Brewers ace Corbin Burnes has spent most of the season searching for the dominant form that won him the 2021 National League Cy Young Award.He found it Wednesday night against the Orioles.The right-hander twirled eight shutout innings, striking out nine and allowing two hits, to hand the Orioles a 10-2 defeat. He faced just two batters over the minimum.“Got to watch the last few innings inside, and just watch how he pitched on the corners,” said manager Brandon Hyde, noting how he could watch the final four innings on television after getting ejected in the fifth for arguing balls and strikes. “I thought he had great stuff tonight, kind of back to Cy Young stuff like he threw a couple years ago. Just had a tough time. He was on the corners all night with really good stuff, we had a tough time squaring him up.”After a scorching hot April, Baltimore’s offense has come back down the earth. The Orioles have scored three or fewer runs in nine of their past 1...Mets lose 5th straight despite valiant effort from Tommy Pham in place of injured Pete Alonso

ATLANTA — Tommy Pham replaced Pete Alonso in the cleanup spot and played the role as cast. However, the rest of the game didn’t go according to the script.The Mets avoided the worst with Alonso but failed to avoid the worst in this series. For the second night in a row, the Mets went up 4-1 on the Atlanta Braves before falling behind, 5-4, and ultimately losing, 7-5.With two out in the bottom of the eighth, Michael Harris II teed off on Adam Ottavino sending a two-run homer over the wall to hand the Mets (30-32) their fifth straight loss and their second straight series loss. For the second night in a row, the Mets went up 4-1 on the Braves (37-24). This time, they went up 2-0 before Max Scherzer gave up a run in the fourth and two runs in the fifth.Alonso was removed from the game with what the team is calling a “left wrist contusion,” after being hit on the left wrist with a 97 MPH fastball from Charlie Morton in the first inning. He left the game to underg...Chris Murphy makes strong debut in otherwise error-filled Red Sox loss

“We knew Boston had problems with their defense, guys. We didn’t know it was gonna play like this, though.”The Cleveland Guardians broadcasters couldn’t believe their eyes when the Red Sox infield committed a slew of errors in the bottom of the fourth, giving the home team a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.It's called the Hot Corner for a reason.The @CleGuardians capitalize on multiple Boston miscues and take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning.#ForTheLand pic.twitter.com/il3rfVZwPz— Bally Sports Cleveland (@BallySportsCLE) June 8, 2023Perhaps they shouldn’t have been throwing stones from their glass house, as the Guardians infield had committed their own pair of errors in the top of that very inning.Nevertheless, the Red Sox have been all errors and no comedy this season and it continues to cost them. They already led the American League with 40 errors before making three in the same inning on Wednesday night.After Amed Rosario ...House Republicans pull back contempt charge against FBI director Wray over Biden doc

By FARNOUSH AMIRI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday called off a vote on a contempt of Congress charge against FBI Director Christopher Wray, accepting a last-minute offer by the bureau to allow the full committee access to a confidential document of an unverified tip about President Joe Biden.Rep. James Comer said in a statement that the committee is removing a contempt resolution against Wray from Thursday’s schedule after receiving an accommodation that would give the full committee access to the document. “Allowing all Oversight Committee members to review this record is an important step toward conducting oversight of the FBI and holding it accountable to the American people,” the Kentucky Republican said. The action that played out over the last month against Wray reflects a larger breakdown between Republicans and the FBI that has only intensified this year, with some conservatives...Dozens of rats living inside van in North County rescued

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission said Thursday it will investigate 237 more cases of South Korean adoptees who suspect their family origins were manipulated to facilitate their adoptions in Europe and the United States. The new cases in the commission’s expanded inquiry into South Korea’s foreign adoption boom involve adoptees in 11 nations including the United States, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who were adopted from 1960 to 1990. More than 300 adoptees from Europe, North America and Australia filed applications last year demanding their cases be investigated.The commission said most of the applicants claim their adoptions were based on falsified records that laundered their status or origin to ensure their adoptability and expedite custody transfers across borders. Some applicants asked the commission to look into abuse they say they experienced at South Korean orphanages or under the care of their foreign adoptive parents.Whe...American Roger Reeves wins Griffin Poetry Prize for ‘Best Barbarian’

TORONTO — American poet Roger Reeves won the $130,000 Griffin Poetry Prize with his book “Best Barbarian” at a ceremony in Toronto on Wednesday evening.The Austin, Texas-based writer is also the recipient of a Whiting Award and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.Griffin judges praise “Best Barbarian” for charting “the ruptures and violences enacted across time and space — particularly against Black humanity — while leaning always toward beauty.”In his acceptance speech, Reeves thanked his grandmother, who moved from South Carolina to New Jersey to clean homes, including for some of the first Black women to get PhDs in the United States.When she was cleaning those houses, he said, she’d tell her grandson to look up at the shelves.“She would say look at those shelves. Just look at them,” Reeves said.“There’s no way that I could ever have imagined that looking at those bookshelves would bring me here, to this.”This is the first year the Gri...Latest news
