Homers from Adley Rutschman, Anthony Santander not enough as Orioles fall to Angels, 6-5

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:37:38 GMT

In a game with home runs from the two best hitters on both teams, it was an infield single that made the difference.Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout homered to give the Los Angeles Angels an early lead, and the Orioles battled back to take a one-run advantage on long balls from Anthony Santander and Adley Rutschman. But Baltimore’s bullpen faltered, as three relievers stumbled in the eighth to hand the Angels a 6-5 win.The decisive strike came from Ohtani. It wasn’t one of his majestic long balls — as Baltimore’s crowd witnessed Monday and Thursday — but rather an infield single that he beat out to first base for the game-winning RBI.Starting pitcher Tyler Wells was effective aside from the two homers he allowed to the pair of Angels superstars, but the Orioles’ bullpen didn’t live up to its reputation as the relief unit with the lowest ERA in the majors. After Mike Baumann allowed a run in the sixth, relievers Bryan Baker, Austin Voth and Danny...

Childs Walker | Baltimore Sun (TNS)BALTIMORE — At least Mage’s owners and his trainer, Gustavo Delgado, decided to run their horse in the Preakness Stakes two weeks after his unexpected triumph in the Kentucky Derby.Because without the Derby champion — and remember, last year’s shocking winner, Rich Strike, did not try for the second jewel in the Triple Crown — this would be a grim race to hype.There are big names aplenty among the trainers, but Bob Baffert, Steve Asmussen and Brad Cox are not coming to Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore with the most accomplished 3-year-olds in their barns. Mage will not face a single returning challenger from the Derby.Setting the quality of the field aside, the Preakness will go off in the wake of an unsettling Derby meet in which seven horses died in a nine-day span at Churchill Downs. Dark headlines detailing the sport’s troubles competed with those hailing Mage’s charge to victory.Can the Preakness turn the Triple Crown narrative in a brighter d...

A federal judge has rejected a lawsuit brought by Nantucket residents who argued that the planned construction of dozens of wind turbines off the affluent resort island threatens the survival of endangered Northern Atlantic right whales.Nantucket Residents Against Turbines said Vineyard Wind’s proposed project of some 62 turbines in waters 14 miles south of the island is in a crucial area for foraging and nursing for the dwindling species, which researchers estimate to number about 340.In a ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani found the group failed to show that either the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management or the National Marine Fisheries Service violated the Endangered Species Act or the National Environmental Policy Act in issuing a 2021 biological opinion or final environmental impact statement for the wind energy project.Vineyard Wind CEO Klaus Moeller welcomed the decision.“We’re pleased the court has acknowledged the rigorous and t...

EDMONTON — On the same day Alberta’s two main election rivals were to square off in a debate ahead of the May 29 vote, the province’s ethics commissioner found United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith, in her role as premier, broke conflict-of-interest rules. A key issue in Marguerite Trussler’s report was a call Smith made in January to then- justice minister and attorney general Tyler Shandro related to criminal charges against Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski. Earlier this month, a judge in Lethbridge, Alta., found Pawlowski guilty of mischief and other charges for his role in a protest over COVID-19 restrictions that snarled Alberta’s main border crossing into the United States in early 2022.Trussler said a premier discussing an ongoing criminal case with an attorney general is not acceptable. “In the whole scheme of things, it is a threat to democracy to interfere with the administration of justice,” she wrote. “It is the first step towa...
