ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Randy Arozarena lined an RBI single to right center to complete a three-run ninth inning off Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the Guardians 6-5 on Saturday.Clase (1-7) allowed Yandy Díaz’s one-out double. Díaz advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored to tie it at 5 on Brandon Lowe’s infield single before the All-Star Arozarena won it on an 0-2 pitch.“I was trying not to strikeout,” Arozarena said through a translator. “I was looking up at the radar and I noticed he was throwing 102 mph. I was also trying not to swing too hard. I choked up a little bit (on the bat).”It was Clase’s ninth blown save in 40 chances.Tampa Bay won Friday night’s series opener 9-8 when Wander Franco hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth after the Rays blew a three-run lead in the top of the inning.“They’re pumped,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said of his players. “They were pumped last night … Maybe a little mo...

Olivia did everything she needed to do, called the vet, found one with one had anti-venom and she got to the hospital 15 minutes after that.”  Scheu said Ahsoka spent the night there after receiving anti-venom and antibiotics.  "She rec...

Death toll in Maui wild fires expected to climb as FEMA identifies remans. Follow live updates

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:04 GMT

By REBECCA BOONE (Associated Press)Follow live updates about wildfires that have devastated parts of Maui in Hawaii this week, destroying a historic town and forcing evacuations. The National Weather Service said Hurricane Dora, which passed south of the island chain, was partly to blame for strong winds that initially drove the flames, knocking out power and grounding firefighting helicopters.Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said he expects the death toll to rise in what is already the second-deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. While walking down Front Street, he told reporters that some victims were positively identified Saturday.“I had tears this morning,” Green said, adding that he was afraid of what he would see at the disaster site.Operations were focusing on “the loss of life,” he added. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it has been spray-painting cars and buildings on Front Street with an “X” to indicate they had received an i...

Editorial: At $181K, Massachusetts pot boss no bargain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:04 GMT

Cannabis board boss Shannon O’Brien is paid $181,722 to oversee the state’s weed rollout.Losing her cool and needing to apologize for it because a key staffer is leaving is unprofessional.It comes as the latest tally shows the Bay State has hit a new one-month high in legal weed sales — $136 million in July. The previous record was set in June when $132.9 million in sales was recorded. That’s a lot of gummies.It’s clear that in Massachusetts, Democrats take care of their own. O’Brien was a failed Democratic candidate for governor and has landed on her feet with this job. Her outburst just adds more questions than answers.It’s clear she was overreacting to the departure of the agency’s long-serving executive director, Shawn Collins. He earns $201,879 and even if he’s the reincarnation of Steve Jobs, a suitable replacement can be found at that hefty salary.So declaring we’re in a “crisis” is far from reality. Maybe O’Brien sh...

Yankees Notebook: With rotation in shambles, Michael King could get stretched out

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:04 GMT

MIAMI — With their rotation battling multiple injuries, the Yankees could look to stretch Michael King out moving forward.King was asked to open Saturday’s game against the Marlins. The Yankees planned on him throwing two or three innings and about 40 pitches before turning to Jhony Brito for length.“It could be something where we continue to try and build him up a little bit while also recognizing his importance [in the bullpen],” Aaron Boone said of King.But that doesn’t necessarily mean King will move to a starter’s five-day schedule, as the Yankees will use the Swiss army knife as needed, pending his availability.Boone noted that there’s not much time left in the season for King to get stretched out for a starter’s full workload, but the Yankees can certainly get his pitch count up.“You probably can’t get him totally built up in a perfect world, especially with how we’re going to need him on a given day,” Bo...
