A severe storm, gale-force winds, even sunny day flooding — it wouldn’t take much for the bay water to come lapping up over the barrier and on to the shore, creating havoc in the coastal resort town.Maryland has experienced 51 days of “severe weather” — excessive heat, high winds, flooding, or some combination — in the past 18 months, according to Anna Sierra, chief development officer of the Maryland Department of Emergency Management.Sierra and two county emergency management officials who have dealt with some of the state’s biggest recent disasters spoke on a panel Thursday at the Maryland...

Trea Turner hits 2 of the Phillies’ 5 home runs in a 12-3, come-from-behind win over Nationals

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:46:04 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trea Turner hit two home runs in an eight-run eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies went deep five times on Saturday, rallying for a 12-3 win over the Washington Nationals.Nick Castellanos, Jake Cave and Bryson Stott also homered for Philadelphia, which began the day two games ahead of San Francisco in the race for the top wild-card spot in the National League. The Phillies had lost four of five.Turner became the first Phillies player to hit two home runs in an inning since Von Hayes accomplished the feat on June 11, 1985, in the first inning against the New York Mets.“I’ve never hit two home runs in an inning,” Turner said. “I told the broadcast I’m usually the guy that makes two outs in those innings. There’s always one of those guys, and I feel like it’s usually me. It’s probably not, but that’s what it feels like, and to be on the other side of it was definitely a lot more fun.”Riley Adams drove in two runs for Washington, which had won six of its last se...

NEW YORK (AP) — Until a couple of days ago, Luis Urias of the Boston Red Sox had never hit a grand slam in the Major Leagues. Now the light-hitting infielder is in a category with Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx.Urias become the first Red Sox player to hit grand slams on consecutive pitches and the first in 80 years to hit slams in consecutive games in leading Boston to an 8-1 victory over the fading Yankees Saturday, sending New York to its seventh straight loss.Urias cleared the based in his last at bat against Washington reliever Robert Garcia on Thursday night and the ninth-place hitter stunned Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in the second inning with a blast to left center.Urias, who was acquired from Milwaukee in a deal at the trade deadline, is the first Red Sox to hit grand slams in consecutive games since Foxx on May 20-21 in 1940. He also is the first player in the majors to hit grand slams in consecutive trips to the plate since Josh Willingham with Washington in 2009.Before hitting th...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:46:04 GMT

Alek Manoah has yet to make a start for triple-A Buffalo, eight days after he was optioned there by the Toronto Blue Jays.Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Saturday that Manoah remains in Toronto and the date for his next start has not been determined.Manoah was optioned down to the minors for the second time this season on Aug. 11 and told to focus on refining his pitch delivery.

He was optioned to the Florida Complex League on June 6 and made one start at that level plus one start at double-A before re-joining the Blue Jays in early July.Schneider said that the strategy with Manoah is similar to his earlier stint in the FCL where he worked through his pitches separately at the team’s spring training complex in Dunedin...

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will make a brief visit to the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant on Sunday to highlight the safety of an impending release of treated radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, a divisive plan that his government wants to start soon despite protests at home and abroad.His trip comes hours after he returned home Saturday from a summit with U.S. and South Korean leaders at the American presidential retreat of Camp David. Before leaving Washington on Friday, Kishida said it is time to make a decision on the treated water’s release date, which has not been set due to the controversy surrounding the plan.Since the government announced the release plan two years ago, it has faced strong opposition from Japanese fishing organizations, which worry about further damage to the reputation of their seafood as they struggle to recover from the accident. Groups in South Korea and China have also raised concerns, turning it into a ...
