DENVER (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper was ejected from Sunday’s game against Colorado after charging at the Rockies’ dugout following the last out of the top of the seventh inning, setting off an altercation that cleared both teams’ benches and bullpens.Harper appeared to respond to Colorado reliever Jake Bird, who clapped a hand against his glove and said something toward the Philadelphia dugout.Harper was initially restrained by Rockies catcher Elias Díaz, then Phillies third base coach Dusty Wathan prevented the two-time NL MVP from entering a group of players and coaches gathered near the first-base line.Harper returned to the NL champion Phillies on May 2 after recovering from Tommy John surgery.Bird was also ejected.Phillies manager Rob Thomson had been thrown out the previous inning after arguing with plate umpire Ryan Wills over a called third strike on Kyle Schwarber.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

How Barcelona won its 1st Spanish league title since Messi’s traumatic exit

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 13:15:38 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona’s risky bet to mortgage the club’s future paid off Sunday — in the short term at least — when a team led by newcomer Robert Lewandowski clinched its first Spanish league title in four years.Barcelona won its 27th league title, second to Real Madrid’s 35, with four rounds remaining after a 4-2 win at Espanyol with a pair of goals by Lewandowski.Now the club can finally start a new chapter after winning its first major title since the painful exit of Lionel Messi two years ago.Here is how Barcelona led the league since the 13th round, brushing aside an arguably more talented Real Madrid side and giving Atletico Madrid no chance of catching up.WIN NOW, PAY LATER?When club president Joan Laporta, the man who first hired Pep Guardiola nearly 15 years ago, returned for a second stint in charge near the end of the 2019-2020 season, he found a club in ruins.The financial situation of the club with 1.3 billion euros ($1.4 billion) of debt meant Laporta could...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 13:15:38 GMT

Stars coach Pete DeBoer says he will take a Game 7 at home any day of the week. He has another one Monday night, though his first with Dallas. The Seattle Kraken, in their first postseason, are already playing their second Game 7 on the road. “I think pressure is going to be on both teams,” said Kraken forward Jordan Eberle, who had two goals in their 6-3 win Saturday night. “I think for us, we’ve obviously been through this as a group once.”The NHL’s lone playoff game Monday between the Stars and Kraken will be only the fourth Game 7 in the league this postseason. There were five Game 7s in the first round last year, then no more in those playoffs.There was the potential for another one. Edmonton hosted Vegas on Sunday night in Game 6 of the other West series, looking to get even and force a Game 7 on Tuesday night. While the West remained unsettled, the East Conference Final matchup was already set after the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers both wrapped up thei...

Keller strikes out 13 as struggling Pirates beat Orioles 4-0

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 13:15:38 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — Amid a dreadful May stretch for Pittsburgh, Mitch Keller provided another reminder of how good the Pirates looked just a few weeks ago.Keller struck out a career-high 13 in his second straight outstanding start, and the slumping Pirates won for only the second time in 13 games, 4-0 over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.“That might be the best pitching performance of the season. That was a pitching clinic,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “He’s got four or five really plus pitches. We were 0-2 on every at-bat, it felt like.”The Pirates avoided a sweep after dropping the first two games of the series. Pittsburgh was 20-8 after a 16-1 win at Washington on April 29. Then the Pirates scored just 18 runs in their next 12 games.They managed four Sunday without a single extra-base hit, and that was plenty the way Keller (5-1) was pitching. The right-hander allowed four hits in seven innings and did not walk a batter.Keller was also responsible for Pittsburgh’s only ...

The customer is calling it a hurtful choice.“It just kinda felt like they were saying, ‘Trans people aren’t people,’ and it was extremely hurtful,” she said.Flasterstein never imagined she and her trans co-worker would face push back after asking a Publix Bakery clerk to write “Trans people deserve joy” on a sheet cake, April 26.“He looked a little bit confused, so I said, ‘T-R-A-N-S, trans people,'” she said. “I thought maybe he just didn’t hear me, but I didn’t really think anything of it.”That was when, Flasterstein said, the clerk walked away and...
