Guardians clinch postseason spot with walk-off hit by pitch, complete historic turnaround

September 27, 2025

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said during the Guardians’ 10-game losing streak in July that things would turn around. The Guardians ended up making one of the biggest turnarounds in baseball history. Cleveland clinched a postseason spot Saturday night with a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. C.J. Kayfus was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottomg of the ninth inning, forcing home the winning run. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the first time since at least 1920 that a team won on a walk-off hit by pitch to clinch a postseason spot. The Guardians are the first American League team to reach the playoffs after having a 10-game losing streak during the season.

September 27, 2025

The Boston clinch party moved across the diamond. Less than 24 hours after the Red Sox drenched the home clubhouse at Fenway Park to celebrate their postseason berth, the Detroit Tigers were spraying Champagne in the visitors’ locker room after beating Boston to earn a spot in the American League playoffs. After blowing a 14-game lead in the AL Central and an eighth-inning lead on Friday night that would have secured their spot a day earlier, the Tigers beat the Red Sox 2-1 on Saturday. Assured at least a wild card, Detroit can still win the division and host a first-round series — but only with help from Cleveland.

Four people have died after heavy rain caused flooding in Arizona, including three in a rural 19th-century mining town where floodwaters forced people to seek safety on their rooftops and washed out a propane distributorship, scattering about 1,000 tanks downtown. About 2.5 inches of rain fell in the mining town of Globe on Friday. Another storm moved in Saturday afternoon, temporarily halting the search for people possibly missing in the flood. Another person was found dead Saturday morning near a vehicle caught in floodwaters in suburban Phoenix the night before.

September 27, 2025

U.S. fans kept chanting and cheering the home team at the Ryder Cup until the result basically seemed lost. The notorious crowd at Bethpage Black directed most of its vitriol at Rory McIlroy and Europe and tried to will the Americans back into the tournament. Some unsavory interactions with McIlroy led to increased security for his match and the three others in the afternoon. With Europe rolling toward victory, ticket prices for singles play Sunday plummeted to less than half of face value.

Alonso and Holmes lead Mets past Marlins 5-0 to push NL wild-card race to final day of season

September 27, 2025

Pete Alonso homered and drilled an RBI double, Clay Holmes combined with three relievers on a one-hitter, and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 to push their playoff fate to the final day of the regular season. The Mets pulled a half-game ahead of Cincinnati for the last National League wild card. The Reds were set to play at NL Central champion Milwaukee later Saturday. Because the Reds hold the head-to-head tiebreaker, New York needs Cincinnati to lose at least one of its final two games against the Brewers to have a chance to reach the postseason. Holmes allowed just a single in six innings. Brooks Raley and Tyler Rogers each worked a perfect inning before Edwin Díaz got three outs to end it.

September 27, 2025

Scottie Scheffler has had no answers this week at Bethpage Black. The world’s No. 1-ranked player lost twice more on Saturday to become the first U.S. player to lose in each of the first four sessions of the Ryder Cup, a big reason Europe has a commanding 11 1/2 to 4 1/2 lead. England’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood rallied after Scheffler briefly had his only lead of the day in a 3-and-2 victory. No one — much less the No. 1 player in golf — has ever started a Ryder Cup 0-4 under the current format that dates to 1979.

September 27, 2025

September 27, 2025

It might be fair to say nobody was going to beat a Ryder Cup duo on a roll — one that’s so good, it has its own nickname, “Fleetwood Mac.” But Harris English and Collin Morikawa against one of Europe’s best teams never seemed like a fair fight. American captain Keegan Bradley put those two together not once but twice, and bad luck paired them against Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood both times. The Americans didn’t make it past the 16th hole in either match, and their 3-and-2 loss in Saturday’s foursomes could have been worse had they not fought back to win two holes in a row toward the end.

Horton, one of the leading contenders for NL Rookie of the Year, has a right rib fracture. The IL move was made retroactive to Thursday. The loss of Horton is a big blow for Chicago going into its first postseason appearance since 2020. The 24-year-old Horton, a first-round pick in the 2022 amateur draft, is 8-1 with a sparkling 1.03 ERA in 12 starts since the All-Star break.

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is only two pages and alleges he falsely testified to Congress in 2020 about authorizing someone to be an anonymous source in news stories. There’s a backstory and it involves a long-running feud between Trump and Comey. Trump blames Comey for having started an investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 campaign that led to the appointment of a special counsel. Trump has spent years bashing Comey and saying he was worthy of being charged with treason. Comey has hardly backed down. In a 2018 memoir, Comey compared Trump to a mafia don and said he was unethical and “untethered to truth.”

As Democrats prepare for a possible federal shutdown, their endgame is uncertain

September 27, 2025

Senate Democrats have struggled for months to counter President Donald Trump. Now, with a possible government shutdown looming, they’ve settled on a bold, one-step strategy if they don’t get significant concessions on health care before federal funding runs out Wednesday. That strategy is to vote to shut down. The plan is heartily endorsed by many of the party’s frustrated voters in the base and by activists. Less clear is what’s in the party playbook come that deadline. That’s when the administration could begin laying off hundreds or even thousands of federal workers, if it carries through with plans laid out by the White House this week.

September 27, 2025

Tensions between the United States and Colombia have escalated with the State Department saying it was revoking the visa of Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro’s visa. The decision comes after Petro participated in a New York protest Friday during the U.N. General Assembly. He urged American soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump’s orders. The State Department says his actions were “reckless and incendiary.” Petro returned to Colombia on Saturday and dismissed the punishment. He says he’s also a European citizen and doesn’t need a visa to travel to the U.S. There have been repeated clashes between Petro, a leftist and former rebel leader, and Trump’s Republican administration.

Why many young adults turn on TV or movie subtitles, according to a new poll

September 27, 2025

A new poll finds that younger adults are more likely to use subtitles while watching TV or movies than are older adults. About 4 in 10 adults under 45 use subtitles at least “often” when watching TV or movies, compared with about 3 in 10 adults over 45. That’s according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. U.S. adults 60 and older are especially likely to say they “never” or “rarely” use subtitles. The poll suggests many young adults use subtitles because they’re watching in noisy environments or are multitasking, while older adults choose them to better hear or understand what’s being said.

The Europeans will run it back with all four of their teams, hoping to build on their 5 1/2-2 1/2 lead.
