(CNN) — Un detective de la Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas que investigaba el asesinato del rapero Tupac Shakur en 1996 testificó ante un jurado investigador en septiembre que los detectives tenían la teoría de que su asesinato y el del rapero Biggie Smalls podían haber estado relacionados.En la transcripción de un procedimiento del jurado investigador del condado de Clark del mes pasado, el detective retirado de la Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, Clifford Mogg, dijo que los detectives que investigaron el asesinato de Shakur “creían que personas asociadas con ambos asesinatos estaban involucradas”.Mogg añadió más tarde que “la teoría de que estaban relacionados era precisa”.

It’s Bradish vs. Heaney in Game 1 of the ALDS between O’s and Rangers; Scherzer faces live hitters

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:44:40 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — As expected, the Baltimore Orioles are starting Kyle Bradish in Game 1 of the AL Division Series against Texas and rookie Grayson Rodriguez in Game 2.The Rangers, on the other hand, went in a somewhat surprising direction.The Rangers announced Friday night that Andrew Heaney will start the series opener Saturday, followed by Jordan Montgomery in Game 2. That means Texas will pitch two left-handed starters in a row to begin the series.Texas used Montgomery and Nathan Eovaldi in their sweep of Tampa Bay in the Wild Card Series, which seemed to make Dane Dunning the likely starter to begin this matchup with Baltimore. Instead it will be Heaney, who was 10-6 with a 4.15 ERA this year in his first season with the Rangers.The other big question for Texas right now is the health of Max Scherzer, who faced hitters Friday. The 39-year-old right-hander said he’ll have to see how he recovers Saturday.“I’m coming out of a shoulder problem here, and I’m learnin...
