DENVER (AP) — Evan Bouchard scored a power-play goal 1:50 into overtime, Stuart Skinner stopped 28 shots and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on Tuesday night for their eighth straight win.Bouchard lined a shot past Alexandar Georgiev to set off a celebration. Moments earlier, Colorado defenseman Bowen Byram drew a penalty for hooking Connor McDavid as the Oilers center powered toward the goal.

He’s only had seven games where he didn’t register a point. Mattias Ekholm also scored for the Oilers, who remain in the chase for the Pacific Division title with one game remaining. They also extended their points streak to 14 straight games.A contest featuring two high scoring teams turned into a defensive showdown. It was no surprise, though, this game went into an extra period. Colo...Rangers SS Seager exits game with left hamstring tightness

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager could possibly be headed to the injured list after leaving Tuesday night’s game against Kansas City because of left hamstring tightness while running the bases. Seager was running between first and second base in the fifth inning after hitting an opposite-field double into the left-field corner. He appeared to make the turn around first base cleanly, but then pulled up after a few steps and gingerly went to second base.“Gosh, he’s been swinging the bat so well You hate to see it because he’s been on fire. I mean he’s just squaring up everything,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said after the Rangers won 8-5 in 10 innings. “We’ll re-evaluate him. You know, he’s got some tightness there and we’ll see where we’re at (Wednesday).”Seager missed nearly a month while on the injured list with a left hamstring strain in 2019. Bochy said he had spoken only briefly to Seager, who wasn’t in the clubhouse when it was opened to...Ohtani turns in another gem as Angels blank Nationals 2-0

NEW YORK (AP) — David Weathers got so excited watching son Ryan escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first inning, he apologized for his exuberance to nearby spectators. “I thought they were Padres fans,” he said. “Turns out they were Yankees fans.”Ryan got his first big league win in two years, allowing one run over five innings to help San Diego beat the New York Mets 4-2 on Tuesday night. His dad, a big league pitcher from 1991-2009, watched from a second-row seat near the San Diego dugout along with David’s wife, former Belmont basketball star Kelly Davis Weathers, and Ryan’s wife, Thayer.“When they’re here, it kind of eases the nerves a little bit,” Ryan said. Starling Marte reached on a bunt single in the first inning between walks to Brandon Nimmo.“I stepped off after the third batter. I’m like, all right, deep breath,” Ryan said.

An exhausted Dansby Swanson had pushed his body to the brink.The emotional toll of the devastating knee injury his wife, Mallory, suffered in the U.S. national soccer team’s international friendly Saturday culminated with Swanson exiting in the sixth inning of the Chicago Cubs’ electric 14-9 comeback win Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners.Before the inning, Swanson, positioned on the infield grass at the edge of the dirt, made one warmup throw to first baseman Trey Mancini, turned toward the Cubs dugout and signaled he needed to be replaced. The quick sequence was captured by Marquee Sports Network’s camera behind home plate.The Cubs later announced Swanson departed with tightness in his lower left side, though manager David Ross described it as cramping after the game and did not sound overly concerned about a possible injury.“Realistically I felt like my body was just kind of done,” Swanson said. “I felt like doing anything more probably would...Local airport passengers wary of using public charging stations

BEIJING (AP) — Recent Chinese air and sea drills simulating an encirclement of Taiwan were intended as a “serious warning” to pro-independence politicians on the self-governing island and their foreign supporters, a Chinese spokesperson said Wednesday.The three days of large-scale air and sea exercises named Joint Sword that ended Monday were a response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California last week during a transit visit to the U.S. China had warned of serious consequences if that meeting went ahead.“The People’s Liberation Army recently organized and conducted a series of countermeasures in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding waters, which is a serious warning against the collusion and provocation of Taiwan independence separatist forces and external forces,” Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Cabinet’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said at a biweekly news conference. “It is a necessary action to defend national sovereig...Florida set to execute ‘ninja killer’ for 1989 murders

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida has ramped up executions under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, with a man known as the “ninja killer” set to die Wednesday for the 1989 slayings of a couple visiting the state from New Jersey.Louis Bernard Gaskin, 56, was scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. by lethal injection for the deaths of Robert Sturmfels, 56, and Georgette Sturmfels, 55, on Dec. 20, 1989, in their Flagler County winter home on Florida’s northeast coast. It will be the state’s 100th execution since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976. There are another 297 people on Florida’s death row.Gaskin, who was dubbed the “ninja killer” because he wore all-black ninja clothing during the crimes, shot his victims with a .22-caliber rifle, investigators said. He was convicted of first-degree murder.Property that he stole from the Sturmfels’ home — a clock, two lamps and a videocassette recorder — was found at his residence and were intended to be Christmas gifts f...2nd Black lawmaker could be returned to Tennessee House
