SEATTLE — Last year, Chris Coghlan was with a Cubs team that won 34 one-run games and went to the playoffs. The A’s are 2-2 in one-run games and a lot of the credit goes to their revamped bullpen, which has been outstanding. Friday’s standout was Fernando Rodriguez, who came in with two on and one out in the fifth and got last year’s home-run leader, Nelson Cruz, to hit into a double play, with shortstop Marcus Semien making a nice play on a tough hop. The A’s were in that situation in the first place because of an error by Jed Lowrie... Читать дальше...

A Dodgers’ right-hander named Ross Stripling, who hasn’t been around long enough to know any better, took it upon himself to upstage Bumgarner and Kershaw, two of the game’s greatest stars. Stripling, 26, in his major-league debut and two years removed from Tommy John surgery, tossed 71/3 hitless innings in a 3-2 Giants victory on a rainy Friday night, only to be removed. Exercising caution because Stripling has had reconstructive elbow surgery, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts removed him after 100 pitches... Читать дальше...

Spurs fall to Nuggets, lose back-to-back games Oh, well, the San Antonio forward wasn’t crying foul because he needed to polish a few things — his jumper, his shot blocking — with the postseason right around the corner. With more shots to go around, Duncan finished with a season-high 21 points, but the depleted Spurs lost 102-98 in Denver on Friday night, ending a 10-game winning streak against the Nuggets. Jusuf Nurkic scored a career-high 21 points, Gary Harris had two pivotal defensive plays... Читать дальше...

The retired pastor can encourage the teens to think about the decisions they're making now and how those choices could follow them into adulthood, the Daily Herald reported (http://bit.ly/22dlR4q). There are nine chaplains and a Roman Catholic priest who volunteer their time to help incarcerated young people. Strickler has helped Hilderbrand screen the different chaplains, and he's encouraged Hilderbrand to recruit women to serve. Because of his experience in a church setting, he's great at looking at what services to provide... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt said Bruce Springsteen and the band canceled their North Carolina concert because of the state's new law blocking anti-discrimination rules for the LGBT community, the kind of legislation that's like an "evil virus" spreading around the U.S. Springsteen and the band considered, but ultimately rejected, other options, said Van Zandt, who posthumously inducted songwriter Bert Berns into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Weiser's autopsy showed she had been assaulted, but police have refused to release further details about how she died, except to say that the route she took from her dorm to the drama building often passed Waller Creek, where her body was found. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokeswoman Julie Moody said Criner "had been in Child Protective Services care" but that she couldn't elaborate on where, for how long, or provide any further details, citing privacy rules and the ongoing criminal investigation.

When the subject did turn to Lewis, the kidding around turned to praise as Lewis was honored as a comic master, inspiration, and, for Belzer, a savior. The tribute touched upon many of the highlights of Lewis' long and singular career, from his partnership with Dean Martin to such movies as "The Nutty Professor" and his stage performance in "Damn Yankees." A compilation of pre-taped greetings included Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino and Don Rickles, who urged Lewis "to go to bed early." Belzer stripped... Читать дальше...

(AP) — A man who escaped from a Washington state psychiatric hospital where he was held after being found too mentally ill to face charges that he tortured a woman to death was found hiding under a pile of debris in the woods and apprehended without incident. Garver was charged in 2013 with tying a 20-year-old woman to her bed with electrical cords, stabbing her 24 times in the chest and slashing her throat, prosecutors said. U.S. regulators already were investigating a recent violent attack on... Читать дальше...

CHICAGO (AP) — Dennis Hastert agreed to pay $3.5 million to a person the former House speaker sexually abused when the victim was a 14-year-old wrestler on a team coached by Hastert, prosecutors said in a court filing that details allegations by five former students. The filing recommends that a federal judge sentence Hastert to up to six months in prison for violating banking laws as he sought to pay one of his victims, identified in court documents as "Individual A," to ensure the person kept quiet.

Mariners turning into annual A’s irritant SEATTLE — Since steamrolling the Mariners in 2006, winning 17 of 19 games, the A’s mostly have struggled against them, going 77-94. Seattle won 13 of 19 last year against Oakland, the only club with a worse record in the division than Seattle. There’s a fairly obvious reason that Seattle has had Oakland’s number much of the past decade: [...] Oakland often opens the season against the Mariners, occasionally home-and-home series, getting Hernandez twice in a week.

Federal prosecutors say when they questioned Dennis Hastert about his large cash withdrawals the former House speaker told them he was being extorted by someone making a false claim of sex abuse. Another wrestler cited in the document says Hastert touched his genitals while he was on a locker room massage table but he wasn't sure if it was intentional. The 74-year-old Republican managed to keep any hint of sexual misconduct quiet throughout a political career that carried him from the Illinois... Читать дальше...

MEMPHIS - Any definitive conclusions regarding the Warriors’ debate of rest vs. record will have to wait at least a day. On the heels of reaching the 70-win milestone, the Warriors on Friday went to Barbershop: The Next Cut, instead of practicing or having decision-altering conversations about how to deal with the final three games of the regular season. Memphis - to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins. With the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs already locked up... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — N.W.A. entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Friday, with the groundbreaking quintet that reflected the rough streets of Los Angeles in a style known as gangster rap defiantly refuting those who suggested rappers didn't belong in the institution. Following the act's breakup, Dr. Dre became one of music's most in-demand producers and a billionaire with a high-tech headphone company. Rock 'n' roll is not just a musical style but a spirit that connects people, be they bluesmen or punk rockers, Ice Cube said. Читать дальше...

The NCAA announced Friday that it is barring football coaches from participating in camps on other campuses, siding with the SEC in its high-profile dispute with Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and others holding so-called satellite camps. The Division I Council approved a proposal requiring Bowl Subdivision schools “to conduct camps and clinics at their school’s facilities or at facilities regularly used for practice or competition,” the NCAA said. Additionally, FBS coaches and non-coaching staff members... Читать дальше...

The two-time champion shot a 6-over-par 78 to stand at 8 over par — two shots away from his goal of playing the weekend in his last tournament at Augusta National. Watson walked up the 18th fairway to a standing ovation and warm applause. Nobody asks that question much anymore, and after failing to break 80 for the second straight round, the 5-foot-4 former champion, known by many as “The Wee Welshman,” decided he’s had enough of competitive golf at Augusta National. Woosnam, 58, said he suffers from ankylosing spondylitis... Читать дальше...

Scottsdale police and FBI officials announced plans Friday to plaster age-enhanced photos of Robert William Fisher on digital billboards across Arizona as the case approaches its 15th anniversary. Fisher, who would be 54 now, has been missing since his Scottsdale home exploded on April 10, 2001, and the passage of time necessitated a new rendering of the suspect, who is on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, authorities said. Investigators determined the explosion was arson and triggered by the disconnection of a natural gas line. Читать дальше...

A day after second baseman Joe Panik was the focus of Major League Baseball’s redefined interpretation of the so-called neighborhood play, shortstop Brandon Crawford said the change puts middle infielders at risk of injury. “I think the rule was supposed to be put in place to prevent injuries, protect infielders a little bit,” Crawford said. When MLB and the union added Rule 6.01(j) in late February to ban the takeout slide, they also terminated the neighborhood play and made it reviewable. In the past... Читать дальше...
