ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Houston Astros know they are in for quite a fight to overtake their instate rival to win another AL West title. They won this round, even after blowing an eight-run lead on Monday.José Abreu and Chas McCormick had back-to-back RBI doubles in the ninth inning in a wild 12-11 win for the second-place Astros over the division-leading Texas Rangers to take three of four games in the series. “It gives us momentum.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:10:00 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — It’s fair to say things have not gone to plan for Todd Boehly at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino is promising to change all that. The Premier League club’s new manager officially got down to work on Monday and in his first day in the office gave a glimpse of the ambition that likely convinced Boehly he was the man to turn Chelsea’s fortunes around. “In the last 10, 12, 15 years, Chelsea is the greatest team in England. I know very well the Premier League and what the culture of Chelsea means,” Pochettino said. “We need to be sure that we bring what the club needs to be at the top because the history of the club is to be at the top.”Pochettino is already Boehly’s third managerial appointment in what has been chaotic first year of the American businessman’s co-ownership with private investment firm Clearlake Capital. Champions League-winning manager Thomas Tuchel was fired within weeks of the start of last season and replaced with Graham...

Marta played for a few minutes on Sunday, when Brazil beat Chile 4-0 in its last friendly before the trip.“I can only be thankful to have lived all those years in the national team,” added Marta,...
