Rockies’ new starter Dinelson Lamet struggles in 6-0 loss to D-backs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:06 GMT

The Rockies took the field Wednesday night with a recycled starter, a young lineup and a monkey on their back.So it came as no big surprise that the talented Diamondbacks cruised to a 6-0 victory at Chase Field.The recycled starter was Dinelson Lamet. The right-hander was not very good.With Charlie Blackmon still gone on bereavement leave for his grandfather, and Kris Bryant nursing a sore foot after getting nicked by a foul ball Tuesday night, Colorado trotted out a baby-faced lineup that included Ezequiel Tovar at shortstop, Elehuris Montero at first, Nolan Jones in left and Brenton Doyle in center.The monkey? That would be the Rockies’ feeble offense on the road where they fell to 9-19 after managing just three hits and not advancing a runner past second base.Arizona left-hander Tommy Henry, 25, dominated the Rockies and pitched the best game of his infant career and kept the D-backs rolling. They have won five of six from the Rockies this season, and with a 33-23 record ar...

Magnitude 2.6 earthquake jolts Signal Hill, Long Beach

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:06 GMT

A small earthquake rattled parts of the Southland Wednesday night.  The magnitude 2.6 quake struck a little less than a mile and a half northwest of Signal Hill and just 4 miles northwest of Long Beach at a depth of 2.5 miles or 4 kilometers at around 7:15 p.m., according to the United States Geological Survey.  “Many are reporting feeling a jolt,” the city of Long Beach tweeted, taking the opportunity to remind residents to always be prepared with emergency earthquake kits.  The small shaker comes on the heels of a magnitude 3.6 quake that hit Tuesday afternoon just 12 miles northwest of Oxnard. The epicenter was just offshore of Point Mugu at a depth of 6.6 miles. Tens of thousands of earthquakes are recorded in California each year, but the vast majority of them are extremely minor. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15 to 20 are greater than magnitude 4.0, according to the USGS. In the continental United States, only Alas...

DA Price dismisses 2 murder charges against accused triple-murderer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:06 GMT

(KRON) -- Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price announced Wednesday that she dismissed two murder charges against a man accused of committing three murders. Delonzo Logwood, 32, is still charged with one of the murders.Logwood's case became controversial when it was reported that Price offered a 15-year plea deal to him in exchange for pleading guilty to one of the murders. The plea deal was rejected by an Alameda County judge. Now, Price says the judge has agreed to drop two of the murder charges. Ousted SF DA Boudin says he won’t run in 2024, takes new job According to Price, Logwood's case was in limbo under her predecessor, Nancy O'Malley. He has already served 14 years. Under charges filed by the O'Malley administration, Logwood was facing 75 years to life if he was convicted. Price said that was not realistic.In 2008, Logwood allegedly gunned down Richard Carter, Eric Ford, and Zaire Washington. Price said the evidence against him in the murders of Carter and Washing...

SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh’s single leading off the bottom of the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Jose Caballero to give the Seattle Mariners a 1-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.Seattle avoided a three-game sweep and snapped New York’s four-game win streak thanks largely to a terrific pitching performance from starter George Kirby and Raleigh’s clutch hit.Raleigh lined a 2-2 pitch from Ron Marinaccio (2-2) into right field and Caballero scored easily after starting the inning as the runner at second base.Justin Topa (1-2) pitched around J.P.

French Open 2023: Still no women’s matches in night sessions at Roland Garros

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:06 GMT

PARIS (AP) — When the French Open introduced night sessions a year ago, just one of the 10 matches scheduled for under the lights in the main stadium featured women. That drew criticism from Tennis Hall of Famer and equal rights advocate Billie Jean King, among others — both as a matter of fairness and because that sort of exposure is the best way to bring more attention to players.Well, so far in 2023, all of the first four night sessions have featured men’s matches.“If the tournament is not going to change it, then there’s nothing we can do,” 2017 U.S. Open champion and 2018 French Open finalist Sloane Stephens said.Thursday night’s second-round contest in Court Philippe Chatrier originally was supposed to be France’s Gael Monfils against Denmark’s Holger Rune, the sixth-seeded man. After Monfils withdrew from the tournament late Wednesday, that was replaced by 2020 U.S. Open runner-up Alexander Zverev against Alex Molcan. WHO ELSE PLAYS THURSDAY?The remain...
