ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Seattle’s Eugenio Suárez provided the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and set a franchise record with his 10th straight game with an RBI as the Mariners defeated the Los Angeles Angels 9-7 Friday night in a slugfest where the teams combined for seven home runs.Suárez put Seattle up 8-7 with a base hit up the middle off Reynaldo López (2-6) to bring home Julio Rodríguez. Suárez broke the previous consecutive RBI mark of nine, which was set by Edgar Martinez in 1995.“That means a lot to me to break that record. Edgar is one of my favorite people in the word,” Suárez said. “I was so happy when I put that swing on it and hit it up the middle.”Suárez is the first AL player since the Angels’ Jared Walsh in 2020 to have at least 10 straight games with an RBI.“I know he was frustrated that it didn’t happen earlier in the game because he had some chances there. But the one thing about him is he’s always positive. When he goes up there, good things a...

Goalkeeper on debut, Putellas out in 5 Spanish changes for Women’s World Cup R16 game against Swiss

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:13:20 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Star playmaker Alexis Putellas was left on the bench and goalkeeper Cata Coll was picked for her full international debut as Spain coach Jorge Vilda made five changes to his starting lineup for the Women’s World Cup round of 16 match against Switzerland on Saturday. Coll, who was the only uncapped player in Spain’s roster, was a surprising replacement for Misa Rodriguez after Spain conceded four goals in a group-stage loss to Japan. Center back Laia Codina was picked for her first start of the tournament.Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Putellas had a 10-month layoff with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee and is still recovering. Spain coaches have managed her gametime so far over the last month.___ AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-womens-world-cupSource

RHODES, Greece (AP) — Tourists at a seaside hotel on the Greek island of Rhodes snatched up pails of pool water and damp towels as flames approached, rushing to help staffers and locals extinguish one of the wildfires threatening Mediterranean locales during recent heat waves.The quick team effort meant that “by the time the fire brigade came, most of the fire actually was dealt with,” said Elena Korosteleva from Britain, who was vacationing at the Lindos Memories hotel.The next morning, some unsettled guests cut their holiday short — but most stayed on as the resort wasn’t damaged in the small brush fire outside its grounds.The Greek island known for sparkling beaches and ancient sites is nursing its wounds after 11 days of devastating wildfires in July. After thousands of people were evacuated during the height of travel season, Rhodes is weighing how the crisis will affect its vital tourism sector, which fuels most of its economy and some 20% of Greece’s.It’s the same...

US and Sweden meet again in a Women’s World Cup match that will eliminate either Rapinoe or Seger

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:13:20 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Three powerhouse teams play on the second day of the Women’s World Cup knockout stage and at least one of the best will be eliminated. The United States is the two-time reigning tournament champions and ranked No. 1 in the world. But their lackluster play in the group stage stopped the Americans from winning their group, which knocked them down to second and a Sunday match against Sweden in the round of 16. Sweden is ranked third in the world and won its group by sweeping all three games. The seventh World Cup meeting between the two teams — the most frequent matchup in tournament history — will be played in Melbourne, Australia. Netherlands, meanwhile, is ranked ninth in the world and faces South Africa in Sydney. The Dutch were runners-up to the United States in the 2019 World Cup final. “Everything is related to our ambition as a football country,” Netherlands coach Andries Jonker said through a translator. “Being part of the top-10 in the ranki...
