Austin Gomber, trio of homers lift Rockies over Yankees

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:07 GMT

Austin Gomber has quietly become the Rockies’ stopper.With the rest of Colorado’s projected rotation on the injured list, Gomber delivered big-time in Colorado’s 7-2 victory over the Yankees Friday night. He mostly shut down the New Yorkers for six innings and quieted their fans, who made up the bulk of the sellout crowd of 47,865 at Coors Field.“He had his four-pitch mix working tonight,” manager Bud Black said. “The change was good, a couple of good sliders, he mixed in some curveballs. He pitched great. He was outstanding.”What’s more, Gomber is pitching with some swagger.“Right now, I have a lot more confidence,” he said. “It’s one thing to kind of fake the confidence. When things aren’t going well, you try to tell yourself positive thoughts.“But when you see success and you have good games and when you start stacking them and have a couple of good ones in a row, and you give up a (bloop) double ...

Por qué cerraron la investigación por la cocaína encontrada en la Casa Blanca

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:07 GMT

El Servicio Secreto anunció el jueves que había cerrado su investigación sobre quién dejó un pequeño paquete de cocaína en la Casa Blanca sin encontrar al culpable, y un portavoz de la agencia le dijo a NBC News que lo hizo sin realizar entrevistas.La agencia, junto con el FBI, analizó el paquete para determinar que era cocaína y buscó huellas dactilares o evidencia de ADN. Pero las pruebas no arrojaron evidencia forense utilizable. Las imágenes de video del área donde se encontró la bolsita tampoco proporcionaron evidencia para reducir a los posibles sospechosos más allá de una lista de aproximadamente 500 miembros del personal y visitantes que pasaron durante un fin de semana a principios de este mes.El portavoz del Servicio Secreto, Anthony Gugliemi, dijo que la agencia determinó que entrevistar a las 500 personas podría ser una carga para los recursos, podría infringir las libertades civiles y probablemente sería infructuoso sin la evidencia física correspondiente que vincule a ...

Brewers’ Burnes nearly faints in sweltering heat, fans 13 in 1-0 win over Reds

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:07 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Corbin Burnes struck out the side in the sixth inning after nearly collapsing in the fifth in oppressive humidity, Victor Caratini singled in a run in the seventh and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 on Friday night.After his 10th strikeout, Burnes squatted behind the mound with his head lowered as teammates and trainers rushed over. The game-time temperature was 91 degrees with the high humidity.“He just got light-headed, essentially,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “The trainers don’t think it was a hydration issue. Just like you lift something heavy and get a little light-headed from that. He just needed a minute to regroup. His vision got a little blurry.” Burnes (8-5) took several big gulps of water and spoke to the training staff. He took a couple of warmup pitches, then retired Matt McLain on an infield pop to end the inning.“Everything kind of went dizzy and eyes went cross-eyed,” Burnes said. “I went to the back of the mound, ...
