  The Amgen Tour of California was once a quaint upstart race that took place in February, so early on the worldwide cycling calendar that nobody really paid it much attention.
  That has changed dramatically in the past 14 years.
  Now, the race has carved out a crucial week in mid-May opposite the opening week of the Giro d’ Italia, the first of the three Grand Tours. And that means it has become a key prep race for riders who have designs on racing in the Tour de France when July rolls around

  BALTIMORE — A night after Andrelton Simmons had four hits, he had the day off.
  While that may seem to be a bad time to give a player a day off, Manager Brad Ausmus looks at it another way.
  “After all the running, it turned out to be a good day,” Ausmus said Saturday.
  Ausmus had actually planned before Friday’s game to give Simmons the day off Saturday, and he told his shortstop about it.

• The insanity of the push for rent control

  One popular definition of insanity is: doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different result. Decades of evidence show that rent controls are a bad idea, yet several Californian cities maintain their rent-control ordinances. A new proposal working its way through the legislature would double down on this insanity by implementing it statewide.

  In March 2017, two months after he was hired as Rams coach, Sean McVay brought in a little-used veteran running back on a free-agent visit.
  Over five injury-riddled seasons in Dallas, Lance Dunbar didn’t play a featured role. He’d never reached 50 touches in a season and had just one career touchdown. Nonetheless, McVay saw in Dunbar an underutilized, all-purpose puzzle piece that could unlock his multifaceted offense. The slashing 5-foot-8 back, McVay believed, would be a perfect pa
