KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Joey Gallo hit two home runs, Joe Ryan gave up one run over six innings and the Minnesota Twins completed a sweep of the Kansas City Royals with a 7-4 victory on Sunday.Gallo hit his first home run of the game in the sixth inning and in the next frame belted a three-run blast over the right field bullpen to extend the Twins’ lead to 6-1. It was his 16th career multi-homer game.“Obviously, you want to start off well and it’s really early, but I wanted to help my team and I felt like I wasn’t contributing as much as I wanted to the first couple of games, but it’s good to have a good day today,” Gallo said. “We’ve been working a lot and even worked after the game for like 30 to 45 minutes yesterday with all the hitting coaches. I’ve been feeling pretty good, so hopeful keep that going.”After failing to score in the first two games of the season, the Royals finally got a run in the second inning on Edward Olivares’ homer....

El gobierno de Italia busca penalizar el uso de palabras en inglés

Roma (CNN) — Los italianos que utilicen inglés y otras palabras extranjeras en las comunicaciones oficiales podrían enfrentarse a multas de hasta 100.000 euros (US$ 108.705) en virtud de la nueva legislación introducida por el partido Hermanos de Italia de la primera ministra Giorgia Meloni.Fabio Rampelli, miembro de la cámara baja de diputados, presentó la legislación, que cuenta con el apoyo de la primera ministra.Si bien la legislación abarca todos los idiomas extranjeros, está particularmente orientada a la “anglomanía” o el uso de palabras en inglés, que según el borrador “degrada y mortifica” el idioma italiano, y agrega que es aún peor porque el Reino Unido ya no es parte de la Unión Europea.El proyecto de ley, que aún no se somete a debate parlamentario, exige que cualquier persona que ocupe un cargo en la administración pública tenga “conocimiento y dominio escrito y oral del idioma italiano”. También prohíbe el uso del inglés en la documentaci...

ROME (AP) — If this was just the antipasto, Napoli should be concerned about what AC Milan will serve up for the main course.In the first of three matchups between Milan and Napoli this month, the defending Serie A champion routed this season’s runaway leader 4-0 on Sunday ahead of two more clashes in the Champions League quarterfinals.Rafael Leão scored twice and Brahim Diaz set up one goal and scored another to hand Napoli its heaviest defeat of what otherwise has been an extraordinary season.“We’re happy with the performance but it’s just one game,” Milan coach Stefano Pioli said. “Tonight’s result has nothing to do with the Champions League games, because that’s a different competition. That will be a very balanced contest.”Napoli’s only other losses in the Italian league this season both came by scores of 1-0, to Inter Milan in January and to Lazio a month ago.Napoli was also beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in the final match of the Champions League group phase but that loss came after...

Duvall has 3 hits, go-ahead single, Red Sox beat Orioles 9-5

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:49:22 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox know scoring nine runs in every game is satisfying — though not sustainable.“We’re probably not going to average nine runs a game all year long,” Kiké Hernández said after collecting two of the team’s 14 hits in a 9-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. “But I do believe that’s what we’re capable of.”Coming off a last-place finish in 2022 and predicted to finish at the bottom of the AL East again this season, the Red Sox opened by beating Baltimore two out of three — scoring nine runs in each game. They are the third team in baseball history to score at least nine in three straight games to start a season, joining Cincinnati’s 1976 Big Red Machine and the ’78 Milwaukee Brewers known as “Bambi’s Bombers.”One day after amassing four hits, including a walk-off homer, Adam Duvall had three more hits — two doubles and a two-run single to break a fifth-inning tie. The free agent outfielder collected his sixth extra-base hit of the seas...

Nets win third straight with victory over Jazz

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:49:22 GMT

Good things happen when the Nets take an opponent’s best scorer out of the game.It’s been the constant for a Nets team that extended its winning streak to three games with a 111-110 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday afternoon.The new-look Nets have won games in large part due to their defensive principles and ability to force talented scorers into poor shooting nights.It’s when they can’t get a handle on those stars, however, that the losses begin to pile.That has not been the case in recent games: The Nets held Trae Young to just 3-of-12 shooting from the field in Friday’s victory over the Atlanta Hawks. They limited Rockets guard Jalen Green to a 9-of-21 shooting night in the win against Houston, and in the must-win victory over the Miami Heat on March 25, the Nets held Jimmy Butler to just 6-of-13 shooting from the field and only seven trips to the foul line.And to make it three in a row on Sunday, the Nets had to neutralize Jazz All-Star Lauri Ma...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:49:22 GMT

The Bruins have long maintained the position that the record for regular season wins doesn’t matter at all to them.But now? They might as well go for it, especially if they can keep winning while resting their vets.The B’s recorded win No. 60 on Sunday, in the most uncharacteristic and unconventional way. The B’s now need to win three of their final five games to set the record.The B’s blew a 3-0 lead, then had what they thought was an overtime game-winner taken off the board. But Charlie Coyle scored the only goal of the shootout and Linus Ullmark punctuated the 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues with a glove snare of a Brayden Schenn wrister to end it.The B’s took a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but they gave the Blues some life with a late second period goal and then old friend Torey Krug got St. Louis to within a goal at 9:47 of the third. Brandon Saad split the B’s defense and his shot yielded a rebound off Ullmark for Krug to put ...
