PHILADELPHIA — Alec Bohm conceded that, yes, the Phillies and Twins will never know how the game might have turned had a borderline called strike three been ruled ball four to drive in a run and bring Bryce Harper up with the bases loaded.But Bohm thought the Phillies were in the right to find out.Instead, Bohm slammed his bat in anger, got tossed from the game and his manager soon followed him into the clubhouse, ejected for arguing balls and strikes, in a 3-0 loss to the Twins on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar retired slugger Kyle Schwarber and fanned Bohm to escape a bases-loaded jam in the seventh that preserved a 2-0 lead.“He’s a fearless guy,” Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said of his veteran left-hander. ”That’s big-time stuff. Going in there, the crowd’s into the game, he goes at really good hitters and he beat them. He beat them today. I like giving him the ball.”The Twins added an insurance run in the ninth innin...

(NEXSTAR) — You may have an idea of how much alcohol your community drinks. There may even be a certain sense of pride regarding how much or how little that is. But recently released data helps illustrate which areas in the U.S. are prone to excessive drinking and which aren’t. Earlier this year, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute released its 2023 County Health Rankings and Roadmaps report, which is meant to raise awareness about factors that can impact health outcomes and disparities nationwide.Researchers use numerous data points to determine the length and quality of life on a state-by-state basis.

Rising pop artist Izza is just one of the people on the long list of victims of violent crimes across Los Angeles.However, she might be the only one who decided to turn her experiences into a song. The Encino native had several belongings stolen from her house in Aug. 2022, and while she was devastated to have lost her possessions, she was more focused on apprehending those who were responsible for taking them.  “I felt extreme loss and defeat, but even though I lost so many of my things, all I cared about was catching the robbers,” Izza said.  “I worked closely with the detective that was assigned to my case and although he tried his best, there were hundreds of other cases that took precedence over mine.” This wasn’t the only time Izza fell victim to a burglary; in 2020, she was followed home by a homeless man who then broke into her house, she said.  Video captures mob of robbers swarming Nordstrom in Topanga mall “I have also experienced frequent harassment and have ...

Raiders 34, 49ers 7: Trey Lance sacked four times in rough return

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:57:16 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Trey Lance’s first touchdown pass in 363 days never reached its intended receiver. Instead, it nearly got intercepted, and, eventually, it bounced into Ross Dwelley’s sure hands in the end zone.This, of course, is a great city to have luck turn your way.But the 49ers need Lance to be both lucky and good. Otherwise, his potential job as Brock Purdy’s backup will belong to Sam Darnold, who had a pedestrian debut after Lance’s shaky, first-half duty in Sunday’s preseason opener at the Raiders.The 34-7 final marked the most lopsided preseason loss in coach Kyle Shanahan’s seven seasons.San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley (82) scores a touchdown as Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Duke Shelley (23) defends during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023, in Las Vegas.

SAN FRANCISCO — It took a walk-off home run from Patrick Bailey in extra innings on Sunday for the Giants to salvage one win in their three-game series against their former manager’s new club.The Giants got a masterful performance from Logan Webb, but it was almost all wasted as manager Gabe Kapler pulled his starter with two outs in the ninth inning only for Camilo Doval to allow the Rangers to tie the game and take the lead in the 10th, before Bailey blasted a two-run walk-off homer over the Chevron sign in left field.The Giants won, 3-2, for only the second time in their past eight games, snapping a four-game losing streak.The Giants were one out away from winning in regulation when Kapler emerged from the dugout to a chorus of boos from the sunny afternoon crowd of 35,648.
