Soler homers in 5th straight game, Marlins beat Angels 8-5 in 10 innings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:24:32 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Although the Miami Marlins survived Shohei Ohtani’s latest start and traded the lead with Los Angeles down the stretch, they were pretty much out of relief pitchers when they headed into the 10th inning.Thanks to two big hits and two bad defensive plays by the Angels, the Marlins had just enough pitching to keep up their recent road surge.Jorge Soler homered in his fifth consecutive game, and pinch-hitter Garrett Cooper had a tiebreaking double during the Marlins’ four-run 10th Saturday night in their 8-5 victory over Ohtani and the Angels.Cooper hit a long fly to left-center off Jaime Barria (1-2), and Mickey Moniak couldn’t make the tough catch after sprinting to get under it. Miami scored another run when video review determined catcher Matt Thaiss hadn’t touched home plate while turning an inning-ending double play, and Garrett Hampson added a two-run single to punctuate the Marlins’ third win in four games.“It’s a testa...

China’s 1st domestically made passenger plane completes maiden commercial flight

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:24:32 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China’s first domestically made passenger jet flew its maiden commercial flight on Sunday, as China looks to compete with industry giants such as Boeing and Airbus in the global aircraft market.The C919 plane, built by the Commercial Aviation Corporation of China, carried about 130 passengers on the flight, according to state-owned newspaper China Daily. The jet took off Sunday morning from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and landed less than two hours later in Beijing.The flight was operated by state-owned China Eastern Airlines and the side of the plane was emblazoned with the words: “The World’s First C919.”The inaugural flight comes as COMAC looks to break into the single-aisle jet market in a direct challenge to Airbus and Boeing. Airbus’s A320 and Boeing’s B737 jets are the most popular aircrafts typically used for domestic and regional flights.While COMAC designed many of the C919’s parts, some of its key components are still sourced from the West, including it...

Pero aunque no estaba disponible, la estrella israelí acabó sirviendo como una especie de plantilla por la que Robbie y Greta Gerwig –que coescribe y dirige “Barbie”– tomaron otras decisiones de casting.“Gal Gadot es la energía de Barbie”, dijo Robbie. “Porque Gal Gadot es tan increíblemente bella, pero no la odias por serlo porque es tan genuinamente sincera y tan entusiásticamente amable, que es casi ridícula. Es como justo antes de ser una tonta”.Barbie y Ken exploran el “mundo real” y cómo es la vida co...

Celtics excited for what should be ‘electric’ Game 7 in Boston: ‘This is special’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:24:32 GMT

MIAMI — It’s coming back to Boston.Somehow, some way, after Derrick White’s buzzer-beating tip-in won an epic Game 6, the Celtics have responded to a 3-0 series deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals to force a Game 7 on Monday night at TD Garden, where history can be made.No team in NBA history has won a best-of-seven series from a 3-0 hole. One-hundred fifty teams have failed. The Celtics are only the fourth to force a Game 7. Not only can they become the first, they would advance to the NBA Finals for the second consecutive season in doing so.Monday night – on Memorial Day, no less – at the Garden promises to be one of the craziest home environments the Celtics have experienced in recent memory.“I’ve never been so excited to go back to Boston in my life, and I cannot wait to see all the fans on Monday because it’s going to be fun,” Jayson Tatum said.The Celtics have been unable to avoid the comparisons to the 2004 Red Sox, who became the first team in baseball histo...

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Voters in Turkey returned to the polls Sunday to decide whether the country’s longtime leader stretches his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade or is unseated by a challenger who has promised to restore a more democratic society.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been at Turkey’s helm for 20 years, is favored to win a new five-year term in the second-round runoff after coming just short of an outright victory in the first round on May 14.The divisive populist who turned his country into a geopolitical player finished four percentage points ahead of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the candidate of a six-party alliance and leader of Turkey’s center-left main opposition party. Erdogan’s performance came despite crippling inflation and the effects of a devastating earthquake three months ago.Kilicdaroglu (pronounced KEH-lich-DAHR-OH-loo), a 74-year-old former bureaucrat, has described the runoff as a referendum on the country’s future.More than 64 million ...
