Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Jarred Kelenic’s two-run single capped Seattle’s big fifth inning against All-Star Sonny Gray, and Eugenio Suárez added a two-run homer in the seventh as the Mariners beat the Minnesota Twins 7-6 on Monday night.The Mariners overcame a shaky first few innings on the mound from Logan Gilbert to hand Gray his second straight loss and snap the Twins’ three-game win streak coming out of the All-Star break.Minnesota made it interesting in the ninth when Max Kepler hit a three-run homer with two outs off reliever Ty Adcock to pull within 7-6. Seattle closer Paul Sewald entered and struck out Ryan Jeffers for his 19th save. Gray cruised through four innings but fell apart in the fifth as Seattle sent nine batters to the plate and scored four times.

Most Brits reckon Brexit has failed, new poll finds

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

LONDON — Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage thinks Brexit has failed. Almost two-thirds of Brits seem to agree with him.According to a YouGov poll released Tuesday, 63 percent of Britons now consider Brexit to have been more of a failure than a success — the latest piece of research which points to anti-Brexit sentiment in the U.K. three years on from the country’s formal exit from the EU. Just 12 percent of those asked see Brexit as more of a success than a failure, while 18 percent said it was neither.The gloomy view of Brexit brings Brits into line with Farage, one of the biggest advocates of the country’s departure from the European Union. The former Brexit Party leader told the BBC in May that the U.K. had not benefited economically from leaving the bloc, blaming the ruling Conservatives for having “let us down very, very badly.”The YouGov polling shows 58 percent of those who voted to leave the EU in 2016 now think the government is handling Britain’s ex...

How Chicago Cubs top pick Matt Shaw was helped by the Cape Cod League and a former Red Sox World Series champ

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

Any time Jarrod Saltalamacchia had someone inquire in the offseason about one of the top collegiate players in the 2023 draft, Matt Shaw, the former big-leaguer told them all the same thing.“Listen, he checks every box,” Saltalamacchia would say. “If you pass on this kid, this guy is for sure one of those no doubt going to get to the big leagues, going to have success, he’s going to be a dynamic player.”Saltalamacchia had seen firsthand how impactful Shaw can be when he served as the assistant coach on Shaw’s Cape Cod League team, the Bourne Braves, last summer where the now 21-year-old shortstop took the next step in his development en route to becoming the Chicago Cubs’ first-round pick last week.“He’s just an unbelievable kid,” Saltalamacchia told the Tribune. “He can play all the positions. He’s a great teammate and he’s always working with other guys. It’s a kid you definitely want in your organ...

Yankees Notebook: Josh Donaldson’s future up in the air following high-grade calf strain

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

ANAHEIM — Josh Donaldson’s MRI results are in, and they’re not encouraging for the 37-year-old third baseman.“It’s a pretty high strain, which means that there’s a tear,” Donaldson said of a right calf injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. “They said it’s not very big. But I don’t know the timetable or anything like that. It’s kind of just everybody responds a little bit differently is [what] they kind of told me.”Donaldson, speaking before the Yankees’ series-opener in Anaheim on Monday, said that team doctors diagnosed him with a Grade 2-plus strain, while a second opinion determined he has a Grade 3 strain. He said he was still feeling “pretty sore.”Donaldson said his calf has been bothering him for the last week or so, but he felt he could play through it. However, he aggravated the injury during the Yankees’ Saturday win over the Rockies after hitting a ...

Mystery object that washed up on the Australian coast could be space junk, officials say

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Authorities were investigating on Tuesday whether a cylindrical object about the size of a small car that washed up on a remote Australian beach is space junk from a foreign rocket.Police had cordoned off the object after it was discovered at Green Head about 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of the city of Perth late Sunday.The Australian Space Agency said it was liaising with other space agencies to identify the object, which appears to be partly made of a woven material.“The object could be from a foreign space launch vehicle and we are liaising with global counterparts who may be able to provide more information,” the agency tweeted.European Space Agency engineer Andrea Boyd said her colleagues believed the item that washed up from the Indian Ocean fell from an Indian rocket while launching a satellite.“We’re pretty sure, based on the shape and the size, it is an upper-stage engine from an Indian rocket that’s used for a lot of different missions,” she ...

Dingoes attack a woman jogging on Australian island beach and leave her hospitalised

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A pack of dingoes drove a woman who was jogging into the surf and attacked her in the latest clash between native dogs and humans on a popular Australian island, sparking new warnings Tuesday to visitors venturing out. The 24-year-old woman was attacked by three or four dingoes on Monday while she was jogging on a beach at Queensland state’s K’gari, the world’s largest sand island formerly known as Fraser Island, officials said.The World Heritage-listed national park is home to some of Australia’s purest dingoes, which are also known by their Indigenous name wongari, because domestic dogs have long been banned. Tourists returned to the island after pandemic restrictions were lifted, and have found the dingoes have become less wary of humans. That’s raised the danger to both species, wildlife ranger Linda Behrendorff said.Two passersby rescued the woman from the dingoes after they chased her into the surf, using the same hunting technique they use for...

German director of Florence’s Accademia Gallery who fought for David’s image worries for job

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

MILAN (AP) — The German director of Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia has succeeded in drawing visitors’ attention to masterpieces beyond Michelangelo’s towering David, while winning landmark court cases to protect the marble masterpiece’s familiar image against misuse.But even as Cecilie Hollberg highlights her achievements at Italy’s second-most-visited museum since arriving in 2015, rumors circulate that Italy’s far-right-led government intends to send her packing before her contract expires next year as it seeks to put more Italians in top cultural jobs.It would be deja vu all over again. In 2019, another right-wing government fired Hollberg on short notice, and put the Accademia under the control of another Florence landmark, the Uffizi museum. She was reinstated the following year and the Accademia’s autonomy restored after that government fell.Hollberg said she can’t explain why the Accademia’s role as an independent museum is again under siege. She said sh...

Spain’s early election could put the far right in power for the first time since Franco

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:25 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s general election on Sunday could make the country the latest European Union member swing to the populist right, a shift that would represent a major upheaval after five years under a left-wing government. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the early election after his Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party and its small far-left coalition partner, Unidas Podemos (“United We Can”), took a beating in local and regional elections. The center-right Popular Party emerged from the May 28 elections with the most votes. Polls for the general election have consistently put the PP in first place — but likely needing support from the far-right Vox party to form a government.Such a coalition would return a far-right force to the Spanish government for the first time since the country transitioned to democracy following the 1975 death of Gen. Francisco Franco, the dictator who ruled Spain for nearly 40 years. The Popular Party and Vox have agreed to govern together i...
