Athletics win fourth straight, beat Brewers 2-1 in 10 innings

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:41:08 GMT

For the time being, the Athletics have thrown it into reverse.A well-placed RBI single by Aledmys Diaz put the A’s up 2-1 in the top of the 10th inning Saturday and Sam Long closed it out against the host Milwaukee Brewers for their fourth straight victory and second straight series win.The A’s improved to 16-50, have a chance to sweep the Brewers (34-31) Sunday and come home with a a 5-4 record on their longest road trip of the season — one that began with four straight losses.The A’s hadn’t won four straight games since 2021 under Bob Melvin, never winning that many in a row at any time in last year’s 102-loss season.The Athletics got six shutout innings from Paul Blackburn, who looked like the guy who pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star game a year ago before his season went south due to injuries and dealt with middle finger issues most of this season.The bullpen made just one mistake — an 0-1 grooved slider by Richard Lovelady tha...

Contra Costa: Man accused of serial indecent exposure appeared to target Monte Vista High School, police say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:41:08 GMT

DANVILLE — On the morning of last March 13, a 17-year-old Monte Vista High School student had just parked her car on campus and was walking to class when she heard a man’s voice say, “Hi.”When the she turned, the girl saw a pants-less adult male, sitting in a four-door sedan, and very obviously masturbating in front of her. After a few seconds she overcame her shock and headed into school, then wasted no time to call police.Over the next 10 days, police not only identified a suspect, but linked him to several other similar indecent exposure incidents in Walnut Creek and Berkeley. When he was arrested, police say his phone showed a strong indicator that he’d driven to Danville looking to expose himself to a child: he allegedly searched for Monte Vista High School on Google Maps just eight minutes before the 17-year-old was accosted.The suspect, identified in court records as 40-year-old Monroe Lebeau III, was charged May 26 with six counts of indecent ex...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:41:08 GMT

NEW YORK — Arcangelo took the lead at the top of the stretch and won the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, making Jena Antonucci the first female trainer to win the race in its 155 years.After the horse crossed the finish line, Antonucci doubled over and rested her arm and her head on the back of a chair. She kissed the horse on the nose when it returned to the area in front of the winner’s circle.Arcangelo finished the 1 1/2-mile race in 2:29.23 and by 1 1/2 lengths in front of favored Fotre, with Tapit Trice third.“I give all the credit to the horse,” said jockey Javier Castello, who rode Mage to victory in the Kentucky Derby and got this mount when that colt did not run in the Belmont. “This is a wonderful horse. I’m really happy for her, you know, she’s a really good woman. She’s a good horseman.”The heart-warming victory put a positive note on a Triple Crown series marred by deaths of horses at Churchill Downs in the weeks around the Kentucky Derby and another on Preakness day ...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rookie Bobby Miller won for the third time in four starts, J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Philadelphia 9-0 on Saturday after the ejection of Phillies manager Rob Thomson in a pitch clock flap.David Peralta homered, doubled and drove in a run for the Dodgers, who won for just the second time in seven games. Mookie Betts added a pair of hits and two RBIs.Miller (3-0) allowed three hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked three, lowering his ERA to 0.78.“It’s definitely a little bit of a confidence builder,” Miller said. “That’s a really good lineup, so I really had to lock in and focus in on getting all my pitches today.”The 24-year-old right-hander joined Kenta Maeda in 2016 as the only Dodgers pitchers since at least 1901 to pitch five or more innings and allowed one run or none in his first four appearances.“His slider’s come a long way; he’s made a couple adjustments since he got here, and it’s been great,” Dodgers ...
