Judge homers again, powers Yankees past Reds 6-2

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:51 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Aaron Judge has been scorching hot since a mild hip strain sent him to the injured list earlier this month.The reigning AL MVP hit his seventh home run in as many games and the New York Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 on Friday night.“When you’ve got Anthony Rizzo hitting behind you, who’s been red hot as well, you’re going to get good pitches to hit,” Judge said.Rizzo also homered for the surging Yankees, who improved to 9-3 in their last 12 games.Judge, who received a standing ovation from the many Yankees fans in attendance following his pregame batting session, wasted little time making his presence felt in the teams’ first meeting in Cincinnati since 2017. Judge took the fifth pitch he saw from Reds starter Ben Lively 431 feet to center field for his 13th home run of the season.“It’s just very reminiscent of what we saw last year,” Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt said of Judge. “You see the same guy. I don’t think anything’s changed from last ...

Jim Brown Appreciation: Remembering Hall of Fame running back’s lasting impact on and off field

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:51 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown was both extraordinary and extraordinarily complicated.One man. Many versions.His greatness on the football field is beyond reproach. For generations, Brown, who died Thursday night peacefully at his home in Los Angeles, has long been the standard of excellence for running backs, a freakish blend of brute power and blazing speed who in many ways changed the NFL forever.Cleveland’s No. 32 is in a class by himself.“He’s (No.) 1,” said Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, the league’s career rushing leader. ”(Walter) Payton, two. I fall three.”But there is so much more than broken tackles and shattered records to Brown, who walked away from the game at his physical peak to pursue a film career, helping break barriers in Hollywood for Black actors.There’s the social activist and civil rights champion who used his platform to promote change during one of the most turbulent decades in U.S. history.And there’s a much less flattering personal ...

Biden set to announce new military aid for Ukraine after meeting with Zelenskyy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:51 GMT

President Joe Biden is set to announce a new $375 million military aid package for Ukraine after meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart at the G7 summit in Japan this weekend, according to three U.S. and Ukrainian officials familiar with the discussions.The package will include more artillery shells, armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons — all equipment that the U.S. and allies have supplied to Kyiv in the past, but will be much needed in the months of hard fighting expected this spring and summer. The officials were granted anonymity to speak about the discussions ahead of an announcement.The news comes as the U.S. president signaled that he would greenlight the third-party transfer of American F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, telling his G7 counterparts overnight that he will support a joint international effort to train Ukrainian pilots on the aircraft.Taken together, the moves are a strong show of support for Kyiv ahead of an expected counteroffensive that Ukrainians hope will ret...
