MILAN (AP) — Victor Osimhen scored twice to help defending champion Napoli come from behind to win at newly promoted Frosinone 3-1 on the opening day of Serie A on Saturday.Osimhen, the leading goal-scorer last season with 26, scored in each half to help Napoli get its title defense off to a good start.Frosinone took a surprise lead in the seventh minute through an Abdou Harroui penalty before Matteo Politano leveled.It was a positive debut for new Napoli coach Rudi Garcia, who replaced Luciano Spalletti in the offseason. Spalletti left Napoli after steering the southern team to its first Serie A title in 33 years, saying he was taking a sabbatical year — then was appointed as Italy coach on Friday following Roberto Mancini’s shock resignation.Frosinone also had a new coach in Eusebio Di Francesco after he took over from Fabio Grosso, who left the team after leading it to its first ever Serie B title.And it was the home side which surprisingly scored the first goal of the new season...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:59:15 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies placed left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez in the 15-day injured list Saturday with a strained right hamstring.Manager Rob Thomson said the team would return to a five-man rotation while Suárez is sidelined.“He came in a lot better today, so that’s good news,” Thomson said. “We’re really being cautious with this. Hopefully, he comes back to us right at the end of the IL stint.”Suarez, whose injured list stint is retroactive to Wednesday, said he felt fine during pregame work Wednesday in Toronto before feeling soreness. He underwent an MRI exam Friday, which he said revealed a Grade 1 strain.The Phillies initially scratched him from his scheduled start Sunday in the Little League Classic before opting to place him on the injured list.“I played catch, I did some sprints, I shagged (flyballs),” Suárez said through an interpreter. “Everything was fine and I didn’t feel anything and it’s not like I felt a pop or a pull. Nothing. It must have bee...

HOLLYWOOD, Md. (AP) — Two Maryland state troopers are on administrative leave after shooting a man who police said lunged at them with a knife. The troopers responded to a home in St. Mary’s County on Friday night for a report of a possible suicidal person, state police said in a news release Saturday.

Both troopers fired their guns, striking the man. They and other officers who arrived on the scene rendered aid until medical personnel arrived. The man was taken to a local hospital and then flown to a Washington hospital for treatment of his injuries, according to the news release. The troopers involved in the shooting were put on routine administrative leave amid ongoing investigations. No charges were immediately filed in the matter. Source

Vunipola red-carded for England in 29-10 loss to Ireland in Rugby World Cup warmup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:59:15 GMT

DUBLIN (AP) — England’s preparations for the Rugby World Cup plunged into further chaos when Billy Vunipola was red-carded for a dangerous tackle in a 29-10 loss to top-ranked Ireland in a warmup match illuminated by a stunning late try by Keith Earls on Saturday.Vunipola, the only specialist No. 8 in England’s World Cup squad, saw his yellow card upgraded to a red by the newly introduced bunker review system after smashing his right shoulder into the face of Ireland prop Andrew Porter in the 53rd minute at Lansdowne Road.A disciplinary panel will determine the length of Vunipola’s suspension next week but he is in danger of missing the start of the World Cup — just like captain Owen Farrell, who missed the match in Dublin amid his own disciplinary process.World Rugby has appealed against the decision by a judicial committee to overturn a red card handed to Farrell for his dangerous, no-arms tackle on Wales flanker Taine Basham at Twickenham last week. Vunipola’s tackle looked just ...

First came The Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting, as Americans left their jobs in record numbers in the wake of the pandemic. Now, some say The Great Resignation is over, which means Americans are back to doing what they do best: overworking themselves.D.C. overworks more than any other major U.S. city — edging out Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas, according to a new study.FinanceBuzz collected data on 50 of the biggest U.S. cities and ranked them according to seven workforce factors, which were weighted. D.C. scored highly in most of these categories, with one of the highest percentages of multi-job households, workers who work more than 50 weeks per year and number of older adults still in the workforce.Three cities on the Interstate-95 corridor cracked the top 10: Boston was number six and Baltimore was number 10. The highest concentration of overworked cities was in the middle of the U.S., with Denver and Indianapolis flanking either side of an almost straight line from Min...

Urías slam, Crawford’s no-hit bid lead Red Sox over imploding Cole, Yankees

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:59:15 GMT

Whenever the Red Sox play the Yankees, all eyes turn to Rafael Devers.Especially when it’s Gerrit Cole’s turn to start.Pedro Martinez once thought the Yankees were his daddy, but Devers and the Red Sox truly are Cole’s. Entering the series, the 26-year-old already had seven career regular-season home runs against the Yankees ace, and on Saturday afternoon, the Red Sox wiped the floor with the Yankees, to the tune of an 8-1 final score.Devers wasted no time. His 1-out single in the first inning was Boston’s first hit of the game. In his regular-season career, it was also his 10th hit off Cole, and 50th single/90th hit against Yankees pitching.Cole likely breathed a sigh of relief that Devers’ 101.9 mph scorcher was simply a single, but he’d soon face trouble from a most unlikely source.The Yankees starter began the top of the second by allowing back-to-back singles to Adam Duvall and Jarren Duran, then walked Pablo Reyes to load the bases for Luis ...
