Luis Severino dominates, Billy McKinney homers as Yankees even series with Rangers in 1-0 win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:17 GMT

Luis Severino flashed his dominant self on Saturday afternoon.The Yankees’ right-hander bounced back in a big way in their 1-0 win over the Rangers to even up the three-game series. Severino tossed six shutout innings allowing five hits while striking out four.It was exactly what the doctor ordered for the 29-year-old who entered the afternoon with a 6.30 ERA on the season. The Bombers needed every bit of Severino’s performance as their bats continue to lay dormant in the absence of Aaron Judge.The only offense came off the bat of Billy McKinney who blasted a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth. The outfielder has been one of the very few contributors at the dish during the Yanks’ recent struggles.The left-handed hitter is slashing .320/.346/.660 with four homers in 15 games played this season.The rest of the Bombers’ lineup combined for just three hits, all singles by Giancarlo Stanton, Harrison Bader and Anthony Rizzo.Aaron Boone’s bullpen was test...

Railroad union official: Safety compromised by job cuts and time constraints

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:17 GMT

Freight railcar inspections are happening less often and are not as thorough as in years past due to staff cuts, time constraints and regulatory loopholes, a union official testified Friday during a federal hearing to examine the reasons behind a fiery train derailment in Ohio.The National Transportation Safety Board said in its preliminary report that an overheating wheel bearing likely caused the Feb. 3 Norfolk Southern derailment that sent a plume of toxic black smoke into the sky near East Palestine, Ohio. Several tank cars were damaged in the crash, and officials decided that five of them containing vinyl chloride needed to be blown open to release the chemical and prevent an explosion.It’s not clear whether an inspector would have been able to catch that the bearing was failing because it is sealed within the railcar’s axle. No inspector was even given a chance.Jason Cox with the Transportation Communications Union testified Friday during the second day of the NTSB hearing tha...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Flying from Florida to Buenos Aires usually takes about 10 hours, but the turboprop landing in Argentina on Saturday was no normal plane. It had been en route for 20 days, and many Argentines eagerly refreshed flight tracking software to keep tabs on its progress.The Short SC.7 Skyvan carried no crucial cargo nor VIP passengers. Rather, the plane will be another means for Argentines to reckon with the brutal history of their country’s 1976-1983 military dictatorship.The plane, which was discovered in the U.S., is the first ever proven in a court to have been used by Argentina’s junta to hurl political detainees to their deaths from the sky, one of the bloody period’s most cold-blooded atrocities.Argentina’s government will add the plane to the Museum of Memory, which is in what was the junta’s most infamous secret detention center. Known as the ESMA, it housed many of the detainees who were later tossed alive from the “death flights” into t...
