(AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s walkup music most of last season was the theme to “The Greatest Showman.”After the Los Angeles Angels star’s June, he should consider returning to it.The Japanese two-way phenom has amazed fans, teammates and opponents since coming to the majors in 2018. June, though was “The Greatest Sho” at the plate.“I’m in a good spot right now,” Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara when asked if he was pitching and hitting at his best. “Hitting-wise, I feel like it is up there for sure.”Ohtani hit 15 home runs, the most in a month in Angels history. He became the first player in 10 years to reach 30 homers before July 1.Ohtani reached that milestone and tied the AL record for most homers in June with a majestic 493-foot drive in Friday night’s loss to Arizona. Mike Trout, who was on the on-deck circle, did a double take when he heard it coming off the bat.The power numbers, though, are only part of the story of a dominant month.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers activated left-hander Julio Urías, who had missed 36 games after straining his hamstring, from the injured list to start Saturday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.The 26-year-old Urías allowed one run on two hits with eight strikeouts over four innings for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga in his last rehab start Sunday. He is 5-4 with a 4.39 ERA in 10 starts this season.The Dodgers initially hoped that Urías would return after he was placed on the injured list May 20. But instead of returning the first week of June, his slow recovery from the hamstring strain pushed back his return to the first week of July.Left-hander Justin Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make space for him on the roster.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSourceLos pasaportes cubanos ahora tendrán vigencia por 10 años

LONDON (AP) — Nathan Lyon has been on crutches since Thursday. He was expected to be a mere spectator for the rest of the second Ashes cricket test at Lord’s.Then he stunned onlookers on day four Saturday when TV caught him clambering slowly down the stairs from the Australia dressing room all padded up and ready to go in as the last batter.He waited close to the field in the Lord’s Pavilion so he wouldn’t be timed out hobbling to the middle. With him was resting 40-year-old England bowler Jimmy Anderson.“He asked, am I stupid? And I said, ‘Yes, but I may have to do a you and go to 40.’ He said, ‘If you keep loving the game and keep trying to get better there is no reason why you can’t,’ so that was a nice little moment with Jimmy.”When the time came to bat, the 35-year-old Lyon received a standing ovation from the packed Lord’s crowd.Australia wasn’t exactly desperate for the tailender at 264-9 in its second innings with a lead against England of...Graham Rahal on IndyCar front row at Mid-Ohio with pole sitter Colton Herta

Graham Rahal is back on the front row for an IndyCar race for the first time in four years.The son of 1986 Indy 500 winner and team owner Bobby Rahal nearly landed the pole at Mid-Ohio on Saturday, getting edged in the final seconds by Colton Herta, the last car remaining in the final six-minute round of qualifying. Herta posted a lap of 1 minute, 6.3096 seconds while Rahal stopped the clock in 1:06.3528 to cap a dominant performance by the Honda teams.Each of the six teams that made the final round of qualifying had Honda engines.“It’s a great time to get the Fifth Third Bank car up front and running well,” said Rahal, whose struggles this season — including a failure to land his Rahal Letterman Lanigan car in the Indianapolis 500 — have left his future with the team in question.“We’ve got a lot of laps tomorrow to keep it there,” Rahal said. “I’m so proud of everybody at RLL, the 15 car of course.

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:42:38 GMT
DENVER (KDVR) -- The Supreme Court decided colleges and universities can no longer consider applicants' race during the admissions process, ending affirmative action policies that date back decades. Two separate rulings came to the same conclusion.Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado Jason Dunn said the decision wasn’t a surprise. He told "Colorado Point of View" universities will have to change their admissions programs but said, “race can be a factor in which wholistically someone has looked at and evaluated whether or not race played a role in who they are as a person and their character.”He detailed what that could look like in a college admissions essay by describing, “how being a minority person shaped them, growing up in a certain neighborhood or something like that and changed their values and the way they think about the world. That’s certainly appropriate to talk about race that way.” What leaked Trump tape could mean for the classified documents case The ru...An observatory in Antarctica reveals ‘ghostly’ new portrait of the Milky Way

(CNN) — For the first time, astronomers have assembled a glowing portrait of the Milky Way galaxy using cosmic “ghost particles” detected by a telescope embedded in Antarctica’s ice.Over the years, astronomers have showcased stunning images of the Milky Way through electromagnetic radiation from visible light or radio waves. But this is a new perspective of our galaxy based on particles of matter, rather than energy.The so-called ghost particles are neutrinos. These tiny, high-energy cosmic particles are often referred to as ghostly because they are extremely vaporous and can pass through any kind of matter without changing.The research was published Thursday in the journal Science.“I remember saying, ‘At this point in human history, we’re the first ones to see our galaxy in anything other than light,’” said study coauthor Naoko Kurahashi Neilson, associate professor of physics at Drexel University, in a statement reflecting on when she and two doctoral students initially ...Hialeah firefighters help deliver baby boy after couple drive to station asking for help
