Domingo German disappoints again as Yankees’ bats look lifeless vs. Mariners rookie Bryan Woo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:51:22 GMT

With Domingo German fresh off a two-inning, seven-run start his last time out, Aaron Boone noted that players are prone to “hiccups here and there” over the course of a long season. But the right-hander failed to bounce back in epic fashion on Thursday, as German surrendered eight earned runs in a 10-2 loss to the Mariners.All 10 runs scored on the starter’s watch, but a two-error play involving Josh Donaldson and German in the third inning kept the latter off the double-digit hook. It also continued a stretch of careless play for the Yankees and was one of several moments that brought about thunderous boos in the Bronx on Thursday.German put the Yankees in an immediate 4-0 hole when Seattle strung together a few hits and a sacrifice fly in the first inning. Kolten Wong and Ty France then went deep in the second frame, while Teoscar Hernandez and Cal Raleigh added back-to back dingers in the fourth inning.The Big Dumper’s homer fittingly ended a night German ...

Judge suspends Wyoming's ban on abortion pills amid lawsuit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:51:22 GMT

(The Hill) — A federal judge paused Wyoming’s first-in-the-nation ban on medicated abortion pills on Thursday, citing an ongoing lawsuit over the law’s constitutionality.The ban, signed by the state’s governor in March, was set to be implemented on July 1. The law concerns two abortion pills, one of which, mifepristone, had its FDA approval challenged earlier this year. In April, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that mifepristone can still be distributed pending that challenge. How long had the Titan journeyed before its ‘catastrophic implosion’? Wyoming’s near-total ban on abortion procedures has also been challenged, and the two suits have now been combined. Arguments over the legality of abortion in the state mostly center on a 2012 constitutional amendment giving Wyoming’s a right to make their own health care decisions, enacted in response to fears over the Affordable Care Act.State attorneys have argued that abortions that aren’t to save the life of the mother or child are ...
