TORONTO (AP) — Seattle Mariners pitcher Easton McGee took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of his first major league start Saturday before Matt Chapman doubled off the center-field wall for the Toronto Blue Jays with two outs.McGee was removed after Chapman’s hit, and reliever Matt Brash struck out Daulton Varsho to end the inning. The game was scoreless heading to the eighth.McGee retired his first 12 batters before walking Chapman to begin the fifth. The 6-foot-6 right-hander then set down the next eight Blue Jays hitters. He threw only 64 pitches in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two.It was the second big league outing for McGee, who made one relief appearance for Tampa Bay late last season. He was called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day to start in place of struggling Chris Flexen, who was moved to the bullpen.There have been six no-hitters in Mariners history and the most recent one came in Toronto, when Canadian-born lefty James Paxton threw one on May 8, 2018....

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — His team huddled up before taking the floor, Harrison Barnes hollered a message to the Kings with their special season on the line: “Leave it all on the floor and take this series back to Sac!”With spectacular performances on both ends against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Kings are going home to Sacramento for Game 7 against the defending champions.Malik Monk can only imagine what a winner-take-all showdown might be like with a chance to extend this long-awaited playoff run as all those supporters try to will their Kings into the second round. For Curry and Co., there’s no imagining necessary — they know what hostile road environments feel like for elimination games, having been there so many times over the past decade on the way to four titles.“Man, I never been to Game 7, so I don’t know. I don’t know what to expect,” Monk said. “I just know I’m going to go out there and play 110 percent, give it my all, and continue to do what I’ve b...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:25:51 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom underwent tests Saturday after early exits in two of his last three starts because of tightness in his lower right forearm near his wrist. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said the “same thing cramped up on him again” on Friday night, when deGrom left his start against the New York Yankees with two outs in the fourth inning. That came 11 days after he exited at Kansas City following four hitless innings. Bochy said before Saturday night’s game that the team was still waiting for the results of the ongoing evaluations on the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, who as a free agent last December signed a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas. “We’ll just wait to hear what the doctors say and we’ll find out if he needs time or not,” Bochy said. “Obviously, we’re being optimistic having gone through this a little already with him.”Texas has won all six games started by deGrom (2-0), but he has been limited to 30 1/...

Cambridge residents, officials hope Memorial Drive will reopen to pedestrians, cyclists all weekend

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:25:51 GMT

Cambridge residents and leaders are hoping a change in leadership at the state Department of Conservation and Recreation will lead to Memorial Drive reopening all weekend for pedestrians and cyclists.Brian Arrigo, former mayor of the city of Revere, took over as DCR commissioner on April 24, just weeks after the agency decided to limit access to Cambridge’s popular recreational opportunity to just Sundays.Residents and those visiting the city had been allowed to stroll along the extended Riverbend Park, next to the Charles River, on Saturdays and Sundays the past few years, but the DCR has reverted back to the schedule that had been in place before the pandemic.A state law, enacted in 1985, mandated the opening of Riverbend Park and the closing of Memorial Drive from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the last Sunday of April through the second Sunday of November every year.“I’m really hoping this is the first thing (Arrigo) revisits,” said Christopher Cassa, a member of the steering committee for ...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:25:51 GMT

On Day 3 of the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins finally selected a tight end — sort of — and an offensive tackle.The long wait for the Dolphins’ first pick Saturday finally concluded when the team took Stanford pass-catcher Elijah Higgins with their sixth-round selection, pick No. 197, which was 113 picks after their previous draftee Friday. Later Saturday, Miami snagged Michigan offensive tackle Ryan Hayes.Higgins (6 foot 3, 235 pounds) was a big college receiver at Stanford, but he has the size to translate to tight end in the NFL. And the Dolphins plan to use him that way.Higgins said he mostly communicated with Miami tight ends coach Jon Embree in the pre-draft process. He said it will be a transition after primarily playing as a slot receiver in college.In 2022, Higgins had 59 receptions for 704 yards and two touchdowns after becoming a focal point in the Cardinal offense as a junior in 2021 when he made 45 catches for 500 yards and four touchdowns.Higgins is to...
