PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bryan Reynolds homered and drove in six runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrated Andrew McCutchen’s homecoming with a 13-9 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the third and a bases-clearing triple in the fifth. Reynolds popped up and raced home when the relay throw from Chicago second baseman Elvis Andrus skipped by third baseman Yoán Moncada. Reynolds’ five home runs this season are the most by a Pirate through seven games since Hall of Famer Willie Stargell in 1971. McCutchen, who signed a one-year deal in January to rejoin the team he starred for earlier in his career, went 2 for 5 in his first game at PNC Park as a member of the Pirates since September 2017.The five-time All-Star and 2013 National League MVP received a loud ovation when he stepped to the plate in the first. Home plate umpire Ryan Wills, making an exception to MLB’s new pitch-clock rules, allowing the 36-year-old McCutchen to take in the m...

Chicago Bulls focused on finding an early spark in their must-win play-in game: ‘We’ve got to come out and be the aggressor’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

The Chicago Bulls have come out slow in the final week of the season, losing the first quarters of their last three games entering Friday and struggling to dig themselves out of first-half deficits. As he prepares his players for their first taste of single elimination in the NBA play-in tournament, coach Billy Donovan knows that is no longer an option.If the Bulls don’t strike first Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors or Atlanta Hawks, their season could come to a crashing halt.“There’s no question that at times we’re taking the temperature to see how the game’s being played,” Donovan said. “And I do think that we’ve got to come out and be the aggressor. Sometimes what’s happening is the fight is getting dictated early. You want to be the one forcing other people to respond.”The play-in tournament, which began in 2021, has the Nos. 7-10 seeds battling for the final two playoff spots in each conference, creating higher st...

Orioles players felt a ‘buzz’ during a home-opening victory. They hope it’s just the start.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

Grayson Rodriguez didn’t pitch Friday, but he still garnered one of the loudest cheers during the Orioles’ home opener.Judging by the pregame player introductions at Camden Yards, the top pitching prospect, who made his MLB debut Wednesday in his home state of Texas, is already one of the most popular players on the team.“It felt like a dream,” Rodriguez said. “Man, that atmosphere was awesome. It’s something I’ve really dreamed about, something I’ve really wanted to experience as a player. It was just fantastic.”The pomp and circumstance of the day wasn’t dampened by the postponement of the original home opener Thursday, nor the chilly, overcast afternoon. It helped that the Orioles beat the New York Yankees, 7-6, to improve to 4-3 on the season.Baltimore fans still packed the park with a sellout attendance of 45,017 and performed all the typical duties — shouting “O” during the national anthem, booing ri...

Maryland lawmakers work on cannabis, guns, near session end

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers kept working Friday on passing some remaining priority measures of the Democratic-led legislature in the waning days of the session. At the top of the list: bills to enable a recreational marijuana market to open July 1 and to respond to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last year that expanded gun rights.With the session set to end at midnight Monday, a sense of urgency was setting in for supporters of bills that had not yet been passed by the General Assembly in the 90-day session. Police led seven protesters away in handcuffs in front of the Capitol, as they rallied to urge lawmakers to pass a bill that would enable any resident to enroll in a health plan through the state’s Health Benefit Exchange, regardless of their immigration status. The measure called the Access to Care Act has passed the House but has not advanced in the Senate.Sen. Melony Griffith, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, told reporters later in the day that th...

Access to abortion pill in limbo after competing rulings

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Access to the most commonly used method of abortion in the U.S. plunged into uncertainty Friday following conflicting court rulings over the legality of the abortion medication mifepristone that has been widely available for more than 20 years.For now, the drug the Food and Drug Administration approved in 2000 appeared to remain at least immediately available in wake of two separate rulings that were issued just minutes apart by federal judges in Texas and Washington.U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, ordered a hold on federal approval of mifepristone in a decision that overruled decades of scientific approval. But that decision came at nearly same time that U.S. District Judge Thomas O. Rice, an Obama appointee, essentially ordered the opposite and directed U.S. authorities not to make any changes that would restrict access to the drug in at least 17 states where Democrats sued in an effort to protect availability. The extraordinary timin...

Chasing Horse sex abuse charges upheld, drug crime dropped

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge on Friday threw out a drug trafficking charge against a “Dances With Wolves” actor but upheld a Las Vegas grand jury’s sweeping indictment on 18 sexual abuse-related felony crimes.In her order issued late Friday afternoon, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said state prosecutors presented enough evidence for “a reasonable grand jury to conclude that the sexual assaults occurred against two minors” but found that “there was no substantive testimony” connecting Nathan Chasing Horse to the psilocybin mushrooms investigators found while searching his home. Chasing Horse, 46, had asked Kierny to toss the entire indictment, saying his accusers wanted to have sex with him and that the mushrooms found inside a refrigerator in his home did not belong to him. One of his accusers was younger than 16 — the age of consent in Nevada — when she says Chasing Horse began abusing her. Public defender Kristy Holston said she had no comment on the judg...

Utah man who killed wife, 5 kids left suicide note

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:03:25 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah man who fatally shot his wife, her mother and their five kids left a suicide note saying he “would rather rot in hell” than continue being controlled by his wife, investigators wrote in a report released on Friday.“This is nonsense and I can’t handle it for one more day. We will not be a burden on society. I kept asking for help and you wouldn’t listen,” Michael Haight, 42, wrote in a suicide note included in the report.“I would rather rot in hell than to put up with another day of this manipulation and control over me,” Haight wrote.The suicide note marks a contrast from other revelations included in the 57-page page investigative report released by the city of Enoch on Friday, in which Haight, not his wife, is described as controlling and abusive in texts from his kids and by community members interviewed after the tragedy.The report builds off documents released after the tragedy that described Haight as the subject of a child abuse ...
