PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rookie infielder Liover Peguero had two hits in a six-run third inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates chased Spencer Strider early before holding off the Atlanta Braves for a rain-delayed 7-6 victory Monday night.Connor Joe homered in the fourth to help the fourth-place Pirates hand the major league-leading Braves their third consecutive defeat.

He allowed five hits, walked three and struck out three.Carmen Mlodzinski (2-2) retired all four batters he faced for the win.The Braves closed to 7-6 in the ninth when Michael Harris II hit a leadoff double and scored on Ozzie Albies’ groundout, but closer David Bednar held on for his 23rd save in 25 opportunities.Matt Olson had two hits and drove in two runs for Atlant...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Freddy Peralta struck out 13 to match his career high and allowed just one hit over seven innings in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 12-1 blowout of the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.“What was fun for me was I knew that I had a lot of strikeouts today but I had no idea about how many,” Peralta said. “When I finished, Big Woo (teammate Brandon Woodruff) came in and he told me, ‘You can only strike out 13?’ I didn’t know that. I had no idea.”Milwaukee’s Sal Frelick went 2 for 3 with a three-run homer, scored three times and had four RBIs. Brice Turang and Tyrone Taylor also went deep. William Contreras went 3 for 5, scored twice and had three RBIs.Peralta (8-8) gave up a homer to Ezequiel Tovar with one out in the first inning, but the Rockies wouldn’t put a runner on base the rest of the night.It was the third time in franchise history the Brewers allowed only one base runner in a single game.

For Nigeria’s Super Falcons, a narrow Women’s World Cup exit is the start of a journey, not the end

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:04:20 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Nigeria lineup had two chances hit the crossbar in a scoreless draw, and only missed out on the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals after losing a penalty shootout against England.By taking the European champions right to the wire, the Super Falcons proved, once again, that rankings are less important than respect for rival teams under the tournament’s expanded 32-team format.In the group stage, Nigeria held Olympic champion Canada to a 0-0 draw, upset co-host Australia 3-2 and advanced to the knockout stage after a 0-0 draw with Ireland. A late red card for England forward Lauren James for stomping on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie took the focus off two tight halves of football on Monday night that could have gone either way. Ashleigh Plumptre’s left-foot strike cannoned into the crossbar in the 17th minute and her right-foot shot, moments after the ball rebounded, forced a diving save from England goalkeeper Mary Earps.

A step too far. Lauren James shown a red card in England’s Women’s World Cup win over Nigeria

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:04:20 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — One wrong step cost Lauren James any chance of playing in the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals, and very easily could have ended England’s progress in the tournament.The 21-year-old forward was shown a red card for violent conduct late in regulation time on Monday in a tense round-of-16 game against Nigeria, leaving England in a 10-on-11 scenario for more than a half-hour before it ended 0-0 after extra time.Rachel Daly was one of the successful penalty takers as European champion England won the shootout 4-2 to secure a spot in the next round, and later put an arm around James to console her young teammate.The extraordinary ejection happened after James lost possession in a contest with defender Michelle Alozie in the 84th minute. After losing her balance and falling on top of Alozie, James pushed herself up and then stepped on the Nigeria defender with the studs of her right boot.“She’s disappointed. She’s upset. She’s a young player and I thi...
