ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corey Seager hit two homers and drove in five runs and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers beat the slumping Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Tuesday night.

The All-Star shortstop capped his three-hit night with a two-run single in the eighth inning.

The left-hander is 2-1 with a 2.50 ERA for Texas. Angels starter Lucas Giolito (7-9), one of their deadline acquisitions, allowed four runs while throwing a season-high 110 pitches over six innings. The right-hander struck out five and walked two.Los Angeles (59-62) kept two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who can become a free agent this offseason, and made moves hoping for a playoff push. The...

Orioles starter Jack Flaherty labors, catcher James McCann pitches in 10-3 loss to Padres

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:51 GMT

The Orioles find themselves atop the American League East largely because they are masters of the nail-biter. Games such as Tuesday night’s blowout loss to the San Diego Padres have been uncommon, including those that end with them on the winning side.Baltimore’s 10-3 loss, which featured backup catcher James McCann’s first major league pitching appearance, left the Orioles at 74 victories. Exactly half have come in games decided by two or fewer runs. Despite a record 17 games above their opponent’s, Baltimore’s run differential is only seven better than San Diego’s.The Padres (57-63) cut into that deficit early Tuesday by quickly creating one for the Orioles. Making his third start for Baltimore after being acquired in a trade deadline deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, right-hander Jack Flaherty issued a bases-loaded walk before surrendering a grand slam to Gary Sánchez in a first inning in which he threw 18 strikes and 16 balls.Flaherty...

Where’s the Joe Biden of 2021?That was the year the president, who endorsers touted for his sense of decency, visited several states upended by natural disasters.“Empathy matters,” said Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2020. “And in this moment of crisis, it is more important than ever that the next president restores Americans’ faith in good, effective government.”In December of 2021, Biden visited Kentucky to survey damage and pledge federal support for the victims of more than 30 devastating tornadoes that killed dozens and left thousands more in the region without heat, water or electricity, the Associated Press reported.A month after he took office, Biden went to Houston to survey the damage from a historic storm. He toured Idaho, Colorado and California to survey wildfire damage over the summer. After Hurricane Ida struck, Biden went to Louisiana as well as New Jersey and New York in September.Biden consoled a family in Manvil...

Luscious Atlantic Beach pie with a salty twist

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:51 GMT

Some foods just speak to the season.In July and August, citrus often rules supreme because its bright, sunny taste brings to mind the roadside lemonade stands and fruity Popsicles we enjoyed as kids.Now that we’re adults, lemon and lime add sparkle to so many refreshing cocktails. They’re easy to find just about anywhere and provide a relatively inexpensive way to add a punch of acidic flavor to everything the fruit rubs shoulders with.This modern take on a vintage Southern pie made with lemon and lime juices absolutely shines on a dessert table when it’s hot and muggy outside. It was created a little over a decade ago by cookbook author Bill Smith, who was the chef at Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, for nearly 30 years until his retirement in 2019.In 2011, he was asked to teach a group of food writers and chefs from the Southern Foodways Alliance about his home state’s food traditions (he grew up in New Bern, North Carolina).

Shrimp rolls a delish summer treat

I love biting into a buttery, toasted roll filled with a fresh shrimp salad. It’s a summer treat. Instead of buying cooked shrimp, this recipe has a two-minute foolproof way to cook your own. It keeps the shrimp juicy and flavorful. You can make the shrimp filling a day ahead and simply toast the rolls when you’re ready to serve the shrimp rolls.I like to buy frozen shrimp to have on hand. It’s easy to remove what you need.
