TORONTO (AP) — Matt Chapman hit a game-ending double off the center-field wall in the ninth inning, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.Toronto, which swept its ninth series this season, entered in the AL’s third and final wild card spot, a half-game behind Texas and a half-game ahead of Seattle.The sweep of Boston put the Blue Jays back in the postseason picture after they were swept by Texas in a four-game series last week.“To get three wins like that and get right back in the mix is huge for us,” Chapman said.The Blue Jays won in their final at-bat for the sixth time this season and the second time in two days. Whit Merrifield’s infield single in the 13th inning gave Toronto a 4-3 win Saturday.“It’s fun to build off that energy,” Chapman said. “I think it gets guys excited. Hopefully we can just build off that energy and keep it rolling through this last stretch.”Toronto has 12 games remaining, six each against the New York Y...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:25:46 GMT

The decision by voters to oust controversial incumbent City Council candidates Kendra Lara and Ricardo Arroyo in last Tuesday’s primary shows residents are looking for more ethical, stable leadership, Council President Ed Flynn said on a CBS segment aired Sunday.“I think the voters want stability in city government,” Flynn said on a Keller at Large segment. “They want elected officials that can work with the mayor, that can work with their colleagues, be responsible, be ethical, provide positive leadership.”Both Councilors Arroyo and Lara, considered progressive candidates in their races, were defeated quickly in the Tuesday primary after facing a heap of controversy in the last year.Following Arroyo’s defeat, Enrique Pepén and Jose Ruiz will face off in the Nov. 7 general election for the District 5 council seat representing Hyde Park, Mattapan and Roslindale. William King and Benjamin Weber will compete for Lara’s District 6 seat represent...

McCarty trying to avoid government shutdown

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:25:46 GMT

Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he wants to avoid a U.S. government shutdown because it would undermine his party’s leverage in negotiations over spending cuts sought by Republicans.“I want to make sure we don’t shut down,” McCarthy said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. “I don’t think that is a win for the American public and I definitely believe it’ll make our hand weaker if we shut down.”With the federal government rapidly approaching its Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year, the Republican leader cited signs of progress on getting spending bills through the House. He didn’t provide specifics.Some House Republicans last week said they are convinced Congress won’t be able to avert a partial shutdown of many agencies or even reach a deal to temporarily extend government funding.McCarthy’s insistence on averting a shutdown has put him in a clash with House GOP conservatives who are calling for spending cuts, border security measures and other demands that Democrats have said they oppose. ...

NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump repeatedly declined in an interview aired Sunday to answer questions about whether he watched the Capitol riot unfold on television, saying he would “tell people later at an appropriate time.”Trump, the current front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, refused to say on NBC’s “Meet the Press” how he spent Jan. 6, 2021, once the insurrection began and whether he made phone calls as his supporters stormed the seat of American democracy.“I’m not going to tell you. I’ll tell people later at an appropriate time,” Trump told moderator Kristen Welker after she asked if he spent that afternoon watching the attack on television in a dining room at the White House.Trump’s former aides have said he sequestered himself in the room off the Oval Office to watch, at times even rewinding and rewatching some parts.In the interview, taped Thursday at Trump’s golf club in New ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:25:46 GMT

The Orioles have spent much of Brandon Hyde’s tenure being looked down upon. They’ve spent almost six months craning necks upward.Sunday, the Orioles clinched their first playoff berth since 2016, the culmination of a rebuilding process that fully launched in the winter of 2018 when Mike Elias was brought in as executive vice president and general manager and hired Hyde as manager to steward a club designed to struggle.“Just really happy for the players that are in that clubhouse,” Hyde said. “These guys have earned [the right] to celebrate. This is just the first step, and hopefully, we have a few more celebrations the rest of the way.”They inherited the worst team in the majors, an organization with bad contracts and bad infrastructure. In each of Hyde’s first three years, Baltimore finished with one of baseball’s five worst records, twice losing at least 108 games as his lineups and pitching staffs were littered with overmatched pla...

It was the final division game of the season for the Sox, who finished 23-29 against the American League Central.“We’ve got to do better in general against everybody,” Sox right fielder Gavin Sheets said. “Division, in division, out of division. We’ve just got to do better. That’s the main goal next year: win more games. Obviously in division ...
