Soto’s 2 homers lead Padres to 1st 4-game winning streak and 10-1 win over Athletics

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:04:28 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Juan Soto homered twice, including his first career grand slam, and the San Diego Padres won their fourth straight game for the first time this season, beating the Oakland Athletics 10-1 on Sunday to sweep the series.The Padres had been the only team in the major leagues this season to not have a win streak of over three games. Their success resulted in another dubious mark for the A’s, whose 103 losses this season are the most in franchise history since 1979.For San Diego manager Bob Melvin, fighting off playoff elimination with a few weeks left in the season means needing more than just four wins in a row. The Padres are six games back in the NL wild card race with 12 games to play.“We have to win them,” Melvin said. “It’s probably going to come down to that.”Soto hit a two-run drive in the seventh and the grand slam in the next inning to blow the game open and give him 32 homers on the year, two shy of his career-high set in 2019 with the Nationals.“It feel...

(CNN) — On one cold November morning in 1864, more than 200 Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal members, mostly women and children, were murdered in one of the worst massacres in American history.For 128 years, the man historians say authorized the massacre had a mountain – which was located on Indigenous territory – named after him.But not anymore.Mount Blue Sky, formerly Mount Evans, was renamed in a Friday vote of the US Board of Geographic Names, the US Department of the Interior announced in a news release.As the 14th highest peak in Colorado, the mountain stands at 14,258 feet along the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and the Pike and San Isabel National Forests.The new name holds significance because “the Arapaho were known as the Blue Sky people and the Cheyenne have an annual ceremony of renewal of life called Blue Sky,” according to the petition to rename the mountain submitted by the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.“It is a huge step, not only for the ...

Family of 14-year-old girl speaks out after flight attendant allegedly filmed her in bathroom

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:04:28 GMT

The parents of a 14-year-old girl are speaking out after they say an American Airlines flight attendant secretly recorded her using the bathroom on a flight to Boston earlier this month.In a statement, the family alleges that while on American Airlines flight 1441 from Charlotte to Boston on Sept. 2, their daughter “was targeted and victimized by a child predator who filmed her while using the bathroom.”“There is no doubt in our minds this was perpetrated by the lone male flight attendant on board, who directed her to use the first-class bathroom from coach, entered just before her “to wash his hands” – then telling her the seat was broken and “not to worry about it” – and reentering directly after she left. This sequence of events has been corroborated by other passengers on board. After using the toilet our daughter realized a largely obscured iPhone had been affixed to the back of the toilet seat to record her, and courageously took a pictu...

Inside the Orioles’ playoff-clinching clubhouse celebration, from a laundry cart shower to cork collecting

Orioles players, coaches and personnel funneled into the clubhouse after an 11-inning tussle with the Tampa Bay Rays, each donning bright orange shirts with “Take October” plastered across the chest. Manager Brandon Hyde lifted his hat slightly up off his forehead with a sigh of relief and raised a Budweiser in his right hand to address the plastic-wrapped room.“Wouldn’t have done it any other way today,” Hyde said of the Orioles’ 5-4 win that doubled their lead in the American League East and came soon after the Texas Rangers’ loss solidified the organization’s first trip to the playoffs since 2016. “Absolute grind. So proud of you guys this whole year.”With each word out of the fifth-year manager’s mouth, another bottle of champagne popped in anticipation of a moment this team has longed for. “The first step,” Hyde said. And again, “This is the first step,” as each bottle of Bouvet champagne ...

McCarthy trying to avoid government shutdown

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:04:28 GMT

Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he wants to avoid a U.S. government shutdown because it would undermine his party’s leverage in negotiations over spending cuts sought by Republicans.“I want to make sure we don’t shut down,” McCarthy said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. “I don’t think that is a win for the American public and I definitely believe it’ll make our hand weaker if we shut down.”With the federal government rapidly approaching its Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year, the Republican leader cited signs of progress on getting spending bills through the House. He didn’t provide specifics.Some House Republicans last week said they are convinced Congress won’t be able to avert a partial shutdown of many agencies or even reach a deal to temporarily extend government funding.McCarthy’s insistence on averting a shutdown has put him in a clash with House GOP conservatives who are calling for spending cuts, border security measures and other demands that Democrats have said they oppose. ...
