He got into a lot of chase counts and attacked guys.”Faedo, who started the season in Triple-A, won for the second time in 16 career starts.“This felt really good,” he said. “That’s the best slider I’ve had since I’ve been back up here and (Eric) Haase did a great job of calling pitches.”Lucas Giolito (3-4) matched a career-high with seven walks and was tagged for four runs in 3 2/3 innings.

ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley hit a pair of monstrous homers and pinch-hitter Travis d’Arnaud came through with a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning that carried the Atlanta Braves to an 8-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night. D’Arnaud, sent up for slumping Michael Harris II with the bases loaded, lined a one-out single to left field off Gregory Soto (1-4). Matt Olson added a sacrifice fly.In the first meeting between the NL East rivals since the Phillies’ upset victory in the 2022 divisional round, both teams displayed plenty of power to open a four-game series.Bryce Harper hit a mammoth homer for the Phillies, and Alec Bohm connected on a two-run shot. Marcell Ozuna went deep for the Braves, who became the first team in nearly four years to hit three homers off Aaron Nola.There was no doubt about either of Riley’s long balls — both carried to nearly the same spot way up in the left-field seats.

WASHINGTON DC- La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos se posicionó este jueves a favor de un matrimonio que había denunciado a la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA, pro sus siglas en inglés), y coincidió con esa pareja en que el organismo no tiene autoridad para intervenir en su terreno.Una decisión contra la que se expresó tajantemente el presidente de EEUU Joe Biden, quien en un comunicado consideró que el fallo “pone en riesgo de contaminación y destrucción los humedales del país” y también pone en peligro las fuentes de agua limpia de las que se nutren millones de estadounidenses.Además, recalcó que la sentencia “cambia drásticamente” el marco legal que ha protegido el agua del país durante décadas y “desafía a la ciencia, que ha demostrado el papel crucial de los humedales en salvaguardar los ríos y los lagos de los contaminantes que dañan” la salud de los ciudadanos.La batalla legal de los Sackett, de Idaho, se remonta a hace más de una décad...Denver weather: Storm chances through Memorial Day weekend

The military’s top general cautioned Thursday that F-16s won’t act as a “magic weapon” for Ukraine, but the U.S. is fully behind a group of NATO allies taking the lead on training and potentially transferring the jets to Kyiv.“The Russians have 1,000 fourth-generation fighters,” Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley told reporters at the Pentagon following a virtual meeting of the multinational Ukraine Defense Contact Group. “If you’re gonna contest Russia in the air, you’re gonna need a substantial amount of fourth and fifth generation fighters, so if you look at the cost curve and do the analysis, the smartest thing to have done is exactly what we did do, which is provide a significant amount of integrated air defenses to cover the battlespace and deny the Russians the airspace.”Milley’s comments followed similar points made this week by Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who said the jets are “not going to be a dramatic game-changer” for Ukraine, though “it’s something that makes s...Charles Michel’s flights: Green … or greenwashed?

BRUSSELS — European Council President Charles Michel is vying to keep greening his image with a scheme increasingly criticized as greenwashing.Just weeks after coming under fire for his heavy use of private jets, the EU chief tasked with corralling the bloc’s 27 leaders is seeking to purchase more carbon credits as the miles rack up. According to a little-noticed bid for a contract posted on the EU’s public database, the Council is looking to purchase “carbon credits to offset the CO2 produced during the flight travels of the President of the European Council.”In effect, that means the Council is trying to cancel its airborne carbon footprint by supporting carbon-reducing projects elsewhere. It’s a tactic Michel’s team has employed and touted before. Since 2021, for instance, the Council says Michel’s private flights have been offset by support for a Brazilian ceramics factory switching to renewable energy. And starting in 2022, the funding has covered all of Mi...Latest news
