By Stephen HawkinsThe Associated PressARLINGTON, Texas — Adolis García hit a game-winning homer in the 11th inning after Corey Seager’s tying two-run shot in the ninth, and the Texas Rangers opened this surprise World Series of wild-card teams with a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.With one out, the Cuban slugger known as El Bombi drove a 3-1 sinker from Miguel Castro the other way into the front row of right-field seats beyond a leaping Corbin Carroll.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry picked up where he left off in last season’s playoffs against Sacramento, scoring 41 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 122-114 win over the Kings on Friday night.This was the first game at Golden 1 Center since Curry eliminated the Kings with a 50-point masterpiece in Game 7 of their first-round series last season. That series sparked a Northern California rivalry between franchises that had never before had success in the same season.A sellout crowd in the home opener was energized all night but left disappointed after the Kings once again had no answer for Curry, who put the game away with a back-breaking 3-pointer in the final minute.Curry scored 16 points in the third quarter to take control of the game.

Prince William County planning staff recommends denial of entire PW Digital Gateway

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:12:38 GMT

In a stunning rejection of the largest data center development in county history, Prince William County staff on Friday issued recommendations that the Planning Commission deny all three rezonings associated with the divisive PW Digital Gateway.County documents show staff suggested that the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of County Supervisors to not approve two rezoning requests by QTS Realty Trust Inc. — Digital Gateway North and South — and one by Compass Datacenters, which combined are aiming to build 23 million square feet of data centers on roughly 2,100 acres along Pageland Lane in western Prince William County near Gainesville.Staff rejected the applications largely because of the lack of information provided by developers. They pointed out that many of the documents submitted by the developers “contain technical errors, are contradictory, and contain nondescript verbiage, that may make enforcement of some of the proffers difficult.”Staff also determined the proje...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:12:38 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ketel Marte is becoming the Joe DiMaggio of October.Every time he’s played a postseason game, Marte has at least one hit. His latest, a fifth-inning RBI double off Nathan Eovaldi, gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a two-run lead in a 6-5, 11-inning loss to the Texas Rangers that opened the World Series on Friday night.While a fraction of Joe D.’s record 56-game streak for the 1941 New York Yankees, Marte’s 17-game run is the longest at the start of a postseason career. He tied the record for a postseason streak at any point, matching the mark shared by the New York Yankees’ Hank Bauer (1956-58 World Series), the Yankees’ Derek Jeter (1998-99) and Boston’s Manny Ramirez (2003-04).Marte is hitting .345 with two homers and nine RBIs in 13 games. He lined a curveball from Nathan Eovaldi 402 feet off the base of the wall in right-center to score Geraldo Perdomo, who singled and stole second. Now 30, Marte grew up in the Dominican Re...
