Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 09:50:18 GMT

If ever the Cubs would need classic Kyle Hendricks it’s now, in the thick of a playoff chase.Marcus Stroman’s right rib cartilage fracture will keep him out indefinitely, and the Cubs hope reliever Drew Smyly will be up to the task when he starts Tuesday, so Hendricks is the next best bet behind Justin Steele.On Sunday, Hendricks delivered during a 4-3 win over the Royals — backed by home runs from Seiya Suzuki and Miguel Amaya — to close out the series 2-1.During a challenging August in which his ERA inflated to 4.00, he showed a little vintage Hendricks, touching 90 mph a couple of times.“Yeah, it’s been a while,” Hendricks said. “I mean, it definitely shows me I’m doing the right things. And I’m where I need to be strength-wise.“You do get a little pumped, and I think the guys get excited behind me when they see it.”That includes manager David Ross, who added, “That was cool, that was really nice.

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 09:50:18 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Deadly floodwaters inundated streets across Mexico’s arid Baja California on Sunday as Tropical Storm Hilary moved ashore carrying torrential rain into Southern California, while concerns mounted that flash floods could strike in places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such heavy rain.Forecasters said Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing flash floods, mudslides, high winds, power outages and the potential for isolated tornadoes.Hilary made landfall along the Mexican coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles (250 kilometers) south of Ensenada, on a path to hit mudslide-prone Tijuana Sunday evening, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the U.S. border. At least 9 million people were under flash-flood warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm.

Polls close in Guatemala’s presidential runoff as voters hope for real change

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 09:50:18 GMT

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Polls closed in Guatemala on Sunday evening after a tumultuous campaign that pitted an anti-corruption advocate against a former first lady seen as an ally to the outgoing government in a presidential runoff election.The two candidates offered starkly different paths forward. Former first lady Sandra Torres became an ally of outgoing, deeply unpopular President Alejandro Giammattei in her third bid for the presidency. Her opponent, Bernardo Arévalo, with the progressive Seed Movement, rode a wave of popular resentment toward politics to his surprise spot in the runoff.But moves to drag the electoral process into the courts after the first round of voting in June led many Guatemalans to wonder what was to come between Sunday’s results and the transfer of power Jan. 14.Central America’s most populous country and the region’s largest economy continues to struggle with widespread poverty and violence that have driven hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans to mi...
