RENO, Nev. (AP) — The mid-air collision that killed two racing pilots in Reno last weekend is confounding aviation experts. The first- and second-place winning pilots, both Californians, crashed Sunday at the National Air Race Championships, possibly because of an aircraft blind spot, glare from the sun or even a brief moment of lost focus, experts said. But many are dumbfounded by the fact that such experienced pilots who’d raced their T-6 warbirds at the same site so many times couldn't naviga
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ronald Acuna Jr. joined the exclusive 40-40 club as the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 9-6 on Friday night. With the win, Atlanta moves four games ahead of the Dodgers for the top seed in the National League. The Braves hold the tiebreaker over Los Angeles based on a 4-3 season series. Acuna’s 40th homer led off the game against Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin. The blast was Acuna’s 34th leadoff home run in his career and eighth this season. He is the first player
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge became the first player in Yankees history with two three-homer games in one season, and New York cruised to a 7-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Arizona's five-game winning streak was snapped, and the Diamondbacks' lead over the Chicago Cubs for the second of three NL wild-card spots was reduced to one game. Arizona dropped to 1-7 against New York teams this season after dropping six of seven to the Mets. Judge hit a three-run shot in the thir
The news comes one month after Davidson ended his relationship with Chase Sui Wonders, while Cline last dated DJ Zack Bia and her 'Outer Banks' costar, Chase Stokes
OTTAWA — Dustin Crum threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another to lead the Ottawa Redblacks to a 36-28 win over the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday. Crum finished with 243 passing yards as the Redblacks (4-10) halted a seven-game losing streak and held on to their faint playoff hopes. The Roughriders (6-8) suffered their third straight loss and remain third in the West Division despite two touchdown passes and 291 yards from Jake Dolegala. Ottawa got some breathing room un
BOSTON (AP) — Masataka Yoshida hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning after Adam Duvall's sacrifice fly, and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Playing their first game after being eliminated from postseason contention, the Red Sox (76-78) won for just the second time in eight games. Looking to avoid just their second 100-loss season in 53 years, the White Sox (58-96) lost for the 10th time in their last 13 games. Red Sox starter Chris Sa
Only six teams since 1979 have dropped their first three games and reached the playoffs since 1979. Can the Broncos break the curse? Troy Renck reports.
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Goals by Nichelle Prince and Adriana Leon gave Olympic champion Canada a 2-0 win over Jamaica on Friday in the opening game of a two-legged Olympic qualifier. The Canadian women had the upper hand for most of the evening and had chances to add to the lead after Prince opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Leon made it 2-0 in stoppage time, celebrating her 100th cap by flicking in a Gabby Carle feed for her 30th career goal as Jamaica pressed for an equalizer. The clean sheet
Daniel Valdez — much like the lowriders, zoot suits and huaraches on display at the Denver Art Museum — is an icon of Chicano culture. That’s why Valdez was honored this week at an Hispanic Heritage Month event hosted by US Bank, the sponsor of the Denver Art Museum’s “Desert Rider” exhibit, which closes September 24.
Several dozen migrants retreated in frustration from train tracks outside Mexico City on Friday, blocked by Mexican officials from hitching rides on cargo wagons in a major new enforcement effort to curb the flow of people headed north. Thousands of people have reached the northern border in recent days and crossed into the United States, many after taking dangerous journeys on freight trains known as "The Beast." Mexican railroad operator Ferromex this week suspended 60 trains due to the influx of people, and Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) has deployed agents to dissuade people from climbing aboard.
