🥵 Dortmund players resort to extreme measure to avoid heat

And it isn't just the players on the field for the Club World Cup clash who are feeling the heat.

So uncomfortable were Dortmund's substitutes during the first half that they resorted to watching from the comfort of their air conditioned dressing room for the start of play.
The weather hasn't had too adverse an impact on the players on the field though with an impressive performance.

(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle has been accused of abuse by his wife, and MLB is now investigating the allegations, according to a statement the Giants put out Saturday. According to The Mercury News, Hjelle said Saturday that he doesn't have an official comment at the moment but that he'll eventually make a statement after speaking with his agent and lawyer. Advertisement Hjelle's wife, Caroline Hjelle, posted a TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children. The video's caption read, "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mother's Day a week after this [video was taken] once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone." The Giants said in their statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and have been in contact with MLB, which is looking into the situation. 'Obviously we're aware of it,' Giants manager Bob Melvin said before the Giants' 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox Saturday, via The Associated Press. 'He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it's in their jurisdiction right now so I really can't comment on it further." Advertisement Melvin also said before the game Saturday that Hjelle would be available to pitch. He didn't make an appearance, however. Hjelle, a 28-year-old righty, made his debut with the Giants in 2022. The organization drafted him in the second round in 2018. This season, Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six outings, the most recent of which took place Friday night in a 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. Hjelle was responsible for the defeat after allowing a tie-breaking home run to center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning.

Chicagoans flock to city's beaches to beat the extreme heat
Summer in Chicago started off with oppressive, dangerous heat as temperatures topped out above 90°, with the heat index climbing well above 100° on Saturday. The lakefront was crowded, and so were public pools, as crowds headed out to keep cool by taking a dip anywhere they could. "I am doing a plein air painting," Kira Mountjoy-Pepka said along the lakefront. "It means painting outdoors and capturing the light exactly as it is." As an artist captured Chicago's light and shadows, the heat left an impression on everyone. "Hopefully, I'll get out of here before I melt and turn into a puddle," Mountjoy-Pepka said. She painted in plein air that felt like 100° and rising. During an extreme heat warning with dangerously hot and humid conditions, people like Allison Vega flooded places like Millenium Park. "Kids are running around in their bathing suits, just laying on the ground in the dirty water, but they're cool. So, that's what matters. They're happy and they're cool," she said as her kids played in Crown Fountain. Bodies of water, no matter how big or small, were the place to be on Saturday. Buddies Zach Frame and Parker Greenfield beat the heat and the crowds at Humboldt Park Beach, the city's only inland beach, avoiding the larger crowds on the lakefront while still managing to find sand and sun. "I feel like we kind of skipped spring and went right into summer and then it hit pretty hard," Frame said. Chicago was sweltering, but the Windy City offered some brief relief. "The breeze definitely helps," Frame said.
