He struck out just five but induced plenty of weak contact.“I think when I’m at my best it’s pretty effortless, and just kind of smooth and easy, and that’s how it felt tonight,” said Gilbert, who was perfect in innings three through six. “It’s kind of what we were working on in the midweek bullpen, and happy to take it into the game.”American League batting leader Austin Hays singled in the second for Baltimore’s lone hit until Anthony Santander homered in the seventh.The Mariners were already comfortably ahead before they added seven runs in the eighth.

The crowd of 49,795 chanted “Cheater! Cheater!” in between heavy booing during their at-bats. Altuve and Bregman were a combined 0 for 6.

EU gains new sanctions weapon but will probably be too nice to use it

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:20:05 GMT

The European Union agreed to strengthen its sanctions arsenal this week, making it possible to punish countries that are helping Russia evade sanctions. But it’s likely to shy away from doing so, say experts.To starve Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine of funding, the EU has banned trade in a host of goods that are either seen as generating significant revenue for the Kremlin or are used on the battlefield following the invasion of Ukraine. But some countries, like Central Asian Kazakhstan and Armenia, have been accused of helping Russia dodge sanctions by accepting flows of sanctioned goods through their territory. As the sanctioned goods aren’t sent directly to Russia from an EU country, these trade movements are much harder to track. That’s what the EU now wants to tackle.After adopting 10 sanction packages following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, EU ambassadors this week agreed to a new mechanism: If third coun...

Kansas’ attorney general is moving to block trans people from changing their birth certificates

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:20:05 GMT

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Transgender people born in Kansas could be prevented from changing their birth certificates to reflect their gender identities if the state’s conservative Republican attorney is successful with a legal move he launched late Friday.Attorney General Kris Kobach filed a request in federal court asking a judge to end a requirement for Kansas to allow transgender people to change their birth certificates. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree imposed the requirement in 2019 to settle a lawsuit filed by four transgender Kansas residents against three state health department officials over a policy that critics said prevented transgender people from making changes even after transitioning, legally changing their names and obtaining new driver’s licenses and Social Security cards.It wasn’t clear whether Kobach’s effort would succeed, given a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2020 declaring a federal law barring sex discrimination in employment also prevents discri...
