MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Marcus Rashford led Manchester United to its first Premier League win in six weeks as Erik ten Hag’s team overcame Brentford 1-0 to move back into the top four on Wednesday.Winning the English League Cup in February underlined the progress overseen by Ten Hag this season, but United has failed to win any of its three league matches since the victory at Wembley.A meek defeat at Newcastle on Sunday led Ten Hag to once again publicly question his players’ hunger, but United showed more character three days later to edge out Brentford in the pouring rain at Old Trafford.Rashford struck the first-half winner from the impressive Marcel Sabitzer’s knockdown, putting the hosts on course for just their fourth Premier League win in 10 matches.United dropped off after the break as Brentford bounced back from a subdued first-half display, but Thomas Frank’s team was unable to eke out an equalizer.David De Gea spread himself to block substitute Kevin Schade’s effort as...Bryce Harper takes on-field BP for 1st time since surgery

NEW YORK (AP) — Bryce Harper has taken on-field batting practice for the first time since Tommy John surgery last fall.Harper hit on the field before Tuesday night’s game at Yankee Stadium.“He feels great. It’s not hitting we’re concerned about, it’s sliding,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday. ”We got to get clearance from the doctor on that one first ’cause if he slides headfirst he could rupture, and we’re back to square one.”Harper, a two-time National League MVP, was operated on last Nov. 23. A right-handed thrower and left-handed batter, he was projected to return as a designated hitter by the All-Star break. Harper appears to be on track for an earlier return, and Philadelphia has hm on the 10-day injured list rather than the 60, which would have ruled him out until May 29.“He feels like his right arm is stronger than his left right now because he’s done so much rehab on it,” Thomson said.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.co...Cole outpitches Nola, Yankees win 4-2 as Phils fall to 1-5

NEW YORK (AP) — Gerrit Cole was relieved to have navigated Philadelphia’s lineup unscathed when he walked off the mound in the seventh inning after a pitch-clock violation resulted in a walk.“The Phillies are great. The lineup’s a joke, they’re so good,” he said.There is little laughing among the NL champions heading into their home opener. Philadelphia was held to two runs or fewer for the third time in four games, with Aaron Nola losing to Cole and the Yankees 4-2 Wednesday in a marquee matchup of premier pitchers.“It was going to be a fun scrap,” Cole said.Philadelphia fell to 1-5 for the first time since 2007.Cole was removed with one out in the seventh after shaking off catcher Jose Trevino with a full count on Nick Castellanos, resulting in Cole’s first clock violation. Reliever Jonathan Loáisiga allowed a single to Bryson Stott on his first pitch and hit Alec Bohm with his second, loading the bases, and Jake Cave’s sacrifice fly cut the def...La presidenta de Taiwán advierte que “la democracia está bajo amenaza” en un discurso conjunto con McCarthy

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former “Dances With Wolves” actor accused of sexually abusing Indigenous women and girls in the U.S. and Canada has asked a judge in Nevada to toss out a sweeping indictment against him, saying two Las Vegas area women identified as victims wanted to have sex with him.One of the women was younger than 16 — the age of consent in Nevada — when she says Nathan Chasing Horse began sexually abusing her. Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said Wednesday that she would issue her decision before the end of the week. She didn’t offer any indication as to how she might rule during her questioning of state prosecutors and Chasing Horse’s public defender.Chasing Horse, 46, was indicted in Nevada in February on 19 counts, including sexual assault of a minor, kidnapping, child abuse, lewdness and drug trafficking. He also faces sexual abuse charges in Canada and the U.S. District Court in Nevada, as well as on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana....Video shows men abandoning, tying up German shepherd puppy to fence in South Miami-Dade

A South Miami-Dade couple was stunned when they found a dog that was abandoned and alone on their property. Now, they want to know who dumped the puppy at their doorstep. Speaking with 7News on Wednesday, Jennifer Thompson said the German shepherd puppy was abandoned and tied to a fence outside her home with a 3-inch leash. “The dog was out there for about 16 hours before we even found it,” she said. “I’ve been gone for a few days. What if I stayed for a week? She would have been dead.”Thompson’s home surveillance cameras were rolling when a white pickup truck drove by along the 16000 block of Southwest 256th Street, just after 6 p.m., Tuesday. The driver appeared to look up the driveway. The truck then came back, stopped, and a man in a blue shirt popped the tailgate. He led the pup off the truck bed and took off. The puppy was seen chasing after them, but at some point, just past the hedges, someone got out and tied the German shepherd to the fence.Th...TikTok banned across Florida universities, including FIU, FAU

MILWAUKEE — Eduardo Escobar received another day off as the Mets searched for ways to jumpstart their third baseman.Escobar spent time talking to manager Buck Showalter in his office at American Family Field ahead of the Mets’ series finale with the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday morning, along with infield coach Joey Cora, and while the contents of the meeting were not disclosed, Showalter did voice his confidence in the 34-year-old Venezuelan that played such an important role for the Mets last summer.“We’re just trying to put our best foot forward today in the idea that it might make us better in the long run,” Showalter said. “And him, individually.”Showalter has always liked Escobar and it’s tough to not like him. He’s effusively positive and he’s a well-liked teammate in the clubhouse. But Brett Baty outplayed him in spring training and his offensive struggles over the first week of the 2023 season have been magnified...Latest news
