John Means flirts with another no-hitter to help Orioles beat Guardians, 2-1, ending 3-game skid: ‘Exactly what we needed’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:01:17 GMT

John Means threw his signature changeup, then grimaced and dropped his head. He knew immediately that his pursuit of a second no-hitter, just like the ball off Andrés Giménez’s bat, was gone.The two-out home run in the seventh inning marked the first hit Means allowed in his third start back with the Orioles after last year’s Tommy John elbow reconstruction, and it provided the only run the Cleveland Guardians scored in Baltimore’s 2-1 victory.Means’ pitch count likely would have prevented him from finishing the feat, as he did May 5, 2021, against the Seattle Mariners for the Orioles’ first solo no-hitter since 1969. Saturday’s start marked Means’ longest since that game, as well as the club’s deepest no-hit bid since.“I’m going until [manager Brandon Hyde] tells me no,” Means said. “I was ready to go the whole time.”He followed Giménez’s home run, on his season-high 89th pitch, by in...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:01:17 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan has joined efforts to get the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on a federal court case out of Oregon that could reshape rules surrounding how cities can address homeless encampments.On Thursday, Stephan's office submitted a brief as an "amicus curiae," or "friend of the court," to support the case City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Gloria Johnson, et al. that is angling to be heard by the highest court in the land. The lawsuit, which was brought by three unhoused residents in the small Oregon town of Grants Pass, sought to overturn city ordinances that restricted camping and sleeping in public through fines and other regulations.Last year, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the homeless plaintiffs, saying in its decision that it was a violation of the Eighth Amendment to punish people for sleeping in public when there is nowhere else for them to go.

COSTA DA CAPARICA, Portugal (AP) — Sofia Oliveira was 12 years old when catastrophic wildfires in central Portugal killed more than 100 people in 2017.
