SF Giants clinch series win vs. Phillies after bullpen steps up to back Cobb’s tough outing

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — If two players on the Giants have had more disparate starts to the season, it might be Alex Cobb and Taylor Rogers. Cobb took the National League’s best ERA into his start against the Phillies Tuesday night, while few relievers in the majors have had a tougher go of it than Rogers since inking a three-year, $33 million contract this winter.But the script flipped in a 4-3 win, with Rogers and the Giants’ maligned bullpen bailing out Cobb, who tied a career-high in walks and turned in his shortest outing since last May. Reaching base three times, LaMonte Wade Jr. played a part in both the Giants’ scoring rallies, and San Francisco clinched a series win over Philadelphia.Cobb’s early success and Rogers’ struggles might as well represent a microcosm of the Giants’ pitching through the first quarter of the season. Their starters have been among the upper third of the league; their relievers in the bottom third. But after getting only 3⅓...

Germán ejected, Judge booed as cheating allegations swirl around Yankees

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

TORONTO (AP) — Domingo Germán’s hand was coated with something tackier than rosin, umpire James Hoye said after ejecting the New York Yankees pitcher for violating Major League Baseball’s rules on sticky substances.“The instant I looked at his hand, it was extremely shiny and extremely sticky,” the crew chief told a pool reporter after the Yankees beat Toronto 6-3 on Tuesday night. “It’s the stickiest hand I’ve ever felt. My fingers had a hard time coming off his palm.”Germán denied Hoye’s accusation, saying he didn’t have anything on his hand other than rosin.“It was definitely just the rosin bag,” Germán said through a translator. “It was sweat and the rosin bag. I don’t need any extra help to grab the baseball.”Germán’s ejection, likely to trigger a 10-game suspension, was the fourth since Major League Baseball started its crackdown on prohibited grip aids two years ago and the second this season. It occurred during the second game of an increasingly acrimonious...

‘Mississippi miracle’: Kids’ reading scores have soared in Deep South states

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s a cliché that Kymyona Burk heard a little too often: “Thank God for Mississippi.”As the state’s literacy director, she knew politicians in other states would say it when their reading test scores were down — because at least they weren’t ranked as low as Mississippi. Or Louisiana. Or Alabama.Lately, the way people talk about those states has started to change. Instead of looking down on the Gulf South, they’re seeing it as a model.Mississippi went from being ranked the second-worst state in 2013 for fourth-grade reading to 21st in 2022. Louisiana and Alabama, meanwhile, were among only three states to see modest gains in fourth-grade reading during the pandemic, which saw massive learning setbacks in most other states.The turnaround in these three states has grabbed the attention of educators nationally, showing rapid progress is possible anywhere, even in areas that have struggled for decades with poverty and dismal literacy rates. The states have passed law...

Public pushes back on SROs in Denver schools

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The proposed long-term safety plan from Denver Public Schools is not sitting well with some people. For the first time, parents, educators and students had the chance to share their opinion on the first draft at Monday night's school board meeting.The meeting lasted a little more than five hours, and topics of school closures, food insecurity and equity were discussed. Despite all that's listed in the district's 50-page safety plan, what brought criticism was the controversy of bringing school resource officers back into schools. Over 30% of Denver is considered ‘house poor’ Denver Public Schools has been under a microscope as it grapples with safety and gun violence. Superintendent Alex Marrero created the plan that zeros in on mental health resources, the possibility of weapon detection technology and panic buttons and school resource officers.District students like Sky O'Toole stood in front of the school board."We don't want our schools to be militarized. We w...

Mosquito population could boom after recent rain, raising West Nile worries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The recent wet weather has Denver bracing for a potential surge in mosquitoes. “It just depends on how the weather plays out over the next couple of weeks and even the next month,” said Alan Polonsky, an environmental analyst with the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment.Polonsky and his team are monitoring about 70 sites across the city each week to check for the presence of mosquito larvae. The sites are in areas known to have large amounts of standing water.“We use this dipper. We call it a dipper. And we put it in the water and we look for larva mosquitoes and if we get a certain amount of them in each dip, we’ll apply larvicide,” he said. Over 800% of average precipitation measured in parts of Colorado According to Polonsky, DDPHE would be doing the same testing regardless of how much moisture Denver has had this month. However, he said the rain has the potential to support a boom in the mosquito population.“It’s definitely gotten our attention. ...

Nuggets, Rockies home games a win for local businesses

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — With both the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rockies playing in Downtown Denver on Tuesday night, the local economy was off to a good start this week. Bars and restaurants around Ball Arena were understandably crowded. Bars and restaurants around Coors Field — not so much. But Kelly Evans said not to read too much into it. She's an assistant professor of sport management at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “The bars really focus, I think, on the weekend games,” she said. “I don’t think they’re really concerned about during the week." Photos: Nikola Jokic leads Nuggets past Lakers 132-126 in West opener Mother Nature, she added, also plays a role. “Honestly, I think this is something that happens every year with the Rockies. Whether it be a slow start or good start, mostly because of the weather," Evans said. Game 2 in the Nuggets-Lakers faceoff in the Western Conference finals is slated for Thursday night at Ball Arena.
