After beginning the season 0-8 against National League Central teams at Fenway Park, the Red Sox kicked off June with an 8-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.Unfortunately, the victory is bittersweet, overshadowed by Chris Sale leaving his start early with left shoulder soreness.The game began as a pitchers’ duel, with Sale and Reds starter Hunter Greene combining for 12 strikeouts over the first three frames. After allowing a leadoff single, Sale got three consecutive strikeouts to end the first inning, then set down the Reds 1-2-3 in the second, including back-to-back swinging strikeouts for the second and third outs.Sale scuffled in the top of the third, allowing back-to-back one-out doubles to give the Reds a 1-0 lead, but settled back down and got the next two outs.It was the top of the fourth when things took a concerning turn for the southpaw. After another set of back-to-back doubles, Alex Cora and the team’s athletic trainer, Masai Takahashi, came out to check o...Rock N' Roll Marathon: What to know about road closures and parking

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is nothing if not a political survivor.Underestimated from the start, the Republican who cruised around his California hometown of Bakersfield and stumbled into a career in Congress was never taken too seriously by the Washington establishment.With overwhelming House passage of the debt ceiling and budget deal he negotiated with President Joe Biden, the emergent speaker proved the naysayers and eye-rollers otherwise. A relentless force, he pushed a reluctant White House to the negotiating table and delivered the votes from his balky House GOP majority to seal the deal.“You still ask the same questions each week: Do you think you can pass the bill this week. Do you think you will still be speaker next week,” McCarthy chided reporters after Wednesday’s late-night vote.“Keep underestimating us,” he said, “and we’ll keep proving to the American public that we’ve never given up.”The Senate passed the bill Thursday night, se...Tropical Storm Mawar brings heavy rains, landslide risk to Japan’s southern islands as it passes by

NAHA, Japan (AP) — A weakened Tropical Storm Mawar brought heavy rains to Japan’s main southern islands Friday after passing the Okinawan archipelago and causing injuries to several people.Residents in vulnerable areas were warned of the potential for flooding and mudslides, and dozens of local flights were canceled for the day. On Okinawa, strong winds continued to blow and eight people were injured. An older woman who fell had a serious head injury in Nishihara city, but the other injuries were slight.Formerly a super typhoon, Mawar had winds blowing up to 90 kph (56 mph) as it moved east of Okinoerabujima over the Pacific Ocean, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.While wind damage was limited in Okinawa, warm and damp air from the tropical storm was intensifying seasonal rains, threatening flooding and mudslides, the meteorological agency said.Up to 35 centimeters (1.1 feet) of rain was forecast over the next 24 hours through Saturday morning. The agency issued flooding and mud...Woman dead after 3-vehicle crash in Vaughan

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Texas Rangers and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles are investigating after a Hays County employee was arrested, accused of illegally selling license plates and vehicle registrations for months, along with a state-licensed inspector who is accused of illegally selling vehicle registrations, according to several law enforcement sources who shared the information exclusively with KXAN.The Hays County Tax Assessor-Collector's Office is now being audited, and law enforcement officers said this could just be the beginning.

By LISA MASCARO, KEVIN FREKING, STEPHEN GROVES, FARNOUSH AMIRI and MARY CLARE JALONICK (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Fending off a U.S. default, the Senate gave final approval late Thursday to a debt ceiling and budget cuts package, grinding into the night to wrap up work on the bipartisan deal and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk to become law before the fast-approaching deadline.The compromise package negotiated between Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy leaves neither Republicans nor Democrats fully pleased with the outcome. But the result, after weeks of hard-fought budget negotiations, shelves the volatile debt ceiling issue that risked upending the U.S. and global economy until 2025 after the next presidential election.Approval in the Senate on a bipartisan vote, 63-36, somewhat reflected the overwhelming House tally the day before, relying on centrists in both parties to pull the Biden-McCarthy package to passage — though Democrats led the tal...Settlements in principle reached in Schoharie limo crash and Mavis Discount Tire

Capital Region community centers ready to help Asylees Nauman Hussain, the operator of Prestige Limousine was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison. Patrick Cushing's father feels the sentence was not enough.“It works out to about 7 months per lost soul. That's hardly fair justice,” said Kevin Cushing. The families of the victims are fighting another battle. This time they want more accountability from another entity linked to the crash.“There is still one key thing that is wide open and that is Mavis and everything that they have contributed to this that has to be sorted through,” said Kyle Ashton. “They held a part in this, there were quite a few people that held a part in this.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. - The St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department has issued an apology after a claim of "weight-shaming" at the popular water park in Wappelhorst Park.Signs at the base of the Boomerango water slide make it clear that there is a weight minimum of 100 pounds and a maximum of 300 pounds for a single rider and 400 pounds for a pair. However, the signs make no mention that riders must step on a scale on the boarding platform before being allowed to slide down on the two-person riding tubes.The Boomerango is a twisting tube slide. Riders splash out of a chute at the bottom with momentum, taking them high up a water-slicked wall before the ride ends in a shallow pool. It’s one of the park’s top attractions. Guilty verdict for man who struck, killed woman with his truck Kailee Dickey, 28, did not expect the weight to be an issue when she climbed the stairs to ride with her 5-year-old son. She knew about the 400-pound limit. The two of them together were not even within ...Wrong person identified in fatal hit-and-run; family questions investigation
