BOSTON (AP) — Kerry Carpenter hit two solo homers and the Detroit Tigers cleared Fenway Park’s Green Monster four times in a 6-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.Spencer Torkelson and Eric Haase also homered for the Tigers, who snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Red Sox, one day after losing the series opener. Torkelson finished 4 for 4 and Riley Greene added an RBI single.“That was pretty fun, kind of like a dream come true. Never thought I would do it,” Carpenter said of his two shots over Fenway’s fabled left-field wall.Carpenter said he was trying to hit homers over the Monster during batting practice.“That’s pretty much all I was doing the past couple of days, taking shots at it just for fun,” he said, smiling. “It ended up paying off. I haven’t put any over in BP, but I got a couple in the game.”Justin Turner hit a solo homer for Boston, which had won four of its last five games and closed the gap in the race f...Brayan Bello’s struggles continue, bats fall silent as Red Sox lose 6-2 to Tigers

Brayan Bello’s emergence as a dependable starting pitcher has been one of the biggest developments of the Red Sox season, but lately the second-year standout has run into some trouble.Those struggles continued Saturday as the right-hander labored through his latest outing, allowing four runs on nine hits in Boston’s 6-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Red Sox pitchers allowed four home runs, including two to outfielder Kerry Carpenter, and the offense couldn’t make the most of the few chances they created, going 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position.It was clear early on that Bello didn’t have it, and while he was able to avoid serious damage with a couple of well-timed double plays, the Tigers were all over him throughout. Still, Alex Cora said afterwards he felt the Tigers deserved a lot of credit for their performance offensively and that he’s more concerned about his own lineup’s lack of production.“Offensively we’re better than th...Watch on FOX 5: Chargers vs. Rams preseason game

NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Jones, the lyricist, director and writer of “The Fantasticks,” the longest-running musical in history, has died. He was 95.Jones died Friday at his home in Sharon, Connecticut, according to Dan Shaheen, a co-producer of “The Fantasticks,” who worked with Jones since the 1980s. The cause was cancer.Jones, who teamed up with composer Harvey Schmidt on “The Fantasticks” and the Broadway shows “110 in the Shade” and “I Do! I Do!,” was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1998.“The Fantasticks,” based on an obscure play by Edmond Rostand, doesn’t necessarily have the makings of a hit. The set is just a platform with poles, a curtain and a wooden box.The tale, a mock version of “Romeo and Juliet,” concerns a young girl and boy, secretly brought together by their fathers, and an assortment of odd characters.Scores of actors have appeared in the show, from the opening cast in 1960 that included Jerry Orbach and Rita Gardner, to stars such ...DeSantis: Hunter Biden investigation is 'gonna be a total sham' with special counsel

(The Hill) — Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Saturday that the investigation into Hunter Biden is going to be a “total sham,” following U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss’ appointment as special counsel.“The House, they've been working on supposedly holding Hunter Biden accountable," DeSantis told reporters at the Iowa State Fair. "And like, I don't know what these guys are doing, but I think this special counsel, I think they're trying to checkmate that investigation." Florida Republican rep. files articles of impeachment against Biden “This is gonna be a total sham special counsel,” he continued. “You got the same guy who had been doing it with kid gloves anyways. And I think they're trying to kneecap the House’s ability to investigate. I'd like to see them get more mileage out of that Hunter Biden investigation. We want to see results.”Weiss, who has been overseeing the investigation into Biden since 2018, was elevated to special coun...Inspectors find bed bugs at several Las Vegas Strip hotels

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The City of Austin hosted a celebration Saturday morning to mark the redevelopment of the former site of the Home Depot store in north Austin.The site, located at 7211 N. Interstate 35, is officially called the St. John Site. That location held significant historical importance for the Black community, according to an announcement from a group representing that modern community. The site’s roots trace back to the 1890s when the St. John Regular Missionary Baptist Association obtained 350 acres north of Austin to establish a freedman community with the St. John Industrial Institute and Orphanage as its anchor, according to the city.The city acquired the site in 2008 and worked with the St. John community to create a plan, which was adopted in 2020.According to a City of Austin release announcing the demolition, the city planned a free, family-friendly event for Saturday that featured live music, local performances, children’s activities and breakfast tacos.P...Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell talks running back Kareem Hunt’s visit

Less than 24 hours after a source confirmed to the Pioneer Press that veteran running back Kareem Hunt indeed visited the Vikings, head coach Kevin O’Connell talked openly on Saturday about the possibility of him being on the roster.“Just trying to build the relationship and gain a little bit more information,” O’Connell said. “Maybe a potential fit on our football team.”Though general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has a previous relationship with Hunt dating back to their shared time with the Cleveland Browns, he did not sign the 28-year-old, who has also visited the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts over the past week.It’s pretty clear what Hunt would bring to the mix as a primary backup to starter Alexander Mattison. He was the NFL’s leading rusher as a rookie in 2017, finishing with 1,327 rushing yards while playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was cut in 2018 after a video surfaced of Hunt kicking a woman in a hotel.Aft...Latest news
