Opening statements concluded in the misdemeanor domestic violence trial of Dallas cornerback Jourdan Lewis. The crux of the opening statements differed as to whether the actions committed during the March incident will constitute domestic violence. Lewis' attorney, John Shea (pictured right), says no and that his client was trying to leave the apartment. Lou Danner (pictured left) argued Lewis' actions with pillows and after along with the subsequent 911 call the victim made will show his guilt. The trial continues Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. in Michigan's 15th District Court.

The report that Clayton Kershaw will miss 4-to-6 weeks certainly means the Dodgers are more likely to pursue Yu Darvish, if the Rangers deal him. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball, but consider: Kershaw's health is now an unknown, Rich Hill's blister issues could surface again at any time, Brandon McCarthy is battling his own blister problem, and you can't trust Kenta Maeda in a playoff game. Barring a win streak over the next seven days, the Rangers should trade Darvish and the Dodgers would be the favorite to land him.
