Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:22:13 GMT

Saints manager Toby Gardenhire has talked often about how unpredictable and fluid things can get in Triple-A baseball, particularly in September.The Saints’ 14-6, 10-inning loss to Columbus on Sunday at CHS Field might be the best example of that Gardenhire will ever see, and the Clippers’ eight-run 10th only begins to tell the story.In his own dizzying version of “Who’s on First,” Gardenhire has seen his job become complicated by the need to determine who’s available and who’s not — something he finds himself doing on a daily basis now that the calendar has flipped to September.“Some weeks are crazier than others,” Gardenhire said. “This has been a crazier week than most.”It starts with the two rehab players from the Twins, Byron Buxton and Alex Kirilloff. When can they play, where can play and how much can they play when they do play?Kirilloff, who has not played for the Twins since going on the injured list July 30 due to a right shoulder strain, played seven innings at first bas...

Larson claims NASCAR’s opening playoff race and gets 1st career win at Darlington

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:22:13 GMT

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Kyle Larson led the final 55 laps to start his latest NASCAR playoff run with his first career win at the Southern 500 on Sunday night. The 2021 Cup Series champion automatically advances into the round of 12 with the win at Darlington Raceway, no matter how he does in races at Kansas and Bristol the next two weeks. “What a great way to start the playoffs,” he said. Larson didn’t have the fastest car, just one that got out front at the right time while other contenders fell away. Denny Hamlin led a race-best 177 of 367 laps and looked headed for the win before he felt vibrations for what he told his crew was a loose wheel and had to pit on consecutive laps. Tyler Reddick led 90 laps, yet lost the lead to Larson coming off pit road. Kevin Harvick, seeking the first victory of his final season, challenged Harvick for the lead with less than 60 laps remaining, but was penalized when he could not avoid entering the pits moments after they were closed by NAS...
