Logan Webb drops 4th straight start as SF Giants let lead slip away vs. Marlins

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 08:52:37 GMT

MIAMI — Haunted by left-handers all season, the Giants finally got to one Monday. They opened an early lead against the Marlins and Jesus Luzardo, and they had their ace, Logan Webb, on the mound to protect the lead. In a tough-luck seventh inning, it crumbled away.Unlike their two blown leads against the Tigers, this one can be purely pinned on Webb, who held his glove up to his mouth, in all likelihood to obscure obscenities, as a fly ball from pinch-hitter Jorge Soler soared over the center field wall and gave the Marlins what proved to be a decisive 4-3 advantage, sending San Francisco to its fourth straight loss.In his first four starts, Webb is 0-4 with a 4.94 ERA. It is the first time in his career he has lost four consecutive decisions.It appeared that Webb had skirted the worst of a tough-luck situation in the seventh, likely only adding to his frustration.The first two batters of the inning reached base on an infield single and another dribbler that left the bat at 57 mph ...

Kuwait prince dissolves parliament after court decision

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 08:52:37 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Kuwait’s crown prince has ordered its parliament again dissolved and new elections for the country after a court decision reinstated lawmakers from 2020. Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber made the announcement Monday in an address to the nation as the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan draws to an end this week. He called the decision the will of the Kuwaiti people, according to the state-run KUNA news agency. Elections were scheduled within the next two months. In March, Kuwait’s Constitutional Court threw out a 2022 election for parliament, citing “discrepancies” in the decree dissolving the 2020 parliament for its ruling. That briefly reinstated the former lawmakers. Kuwait has the freest and most active assembly among the Gulf Arab states, but political power is still largely concentrated in the hands of the ruling Al Sabah family, which appoints the prime minister and Cabinet, and can dissolve the assembly at any time. Meanwhile, p...

Separately, Musk has incorporated a new business c...
