Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:35:46 GMT

By DOUG ALDENBOSTON — A five-run second inning did the A’s in on Friday night, ultimately leading them to a 7-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox and keeping them on-pace for a historic low in MLB’s modern history.Yu Chang, out since April with a broken bone in his left hand, drove in the first two runs of the game with a bases-loaded single and was one of six players with RBIs for Boston. The Red Sox pounded out 10 hits and extended their streak of games with 10 or more hits to six.Jarren Duran, Justin Turner and Alex Verdugo had two hits apiece and each drove in a run for the Red Sox, who have won six of seven with two games remaining before the All-Star break. Nick Pivetta (5-5) struck out eight over five innings of relief and picked up the win.Seth Brown hit a two-run homer for MLB-worst Oakland, which fell to 2-2 on a six-game trip and to 25-65 overall. The .277 winning percentage is good for a 45-117 pace, which would not be worse than the 1962 New York Mets’ modern record of .250 (4...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:35:46 GMT

LAS VEGAS — There wasn’t a seat open in Thomas & Mack Center lower bowl five hours before the Warriors opened their Vegas portion of Summer League against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.But unlike the typical Vegas Summer League night, the Warriors and Lakers weren’t part of the headlining act.Instead, it was French phenom Victor Wembanyama’s first taste of NBA action that stole the show — and even had the Warriors looking on more than usual before they took the floor.About four hours before the Warriors fell 103-96 to the Lakers, Steve Kerr and several of his assistant coaches showed up early to catch a glimpse of Wembanyama, who didn’t live up to the expectations in his summer opener.Wembanyama was about as graceful on the floor as a bull in a china shop in his first game, which was the most hyped Summer League debut since former top pick Zion Williamson in 2019. The San Antonio Spurs had run sets that gave the No. 1 pick plenty of open looks but he s...
