5, including the homer that put the Rays ahead 3-0. Tampa Bay reliever Josh Fleming got the win. Andrew Kittredge retired the final 6 batters for his 2nd save.

The network said the crew will work for the first time at the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 4 between Jacksonville and Las Vegas.

NFL – Justin Fields and the Bears are learning the Eberflus way Since Matt Eberflus took over as coach of the Chicago Bears, second-year quarterback Justin Fields and his teammates are adjusting to a new way of doing things. Working at a three-day minicamp on Tuesday, Fields is changing his footwork and getting the ball out faster under new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. Eberflus and defensive assistants have taken the Bears back to a 4-3 defensive approach after the team played a 3-4 front for seven seasons. Defensive players also are getting used to playing without veteran linebacker Khalil Mack, who was traded. NCAAFB – With expansion on hold, College Football Playoff settles in As college football tries to navigate unprecedented upheaval, the status quo holds with the College Football Playoff that crowns its national champion. CFP executive director Bill Hancock says he does not believe major changes are coming any time soon after a proposal to expand to a 12-team playoff was abandoned in February. He expects the playoff will keep its four-team format through the end of its current contract. NCAAWBKB – NCAA sanctions Ohio State women’s hoops, 2 other programs Ohio State’s athletics department has been given four years probation and hit with other sanctions as a result of self-reported recruiting and policy violations in three women’s sports, including basketball. The other violations, as outlined in a report issued by the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions, were in the women’s fencing and golf programs between 2015 and 2019. The university had self-reported the violations, and in December 2020 imposed a postseason ban for all three sports in 2020-21. Tennis – 5-time Grand Slam champ Maria Sharapova says she is pregnant Maria Sharapova says she is pregnant. The five-time Grand Slam tennis champion retired from the sport in February 2020.
