All-Star rookie Corbin Carroll uses his speed to help the Diamondbacks beat the Mariners 4-3

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:25:17 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Rookie sensation Corbin Carroll is among the National League’s leaders in homers, triples and stolen bases.If there was a category for being a big ol’ pain in the rear end on the basepaths, he’d be right near the top of that leaderboard as well.Carroll started an eighth-inning rally with some distracting base running, Dominic Canzone brought his fellow rookie home with a single for the go-ahead run and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Saturday night.Carroll started the decisive rally in the eighth with a walk off reliever Andrés Muñoz. The All-Star then advanced to second on a balk by Muñoz (2-4) and stole third against the flat-footed Mariners infield a few pitches later. Seattle pulled its infield in with one out before Canzone delivered a chopper that bounced through to break the 3-all tie.“It’s just a classic case of being prepped and being ready,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said about Carroll’s aggressive ...

Tim Anderson’s 1st homer of the season sparks the Chicago White Sox in a 7-2 win against the Cleveland Guardians

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:25:17 GMT

Tim Anderson touched the plate after hitting his first homer of the season and returned to a less than filled Chicago White Sox dugout.After a moment, teammates spilled back in and greeted the shortstop with high-fives and hugs.“I was wondering where everybody went,” Anderson said. “But it was a cool moment. I was happy to finally get it out of the way.”Anderson’s blast leading off the bottom of the first, his first of three hits, served as a jump-start for the Sox in a 7-2 victory against the Cleveland Guardians in front of 26,299 on Saturday at Guaranteed Rate Field.“I was more so worried about getting my swing back, not really worried about homers,” Anderson said. “I knew if I could try to find my swing then everything else would come back. Just been working on trying to find my swing and it showed tonight.”It was his first home run since July 15 of last season in Minneapolis, a span of 97 games. He missed most of the last two...

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:25:17 GMT

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Hundreds of new laws will take effect Tuesday in North Dakota, including greater enforcement of seat belt use and restrictions regarding gender identity, sexual content in public libraries and ownership of farmland by foreign entities.North Dakota’s Republican-controlled Legislature adjourned April 30 after writing new laws and budgets for the next two years.

Russian missile attacks leave few options for Ukrainian farmers looking to export grain

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:25:17 GMT

PAVLIVKA, Ukraine (AP) — The summer winds carried the smell of burned grain across the southern Ukrainian steppe and away from the shards of three Russian cruise missiles that struck the unassuming metal hangars.The agricultural company Ivushka applied for accreditation to export grain this year, but the strike in mid-July destroyed a large portion of the stock, days after Russia abandoned the grain deal that would have allowed the shipments across the Black Sea without fear of attack.Men shirtless and barefoot, with blackened soles from ash, swept unburnt grain into piles and awaited the loader, whose driver deftly steered around twisted metal shrapnel, bits of missile and craters despite his shattered windshield.They hoped to beat the next rain to rescue what was left of the crop. According to the Odesa Regional Prosecutor’s Office, Russia struck the facility July 21 with three Kalibr- and Onyx-class cruise missiles. “We don’t have a clue why they did it,” explained Olha Romanova,...
