No-hit through 5, SF Giants come back to beat Rockies for 10th straight meeting

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:46:26 GMT

DENVER — Gleaming at his new-look, full-strength lineup before Wednesday’s game, Gabe Kapler said the most exciting part wasn’t the addition of Joc Pederson, nor Thairo Estrada, nor Michael Conforto, though all three surely serve an important presence in the middle of the order.The Giants manager began listing off the names he had available on his bench.“I think we always think about how deep the lineup gets when we have a fully healthy position player roster,” Kapler said. “But it really is emphasized when you look at the bench. You have J.D. Davis, Austin Slater, Wilmer Flores on the bench today. The Rockies have two left-handed pitchers, (Brent) Suter and (Brad) Hand, that can come out of their ‘pen. It kind of makes you think twice. You’re going to run into some really good right-handed bats.”In succession, that is precisely who the Rockies ran into in the seventh inning Wednesday night. When Colorado turned to Suter, Kapler counte...

Denver Nuggets too big, too strong for Miami Heat in Game 3 of NBA Finals

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:46:26 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — After building their largest lead of the night to that point midway through the third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Denver Nuggets put on a rebounding clinic.Aaron Gordon grabbed one on the defensive end after Miami’s Max Strus missed, then Michael Porter Jr. came down with the ball off Jamal Murray’s failed 3-point attempt. Porter got his own own rebound off a block — and when he missed, Gordon put it back up and in, and the score wasn’t close the rest of the way.It was their own personal game of shoot until you make it — and it spoke to the Nuggets being too big, too strong and too tough inside for the Heat in their 109-94 victory Wednesday night that put them up 2-1 in the series and one step closer to the first championship in franchise history.Denver outrebounded Miami 65-41, and points in the paint were a lopsided 60-34. Nikola Jokic had 18 rebounds on the defensive end alone as part of his game-controlling triple-double.“When we rebou...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rookie Alec Burleson pulled a first-pitch homer to right field in the eighth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Texas 1-0 on Wednesday night, ending Rangers infielder Marcus Semien’s hitting streak at 25 games.Semien was 0 for 4 to stop the longest streak in the major leagues this season and the longest of his career. The streak tied for the second longest in club history, behind Gabe Kapler’s 28-gamer in 2000.“It wasn’t meant to be,” Semien said. “If I got up in the ninth, walked and scored a run, I would have been happy.”St. Louis salvaged the final game of a trip following five losses and ended the surging Rangers’ five-game winning streak.Jordan Hicks (1-3) pitched a scoreless seventh inning for the victory, and Ryan Helsley finished for his seventh save in 11 attempts. Jonah Heim sent center fielder Tommy Edman to the warning track for the second out of the eighth inning. Pinch-hitter Mitch Garver ended the game with a looping fly to shallow left fi...

ATLANTA (AP) — Charlie Morton went to find Pete Alonso and apologize for hitting him with a pitch that knocked the Mets slugger out of the game.Alonso appreciated the gesture.“He came up after I got X-rayed,” Alonso said after the Braves beat the Mets 7-5 on Wednesday night. “He was looking for me. He just wanted to apologize. Obviously he didn’t mean to. For people speculating for this or that, I just wanted to clear that. Chuckie’s a good guy and the situation didn’t call for it either. There’s nothing to it. I just happened to get hit with an up-and-in fastball.”Michael Harris II hit a two-run, tiebreaking homer off Adam Ottavino in the eighth inning and the Braves rallied for their fourth straight victory.The third-place Mets wasted a three-run lead for the second straight night.

Heat, following similar script as Game 1, lose to Nuggets in Game 3 with poor shooting

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:46:26 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Those open looks Miami kept knocking down three nights earlier in Denver just wouldn’t go down back home. Gabe Vincent and Max Strus misfired all night and too many other shooters were cold in a 109-94 loss Wednesday night that gave the Nuggets a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Miami made 11 of 34 shots from deep in Game 3. And despite getting the looks inside that they wanted, the Heat simply did not knock them down, resulting in a loss in which their fans, once roaring as loud as they could as they swirled white flags above their heads, were finding the exits before the final minutes.Vincent shot 2 for 10 and Strus was 1 for 7, the starting guards combining to miss eight of their 10 attempts behind the arc.Miami made just 9 of 26 first-half attempts in the paint and matched Denver’s toughness early. Bam Adebayo had 13 points and 10 rebounds at the break, and the Heat only trailed by five entering the third. The Heat trailed by as many as 19 in the third, shoot...
