ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Shohei Ohtani took another sweet swing and went deep again for the Los Angeles Angels. After tying the game with a solo homer in the seventh, Ohtani went the opposite way for a two-run shot leading off the 12th inning to give the Angels their first lead as they rallied to beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 9-6 on Monday night.“I saw the ball really well and the results came with it,” Ohtani said through his translator. Ohtani hit the first pitch of the 12th off Cole Ragans (2-3) over the left-field wall. It was Ohtani’s eighth homer in 13 games, and his 20th of the season to overtake Aaron Judge for the American League lead. It was his 10th career multihomer game, the second in his recent surge.“He’s on a nice little streak. It’s fun to watch,” manager Phil Nevin said. “I see him having a lot of fun. … His emotion is showing.”The two-way star, who was the DH in the series opener and is scheduled to pitch the finale Thursday, ...

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — All along through the struggles of an awful start, manager Mark Kotsay kept pushing the positives while striving for sound, fundamental baseball.His Oakland Athletics are beginning to find a rhythm at last against some of baseball’s top teams.Shea Langeliers hit a three-run double in the fifth inning to break up a scoreless game, and the A’s won their season-high sixth straight with a 4-3 victory against the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.Ryan Noda added an RBI single in the fifth for the big league-worst A’s, finally riding some momentum after a weekend sweep in Milwaukee.

On paper in my eyes we have a lot...

Denver’s Nikola Jokic adds missing piece to impressive resume with NBA title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:05:19 GMT

DENVER (AP) — There are no more holes in Nikola Jokic’s impressive resume.Denver’s do-it-all center commandeered these playoffs, smashing a 56-year-old playoff record with 10 triple-doubles, and he completed a transcendent two-month stretch by leading the Nuggets past the Miami Heat 94-89 on Monday night in a hard-fought Game 5 to secure the old ABA franchise’s first basketball championship.Jokic had 28 points, 16 rebounds and four assists in the clincher that came 55 years, seven months and 28 days after the Nuggets won the first game in franchise history. Denver struggled shooting the ball against the pesky Heat, missing 23 of 28 shots from 3-point range and 10 of 23 free throws.“It was ugly and we couldn’t make shots. But at the end we figured it out,” Jokic said after hugging all of his jubilant teammates and coaches and almost all of his dejected opponents, chasing down some of them as they walked off the court. “I am just happy we won the game.”The stoic Jokic finally let loos...

Miller anchors 1-hitter, Mariners top Marlins 8-1 as Arraez’s average dips to .391

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:05:19 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Switching around the rotation gave Seattle rookie Bryce Miller an extra day of rest and more time to fret about his last start, when he failed to make it out of the third inning. “I had eight days to think about the last one in Texas, so I felt like I haven’t thrown in a month,” Miller said. “But yeah, it was good getting back out there, getting back on track and feeling good.” Miller and two relievers combined on a one-hitter, Ty France, Eugenio Suárez and Tom Murphy homered, and the Mariners opened an important six-game homestand with an 8-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday night.Following a disappointing 2-6 road trip that saw Seattle fall 10 games back in the AL West, the Mariners rediscovered a winning formula of strong starting pitching and a few big swings.“The road trip was tough, but what can you do about it now?” France said. “Just got to keep moving forward and got just under 100 games left, so gotta make the most of them.”Miller was superb, throw...

PHOENIX (AP) — Evan Longoria hit a three-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks withstood Philadelphia’s J.T. Realmuto hitting for the cycle to beat the Phillies 9-8 on Monday night.Two of baseball’s highest-scoring teams kicked off a four-game series by combining for 25 hits, including 10 for extra bases.Realmuto hit a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run triple in the third. He hit a double in the ninth inning to complete the cycle and scored on Bryson Stott’s single to cut Arizona’s lead to 9-8. Philadelphia’s Kody Clemens pinch-hit and thought he had hit a two-run homer off Miguel Castro, cheering as he circled the bases after the ball curled into the Phillies’ bullpen. The umpires ruled it a foul ball, confirmed it upon review and Castro struck out Clemens on the next pitch to end the game for his seventh save. Realmuto put the Phillies up 5-1 with his triple in the third inning, but the action picked up after the teams nearly came to...

Ending animal testing for good

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:05:19 GMT

It is a win-win situation: Developing animal-free safety methods and advancing safety science go hand in hand. Today, better safety science without animal testing is a scientific reality in many cases, but obstacles remain. One of them is that chemical regulations are still rooted in former safety science built on animal testing. To truly unlock the full power of existing non-animal safety science, we need regulatory change.Today’s customers are more astute and more conscious about the products they buy. People want to know what goes into them, where they come from, and what really sits behind the product labels. Is the product packaging environmentally friendly? Are ingredients sourced responsibly? Is a product tested on animals? These are just some of the wide-ranging ethical questions fueling shifts in consumer habits where science is an essential part of the solution.For more than 40 years, P&G has been working together with experts from academia, animal welfare organization...
