Burnes stays hot as Brewers blank Phillies, 4-0

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:30:35 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Corbin Burnes continued his torrid July, allowing two hits while striking out 10 in eight innings Thursday as the Milwaukee Brewers concluded their six-game road trip with a 4-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Christian Yelich connected on a three-run homer off Philadelphia starter Taijuan Walker in the third inning that would give Burnes the cushion he would need for the afternoon. Yelich finished 3-for-4. Milwaukee went 5-1 on the trip through Cincinnati and Philadelphia- two teams that were hot heading into the All-Star Break. The Brewers began the unofficial second half of the season one-half game behind the Reds for the lead in the National League Central. They now have a 2 1/2 game lead over the Reds. After struggling through June with a 1-1 record and a 4.99 ERA in five starts, Burnes has reverted to the form that saw him win the 2021 National League Cy Young Award. Burnes is 4-0 for the month with a 1.33 ERA and has allowed eight hits combined while s...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:30:35 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The mid-July heat is relentless and a day’s worth of rain isn’t going to save your browning plants.  “In the summer, it's getting hotter, temperatures are rising, the air quality is drier. Keeping your plants hydrated is going to be key,” said Lauren Silver, a plant manager at a trendy plant shop named The Marigold.  How can you protect your garden from Denver’s upcoming storm? Before you give up on your green thumb here are a few of Silver’s tips for reviving your potted plants during some of the hottest days of the summer: 1. Water, water, water Even if the plant is only supposed to be watered once a day, extreme heat calls for exceptional measures. If the leaves are wilting, wrinkly, drooping or curling, Silver said that’s the biggest indicator that the plant needs more water.  But don’t overwater it either. The soil should be moist, not soupy, Silver said. 2. Keep an eye on the sun exposure The sun is more direct in the ...

Hungary doesn’t want €20B fund for Ukraine military — for now

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:30:35 GMT

Hungary is emerging as the biggest hurdle for the EU’s attempt to set up a long-term fund of up to €20 billion to keep Ukraine’s military stocked. The plan, first reported by POLITICO earlier this week, was on the agenda for the first time Thursday as foreign ministers met in Brussels. The proposal would set aside at least €5 billion a year for the next four years to help cover the costs of EU countries buying and donating weapons for Ukraine and training Ukraine’s forces.But during the meeting, Hungary — which has argued Ukraine should stop fighting — said it would object to the fund until Ukraine removes a controversial Hungarian bank, OTP, from its “war sponsors” list. Until then, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said his country will not authorize more money for the EU’s so-called European Peace Facility — the ironically named fund Brussels has been using to subsidize weapons shipments to Ukraine. “We ca...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:30:35 GMT

MOSCOW (AP) — Mercenaries from Russian military company Wagner launched joint drills with the Belarusian military on Thursday, almost a month after their short-lived rebellion against Moscow. Poland built up troops on its border with Belarus in response to the war games.The maneuvers followed a pledge by Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin to help protect Belarus from a potential incursion and to bolster its military. The Belarusian Defense Ministry said the weeklong drills would take place at a firing range near Brest, a city on the Polish border.A video released Wednesday appeared to show Prigozhin for the first time since he led last month’s mutiny. The recording shows him telling his troops that before deploying to Africa, they would spend some time in Belarus providing training to help “make the Belarusian army the second strongest army in the world.”Before the abortive rebellion led by Prigozhin, Wagner mercenaries fought alongside Russ...

Few Storms Friday, Wonderful Weekend

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:30:35 GMT

We had to wait quite a while for a day like today but we finally got it! Sunshine, no smoke, low humidity, and warm temperatures… it was beautiful today! Unfortunately tomorrow isn’t quite as nice. That doesn’t mean it’s terrible, but it’s not a repeat of today. We’ll have more clouds tomorrow and higher humidity back. Some of us will deal with storms in the afternoon, but others will stay dry until late in the evening.Storms will move in west to east but VERY SLOWLY. So the farther west you are, the more likely storms will be in the afternoon and evening. By 4pm you can see storms popping up across southern New Hampshire and Worcester County, but they don’t really make it to Boston and the 95 corridor until after 10pm!That’ll make it’s way out overnight and set up a wonderful weekend! Sun will return, humidity will drop, and temperatures will stay warm. There’s a small (10%) chance of a shower on Saturday but I wouldn̵...
