BOSTON (AP) — Brandon Belt hit a solo homer over the Green Monster and had a go-ahead single, George Springer went 4 for 4 and the Toronto Blue Jays held off the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday for the second straight day after losing their first seven against them this season.The game ended on a double play when Connor Wong hit a drive that Kevin Kiermaier caught at the base of the left-center field wall and fired to second to double up Reese McGuire, who had raced toward home and was standing at third, thinking the ball would be off the wall.It was the eighth win in 13 games for the Blue Jays, who hold the AL’s third and final wild-card spot.“The way the ball’s been flying the last few days, you think that’s kind of off the wall at the very least, but you never underestimate the power of Kevin Kiermaier in the outfield,” Toronto manager John Schneider said, smiling. “It definitely wasn’t easy, a little stressful, but at the end of the day you have the right guys a...

New lawsuit against Harvard in wake of body part trafficking allegations puts victims first in complaint

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:13:18 GMT

Yet another lawsuit filed against Harvard in the wake of allegations that a worker in its Anatomical Gifts program morgue was selling body parts online has taken a different approach: placing the people whose bodies were sold front and center.“I was reading about cadaver this and cadaver that reading the coverage and it’s been freakish horrors” leading the complaints, attorney Kathryn Barnett, of national law firm Morgan & Morgan, told the Herald Friday. “I have a deep empathy for the families. I have sat with the families and heard their stories.”It’s not just that empathy that leads the stories of Glenn Wilder Sr., Marshall Jolotta, Joseph Gangne, Doreen Gordon, Donna Pratt, Patricia Sergio, Billie Flanagan and Mickey Maxwell Cohen — all of whom “generously entrusted the remains” to Harvard’s Anatomical Gifts program so that future doctors could learn from them — taking up a full third of the 31-page complaint, but also a bit of strategy.“We want to include a lot of families i...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:13:18 GMT

The Yankees did just enough Saturday afternoon to spoil longtime foe Justin Verlander’s first game back with Houston — and got a huge boost from their own returning starting pitcher.Jake Bauers mashed a tie-breaking fifth-inning home run against Verlander in the Yankees’ 3-1 win in the Bronx, while starter Nestor Cortes struck out eight Astros in his first outing in more than two months.Verlander, who pitched for Houston from 2017-22, left in the offseason for a two-year, $86.6 million contract with the Mets, who traded him back to the Astros last Tuesday amid their disappointing season.The right-hander entered Saturday with a 1.49 ERA over his previous seven starts and mostly held the Yankees in check, working around seven hits and two walks to allow two runs over seven innings.“The at-bats have been better,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said afterward. “It’s not always results in a big number or a big score, but you want to feel like you...

Lane Ramsey was rooming with fellow pitcher Declan Cronin in Durham, N.C., when there was a knock on the door.Cronin found out moments later that he had been promoted from Triple-A Charlotte to the majors with the Chicago White Sox.Ramsey got to live out the situation himself Friday night in Norfolk, Va.“It was kind of funny, I got to experience it with Declan last week and a week later I got to experience it,” Ramsey said Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field. “It was awesome.”Ramsey joined the Sox ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians.The 6-foot-9 right-hander is the latest pitcher to get an opportunity after the Sox called up Cronin on July 28 and right-hander Edgar Navarro the next day.“The reports (on Ramsey) are good,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “He caught my eye in the spring, (a) big kid (who) throws hard, has a good slider, not afraid (and has) made some adjustments.

With a little help from his boss, David Ross is making all the right moves in the Chicago Cubs’ resurgence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:13:18 GMT

Before the Chicago Cubs’ 8-6 win against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday at Wrigley Field, manager David Ross discussed his decision to sit slumping right fielder Seiya Suzuki, one of President Jed Hoyer’s biggest free-agent signings of the last two years.The talking points weren’t surprising.Ross wanted Suzuki to work on his approach, which he described as “in-between,” adding the Cubs were trying to get him a plan to “think the right thoughts” at the plate.“He knows he has to work on some things,” Ross said. “It’s hard to do that in-game. We’ll give him some time, and he’ll be back in there when we feel like he can help us win games.”When that would be was a question Ross couldn’t answer, but he admitted he was “fortunate” to have enough players in a groove that he could afford to sit one of his starters.Ross has endured much criticism this season over his lineups and pitching move...
