SEATTLE (AP) — It’s taken only three games for Nathan MacKinnon to declare this the toughest first-round series of his career. Colorado’s star made it look pretty easy with his two goals in Game 3 as the Avalanche reclaimed control of their opening playoff series. “This is definitely the hardest first round I’ve been in,” MacKinnon said. “I think sometimes the last few years we’ve been a top seed and we’ve not gotten easy teams by any means, but I think this Seattle team is a 100-point team and they’re really good, and we’re gonna have to continue to do our best to beat them.”MacKinnon was the best offensive player on the ice in Game 3 as the Avalanche beat Seattle 6-4 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Monday night and a victory by Colorado would give it a chance to wrap up the series at home on Wednesday. But MacKinnon wasn’t the only Colorado star to show up in a big way in Game 3. Cale Makar had a goal and an assist, and Mikko Rantanen had three points, in...Guardians LHP Logan Allen strikes out 8, wins MLB debut

Otherwise, he allowed five hits and walked one, and finished with a flourish by striking out three around a one-out walk in the sixth. Allen pounded his fist into his glove after Avisaíl García took a called strike three to end the inning.llen received a loud ovation as he walked off the field and was greeted by his teammates when he reached the dugout. He’s the third rookie to start a game for the Guardians, whose rotation is missing the injured Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale. Amed Rosario sparked Cleveland’s slumbering offense by going 4 for 5 with two singles, a triple and double while scoring three runs.

Jones, died due to a cardiac event while on the Celebrity Equinox cruise ship in August 2022, traveling from Fort Lauderdale to ports in the Eastern Caribbean.The lawsuit states that after Jones’ death, his wife, Marilyn Jones, was told that she had two options for what could be done with her husband’s body. According to the lawsuit, those options were to “either have Mr. Jones’ body removed from the ship in San Juan,” Puerto Rico or to “have his body stored on the ship until it reached port in Ft.

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:25:51 GMT
Sunday’s afternoon game at Camden Yards was a matchup of what could have been and what is. Two pitchers who share a last name, one whose days in an Oriole uniform never came and another for whom they are only beginning, dueled in a crowded Baltimore venue older than either of them.But neither Orioles rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez nor former Baltimore prospect Eduardo Rodriguez were around when the home team secured its sixth straight win. Adam Frazier rushed home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th to give the Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers, completing a series sweep.“Those kind of wins, at the end of each season, they add up,” said Fraizer, whose fielder’s choice Friday gave Baltimore a walk-off win in the series opener. “That’s how you make the playoffs.”The Orioles (14-7) have tied their third-best start in franchise history, trailing only the 1966 team (16-5) that won the World Series and the 1968 group (15-6...Yoshida goes deep twice, Red Sox score nine in eighth to beat Brewers 12-5

It seemed like it was going to be another one of those frustrating days.The Red Sox squandered a few early scoring chances, let the Brewers hang around, and eventually gave up the lead after Kaleb Ort walked three in the seventh and allowed the go-ahead run to score on a wild pitch. Given how good Milwaukee’s bullpen has been you’d have been forgiven for flipping over to the Bruins game, because clearly this one was over.If that was you Sunday, well, you missed a lot.Justin Turner and Masataka Yoshida wasted no time flipping the script, hitting back-to-back home runs in the top of the eighth to tie the game and take the lead. That sparked what wound up being a nine-run rally, as the Red Sox sent 12 runners to the plate and Yoshida delivered the dagger with a towering grand slam his second time up.That was more than enough breathing room for the bullpen, who closed out the 12-5 win to clinch Boston’s third straight series win, it’s second against a first-place...Latest news
