When the lights went out at the start of Sam Smith’s concert Wednesday night at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center, red horn-shaped lights littered the crowd of about 10,000.Smith, who uses them/they pronouns, has been exploring their devilish side as of late and was selling light-up horn crowns at their merch tables. Prior to the release of Smith’s fourth album “Gloria,” they announced they had taken creative control over the record and its various promotions, including the current tour.That has meant gender bending and provocative outfits and music videos that sometimes come across as ridiculous rather than revolutionary. Both the album cycle and Wednesday’s show culminated with “Unholy,” a sexually charged song they wrote and recorded with pop singer Kim Petras. It hit No. 1 and won a Grammy, firsts for both the nonbinary Smith and trans Petras. At the Grammys, the pair delivered a campy, Satan-themed performance that had some online right-wingers whipped up in...Popular KBBQ chain Baekjeong opens first Bay Area location at Valley Fair

YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories (AP) — Residents in the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories were ordered to evacuate Wednesday night as wildfires neared the city of 20,000 people.People in the four areas of Yellowknife at highest risk should leave as soon as possible and residents in other areas have until noon Friday to leave, the Northwest Territories government said.“I want to be clear that the city is not in immediate danger and there’s a safe window for residents to leave the city by road and by air,” Shane Thompson, environment minister for the Territories, told a news conference. The fire was burning about 17 kilometers (10 miles) outside the city. “Without rain, it is possible it will reach the city outskirts by the weekend,” Thompson said.If smoke limits visibility, those leaving Yellowknife by highway will be escorted through the active fire zone.More than 200 wildfires have already burned a widespread area of the Northwest Territories.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts went 3 for 4 and scored four runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers benefitted from two catcher’s interference calls to win their 10th in a row, beating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on Wednesday night.The Dodgers increased their NL West lead to 10 games over second-place San Francisco. They’ve outscored the opposition 61-22 during their winning streak.Freddie Freeman ended an 0-for-14 skid with a 3-for-5 performance to go with stellar defense on a night when the Dodgers turned three double plays.Five of the Dodgers’ seven runs came with two outs, including Chris Taylor’s solo shot in the seventh.Clayton Kershaw (11-4) allowed one run and three hits in five innings, struck out two and walked two in his second start since coming off the injured list.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman has a right rib cartilage fracture, and there is no timetable for his return.The new injury for Stroman, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 because of inflammation in his right hip, is a blow for the Cubs as they try for the franchise’s first playoff appearance since 2020.“He’s been an important part of our success when he’s healthy, and you know, it stinks. Bad news,” manager David Ross said. “But we’ll continue on. This game moves on.”Stroman was slated to come off the IL and start Wednesday against the White Sox, but he experienced some discomfort in the rib area after throwing a bullpen session Sunday in Toronto. He visited a doctor Monday and had an MRI that showed the cartilage fracture.“We had no idea what it was,” President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer said. “It’s not your usual pitching injury. It’s not an arm. It’s not a shoulder. It’s not an elbow.”The...Dean Kremer bests Manny Machado, but Padres top Orioles, 5-2, in rubber match
Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:00:37 GMT
Five years later, determining the winner of the Manny Machado trade is a matter of nuance. The Los Angeles Dodgers reached but lost the World Series after the Orioles parted with the star infielder’s final half-season before free agency. The Orioles certainly would have liked to have done better in the deal, but even though only one member of Baltimore’s five-player return is still with the organization, he’s provided more value by himself than Machado did for the Dodgers.Right-hander Dean Kremer was not the centerpiece of that July 2018 trade, but he’s grown into that role for Baltimore, partly by default. The other four prospects the Orioles received in that trade never amounted to much for them, but Kremer has developed into a reliable starter.He showed as much Wednesday, when he faced Machado, now in his fifth year with the Padres, for the first time but took the loss in a 5-2 Orioles defeat. Machado, a six-time All-Star, went 0-for-3 against the 27-year-...Orioles catcher James McCann took his own advice for scoreless pitching debut: ‘Throw it slow as you can for strikes’

Whenever a position player has pitched with James McCann behind the plate, he gives the same piece of advice. He followed it when he took a major league mound himself for the first time.Pitching the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday night in the Orioles’ 10-3 loss to the San Diego Padres, the 10-year veteran did what he’s told other position players who have pitched to him: “Throw it slow as you can for strikes.” In a scoreless inning, only one of McCann’s 14 pitches exceeded 50 mph, and nine of them were in the zone or put in play.“I think I threw harder in the cage warming up than I did on the field,” McCann said. “There’s no such thing as throwing it above hitting speed, but there’s something to throwing below hitting speed. If you’re just kind of out there playing catch, well then it’s like batting practice. I’m a big believer in position players, just see how slow you can throw it and let your defen...Antonio Gates to be inducted into Chargers Hall of Fame

SAN DIEGO -- Legendary Chargers tight end Antonio Gates will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame during the 2023 season, officials said Wednesday.The eight-time Pro Bowler finished his 16-year career with the Chargers, 14 years in San Diego and two in Los Angeles, with the most touchdown receptions and multi-touchdown games by a tight end in the National Football League's history.Gates, who will be inducted on Sunday, Dec. 10 during halftime of the Chargers-Broncos game, will become the 41st member enshrined into the Chargers Hall of Fame."As I've said many times now, Antonio is not only one of the greatest Chargers to ever play the game, he's one of the greatest players in NFL history," said Controlling Owner and Chairman of the Board Dean Spanos.
