Royals hit 3 home runs, beat Red Sox 9-3 to spoil season debut of Boston’s Trevor Story

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Drew Waters, MJ Melendez and Michael Massey each hit two-run home runs and the Kansas City Royals snapped a three-game losing streak with a 9-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.Brady Singer (8-8) allowed three runs off five hits over 6 2/3 innings, and the Royals finished with six extra-base hits.Adam Duvall had his 10th home run of the season, and Connor Wong and Jarren Duran added RBIs for Boston, which has lost five of its last six.Kutter Crawford (5-6) allowed three runs on seven hits over 3 1/3 innings, striking out six and walking two.The loss spoiled the season debut of Boston’s Trevor Story, who was in the lineup for the first time since last September after being activated off the 60-day injured list following offseason shoulder surgery. He went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.With Kansas City leading 1-0 with a runner on in the fourth, Waters connected on Crawford’s cutter and lofted it into Boston’s bullpen in right field for his seventh homer of t...

Yankees’ Aaron Boone says ‘quite a few’ managers called him after ejection: ‘A lot of funny stuff’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

Aaron Boone’s animated ejection earned the admiration of his fellow MLB managers.The Yankees skipper said he heard from “quite a few” of his contemporaries after he drew a line in the dirt near home plate and mimicked umpire Laz Diaz’s strikeout call during Monday night’s road game against the Chicago White Sox.Boone declined to share what other MLB managers told him but said it was “a lot of funny stuff.”The ejection occurred after Diaz called a third strike against Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe in the eighth inning of Monday’s 5-1 loss.“All I know is Laz was telling me, ‘Go.’ So he, I feel like in a way, egged me on to ‘go make a fool of yourself.’ I guess I obliged,” Boone said.Boone, who said Monday that the exchange stemmed from his frustration over multiple calls, added Tuesday that he thought his outburst embarrassed his daughter, Bella.The ejection was Boone’s sixth this s...

Jameson Taillon, Mike Tauchman sink Mets as Cubs even up series, 3-2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

The good vibes didn’t keep on rolling Tuesday at Citi Field.Mike Tauchman’s go-ahead solo homer off of Drew Smith in the top of the eighth inning proved to be the difference as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Mets, 3-2, in the second of a three-game set.The low-scoring affair needed only one late-inning swing as the Amazins’ had no answer for former Yankee Jameson Taillon. Taillon put together a stellar performance pitching deep into the game.The 31-year-old tossed seven innings, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out seven. He held the Mets scoreless after a first-inning, two-run jack off the bat of Pete Alonso as Buck Showlter’s squad went silently into the night in the final eight frames.Smith squandered a valiant pitching effort from Carlos Carrasco, who turned in a strong performance. The starter got some help from horrible Cubs’ baserunning in the fifth after the road team made two outs on the basepaths.The right-hander tossed five innin...

Royals spoil Story’s return, beat Red Sox 9-3

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

Trevor Story is a great player. He’s a two-time All-Star, a two-time Silver Slugger and one of the best all-around shortstops in baseball.But he’s also just one man, and if fans expected Trevor Story to solve all of the Red Sox problems by himself, Tuesday was a reminder that the club’s issues won’t be easily fixed.Coming off Monday’s thrilling walk-off and with Story making his season debut, the Red Sox couldn’t capitalize on their momentum and fell back to Earth with a listless 9-3 loss to Kansas City. Outside of a two-run rally in the bottom of the fifth the Red Sox bats were mostly silent, and the Royals just teed off on Boston’s beleaguered pitching staff.Story going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in his return didn’t help, but if the Red Sox pitching staff is going to surrender 15 hits, three home runs and a season-high six stolen bases, there’s only so much any position player can do.“Obviously for how much we want hi...

Terms of new contract that resolved British Columbia port dispute are released

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

VANCOUVER — The Canada Industrial Relations Board has released the new terms of the agreement that resolved British Columbia’s port dispute, including a commitment by employers to train workers to perform maintenance on new equipment.Contracting out of maintenance work to third parties had been one of the most contentious issues during the months-long dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada and the BC Maritime Employers Association.The four-year agreement also contains several terms about workers’ compensation.They include increases in the “Modernization and Mechanization retirement lump sum,” bringing that payout to $96,250 in 2026 for eligible retirees, over and above normal pension entitlements.The union representing about 7,400 workers said last Friday its members voted almost 75 per cent in favour of ratifying the new deal, ending a dispute that included a 13-day strike and halted movement of cargo worth billions.The deal f...

It’s very windy and dry in Hawaii. Strong gusts complicate wildfires and prompt evacuations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

HONOLULU (AP) — Several Hawaii communities were forced to evacuate from wildfires that destroyed at least two homes as of Tuesday as a dry season mixed with strong wind gusts made for dangerous fire conditions. The National Weather Service said Hurricane Dora, which was passing to the south of the island chain at a safe distance of 500 miles (805 kilometers), was only partly to blame for gusts above 60 mph that toppled power lines, rattled homes and grounded firefighting helicopters. “It’s kind of because of Hurricane Dora, but it’s not a direct result,” said Jeff Powell, a meteorologist in Honolulu. “It’s just a peripheral result.” Hawaii was sandwiched between high pressure to the north and a low pressure associated with Dora, he said, noting how it was sunny and very dry.The dryness and the gusts “make a dangerous fire situation so that fires that do exist can spread out of control very rapidly,” Powell said. Maui and the Big Island were contending with wildfire...

From upsets to record attendances, these are the trends that have emerged at the Women’s World Cup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:38 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — The traditional elite have been cut down to size at the Women’s World Cup. That has been the standout theme as a tournament that has already set records for attendance and goals scored enters the quarterfinals stage, and it has made for high drama. “It’s been absolutely incredible and a great testament to some of the work that is happening around the world,” FIFA’s head of women’s football, Sarai Bareman, told The Associated Press. “To see the results of this World Cup brings so much meaning to the work that we do. “It’s really special, not only for the players and the teams, but for those of us who are working on the game day in and day out.”Soccer’s world governing body FIFA is trying to grow the women’s game at pace, and it seems to be having an impact.Established nations have fallen one by one over the past two weeks, with the back-to-back defending champion U.S. team joining No. 2-ranked Germany, Brazil and Olympic gold medalist...
