A’s score in 9th, beat Reds 5-4 to stop 9-game home skid

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:08:59 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Esteury Ruiz was absolutely certain he got hit by a pitch to load the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning. When he got called back to home plate by umpires after a replay review overturned the call, it appeared to be just another wacky situation in a season full of them for the Oakland Athletics.Instead, Ruiz turned it into a potentially pivotal moment for the struggling A’s when he singled in the winning run and Oakland beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Sunday to end its nine-game home losing streak.“It’s something you can’t put words to,” Ruiz said through translator Sergio Almodovar when asked about his first career walk-off hit. “We’ve been starting off slow but little by little we’ve been working and working. A game like this is something we can build on.”Jesús Aguilar and Brent Rooker homered for the A’s. The victory prevented Oakland (6-23) from having the worst 29-game start to a season since the 2003 Detroit Tigers opened 4-25. The crowd of 18,271 w...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — After a game that felt like a home run derby, Matt Carpenter expected Sunday could be more of the same. It was not.Carpenter capped an eighth-inning rally with a tiebreaking, two-run double off the glove of diving centerfielder Mike Yastrzemsk i, and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 for a two-game sweep of Major League Baseball’s first regular-season series in Mexico City.A day after winning an 11-home run thriller 16-11, the Padres overcame a 4-0 deficit with three runs in the fifth and three in the eighth.“After last night´s game you go to bed thinking that this one was going to be similar and it had a different feeling and we kind of have to play it a more traditional ballgame,” Carpenter said. In the thin air of Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, 7,349 feet above sea level, the first inning turned into another power display when Lamonte Wade Jr. led off with a home run off Yu Darvish.Then the game settled down and the crowd, a majority supp...

McLaughlin nabs IndyCar win at Barber over Grosjean

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:08:59 GMT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Scott McLaughlin was once again racing Romain Grosjean for a potential win. That’s where the similarities to their last run-in ended.McLaughlin got a late opening to surge past Grosjean, took advantage of it and was scarcely challenged the rest of the way Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park, where the New Zealander picked up his fourth career IndyCar win. It was the second time this season they’ve been in that position, but this time McLaughlin and Grosjean avoided getting tangled up. Grosjean had been furious with McLaughlin when the two touched heading into a corner at the season-opener in St. Petersburg, Florida, both slamming into a tire barrier. McLaughlin drew an avoidable contact penalty and later apologized to Grosjean. After winning Sunday, McLaughlin said “there’s no hard feelings” between the two. McLaughlin had hugged Grosjean after their race-ending crash at St. Pete. “I knew if I hit him this time, it would be bad,” McLaughlin said. “I...
