SF Giants return from Mexico City beaten and battered — but not as badly as initially thought

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:05:24 GMT

HOUSTON — One after the other Monday afternoon, Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski stuck their legs in the MRI machine at Minute Maid Park, hoping for the best after having their soft tissue tighten up under the stressful playing conditions in Mexico City.For the most part, they got the results they were hoping for.The Giants lost more than just their two games at elevation, but their starting shortstop and center fielder, too. Upon arriving in Houston for their three games against the defending World Series champion Astros, Crawford and Yastrzemski were each placed on the injured list.But after seeing the results of their scans, the Giants’ two key up-the-middle players believed they averted the worst-case scenarios.Yastrzemski (left hamstring) was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain, the mildest variety, which seemed all but impossible after he reported feeling a “pop” in his hamstring while attempting to make a play on a shallow pop fly in the eighth inning Sunda...

The top 5 ‘Redfall’ tips to help you jumpstart your game

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:05:24 GMT

“Redfall” is deceptively simple but the gameplay is surprisingly deep as you fight an army of vampires, cultists and mercenaries. The developers at Arkane Studios Austin throw players into that meat grinder without too much explanation.The campaign can be difficult at first as players’ powers are severely limited, but over time, they level up and amass better weapons. Here are five tips to make that process run a little smoother:1. Choose your hero wisely: “Redfall” offers four playable characters at launch, and each hero offers their own distinct brand of gameplay. Whomever you chose, you’ll be attached to them through the campaign, so it’s best to choose wisely. Players can’t switch their hero on the fly and continue the story. Each hero is tied to their own campaign, and if you decide to play multiplayer, the host is the only one that retains the narrative progress.That means if you beat a boss with your buddy and she’s the ho...
