Joey Gallo’s HR landed him in leadoff spot again, but not the Twins’ record book

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:48:34 GMT

Hitting leadoff seemed to agree with Joey Gallo on Saturday, so Rocco Badlelli penciled him atop the order for Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs at Target Field.“He was begging for it after the game yesterday,” Baldelli said.In his first career start batting leadoff, Gallo went 2 for 5 with a home run and four RBIs. That broke up a 3-for-32 skid over Gallo’s previous 12 games.“I think the initial shock of seeing his name there snapped him into a really good place,” Baldelli said.On Sunday against the Cubs, Gallo was 1 for 4 through with a two-run home run that gave the Twins an 8-0 lead in the third inning. He left the game with an apparent leg injury after grounding out to short to end the seventh inning.Gallo’s three-run home run off Cubs starter Hayden Wesneski in the third was celebrated for “breaking” StatCast because MLB’s stat-gathering system didn’t have an immediate read on it. With no official reading, social erupted into superlatives.But on Sunday, the homer...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:48:34 GMT

As the Broncos’ personnel department put its finishing touches on an NFL draft strategy late last month, Jacques Patrick capped a strong XFL campaign April 22 with two touchdown runs against the DC Defenders.Fast forward to mid-May and Patrick found himself in Denver’s rookie minicamp along side 56 other players — mostly a combination of draft picks, college free agents and tryouts — trying to make a strong impression for coach Sean Payton and his staff.Patrick, quarterback Ben DiNucci and edge rusher Trent Harris all turned their XFL seasons into tryout invites from the Broncos and on Saturday spoke highly of what the league owned by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia.“It was cool, man. I’ve been telling guys about it here, it was a rebound opportunity, that’s really what it is,” Patrick told The Post. “I was just in there talking to someone in the steam room and I was just telling him, ‘Bro, I remember my first couple of years in the (NFL) playing and then getting cut...

The Bottom Line: What is a Maverick? The Maverick is a compact sized pickup truck built in the Ford assembly plant in Hermosillo, Sonar, Mexico, and is sold in North America by the Ford Motor Company.

Ford now builds pickup trucks in small, medium and large, making Ford the #1 volume pickup truck manufacturer in the world.First, the 2023 Ford Maverick is smaller than other compact and midsize trucks as a unibody truck.

Manchester City 3 points away from Premier League title after Arsenal’s latest loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:48:34 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester City is one win away from a third straight Premier League title and a fifth in six seasons under Pep Guardiola.English soccer’s dominant force was tested by a new rival in the form of Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s team has buckled under the pressure of trying to keep pace with Guardiola’s relentless trophy-winning machine. While the race is not over yet, it would take a remarkable collapse for City to throw it away now. “We have to apologize to our people, especially for the second half,” Arteta said after his team’s 3-0 loss to Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.It was the fifth time in seven games that Arsenal has dropped points in the closing weeks of the season.By comparison, City’s 3-0 win against Everton earlier in the day extended its unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions, including 11 straight wins in the league. City has been near-perfect, while Arsenal’s challenge has melted in the heat of th...
