Monaco routs Lens to move 2 points clear atop the French league

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:43 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Monaco did not even need goals from its forwards to beat Lens 3-0 at home and move to the top of the French league on Saturday.Wissam Ben Yedder failed to add to his league-leading four goals and Takumi Minamino stayed on three, and it hardly mattered.Coach Adi Hütter’s free-scoring side has 10 points from four games and was two points clear of second-placed Marseille, which drew at Nantes 1-1 on Friday.Lens, which finished second last season to qualify for the Champions League, has picked up only one point and club-record signing Elye Wahi was kept quiet up front by Monaco’s defense.Two of Monaco’s defenders scored, too, as it reached a healthy 13 goals from four matches. Wilfried Songo headed in from Caio Henrique’s corner in the 24th minute and, after midfielder Aleksandr Golovin turned in a pass from Minamino in the 36th, it was Guillermo Maripan’s turn to head home another pinpoint Henrique corner in the 59th.In the other match, Brest ...

CHICAGO (AP) — The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Riley Greene on the injured list with right elbow inflammation on Saturday before their game against the White Sox in Chicago and recalled infielder/outfielder Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Indianapolis to take the spot on the roster.Greene, Detroit’s first-round draft pick (fifth overall) in 2019 will have the right elbow — he throws left-handed — reevaluated once swelling subsides. Manager A.J. Hinch said that might be in seven to 10 days.Greene was hurt while making a terrific diving catch in left field in the fifth inning of Detroit’s 4-2 win at Chicago on Friday. The athletic 22-year-old, who’s played mostly in center field this season, raced to the gap and lunged to snare Tim Anderson’s liner.Greene jammed his elbow on the play and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh as a precaution. The injury flared up overnight after Hinch said “things are pointing in a positive direction” on Friday.“Last night the physical exam...

TELLURIDE, Colo. -- The Colorado mountain town of Telluride has seen extra foot traffic over the past week and during Labor Day weekend due to the Telluride Film Festival. But those dining at 221 South Oak on Wednesday got their own show when a big bear decided to pass through. “It was later that evening, but with the film festival going on we still had guests in the restaurant," Sophie Iglar, a manager at 221 South Oak said. Why bears in Colorado like trash, explained Iglar estimated there were still 15 to 20 people dining inside and outside when the big bear made its way onto the outside dining patio, prompting those outside to head in. “Someone ran down and said there is a bear upstairs and I said 'Oh no here we go!'" Iglar said.The whole thing was caught on camera by both staff and those dining.   “Our little neighborhood bear was on our back patio and then came up and around and headed towards the street," Iglar said. The owner and chef at 221 South Oak, Eliza Gavin, has own...

Burger’s two gave him 30 homers this season and five since arriving in a trade Aug. 1 from the Chicago White Sox.“There’s obviously a lot of energy in the dugout, and we’re just having fun,” Burger said. “We’re just playing our style of baseball and just trying to have as much fun as possible.”Cueto (1-3) allowed two solo home runs in five-plus innings, including one to Lane Thomas in the sixth that ended his afternoon after allowing three earned runs on 77 pitches.

Italian ex-premier: French missile downed an airliner in 1980, killing 81

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:43 GMT

ROME — A former Italian premier, in an interview published on Saturday, contended that a French air force missile accidentally brought down a passenger jet over the Mediterranean Sea in 1980 in a failed bid to assassinate Libya’s then leader Moammar Gadhafi.Former two-time Premier Giuliano Amato appealed to French President Emmanuel Macron to either refute or confirm his assertion about the cause of the crash on June 27, 1980, which killed all 81 persons aboard the Italian domestic flight.In an interview with Rome daily La Repubblica, Amato said he is convinced that France hit the plane while targeting a Libyan military jet.While acknowledging he has no hard proof, Amato also contended that Italy tipped off Gadhafi, and so the Libyan, who was heading back to Tripoli from a meeting in Yugoslavia, didn’t board the Libyan military jet.What caused the crash is one of modern Italy’s most enduring mysteries. Some say a bomb exploded aboard the Itavia jetliner on a flight from ...

Orioles claim Jorge López off waivers, reuniting with All-Star relief pitcher they traded last season: ‘We’re hoping he can help us’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:43 GMT

The Orioles are adding a familiar face to their bullpen.Baltimore is reuniting with right-hander Jorge López, the All-Star closer it traded last season, after claiming him on waivers from the Miami Marlins, the team announced Saturday afternoon.López, who has struggled this season with the Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins, is not postseason eligible because he was not in the organization before Sept. 1. The Orioles designated right-hander Logan Gillaspie for assignment to make room for López on the 40-man roster. A move to add López, who hasn’t reported to the team in Arizona, to the 28-man roster has yet to be made.Manager Brandon Hyde said he hopes López can “feel at home” when he joins the Orioles and “pitch well for us” over the final month of the regular season.“Lópey is somebody that a lot of us in that clubhouse are close with,” Hyde said. “He had some really good moments in the first half last yea...

Basic literacy profoundly affected by school shutdowns

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:43 GMT

They were the kids most disrupted by the pandemic, the ones who were still learning to write their names and tie their shoes when schools shut down in the spring of 2020.Now, they’re the big kids at elementary schools across the United States. Many still need profound help overcoming the effects of the pandemic.To catch up, schools have deployed a wide range of strategies. And among some incoming fourth-graders, there are encouraging signs of gains. But as this generation progresses, many will need extra reading support that schools are not as accustomed to providing for older students.Beyond third grade, fewer teachers each year know how to help students who are lacking key foundational reading skills, said Elizabeth Albro, an executive at the U.S. Department of Education’s independent research arm, the Institute of Education Sciences.“Middle and high school teachers aren’t expecting to have to teach kids how to read,” Albro said.Nationally, students suffered deep learning setbacks...
