BOSTON (AP) — Tyler Glasnow pitched five scoreless innings in his final start before the postseason, combining with four relievers on a three-hitter and leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 5-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.Josh Lowe had three hits, including a home run, and Isaac Paredes also homered for Tampa Bay, which has clinched a wild-card berth can and still catch the Orioles for the American League East title.With their 82nd loss, the Red Sox are guaranteed to finish below .500 for the third time in four seasons.

Solve It 7: Punctuation Problem

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:30 GMT

A Tewksbury man says he was having a punctuation problem. One that kept him from cashing a $2,000 security deposit check.That’s until Solve It 7 checked it out. Brandon Gunnoe has the story.“Every time I saw something that needed to be cleaned, I was on it,” Matthew said. Matthew kept the apartment he rented with his two roommates spotless.“I cleaned. I mopped. I swept,” Matthew said. That’s because he paid the entire $2,000 security deposit himself.“I left it clean. It didn’t get messy. I think I deserved the $2,000 back,” Matthew said. After Matthew moved out, he got that security deposit back.  “I was happy about it,” Matthew said. The check was made out to Matthew and his roommates because they were all listed on the lease.But there was a semi-colon between each of their names.“I saw the semi-colons. I thought it was the...

Brayan Bello struggles in final start, Red Sox shut down by Rays in 5-0 loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:30 GMT

Brayan Bello’s first full season in the big leagues will go down as a success, but the 24-year-old undoubtably would’ve preferred it ended on a higher note.Coming off a disastrous outing last time in Texas, Bello struggled again in his final start of 2023, allowing five runs on nine hits over six shaky innings. Even if Bello had been good it probably wouldn’t have mattered, as the Red Sox offense was shut down in the 5-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.The loss assures Boston will finish the season with a losing record and in the basement of the AL East. The Red Sox also finish 2-11 against the Rays, who have continued to dominate Boston and are now 20-41 against the club dating back to 2020.Though far more competitive and composed than in his last outing, Bello was flirting with trouble throughout against a tough Rays lineup. The right-hander allowed a solo home run to Josh Lowe in the top of the second, and after loading the bases with no outs in the fourth, allowed t...

Candidates in the second GOP debate attack each other and Trump – even though he’s absent

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:30 GMT

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Donald Trump’s rivals were quick to lay into him during the second presidential debate on Wednesday, ripping the former president for skipping the event as they sought to blunt the momentum that has seen him build a commanding early lead in the Republican primary. “He should be on this stage tonight,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was at center stage despite recent struggles to emerge as the field’s top Trump alternative. “He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt. That set the stage for the inflation we have now.”Seven GOP candidates squared off at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California for an event hosted by Fox Business Network. Trump was in Michigan, delivering a prime-time speech that continued through the start of the debate, attempting to capitalize on the Auto Workers Union strike and trying to appeal to rank-and-file union members in a key state that could help decide the general el...

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MICH. (AP) — As his Republican rivals gathered onstage in California for their second primary debate, Donald Trump was in battleground Michigan Wednesday night working to win over blue collar voters by lambasting President Joe Biden and his push for electric cars in the midst of an autoworkers’ strike.“A vote for President Trump means the future of the automobile will be made in America,” Trump said at Drake Enterprises, a non-unionized auto parts supplier in Clinton Township, about a half-hour outside Detroit.The Republican front-runner’s trip came a day after Biden became the first sitting president in U.S. history to walk a picket line as he joined United Auto Workers in Detroit.
