Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:13:56 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — England’s prospects of leveling the Ashes series were just about alive after Joe Root claimed the only wicket of a rain-ruined fourth day at Old Trafford on Saturday.Just 30 overs were possible during a gloomy afternoon, with the morning and evening sessions wiped out by the weather, as Australia finished 61 runs behind on 214-5 in its second innings.With the forecast dreadful again for the fifth and final day, England badly needed to make inroads but hit a brick wall as Marnus Labuschagne converted his overnight 44 into a vital 111.Labuschagne has had a lean series by his own high standards but stepped up for his side to nudge them closer to the draw that would guarantee the urn joins them on the flight back to Australia.“It’s hard to judge where I feel with it,” Labuschagne said. “It’s always very special getting a test hundred. It doesn’t happen too often but I’m disappointed I couldn’t get us to tea. We were so close to ha...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:13:56 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — All-Star shortstop Corey Seager was not in the starting lineup Saturday for the AL West-leading Texas Rangers while the team waited for results from an MRI on his sprained right thumb.Manager Bruce Bochy said he was trying to be optimistic. Seager got hurt when his hand jammed awkwardly into the base when reaching on a head-first slide to beat out a double in the eighth inning of Friday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, his former team.“We know what it means to us, so we’re hoping for the best news we can get,” Bochy said before Saturday’s game.Seager is hitting .350 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs in 66 games. His batting average would lead the American League if he qualified, but he missed 31 games with a left hamstring strain early in the season.Bochy said the team expected to have an update before the game. That would allow for roster moves if Seager goes on the injured list for the second time this season.X-rays taken Friday night were nega...

It marked the 100th career win for KBM, Busch’s 64th win in Trucks, and extended his record of 229 victories across the three major NASCAR series.“We needed this 100th win to get it over with,” Busch said. “It’s a monumental day.

(CNN) — Los cuidadores del Zoológico y Acuario de Columbus se toparon con una gran sorpresa este jueves por la mañana: un gorila bebé recién nacido y la noticia de que su madre no era el gorila macho que ellos creían que era.El gorila, Sully, ha vivido en las instalaciones con su madre desde 2019 y se pensó que era un macho hasta que “el equipo de cuidado del gorila descubrió que sostenía al inesperado bebé gorila este jueves temprano”, anunció el zoológico en un comunicado de prensa.Pero, ¿cómo pudo ocurrir que los cuidadores no supieran que Sully, de ocho años, en realidad era una hembra? ¿Y que estaba embarazada?Bueno, los gorilas “no tienen órganos sexuales prominentes” y los machos y las hembras se parecen en su mayoría hasta alrededor de los ocho años, explicó el zoológico en el comunicado, señalando que solo más tarde en la vida los machos desarrollan su gran tamaño, espaldas plateadas y protuberancias distintivas en la cabeza.Junto con las características d...
