When the Mets’ lineup card was handed to the umpires before a game against the Reds in Cincinnati on Wednesday, Asdrubal Cabrera was listed as batting second and Wilmer Flores was to hit third. However, the lineup posted on the dugout wall incorrectly had the two hitters switched in the order. Thus, when Flores followed that lineup and batted second in the first inning — he struck out — the Mets were in trouble. When Cabrera batted next and doubled to left, Cincinnati manager Jim Riggleman made his case. Читать дальше...

The three men — Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim — walked on their own from a van and onto the plane of top diplomat Mike Pompeo. It was the culmination of Pompeo's 12½-hour visit to the North Korean capital, which included a 90-minute meeting with leader Kim Jong Un. Читать дальше...

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut lawmakers have failed to update the state's sexual harassment and assault laws, despite momentum from the #MeToo movement. The House of Representatives did not vote on the bill Wednesday, the final day of the legislative session. House leaders say there was concern about provisions in the bill that increased or eliminated the statute of limitations for certain sex crimes. The bill had cleared the Senate 31-5 earlier this month. The bill would have expanded sexual... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was all there on paper in black and white, down to the precise number of centrifuges: the terms of a potential "fix" that President Donald Trump had demanded for the United States to stay in the Iran nuclear deal. Dragged kicking and screaming into five months of negotiations, America's closest allies in Europe had finally agreed in principle to the toughest of Trump's demands. They conceded that some expectation could be put into place in perpetuity that Iran should never get closer than one year from building a bomb. Читать дальше...

BOSTON (AP) — Some immigrants living in the country illegally and accused of crimes sit in legal limbo, caught in a tug of a war between local prosecutors and federal immigration authorities who won't let them appear in court because they fear being denied the opportunity to deport them. Advocates for immigrants say the hardball tactics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are blocking due process rights, creating chaos and forcing runarounds in court systems to get immigrants who are accused of crimes in front of judges.

The Commerce Department has imposed a seven-year sales ban on ZTE in a case involving... Читать дальше...

PHILADELPHIA — During their three-week run of series wins, the Giants rightly praised the players who had stepped up for those on the disabled list. Starters Chris Stratton, Ty Blach and Andrew Suarez got a lot of the credit. The three losses to the Phillies by scores of 11-0, 4-2 and 11-3, which erased all the Giants’ gains from the weekend sweep in Atlanta, provided a reminder that trying to thrive, much less survive, is not easy without Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto. ...
