Hoerner backs Stroman in 5th straight winning start, Cubs top Giants 3-2

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:54:05 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Cubs manager David Ross sent a text message to Nico Hoerner a night earlier letting the second baseman know he would be held out starting the series opener in San Francisco but to be ready coming off the bench.“OK, thanks skip,” the matter-of-fact reply went.“I know he’s mad,” Ross said Friday night. Then the Cubs called on him and pinch-hitter Hoerner delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh to back Marcus Stroman’s fifth straight winning start and Chicago beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 to snap a four-game losing streak. Stroman (7-4) has won each time out since a loss at Minnesota on May 14. He allowed two runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked four in his team-leading 14th start of the year. “It’s like playing a video game, it really is, the way he’s able to throw the ball both sides of the plate with his sinker, his slider, curveball, change-up,” catcher Tucker Barnhart said. “It’s been so m...

(CNN) — Una nueva y brillante supernova apareció en el cielo nocturno, y un telescopio situado en lo alto del Mauna Kea, en Hawai, estaba perfectamente preparado para captar las secuelas del estallido cósmico.El 19 de mayo, el astrónomo japonés Koichi Itagaki observó por primera vez la supernova en los brazos espirales de la galaxia del Molinete. Itagaki, un ávido cazador de supernovas, ha descubierto más de 80 explosiones estelares desde su observatorio situado en las montañas de Yamagata, en Japón.La supernova, denominada SN 2023ixf, es la más cercana que se ha visto en cinco años. Una supernova se produce cuando una estrella explota violentamente al final de su vida.La galaxia del Molinete se encuentra en dirección a la constelación de la Osa Mayor, a unos 21 millones de años luz de la Tierra. La galaxia mira de frente a la Tierra, lo que deja de manifiesto su impresionante estructura espiral y el casi billón de estrellas que contiene.Los brazos espirales de la galaxia está...

Readers sound off on a Mets legend, air pollution and Mike Pence’s religion

An indelible memory of original Met Roger CraigStaten Island: When I heard on June 4 that former New York Met and legendary manager and pitching coach Roger Craig passed away, I thought of a night almost 60 years earlier. Craig had lost 18 games in a row, pitching for a very poorly hitting Mets ball club. His plan on Aug. 9, 1963 was to break the hex by changing his uniform number from 38 to 13.The game, in the ancient Polo Grounds, went to the bottom of the ninth with the Mets and Chicago Cubs tied 3-3. Improbably, the Mets put runners on second and third with two outs. Joe Hicks had singled and Al Moran, with a batting average of .198, doubled behind him. Manager Casey Stengel called up pinch hitter Tim Harkness to bat for Craig. If the run did not score, Craig would be out of the game and his chance for the historic victory would vanish.Harkness was walked intentionally, bringing up leadoff hitter Jim Hickman (famously immortalized in our very first Gold’s Horseradish Mets ...

Indonesia set to deport Australian surfer jailed for drunken rampage in conservative province

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:54:05 GMT

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Australian surfer who was jailed for attacking several people while drunk and naked in Indonesia’s deeply conservative Muslim province of Aceh was set to be deported Saturday evening to his country after he agreed to apologize and pay compensation.Bodhi Mani Risby-Jones, 23, from Queensland, was detained in late April on Simeulue Island, a surf resort in West Aceh regency, after police accused him of going on a drunken rampage that left a fisherman with serious injuries.Risby-Jones was released from prison on Tuesday after he went through a restorative justice process and apologized for the attack and agreed to pay compensation to the fisherman’s family. That allowed him to avoid going to court and facing a possible charge of assault that could have landed him up to five years in prison.His lawyer, Idris Marbawi, said the two sides agreed that Risby-Jones would pay the fisherman’s family for hospital fees and a traditional peace ceremony. The total payme...

Montenegro holds snap parliamentary vote that could determine its EU path

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:54:05 GMT

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Montenegro is holding an early parliamentary election Sunday, a vote that could provide indications of whether the small NATO member in the Balkans will overcome the deep political divisions and instability that have hampered its route to joining the European Union.Some 542,000 voters are eligible to choose among 15 parties and coalitions fielding candidates, ranging from groups that are staunchly pro-Western to ones that are pro-Serbian and pro-Russian. The election will be Montenegro’s first in more than 30 years that does not feature Milo Djukanovic, who served almost continuously as the country’s prime minister or president since 2001. He lost a presidential election in April and has taken a back seat in politics.Polls and analysts predict that the centrist Europe Now movement, led by financial expert Milojko Spajic and the current president, Jakov Milatovic, is most likely to be the top vote-getter but without enough seats in parliament ...

Jamal Murray, and the five minutes that saved the Nuggets in Game 4: “I’m not going to fight it”

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:54:05 GMT

MIAMI – On the first possession after Nikola Jokic went to the bench with his fifth foul, the ball nearly rolled out of bounds.The broken play ended with Aaron Gordon chucking a desperation 3-pointer from the wing, and Denver’s lead, down to just eight only a few minutes into the fourth quarter, looked more tenuous than ever.The white-hot Heat crowd was roaring, sensing a momentary chance to stake their claim to these Finals.A lineup of Jamal Murray, Jeff Green, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun and Gordon was in and tasked with surviving the dreaded non-Jokic minutes. All that was on the line: a chance to push the Nuggets to the doorstep of their first-ever championship.But even on that first broken play, the Heat tipped their hand. Murray was unbothered.“Tonight it just felt like they were blitzing every pick-and-roll, just basically trying to limit my shot attempts, and I just wasn’t fighting it,” said Murray, who finished with 15 points on 5-for-17 shooting but dished 12 assist...
