Rockies lose ninth consecutive road game after falling 4-1 at Houston

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:52 GMT

Move over June swoon. It’s time for a July to make Colorado fans cry.That’s assuming, of course, they have any tears left to give.After Houston handed Colorado a third straight loss to begin the month Tuesday afternoon inside Minute Maid Park — a 4-1 defeat — the Rockies are back on track to submit the first 100-loss season in franchise history.At 33-54, they now have a .379 win percentage after delivering a dud on the Fourth of July holiday — a pace that would result in a 61-101 finish.Left-hander Kyle Freeland, the staff ace by virtue of the raft of injuries that’s hit Colorado’s rotation, battled in his 17th start of the season.The control issues that derailed Freeland’s last outing, when he gave up five walks and six runs in a 9-8 Colorado win over the Dodgers, weren’t as pronounced Tuesday. But his velocity was still lacking as the lefty threw 56 of 91 pitches for strikes and finished with four runs, nine hits, two walks and three strik...

“Liberty, equality, fraternity” for all? New riots make France confront an old problem

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:52 GMT

PARIS — “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”: The lofty ideals to which France has long aspired are embossed on coins and carved above school doors across the land. Yet they are the polar opposite of what some French people who are Black or brown saw in a shocking video of a police officer shooting and killing a 17-year-old delivery driver of north African descent during a traffic stop.That kid, some said to themselves, could have been me — or my children, or my friends. Within hours, the first fires of anger and revenge were lighting up the night skies of Nanterre, the Paris suburb where the teenager, Nahel, was declared dead at 9:15 a.m. last Tuesday. His left arm and chest had been pierced from left to right by a single shot fired before the yellow Mercedes he was driving then slammed into barriers on Nelson Mandela Square.From the town on the fringe of the French capital’s high-rise business district, with its disadvantaged housing projects, glaring wealth gaps, and melti...

Trinity Rodman collected the ball just outside the penalty area and needed just one more touch to send it into the lower left corner of the net.About a month shy of her 20th birthday, she’d scored her first goal for the U.S. women’s national team.That was April 2022 in a blowout win over Uzbekistan. Now, a far greater stage awaits at the Women’s World Cup beginning later this month. On a U.S. team that will soon have to embrace a new generation of standouts, Rodman belongs on any list of possible breakout stars in Australia and New Zealand. But with those expectations comes a new kind of pressure. She’s dealt with that in various forms throughout her short career, and now she’s ready for this next challenge.“I’m so honored, proud, and just excited for this opportunity,” she said. “At this age, there’s so much time to accomplish things, but to experience it this early has been so amazing, and I’m just so excited.”The daughter of basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, Trinity has bec...

How Warriors’ rookie Brandin Podziemski fared in Summer League opener

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:52 GMT

Brandin Podziemski’s first action in Warriors threads was a mixed bag.The Golden State Warriors’ 19th overall pick showed flashes of promise as a decision-maker and scrappy guard in the Summer League opener against the Sacramento Kings, a 100-94 loss on Monday night in the first of two California Classic games at Golden 1 Center.Podziemski, 20, passed on some open shots initially, scoring four points through the first three quarters. But he settled into a 12 point with some late scoring, including a three-pointer in the fourth quarter.“The next step with him is we got to find ways as a staff to put him in position so he can be more of a scorer, looking to score,” Summer League head coach Jacob Rubin said. “He’s been good for us getting in the paint and facilitating, we just got to find a way for the ball to find him a little bit more.”What stood out was Podziemski’s playmaking out of the pick-and-roll. He had six assists and was aggressive on the boards with six re...
