SAN DIEGO (AP) — Gary Sánchez homered twice, Juan Soto doubled in Fernando Tatis Jr. from first base and left-hander Blake Snell had another strong start for the San Diego Padres, who beat the struggling Texas Rangers 5-3 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.Hours earlier, Texas announced the acquisition of Max Scherzer from the New York Mets and obtained left-hander Jordan Montgomery from the St. Louis Cardinals. The AL West leaders then lost for the seventh time in nine games while keeping a one-game lead over the Houston Astros, who lost 8-2 to Tampa Bay.“It’s behind us already,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “We’re off tomorrow, regroup, see if we can get back on track and and play our brand of ball. It was a tough series. We faced some really good pitching.”Bochy said the Rangers’ batters expanded the strike zone “more than what we had been doing. Just shows you that we were maybe a little anxious, a little amped up. We’ve got to get back to who we are.”...

PHOENIX (AP) — It’s been exactly one year since Seattle made a big trade-deadline move, adding ace right-hander Luis Castillo in a deal with the Cincinnati Reds.Safe to say it’s a decision that’s worked out quite well for the Mariners.Castillo threw six sharp innings, J.P. Crawford connected for a solo homer and the Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0 on Sunday.“What a trade. He has changed the whole demeanor around our pitching staff,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “He’s the rock, he’s who we lean on and he showed up today.”The Mariners took two of three games in the weekend series, improving to 54-51 for the season as the team’s front office tries to decide whether to be buyers, sellers, or do nothing as Tuesday’s trade deadline approaches. Seattle looked like a possible seller at the end of June, but has used a 16-9 mark in July to climb back into the playoff race.The Diamondbacks are close to wrapping up a miserable month, w...

Traffic-related deaths climb in Aurora, statewide

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:43:27 GMT

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- New data shows traffic deaths are trending up in Aurora and statewide. So far this year, Joe Moylan of the Aurora Police Department said they’ve recorded 42 traffic-related deaths in the city, just eight shy of their total in 2022. Starting soon you’ll have to move over for these cars “Being at 42 this year is obviously concerning considering we’ve got five months left in the year,” Moylan said.  In Aurora, he said the top three causes are speed, intoxication and seatbelt use.  "The vast majority of fatal traffic crashes are preventable, so just paying attention to the road and the people around you, your risk drops a lot,” Moylan said. In 2022, the Colorado Department of Transportation recorded the highest number of deaths on state roads following a previous record-high year. CDOT reported 736 deaths on Colorado roads in 2022 and 672 deaths in 2021, the most deaths since 2001. “During the summer months we see more traffic-related fatali...
