BALTIMORE — The assignment for Tyler Anderson was to do what so many other left-handed pitchers have done to the Baltimore Orioles this season. The Orioles came into the game as the worst-hitting team in the majors against lefties, and they still scored six runs against Anderson in the Angels’ 6-5 loss Saturday afternoon. The Orioles’ .557 OPS against lefties ranked dead last in the majors. The Orioles had lost 15 of their first 19 games against lefty starters. The Angels will send lefty Yusei Kikuchi to the mound to try to avoid a sweep Sunday. Anderson had given up…
OMAHA, Neb. — UCLA did its heavy lifting early and held its ground late, a winning combo Saturday afternoon at the Men’s College World Series. A four-run fourth led the No. 15 Bruins to a 6-4 win over Murray State in the opener for both at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. It puts 15th-seeded UCLA into Monday’s 4 p.m. PDT winner’s side of Bracket Two, with a date against either No. 3 seed Arkansas or No. 6 seed LSU – the SEC rivals play in Saturday’s evening session – up next. The Bruins (48-16) will be there with their sixth…
Sarah Bettendorf, one of thousands of protesters who came out in force at Southern California for “No Kings Day” rallies on Saturday, made sure to dress for the occasion. She came as the Statue of Liberty. “I’m Lady Liberty,” Bettendorf, an aerospace worker, said, “and Lady Liberty stands for kindness, compassion and hope. “We’re here to say no to the haters,” she said. “We’re here to stand up for Constitutional Rights and protect all immigrants, because it is important to remember that there are no kings and that we all have rights.” Similar demonstrations took place across the country on…
OKLAHOMA CITY — Alex Caruso got asked after Game 4 of the NBA Finals if he’s aware that he’s achieved a level of superhero-type status among fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder during this playoff run. After all, having zero 20-point games in the regular season followed by two – and counting – in the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers tends to have an effect on people. “For the superhero reference, we’ll just do Robin because that’s the only one I can probably make some similarities to,” Caruso said. “I’ve got better players around me that are doing more.”…
By AAMER MADHANI and ELLIOT SPAGAT, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration directed immigration officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants and hotels, after President Donald Trump expressed alarm about the impact of aggressive enforcement, an official said Saturday. The move follows weeks of increased enforcement since Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and main architect of Trump’s immigration policies, said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would target at least 3,000 arrests a day, up from about 650 a day during the first five months of Trump’s second term. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller speaks…
BALTIMORE — Mike Trout isn’t ready to be Edgar Martinez just yet. Martinez finished his Hall of Fame career exclusively as a designated hitter. Since Trout came back from the injured list two weeks ago, he’s only started at DH, because the Angels aren’t taking any chances that playing the outfield will cause problems with his knee. Asked Friday if this could be the start of him becoming a primary DH, Trout was unequivocal. “No, no, no,” he said. “Just waiting for it to go away, because if it’s not, we’re going to be chasing the rest of the year.…
You’d need to earn $132,000 annually to comfortably finance the purchase of the typical San Bernardino County condo. This is simply another way to view local homebuying’s affordability headache. How did we establish that budgetary standard for what’s arguably the “bargain” homeownership option? Well, my trusty spreadsheet looked at monthly pricing data from Attom, which tracks closed sales for existing condos and newly built ones and 30-year fixed-rate mortgage data from Freddie Mac. For historical context, March results were compared with March 2024 – plus March 2019, as a measurement of homebuying before the economy-twisting pandemic. Here’s the math, which…
