With the Yankees and Astros beginning a three-game series in the Bronx on Tuesday, Aaron Boone fielded a series of questions concerning Houston’s long run of dominance and abysmal start to the 2024 season. The Astros have haunted the Yankees for years, but the Bombers won the first four games of the season at Minute Maid Park. Things haven’t gotten better for Houston since, as the Yankees’ nemesis entered Tuesday’s opener with a 12-22, fourth-place record. “You don’t expect to see them in the standings where they are,” Boone said...

The Maryland Cycling Classic will be postponed this year but is expected to return in 2025, officials announced Tuesday. The top-ranked road cycling race in the United States cited the capacities of both Baltimore City and Baltimore County, “the strain on existing resources and personnel” after the Key Bridge collapse, subsequent changes to the race course and the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris among the reasons for the postponement. The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, an international cycling event in Canada that is traditionally held the week after the race...

On Tuesday, May, 7, city officials shared that Unified Command salvage teams discovered the sixth and final victim who died after a cargo ship collided with the structure causing eight construction workers to fall into the body of water below them. “Maryland State Police investigators along with officers from the Maryland Transportation Authority Police and the FBI responded to the scene...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dave Martinez was asked about the rivalry between the Nationals and Orioles — specifically, whether it’s actually become much of one — and his answer was blunt. That might come as news to quite a few fans in the area — and a handful of lawyers — but what Martinez seemingly meant was despite the proximity of the franchises, there isn’t a great deal of animosity when they play. As rivalries go, this one’s been pretty friendly on the field. “I got a lot of respect for...

The body of the sixth and final victim who died in the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was found on Tuesday, officials said, bringing to a close a difficult salvage mission after the country’s deadliest bridge collapse in more than a decade. The victim, José Mynor López, 37, was a member of a work crew that had been filling potholes on the bridge when it was struck on March 26 by the Dali, a container ship on its way to Sri Lanka that apparently lost power...

(BALTIMORE) — The body of the last missing construction worker killed in the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March has been recovered, officials announced Tuesday as demolition crews prepared to use explosives in the ongoing cleanup effort. Officials said the crew of the Dali will remain on board the grounded container ship while crews conduct a controlled demolition to break down the largest remaining span of the fallen bridge. The steel span landed on the ship’s bow after the Dali lost power and crashed into one of...

“It’s the safest means for the crew members who are actually working on removing that span," Hodges said. "On top of the fact that it's a lot faster of a method." For weeks since the deadly bridge collapse on March 26, crew members working atop cranes have been painstakingly cutting into steel pieces to prepare sections for removal. The use of explosives should help accelerate the salvage process and minimize risk to the crane operators working under tough conditions. A spokesperson for the Dali ship’s owners said that authorities have...
