Despite miscues, SF Giants earn walk-off win to keep pace in NL wild card race

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:18:24 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants and their fans are more worried about wins than style points at this juncture of the season – especially with the race for the National League’s final wild card spot being so nip-and-tuck.That said, if the Giants want to be a part of the postseason, they probably need to play some cleaner games than they did Monday night against the Cleveland Guardians.Still, despite committing three errors and going 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position through the first eight innings, the Giants managed a 5-4, 10-inning win over the Guardians before an announced crowd of 20,705, the third smallest of the season at Oracle Park.Down 4-3 in the 10th inning, Blake Sabol singled to right to score Joc Pederson from second base. Sabol then stole second base, advanced to third on a balk by Emmanuel Clase, then scored on a walk-off single by LaMonte Wade Jr.With the win, San Francisco caught the Miami Marlins in the NL wild-card standings, as both teams ar...

Kim Jong Un está en Rusia. ¿Qué podría necesitar Moscú de Corea del Norte y viceversa?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:18:24 GMT

SEÚL, Corea del Sur — El mandatario norcoreano Kim Jong Un llegó el martes a Rusia para reunirse con el presidente ruso Vladímir Putin, un encuentro que probablemente se centre en el deseo de Moscú de adquirir municiones para reabastecer sus agotadas reservas por la guerra en Ucrania.La reunión también pondrá de relieve una creciente cooperación bilateral en momentos en que los dos aislados gobernantes se encuentran enfrascados en distintas confrontaciones con Estados Unidos. A cambio de abastecer municiones, Corea del Norte posiblemente querría cargamentos de alimentos y productos energéticos, así como transferencia de tecnología armamentística avanzada.La entrevista con Putin sería el primer encuentro de Kim con un mandatario extranjero desde que Corea del Norte cerró sus fronteras en enero de 2020. Se reunieron por primera vez en abril de 2019, dos meses después de que las negociaciones diplomáticas en materia nuclear entre Kim y el entonces presidente estadounidense Donald Trump...

DENVER (AP) — The Chicago Cubs placed closer Adbert Alzolay on the 15-day injured list Monday and promoted top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa.The Cubs also activated reliever Michael Fulmer from the IL before their 5-4 victory at Colorado in the opener of a three-game series. Outfielder Alexander Canario was optioned to Iowa, and left-hander Anthony Kay was designated for assignment.The 28-year-old Alzolay has a forearm strain.
