Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:12 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — Frustrated after losing two straight at home, the Baltimore Orioles won another close game to regain some of the momentum they had before the Texas Rangers came to town.Austin Hays singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to cap a three-hit performance, and Baltimore squeezed past Texas 3-2 on Sunday to avert a three-game sweep.After winning three in a row at Toronto and taking two of three at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles were outscored 17-5 by Texas in the first two games of the series. They entered the finale in danger of being swept for the first time this season.Instead, Baltimore got a much-needed victory.“It’s a great win,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “It’s always tough to get swept.”The Orioles could have fallen apart after Texas tied the game in the eighth. But they bounced back to improve to 10-6 in one-run games and clinch a winning record in May after negotiating a month that included Atlanta, Tampa Bay, the Angel...

Spanish PM Sánchez calls snap general election after disastrous local votes

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:12 GMT

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Monday called for snap elections to be held on July 23.Spain was due to hold general elections by the end of the year, but the Socialist leader announced his decision to move up the date following Sunday’s local elections, which saw his party suffer heavy losses across the country.The July 23 general election means that the vote will be held just three weeks after Spain takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union.With the Socialist party polling six points behind the center-right Popular Party (PP), that scenario opens up the possibility that the rotating presidency may begin with Sánchez as prime minister but conclude with PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo as Spain’s head of government.

Strong leg muscles may be linked with better outcomes after heart attack, study suggests

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:12 GMT

(CNN) — Growing evidence shows that building muscle strength can have benefits for your heart, even leading to better outcomes after a heart attack.Having a higher level of leg muscle strength appears to be “strongly associated” with a lower risk of developing heart failure after a heart attack, according to new research presented this month in Prague at the Heart Failure 2023 scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.The findings have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, but they highlight the importance of regular exercise and maintaining muscle strength in older age, as muscle mass can diminish with age, possibly affecting cardiovascular health, said Kensuke Ueno and Dr. Kentaro Kamiya, researchers in the Department of Rehabilitation at Kitasato University School of Allied Health Sciences in Japan and authors of the new research.Kamiya said that after a heart attack, medically known as a myocardial infarction, the heart can go th...

(CNN) — Party leaders in Washington are waging an urgent campaign Monday to convince Democrats and Republicans to get behind compromise legislation that would avert a first-ever national default, with each side proclaiming victory following marathon talks.Prospects for passage of the bill, based on the agreement struck between President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, grew Sunday as many centrist Democrats fell in line and Republicans maintained confidence that they would be able to carry the support of the majority of their House conference in a pivotal vote expected Wednesday.In both parties’ sights are those in the political middle, who leaders are wagering will swallow some provisions they disagree with in order to suspend the federal borrowing limit through January 1, 2025 – after the next presidential election – and avoid default.
