But will more gunfire like this be on the horizon with young people this summer? Neighbors seek answers after police kill 14-year-old armed robbery suspect Local advocates like Jason McBride, a secondary youth violence prevention specialist with Struggle of Love Foundation, is fearful this could be the worst summer yet."We’re failing kids in every aspect of their lives," McBride said.

He had his second double-digit strikeout game of the season after fanning 12 against the Chicago Cubs on April 29.“The strikeouts are part of the game but what I felt very good about is I only gave up one walk,” Cabrera said. “When you attack the zone, not all the time they are not always going to turn out well, but a majority of the time they will.”JT Chargois, Andrew Nardi and Tanner Scott followed Cabrera, each throwing an inning to complete the five-hitter.

For Heat, the familiar challenge of navigating a rocky road awaits

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:33:36 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Udonis Haslem has been through almost everything in his 20 seasons with the Miami Heat. On that list: Game 1 losses in the NBA Finals.He’s seen lots of those — six of them, actually, in seven tries during his Heat career. Being down 1-0 in the finals against the Denver Nuggets is not optimal, but Haslem knows it doesn’t doom Miami’s chances, either. All three of his championship rings came in series where the Heat lost a finals opener.And that will be the message for three days, all the way until tip-off of Game 2 on Sunday night.“It can be done,” Haslem said.He’s right. And by now, the Heat have just come to expect that nothing they want will come easily.Virtually the entire season has been topsy-turvy for the Heat, and evidently, the jagged path is the one they’re going to take all the way to the end. A 104-93 loss in Game 1 on Thursday night came when Miami shot poorly, struggled big-time from 3-point range until a late flurry and shot only two free thro...

Justin Steele diagnosed with forearm strain, but the Chicago Cubs don’t anticipate an extended absence for the left-hander

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:33:36 GMT

Justin Steele appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario.The Chicago Cubs received good news from Steele’s MRI with the lefty’s diagnosis of a forearm strain. It’s still unclear whether he will miss any starts, but the team does not anticipate an extended absence.Steele is scheduled to play catch Saturday to test his forearm.”I’m expecting it to go just as normal as any other day of catch,” Steele said. “Everything’s headed in the right direction.”The Cubs will see how Steele’s forearm responds before determining if he needs to go on the 15-day injured list. He would likely miss two starts, though the Cubs potentially could limit Steele to one missed start by rearranging the rotation with an off day June 12 at the conclusion of their 10-game West Coast trip. It’s an encouraging outcome for the 27-year-old who exited his start Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays after three perfect innings because of forearm tightn...
